If you're not well-versed when it comes to Argentinian cuisine, allow Tango Pastry to give you a crash course. The bakery in Alexandria specializes in South American sweets and treats, from pastries and cakes to empanadas and brunch fare—so take your taste buds on an adventure when you stop by Tango.

If you're in the mood for something sweet, order a few facturas. These flaky pastries look almost like croissants, but they're crafted using a spongy dough that contains the sweet ingredients of your choice, from vanilla custard to dulce de leche (regulars highly recommend the latter). On the savory side of the menu, you'll find empanadas. These pinched pastries ooze cheese, meat, and veggies with every bite, so order a handful of them for a unique lunch. You can also come by for brunch on the weekends and dig into various sandwiches, steaks, and even pizza and pasta at Tango Pastry.
