Alpasión Restaurant

Alpasion Food truck opened its doors on February 2024 in response to a perceived opportunity and demand. There was a noticeable lack of options in the area for a quick snack, with most establishments offering fixed menus comprising at least three courses. Our Foodtruck caters to winemakers, agronomists, joggers, cyclists, and tourists seeking a swift bite and refreshment between winery visits.

Despite operating from a food truck, we maintain high standards of quality and presentation, challenging conventional notions of street and gourmet food.

Our menu features Empanadas homemade dough and never frozen!

Apart from the traditional meat and chicken empanadas we offer alternative stuffing such as wild mushrooms and cheese, spinach & ricotta, ham & cheese, roasted chicken stew or, one of our favorites: “escabeche de chivo” (pickled and slowly cooked goat)… some flavors are seasonal such as trout or salmon stew, and humitas (corn stew).

All our empanadas are served with special sauces created to pair with each empanada, as traditional chimichurri, creole sauce, walnuts creole sauce, roasted charred squash sauce, mojo (thick herbs pesto), romescu… among others.

Choripanes and other sandwiches are made from scratch as well, starting from natural fermentation of our doughs from one to three days, depending on the different type of bread.

And of course, meat, chicken, or eggplant milanesas served on homemade ciabatta, “tortitas” mendocinas, a traditional flatbread filled with eggplant or goat escabeche—a nod to Valle de Uco gastronomy. Handmade pastries, including alfajores, media lunas, croissants, and cookies, complement our offerings, perfect for pairing with freshly brewed coffee, mate, tea, or cold-pressed juices. Naturally, our selection is curated to harmonize with our wines, while also showcasing local artisan beers and pure water sourced from the Andean mountains.
