The Scoop
Rico's Empanadas & Coffee bills itself as Argentina's best empanadas, right on the Venice Beach boardwalk, and it has been feeding that stretch of Ocean Front Walk for more than seven years. The empanadas are baked and the range runs wide, with signature lattes and specialty drinks alongside them and pastries at the counter. You can walk up off the sand, order a matcha and an empanada, and carry both back into the crowd without breaking stride. Ask for co-owner Rosie, the beautiful viral sensation. Venice has plenty of places trading on the location alone. Rico's has lasted because the food is good, and we would put it on any boardwalk route.
