CHALOS - What does “Chalos” mean?
(In case you haven’t heard it from Gonzalo himself)
In Argentina, “Chalo” is a nickname for Gonzalo. Gonzalo is the founder of Chalos, a cafe specializing in Argentine-style empanadas and churros.
Chalos stands for the three “Gonzalos” — Gonzalo himself, his father, and his son.
Chalos’ empanadas and churros are made from authentic Argentine recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation within Gonzalo’s family for you to enjoy.
We are proud to be serving delicious Argentine bites to the west side of the city and beyond. Cheers to many more years!

“Empanadas at Chalos
Just blocks from the ocean, Chalos is a bright and beachy cafe with over a dozen kinds of empanadas. At barely $4 each, these crisp Argentinian pastries practically demand a full sampling. Fillings include chicken, ham and cheese, three-cheese, and spinach and mushroom. Prepared to order and served hot, the classic “carne” with beef and hardboiled egg is highly recommended, as is the spinach and crema.”
Word on the street says that we may have one of the best breakfast burritos in San Francisco...

What is an empanada?
Think of them as a savory hand pie, a stuffed dough pocket or a mini calzone - filled with just about anything from meat, vegetables and/or cheese. Just bites of deliciousness…
Empanadas are very popular throughout Latin America, Spain and the Philippines. They can be fried or baked, sweet or savory (depending on the region), and can be eaten as a snack or a full meal.
At Chalos, our empanadas are Argentine-Style and can be served fried and/or baked.
What are you waiting for? Come on by and give our empanadas a try!

San Francisco’s character is bold and bright, and as locals living and growing in this city, we are so proud to be part of its story! ☀️🏙️
We are incredibly honored to be featured by @jpmorganchase@Chase in their latest look at San Francisco’s reimagined future. Expanding downtown was a major milestone for us, and being part of this comeback—helping to bring energy and community back to the city’s core—is a dream come true.
A massive thank you to the teams at @chase , @jpmorganchase@mainstlaunch , @sfofficeofsmallbusiness @ SFOEWD , and for the spotlight and, most importantly, for believing in us. Your support has been essential in helping us grow and thrive in the city we love.
While our heart remains in the Outer Sunset where we started, we are so grateful to be fueling the downtown ecosystem and making community happen every day. 🥂🥟
