DelSur Empanadas, owned and operated by Argentine natives Diego Montero (Cordoba) and Nicolas Nikolov (Buenos Aires), was the Twin Cities’ first Argentinian Empanada restaurant. Starting in a food truck, they transitioned to brick and mortar in 2018, making freshly baked, handcrafted-from-scratch empanadas.
At this fun summer meeting, we will hear from Nico and Diego and learn all about how Consultant and Small Business Strategist, Joann Lynch, brings their story to life.
Taste the flavors of Argentina by snacking on their famous empanadas. Swoon in the Argentine music and learn a bit about their culture. Leave with 10% off empanadas to go after the meeting!

Joann is a small business strategist who focuses on the training, marketing, and community building aspects of the business and has been consulting with DelSur since 2020.
Her work with DelSur includes efforts such as managing external partners to ensure alignment of branding and other visual elements, collaborating with the DelSur team on refining their day-to-day processes and systems, crafting engaging Argentine experiences for the event space, and taking far too many pictures and videos to ensure a representative brand voice and strong digital presence.
Nico (Buenos Aires) and Diego (Cordoba), met through a mutual friend at a Minneapolis dinner party (2009). A friendship began and their shared passion for Argentine culture and food - later became DelSur Empanadas! In 2014 they started working out of a Minneapolis rental kitchen, selling empanadas online through Facebook and their website with pop-ups at Twin Cities breweries (2015). In 2016 their food truck rolled onto the Twin Cities streets. At that time, it was mostly attending food truck festivals, tap rooms, and downtown lunch gatherings, but has grown to include weddings, corporate events, national night out and whatever works with distance and time.
2018 brought the first brick and mortar location in Minnetonka. This location hosts gatherings within their events space such as birthday celebrations, fine dining events, and even tango! In 2020, they opened a kitchen within the Market at Malcolm Yards Food Hall and last year they partnered with Kowalski’s to offer 4 of their empanada varieties (beef, sweet corn, chorizo, and spinach) within the deli.
