Beyond Malbec wine and tango, few vestiges of Argentinian culture make it to Fort Worth. That may be due to the dearth of an Argentinian ex-pat community on this side of North Texas. The Argentinian owners of Del Campo Empanadas, which opened in May, admitted the same on a recent visit. The cozy space that occupies a Northside strip mall boasts rows and rows of golden-baked empanadas. Each savory pie is hand-formed with unique shapes that denote the contents. The shrimp empanada is triangular while the ham and cheese is cylindrical, for example.
