If I'd reviewed El Sanjuanino after my first visit it would have been a 5-star review. Simply put,…read moreanytime I get a bowl of melted cheese the stars ensue automatically. Here in Buenos Aires, the melted cheese dish is known as provoleta and if your sensibilities mirror mine I'd suggest getting it wherever and whenever you see it on a menu. No exception here. I came back a second time with a smaller group and really couldn't justify provoleta for my party of 2 simply because I knew I'd consume it all. So my second visit, while very good indeed, allowed me to focus on parts of the menu that I'd enjoyed previously while not over-filling myself on provoleta. What that looked like was this: Multiple versions of empanadas, Choripán (basically a sausage sandwich), and flan, all accompanied by beer and wine and all enjoyed at a very reasonable price. TripAdvisor guests rate El Sanjuanino very high as do I. I have a hunch it'd be the place I'd return to repeatedly each time I found myself in Recoleta. It's casual and delicious - especially the provoleta - attracting both Argentinians and in-the-know travelers. You'd be wise to count yourself amongst them.

Great empanadas, especially the one with chicken! Definitely my favorite! The tomato wasn't my…read morefavorite, for some reasons it didn't feel ripe for the season, a little watery. But hey, if you come here you mainly come for empanadas!! And those are great! I tried both fried and baked, and I liked them both. Service was very nice and fun, we felt very welcome and cared for. We ate outside, and it was very pleasant, so I can't really say something about the ambience inside.

We ordered the carne (beef) and the humita (corn, cheese, onion) empanadas. They tasted great and had a lot of filling. I actually liked the vegetarian one more since the cheese was extra stretchy.

This is a very decent Peruvian restaurant in the southern part of Buenos Aires. The service was…read morevery prompt and friendly. The food was very well made tasty with great portion sizes and a wide selection of dishes including ceviches work fried, Chifa of style, Peruvian roast chicken and traditional fare. Prices were very reasonable considering how much food you get. There is wine and beer available, as well as a variety of traditional Peruvian sodas, including a delicious, house-made chicha morada. The ambience leaves a lot to be desired, but if they keep the prices I really don't mind that so much. I did not appreciate that one of the dishes was 10,000 Argentinian pesos but we were charged 13,000 hence the four stars. But the food is 5 stars. Highly recommend if you're in the area around Pompeya. Cheers!
