I had the veggie burger with carrots and pumpkin. It was absolutely delicious. Their fries resemble chips and are very good.

The best empanadas I have ever tasted. This place is a hidden gem in Buenos Aires, and when I say…read morehidden, I mean really hidden. You cannot see La Cocina from the street. You must enter the shady underground plaza with the barber and sex shop, walk all the way to the back, and there you will find this unassuming little empanada shop. No habla Español, but navigating the menu was easy. They make beef, chicken, and ham empanadas, plus four vegetarian flavors. I ordered one of each of the veggie options, plus a few Carne Picante ones for my boyfriend. Their empanadas are made fresh to order, so be prepared to wait about 15 minutes. There are a few tables outside, but if dining in a fluorescent lit basement isn't your thing, you probably want to take your order to go. My empanadas were still piping hot 30 minutes later when I arrived back at my hotel. The best of the vegetarian selection was the Pikachu, a four cheese empanada with mild chili spices. The filling was packed with richly savory flavor without being overly oily or salty. The Queso y Cebolla (cheese and caramelized onion) and Pascualina (Spinach) were also fantastic, but more on the mild side. The Choclo (sweet corn) was okay, but too sweet. It tasted like congee with honey in it-enjoyable for a bite or too, but not one that I would order again. Highly recommended.

Unpretentious eatery, where empanadas are made and baked on order, in front of you! They have eight…read moredifferent stuffings, enough for two people if you order one each and are willing to share. One - with corn - appears vegetarian. Another one - with spinach - also appears to have no meat. Locals frequent this spot.

First some background: the Buenos Aires Tourist Board has designated a number of bars. cafes, and…read morecommunity centers as "Notable Bars." They tend to be very old and serve classic food. La Puerto Rico is a "Notable Bar." It was founded in 1887. It's located in the Monserrat neighborhood a couple of blocks off the Plaza de Mayo and up the street from the beautiful Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. The waiter explained to me why one must never say El Puerto Rico. It's La Puerto Rico. But apparently my Spanish is not good enough to catch the nuances. Just go with "la." But I do know this. La Puerto Rico was great for lunch. The service was excellent. We both had huge slices of savory pies -- think of the lunch in an English pub, but tastier. Mine was pumpkin and onions and it was terrific. My wife had a glass of lovely white wine. I stuck with a soft drink. Some of the older reviews are pretty critical. Apparently La Puerto Rico shut down during covid and reopened with a new menu, chef, and servers. If you're nearby, give La Puerto Rico a try.

Cool little spot in the city center. Throw back to a different time…read more Our server was old school, super polite and kind. You can tell her has been doing this for years at this restaurant and had his routine down. We had the Continental Breakfast, which came with fruit, eggs, today and deli meats for two, along with two coffees and fresh squeezed OJ. At first, i didn't think it would be enough food but i was super wrong once i saw the sizes of the plates and food stacked up. Eggs were ok, deli meats and cheeses were good but my favorites were the carbs (bread) and the fresh fruit. And the ORANGE JUICE here was so fresh. Enjoyed it more than my coffee . Should've ordered 2!
