Ok guys so we decided to take an impromptu trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina to hang out with our…read morefriends and as luck would have it we arrived on Christmas Day 2022. All good as flight was great and the weather was awesome; however, as you can imagine at least for today many restaurants are closed.... Argh.... No worries though, after busting out the Yelp app and a little elbow grease we found a local pizza joint in the Palermo district of Buenos Aires that looked good, had a great vibe and yep was open!
Kentucky is a chain pizza restaurant in Argentina but the locals love it and are he place was packed. After a few minutes we were at our table and our server was providing recommendations to our group. As mentioned before the vibe is great and remember your in Argentina so you need to slow things down a bit. Food will take awhile but then again that is pretty normal in most places in Buenos Aires. People really like to take their time, hang out and enjoy each others company. Hey when in Rome folks.... Strike up a conversation with the person next door and chill, you just might have a good time and make a friend! LOL.
So we ordered a number of individual pizzas, hamburgers and empanadas and all were excellent. One recommendation as with most places in Argentina is to UBER in the evening and walk or bicycle during the day if you can. Street parking is available but if you are not used to driving in Buenos Aires, it can get tricky here so better to just use easier modes of transportation. Prices were very, very affordable as well but they usually are as exchange rates are sitting around $250 - $350 ARS to $1US so go ahead and snack on! Overall, we all really enjoyed the food and we will be back for lunch. Enjoy and Bon Appétit!
