My favorite was the carne empenadas. 1810 has 2 stews under the comidas tipicas section and I tried the Loero, wowsers! The stew is hearty with lots of carne and garbanzo beans with thick and tasty broth. The portion is fairly large, best to share. There's not a lot of seating inside this restaurant, not good for large groups. Many locals did take out. Service was good. They only have 1-2 English menus and the rest in Spanish. The servers speak basic English. Prices won't break the bank either. Hope to visit again someday! #38/2018

We got there at around 1:30pm on a Thursday and it was busy. Can tell it was full of locals on their lunch since many were wearing office attire and on very friendly terms with the staff. The place has a very cozy vibe and was full of momentos. If we weren't leaving Buenos Aires the next day, we would have definitely gone back again! Definitely worth checking out and don't feel like you need to try a bunch of different things. Many people just ordered plates piled high with empanadas. We regret not doing the same!

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.

I stayed in BA for a month and every day after class, a bunch of us would go here to chill and have a cheap lunch. They're 12 pesos each, probably the cheapest in town. I personally love the pollo because it reminds me of Indian food-like the perfect fusion. But the Humita (corn and cheese) is a close second. You will not regret it. I promise.

Ñañaña empanadas!!…read more El chiste para mi fue un descubrimiento tan FANTASTICO como nefasto! Fantastico porque tiene una fugazzeta genial y una de las mejores empanadas de Roquefort que haya comido sinceramente.

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.

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!

My friend purchased some fresh figs from a stand - she said that they were good. After perusing a few more stores checking out some of the antiques, clothing and artwork we found thw place to just be uncomfortably hot. It was very busy early on Sunday afternoon so the crowd was substantial and with no air-conditioning, it was very warm. So we left soon thereafter. Perhaps if we were in the city longer, it would be worth returning amd spending a little more time looking around or getting small bites or drinks.

Topping the list of things I wanted to experience in Buenos Aires was San Telmo Market (aka Mercado…read morede San Telmo), a national historic monument and market hall that's been around since 1897. Because I also wanted to experience the Sunday street fair (Feira de San Telmo) outside its doors I came, initially, on a Sunday. Big mistake. By all means, enjoy the street fair on a Sunday but by no means try to enjoy San Telmo Market that same day. By late afternoon, when I tried to enter the market hall (consisting almost entirely of food and drink purveyors), the place was so packed that one could barely move. The sole place I found with any space was an unoccupied stool in a wine bar so I plopped down and drank wine for the next 90 minutes, not an entirely bad idea. Getting food - let alone navigating myself around the place - seemed a task beyond my abilities. I left San Telmo Market vowing to return on a day when I could walk its aisles, see all of the places to eat and drink, and sit down to enjoy a meal. I did all of this on a weekday afternoon with success. The hall is filled with places to eat and drink (and really, not a lot more than that) and checking all of them out was fun. You could find similar food elsewhere in Buenos Aires but then you'd not be sitting inside a historic market hall. Make time for San Telmo Market but if you go on a Sunday, don't say you weren't warned.
