Doña Tota is casual restaurant located in the colorful Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires. This…read moreresto was a stop on our food tour. I love booking food tours when I travel. It's a great way to learn about a country and it's good. A nice way to meet new people. Often, the food tour guide will also recommend other restaurants (gems or where locals eat) one must try. Anyway, Parrilla Doña Tota is named after Maradona's mom. This resto is really an hommage to Maradona. There are pictures of him and his family everywhere. My husband abc I ate both Argentina (futbol) fans so we were stoked! You can tell this place is a local fav. It's a casual and the staff were so nice and welcoming. We had several dishes to include: steak (of course - when in Argentina, you have to eat steak), fries, the dulce de lèche flan was out of this world delicious). Other local dishes we had was the Morcilla (black pudding sausage), and tortilla de papas (potatoes with eggs dish). I definitely recommend this resto. It was reasonably priced as well. Oh and we enjoyed the wine, specifically the Malbec.

One of the best alternatives to Don Julio in Buenos Aires. I get it, most locals will tell you that…read morea proper and truly authentic asado is done at home...and they are right because it tastes completely different and it's an experience. Here, they do all the right things and serve tons and tons of meats. They have it all, so good in fact, Diego Maradona himself once dined here when he was alive. The service was immaculate, everyone was very friendly and welcoming, we happened to walk in right during a slow day, and it was perfect. The ambiance is very cozy, lots of paintings of prominent Argentine figures such as Carlos Gardel and of course Diegito. I highly recommend coming to dine here, the food is well made and the wine selection is very nice as well (We opted for Coca W/ Fernet since we were on our way to watch Futbol)

Chori happened to be close to our hotel so headed over for an early dinner on Thursday around 6:30…read more The place was empty but right before ordering noticed "reserved" signs were being placed on the tables. Turned out a couple of Food tours were arriving soon. Lucky we were ordering takeaway. Smaller spot with just about an equal amount of in/outdoor seating. We ordered a couple of the Guest Chori's-The Juan Pedro Caballero (pork) and the Carneceria (beef). Juan Pedro had tortilla chips and peppers and the pork chorizo sausage was saltier than the beef. We ordered a Chimichurri sauce on the side and enjoyed it. We liked the Pork more than the Beef-just was more flavorful. The Bread was thick, soft and held up to the Choripan and condiments well. Potato salad with al dente potatoes was tasty. They also have beer and cocktails so ordered a Gin and Tonic while we waited for our order. Friendly people behind the counter. Food was ready in about 15 minutes. That said, I can see they could get busy and have longer wait times. Make this stop for local grilled sausage deliciousness.

They served mostly chori and one morci (blood) sausage sandwiches but with a twist with their toppings. You could get just the sandwich or combine with side and drink. I picked the Invitado Juan Pedro Caballero and the cashier hesitated before entering the order as she wanted me to know it was picante. I assured her it was not a problem and then paid with my credit card. After a short wait, they called my name and I picked up my choripan. it was quite the handful filled with layers of roasted peppers, tortilla chips, onions and lettuce. The tortilla chips were stale but overall I liked the flavors especially with the heat from the peppers and chipotle mayo. It was a nice twist on the popular choripan.
