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.

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.

Cumaná features a menu so expansive and diverse that dining here sparked excitement. That and the…read morerestaurant's cute cat, who roams the floor, utterly content. The menu is all over the map - with something for everyone - but the things I focused on over 2 visits were traditional offerings and a sweet potato dish that might not be traditional but ought to be. On my first visit I tried a traditional Argentinan stew called Locro. Baked in a clay oven and served piping hot, Locro featured white corn, beans, squash, and meat. I was enjoying it well enough until the sweet potato dish arrived at which point all bets were off; that dish got all of my attention. The menu features a "wood-fired potato and sweet potato" category and it was from that small offering that I'd opted for the sweet potato topped with creamed corn, honey, and walnuts. During my first visit - and even on the return visit - I'd have sworn this dish was covered in melted cheese. It was not. But the combination of flavors and textures was so immensely satisfying that I couldn't wait for a do-over. During my second visit I again ordered the amazing sweet potato (and a Northern-Style Tamale, a bottle of wine, and flan). Everything was, again, quite delicious but that sweet potato? It was fabulous and one of my top flavor sensations in a month of travel. Cumaná serves immensely satisfying food that differs from what you find elsewhere. You can go with pizzas and pastas but why, when the menu is filled with gems rarely found elsewhere. And as for that sweet potato? I never saw anything like it on any other menu. Miss it at your own peril.

On our last day in Buenos Aires we decided to have a late lunch before our flight and with many…read morerestaurants closed between lunch and dinner, we discovered this restaurant which was open. What an amazing find. I started with a ham&cheese Empanada, and for my main dish the spinach cannelloni. It was delicious!!! Filled with flavor that I could not stop eating. My father, who lives in Buenos Aires ordered the Locro which I had to try and once again, delicious (but a little spicy so you know). My wife ordered the mondongo, which she really liked. My son ordered the chicken quesadilla which he enjoyed and my daughter ordered the potato gnocchi which I did try, because it's hard to find a place that makes good gnocchi, and they did. They were very flavorful!! The service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The place is very nice inside but a bit dark, but it was also a cloudy day with rain which didn't help. My father was so happy we brought him there so now he has a new place to eat and bring friends to try the food. My only complaint may be the bread they served the table. It was hard to eat it with butter because it kept crumbling, but don't eat too much bread, because the portions are big and you will want to eat every bit like I did. Enjoy!!!

The Location: It is located in Palermo soho, near the corner of Jorge Luis Borges and Paraguay. The…read morelocation is relatively safe, and it is a touristy area. The People: Good staff. The Food: - Jamón y queso (Ham and Cheese) : A really good empanada. This one I recommend trying--the ham-to-cheese ratio is phenomenal. - Jamón, queso, tomate (Ham, Cheese, and Tomato) [#1 recommendation]: This one was my favorite empanada in this place so far. A must try. If you like ham and cheese and only want to try one empanada, make sure it is this one. The ham-and-cheese one is good but the this one (with the added tomato flavor) makes it delicious. - Carne suave (Smooth Meat): A good empanada to eat. Neither bad nor out of the ordinary. - Carne Cümen-Cümen (Cümen Meat): If you want to try a meat empanada that tastes differently than other typical meat empanadas, I would try this one. It was decent, but certainly different than the standard meat ones. - Carne cortada a cuchillo (Cut Meat) [#2 recommendation]: Of the meat selections in this review, I would say my favorite (or the one I would buy if I had only the choice to buy one meat empanada) is this one. Similar to how they cut the meat "al pastor" in the United Sates or Mexico. Good choice. Pollo (Chicken) [#3 recommendation]: It was good. Of the empanada flavors talked to above, this one would be one of three that I would probably buy again. Good flavor. The Venue: They have (as shown in the pictures I have provided here) enough seating indoors for about 10 people to eat. However, this is more of a take-out delivery place. I ordered my empanadas to-go. But if you are in a group of four people and want to eat-in, I am sure that works out too. They have some special offers but only if you buy a significant amount of empanadas. Upshot: A really solid place to grab some empanadas in Palermo soho. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ La ubicación: se encuentra en Palermo Soho, cerca de la esquina de Jorge Luis Borges y Paraguay. La ubicación es relativamente segura, y es una zona turística. La gente: buen personal. Los alimentos: - Jamón y queso: una muy buena empanada. Recomiendo probar este: la proporción de jamón a queso es fenomenal. - Jamón, queso, tomate [#1 recomendacion]: esta fue mi empanada favorita en este lugar hasta ahora. Hay que probarlo. Si te gusta el jamón y el queso y solo quieres probar una empanada, asegúrate de que sea esta. El jamón y queso es bueno, pero este (con el sabor de tomate agregado) lo hace delicioso. - Carne suave: una buena empanada para comer. Ni malo ni fuera de lo común. - Carne Cümen-Cümen: si desea probar una empanada de carne que tiene un sabor diferente a otras empanadas de carne típicas, probaría esta. Era decente, pero ciertamente diferente de los estándar de carne. - Carne cortada a cuchillo [#2 recomendacion]: De las selecciones de carne en esta revisión, diría que mi favorita (o la que compraría si solo tuviera la opción de comprar una empanada de carne) es esta. Similar a cómo cortaron la carne "al pastor" en los Estados Unidos o México. Buena elección. Pollo [#3 recomendacion]: estaba bueno. De los sabores de empanada mencionados anteriormente, este sería uno de los tres que probablemente compraría nuevamente. Buen sabor. El lugar: tienen (como se muestra en las fotos que he proporcionado aquí) suficientes asientos en el interior para que coman unas 10 personas. Sin embargo, este es más un lugar de entrega de comida para llevar. Pedí mis empanadas para llevar. Pero si usted está en un grupo de cuatro personas y quiere comer, estoy seguro de que eso también funciona. Tienen algunas ofertas especiales, pero solo si compra una cantidad significativa de empanadas. Resumen: Un lugar realmente sólido para tomar algunas empanadas en Palermo Soho.

THESE EMPANADAS ARE SO GOOD YOU WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY…read more I'm not joking, I'm in love with these empanadas. They're delicious. 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.

Empanadas, delivered!…read more Though common for folks who live in Buenos Aires, I found it very novel that you can have empanadas delivered to you anywhere in the city. When the box of piping hot pastries arrived at our hotel, I was so excited. We got a mix of 10 between us, 5 fried, 5 baked. I liked the fried and baked equally and my favorite fillings were choclo (corn) and carne criollo. I'd probably have more comments regarding the various fillings but for the fact that I accidentally dropped our remaining empanadas on the floor in the line for customs at the airport. (Insert gigantic sad face here.) If you're craving empanadas but want to stay in the comfort of your pajamas, order from Gourmet Empanadas Caseras!
