The service here is fine, they take about 15 minutes to prepare your orders. We got some ham and…read morecheese empanadas as well as some cheese and onion. Unfortunately both of these were relatively mediocre. The onions in the cheese and onion empanadas were far too large and made it hard to eat and the ham and cheese lacked any flavor. In a pinch this is fine. You can only takeaway, there's no spaces to sit down and eat inside.

Muy buenas empanadas. Elegir siempre la opción de llevarlas ya calientes. Muy sabrosas.read more

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.

This place had the best Venezuelan food to offer while I stayed in Argentina for 3 months. My…read moregirlfriend and I first tried this place because it was down the street from where we lived. The owner was very helpful with the menu. Our spanish wasn't good so he guided us through the selection of food. They definitely have a lot of patience there, that's for sure. We ended up going with the arepas. My girlfriend fell in love after the first bite! We had tried arepas once, but it was a colombian/korean fusion style that was good, but just didn't compare to the one at la cabonera. The owner had mentioned that on saturday afternoon was empanada day. I have a great love for empanadas, so we were there! I am so happy that we found out about empanada day. It is something very special. I don't know if a lot of people know it but, each and every empanada is made to order. That is as fresh as it can get!! The wife owner sits in the back the whole time flattening the masa, filling it up, and folding it, all by hand! There's a lot of love put into these empanadas. The moment you bite into it, angels come down from the heavens and sing to you. It's totally different from an argentine empanada because it's corn instead of the flour and i love that. It is the crunchiest empanada i've ever bitten into. I love the mechada, which is the shredded beef. The meat stays super tender and juicy inside it's masa house. Pair it with their papelon and that's it! Amazing
