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)

Mmmmm Matteo has some excellent huevos revueltos! I got the scrambled eggs with ham and onions, and…read morethey were moist and flavorful... The cafe con leche was pretty average, even though it was served in a very cute cup. I got a half portion of toast too, which I totally didn't need- it doesn't say it on the menu, but the scrambled eggs come with two big pieces of buttery toast! The service was slow as most other reviews said... But the cute ambience made up for it in my eyes :)

Strongly recommended by the waiter we decided to try the slow cooked pork BBQ sandwich and the…read morepastrami sandwich. Both were delicious and huge! The pletzlach bread they were served on was perfect - soft center and crisp outside. The BBQ was not very sweet which I prefer and the pork was very tender and easy to eat in sandwich. I had a hard time deciding which sandwich I liked best but I think I would go with the pastrami - very flavorful and the meat was tender. The pickles were a great compliment to the meat. The staff was very friendly and the ambience while nothing special was comfortable.

Horrible service. Mediocre food. We were a group of 20 tourists, and we had reserved and paid…read moreupfront 20 dollars a person for a full meal. We arrived at the time we were supposed to, but the place wasn't ready to receive us. It took them 30 minutes just to serve us bread and water. The appetizers took one hour to be served. They were ok, but the quantity wasn't near enough for 20 people. Like, 4 pieces of falafel for a table of 8... just as an example. The main courses were served almost 2 hours (!) after we arrived. We arrived at 1:30 pm and the main courses started being served around 3:20 pm. And then, the food was horrible. The gefilte fish, for example, had no taste at all, and had been complete dried and fried. It just tasted like cardboard. To finish the horror show, the dessert, which also we had paid for upfront for all 20 people, was served only at 4:30pm, three hours after we arrived, and when more than half of the people had left. And if this wasn't enough, when some of the remaining people asked for coffee, we were asked to pay extra for it! It's not the price that bothered me, but the audacity they had to ask for more money after the absolutely horrible performance they had. In short, avoid this place as the plague! Even one single star is too much for them...

The sandwiches are made to order and the line can be a bit intimidating or overwhelming, but they are so quick, you will be in and out in less than 10 minutes. They have a wide array of sandwiches but the milanesa is the way to go. You get a big portioned sandwich, on fresh bread, we got two big sandwiches with all of the recommended fixings. We got two drinks and two waters - all for less than 13 USD. We couldn't believe it. This meal in the states would've easily been $35 and the quality would not have been as good. Most people here take their sandwiches to go, but they have a little sitting area upstairs if you want to eat it fresh there! Sandwiches were so big I could not finish mine. One of our favorite sandwiches in all of Argentina on our visit!
