These are very classic empanadas. This is very much a no-frills place, but they definitely know…read morewhat they're doing. It's home to some of the cheaper empanadas I've had and the soups they have also look delicious (a meat soup and a corn soup). I came on one of my friend's last nights in Cordoba and we had a variety of empanadas. We all agreed the chicken one was our favorite. The flavor, with a little bit of spice, were perfect. The meat empanada was also good, but I would not recommend the corn and my friends said the ham & cheese was just ok.

This cute little corner spot has a lot of Yelp buzz, so it became a quick and Argentine-early…read moredinner (I'm home by 9). To start, I tried two empanadas. The criollo picante (spicy Creole style beef) wasn't particularly spicy or Creole. Blame Argentinian palates. The arabe (beef, onion, tomato?, spices, served with a lemon) doesn't even look like an empanada, not to mention it's got a lot of appt inside that bready exterior. That one was more consistent in content so I judge it the champion. Then came the locro. It's a bit salty for my taste, and there was more fat than meat. By a landslide. There were also bones. So a minus for meat but a plus for that wonderful choclo. Also, the place is a pretty decent value to fill you up for under $10 with tip (even with a beverage). It's a good stop for a quick bite for any meal of the day.

The food here is, no doubt, one of the best of its kind, I sampled both the gluten free and the…read moreregular ones and they where delicious. Most dishes are rather fast food, very nice and in well balanced sizes, the decor was not much my taste but not ugly. There is a very large and nice section for kids which makes it an ideal family place. They take extra care with the gluten free menus, including things like having sealed packages for cutlery and separate kitchens. There are two things that I disliked about this place: 1) The serving, perhaps given the separate kitchens, was not very ordered, my wife got her entree some time before me and had almost finished it when I got mine and then the main dishes where there when I was just beginning with my entree, which is very generous so it should allow for some time to eat it slowly. 2) The smell, there is a strong greasy smell, perhaps the kitchen does not ventilate correctly, the place seems very clean so this is not smell of uncleaned place just bad ventilation.

An absolute pleasure. So happy I decided to hit up this place. Wow. Elegant atmosphere with windows…read morelooking out on the boulevard with the stream running through town. White tablecloths and nice wine glasses. Very formal yet personal staff. I arrived at 9:15pm and no one was in the restaurant. I wondered if I had made a mistake or if the reviews were wrong. Bread and a light appetizer of bread and diced tomatoes were brought out. I took my time browsing the menu. No one rushed me all the waiters were so patient; that's when I knew to get comfortable and buckle up it's gonna be a great meal. I ordered a bottle of nice Malbec and a light appetizer. I kept the menu and decided to order after the appetizer. People started to flood in and by 10:30 the restaurant was buzzing. I really like the idea and the practice of eating late; just when traveling alone there isn't much to do besides drink until late while waiting for the restaurant to open. The waiter recommended a mushroom gravy steak. I enquirer about the lasagna and he lit up and quickly pointed out that the chicken and spinach lasagna was. Amazing. I had another glass of wine to contemplate what I would choose. Ultimately I told Luis to choose. He brought out the lasagna with a huge bowl of fresh Parmesan and a cream sauce. Wow! Really excellent. The whole experience from the wait staff to the wine to the atmosphere to the food was excellent. A class act of a restaurant. Halfway through the main course I knew I would order dessert. I let Luis choose again, he brought out La paneke la mamma de manzana (empanada bread on a plate with caramelized sugar and apples with a huge scoop of ice cream and berries with a cup of expresso. I'm not a huge coffee drinker however it all went together like peas and carrots. Still had 1/3 of bottle of wine that I had to finish that I took time while drinking to write this review. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Cordoba.
