We were greeted by security at the door, escorted by a lovely hostess who let us choose a table and were pleasantly surprised that the waitress spoke great English. We ordered empanadas to start and were presented with a beautiful plate consisting of two Empanadas garnished with colorful pico sauce. In the land of steak and empanadas yours have to be fantastic to stand out. These were just ok. Next we ordered the seafood platter. There was no explanation but we rolled the dice. We received a fried fish plate with fried calamari, shrimp, salmon and whitefish. This also included a healthy side of green salad. The fried fish was lightly breaded but very greasy. Then finally we received the porterhouse steak which came with a topping of sweetbread and a garnish of the same pico sauce. Honestly the pico sauce and salad were my favorite part of the meal. The steak and accomponing fried potato stuffed with cheese was pretty cold.

Our walking tour ended here and we were free to dine, explore, etc…read more The Mercado de San Telmo is an indoor market place that has many small dining options, antiques shops, fruiting veggie stands and souvenir shops We weren't hungry so we decided to peruse the shop and see what they had to offer. My friend purchased some fresh figs from a stand - she said that they were good. After perusing a few more stores checking out some of the antiques, clothing and artwork we found thw place to just be uncomfortably hot. It was very busy early on Sunday afternoon so the crowd was substantial and with no air-conditioning, it was very warm. So we left soon thereafter. Perhaps if we were in the city longer, it would be worth returning amd spending a little more time looking around or getting small bites or drinks. You may want to include on your list of places to visit to decide for yourself.

This is the very best place in the Monserrat/San Telmo district of BA to get incredible desserts…read morebut especially made-to-order sandwiches. Everything is freshly baked and the food is delicious. You won't be able to decide which pastry to choose, I guarantee it! Friendly staff to boot! I recommend the chicken or jamón crudo (ham) and cheese on a baguette.

Oh my! If you are ever able to sample these wonderful cookies from heaven, you'll never want to eat…read moreanother cookie again. Someone gifted us with assortment of cookies from this bakery in Buenos Aires. All were delicious. My favorite was a cookie topped with raspberry jam, an almond and icing. It was better than an orgasm...ok maybe not better but pretty darn close. These cookies were bite size but each had its own distinct and delicious flavor. If ever I make it to Buenos Aires I will definitely look this bakery up and spend the entire day sampling all their little bits of heaven. So `Ono!

Four star food, with one star attitude (hence two stars). When I ask if you speak English it's not…read morean insult. It's because I need to know if I can ask more complicated questions than I'm capable of using my remedial Spanish. It's not an opportunity to ask my if I speak Spanish. Nasty millennial BS. Anyways, the empanadas are amazing. Everything else is mediocre. The restaurant itself is super dirty and disgusting- and as I mentioned, the attitude of the girl taking orders at the front is pure garbage... no translation needed.

A happening empanada joint in San Telmo - I was surprised at how delicious the food was, especially…read morefor the great prices. It seemed that mostly locals were coming here to eat, which was a good sign. I'd recommend any of their empanadas and their falafel wrap. The spicy lamb empanada was especially good - chock full of just the right amount of lamb and a nice kick of heat - I had to order a couple more after wolfing down the first one. The falafel wrap had just the right amount of veggies, sauce, and falafel. Also generous in size - it's big enough to feed two people.

This is a small place, located a bit far from many of the most touristy places in Buenos Aires…read more The kind of food you can expect are classic meats from Spain, like raw ham, sausage, bologna, etc. It also has an extensive variety of cheese, as well as an insurmountable number of different wines. If you are in a hurry, the place has sandwiches on the go. Beware that you might want to carry some cash on you, since the place does not accept credit cards.
