I also appreciated that you can order individual slices of specific flavors and sit down to enjoy them. We had a slice of Margherita and another with sweet red peppers and green olives. Both were gooey with cheese and absolutely delicious. We also shared a beef empanada, which was fantastic. Most of the customers seemed to be locals, but we even saw a group come in with carry-on suitcases, so clearly this place is a must-visit! The staff was friendly and patient, even with our limited Spanish. Just a note: Argentine cheese tends to be softer and fresher than what we're used to, so even if you are not lactose, there's a small chance you maybe here in Argentina.

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.

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.

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!!!

She came back with my chopsticks and spoon along with a bread plate and a tasty pate. I could've eaten more. The food was brought up from the basement kitchen. My bowl was rich with chewy noodles and generous amounts of tender Argentinian beef and spinach. I paid via credit card at my table and there was no surcharge.

The sit down portion was quiet but the counter and stand up dining areas were so busy. I placed my order with the cashier and after paying in pesos got a receipt that had to be handed over at the counter. It was stamped after my request was confirmed. I dined in and a runner went to grab both empanadas on a metal plate. The slice of gallega de atun had to get reheated and was brought back to the ovens. I just stayed at the counter and watched since I had no idea what to expect. It was a little chaotic with so many orders being filled by the large number of staff but they were all over it. The filled plate was eventually handed to me and I grabbed my utensils and found a counter spot. The chicken empanada had a thin crust and a nice savory chicken filling. The meat was shredded. The gallega con atun was much different presentation than I was used to for empanadas. The pie like crust was golden brown and packed with lots of tuna, onions and bell peppers. I liked the little bit sweetness the peppers added. When finished any scraps and paper napkins were thrown into the trash bin under the counter. The plate and utensils were left on the table to be later cleared by the staff. I will definitely eat both styles of empanadas here again.

The fried empanadas are amazing with crust that were rich, buttery and subtly salty. The finely chopped chicken filling was juicy with a balanced flavor that lingered just long enough to make me want another bite. The slices of pizza had thick, "bready" crust with creamy mozzarella. The two Napolitana with fresh tomato slices were juicy, aromatic, and herbaceous. The anchovies and green olives slice was thick and cheesy with a salty, briny Mediterranean flair. Overall, it was a great lunch at a joint that offered excellent service, and great food of good value.

This was my first pizza experience in Buenos Aires and it was definitely a memorable one…read more Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, but there was one employee there who had a decent grasp on the English language and I was able to order take-out without any hitches (aside from momentary confusion as I was leaving and was asked if I would like a "ticket," which I realize now was him asking me I wanted a receipt). The pizza itself was exactly as Argentinian pizza had been described to me - doughy and thick on the cheese, which I found delicious. I ordered a pie with ham and red pepper on top, and I learned that they take toppings on their pizza very seriously here. There was a thick layer of ham covering each slice, which under normal circumstances I wouldn't have found appealing but it had a surprisingly understated taste. Overall I enjoyed my experience, though from seeing other pizza in the area that I have yet to taste I don't think it's quite the best of the best that Buenos Aires has to offer. I'd still recommend it for anyone nearby looking for some authentic Argentine pizza.

The…read moremenu is short and sweet, some basic variations on mozzarella slices or pies with typical toppings - ham or peppers or a combo, the same with versions of fugazzeta, and a few others. Highly recommended were their plain mozzarella (32 pesos) and their fugazzeta (42 pesos), so a slice of each, the latter coming with a slice of ham laid over it, and a slice of fainá (26 pesos), chickpea flatbread. The crust on the plain slice was very soft and doughy - a touch under-cooked, and the cheese was just a melting goo, though at least not particularly oily. The fugazzeta showed better - browned nicely, with a crisp edge and base to the crust, and lightly charred onions atop. The fainá was quite good as well - served hot, and has a good amount of grated cheese on the surface, giving it a really nice flavor. Overall, not bad, though I can't say that I think it's the best pizza in that neighborhood.
