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.

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)

I don't recall who recommended this place, or maybe it was just that it came up because of a little…read moretwist. There's a small chain of stores here called CeliGourmet, that offers up gluten free (there's the "celi", for coeliac) breads and pastries. And, awhile back, they opened up a restaurant, offering dishes made with their gluten free products, called La Pastroneria, El Salvador 6026, Palermo. Given the name, it's not surprising that their focus is kinda sorta on pastrami, or pastrón, as it's called here. Now, with three of us at the table, there were a few options - in addition to a few sandwiches (two sizes of pastrami, chicken, smoked salmon, veggie), there are also pizzas on the menu. We decided to stick with sandwiches, and order up a large of their pastrami, since that's their claim to fame, and a regular smoked salmon, and just share them around the table. Let's dissect once again.... The bread on the sandwiches is touted as their gluten free pletzlach (a flattened bread roll topped with poppyseeds and onions). There are no other options. It's dense and crumbly, and completely flavorless. Seriously, there's supermarket grade gluten free bread that's better than this. The smoked salmon is fine. The pastrami, is not. I'm not sure I even want to guess how they made it - it's certainly not smoked nor spiced. Maybe just brined and then slow cooked until it's a stringy, dried out, and once again flavorless, slab. Kind of like an overcooked pot roast. The sandwiches and platters (which are the same offerings as the sandwiches, just without bread), all come with the exact same accompaniments - pickles, coleslaw, and baked potato. On the pastrami we got a few pickles, and some lettuce and tomato. On the salmon we got a ramekin of cream cheese, and some lettuce and tomato. No coleslaw in the house, they simply hadn't made any. I mean, there's really just one side that's on everything on the entire menu, and you haven't made any of it? Sure there was the baked potato, topped with no, not sour cream as claimed, but just whipped cream cheese - probably something commercial like Casa 'n Crema or Mendicrim. I don't recall the exact prices - I think the large pastrami was something like 270 pesos, the regular salmon, about 220. But, a pass all around.

Beyond grabbing a loaf, we got a sandwich (the braised pork shoulder) and it was good but I felt like there was something missing! Maybe a crunch or something acidic or salty? The bread was also starting to disintegrate because the meat was wet which made it quite messy. Overall it was a decent sandwich tho!
