It's been interesting tasting Argentina's interpretation of Mexican food. Though they are usually…read moreoff, they always redeem themselves with their meat. This review is based off the tacos I ordered. I ordered tacos de carne asada. The flavor in the taco was delicious. I don't think Argentia is capable of producing bad meat. The tortilla however, it was a sorry crumbly mess that was smothered in a load of melted cheese. Why do they put melted cheese in everything? There was also very very very little salsa and cilantro on the taco. They did however have a tiny side of black beans and guacamole you can add to your taco which helps bring that freshness I crave. Not the tacos that I'm used to back in California or what my Mexican mom makes me but it's okay if you're craving something a little different from the regular fast food here.

I saw a strange drink in the cabinet and I enquired about it, it was a herbal drink very similar to fernet. Within 5 min I had a taste of it at my table. So excellent initiative.

Stumbled across this place. Apparently opened up late in 2016, it's a tiny little space, with two…read moretables for two, and a few bar stools, mostly being a takeout joint. A short and simple menu - tacos and burritos (chicken or beef), quesadillas (plain or with the fixings), posole, and chilaquiles (also chicken or beef). Run by a couple of women from Morelia, bringing their version of Mexican street food to the streets of BA. Ordered up a couple of chicken and a couple beef tacos (32 pesos each, or 3 for 90). I'd say that these are probably the most authentic street food style tacos I've yet to have in BA. I could happily eat a half a dozen of those for lunch, any day. The hot sauce on the table was pretty mild, more tomato than anything else, and I asked if there was a real hot sauce around, and they brought me a little dish of chile de árbol sauce (rehydrated chiles de árbol blended with a little tomato) that was fiery and perfect. I don't think they expected me to use the whole dish.... They also sell a bunch of Mexican packaged products, including those chilies, that they bring down from Mexico themselves. Decided to give the plain quesadilla a try (30 pesos). Salted mozzarella in a tortilla. I mean, it's fine, and I schmeared it with the last bits of the hot sauce. But I think I'd rather order the "with the works" version, albeit it comes with four quesadillas and is really designed to split, though I suppose you could make a solo lunch out of it. Besides, those tacos.... I was going to call it a lunch when I noticed that they had Mexican hot chocolate on the menu (no desserts available). After asking and finding that yes, it's made using the real Mexican bar chocolate with the almonds and cinnamon and vanilla, I went for a cup. Perfect ending! I will definitely be making this a regular spot to stop in for lunch when over in the area. A couple of days later a friend in San Telmo wanted to grab lunch and I thought, what the heck, let's go back and try more of the menu. He went for the tacos, I decided to try, first, the burritos - two beef ones (also, again, available in chicken). Back with chopped, well browned and seasoned beef, flavorful rice and beans, cheese, guacamole, and more. Like the tacos, these are easily the best burritos I've had in BA. I think they were 90 pesos for two. And, what the heck, try the volcán, a crispy taco (minor disappointment that it wasn't the corn tortilla that was promised, but a flour one, like the others), laden with shredded chicken, onions, guacamole, and salsa. A little pricier than the tacos, coming in at 45 pesos, but it's also twice the filling, at least. All in all, we have a winner for some decent Mexican fare here in town. It's not fancy, it's street food, but it's done right!

Having tried a trio of fillings with a couple of friends we're impressed with the flavors. Not so much with the speed of the kitchen - an order of two portions of arepas and one of tacos took 50 minutes to arrive at the table. We'd arrived at the time the restaurant opened, and it seemed, so had the trio of partners, and they simply hadn't made either of the doughs before opening, so they were literally measuring, mixing, forming, and cooking while customers waited. They also didn't have any of the menu-offered craft beer (from Dust) available, nor one of the three housemade juice blends (and having had two glasses of their orange and rosemary blend, it was different one after the other, the first time having been blended with still mineral water, the second time, fizzy with sparkling.

They also bring an assortment of different salsas: guacamole, pico de gallo, sour cream and picante.

The soft drinks are not cold and they don't accept cards but what really brings the score down is the tortillas. The wheat tortillas are very dry and taste a lot of flour. The corn tortillas are even worse, very thick and with an unpleasant smell - not at all like the thin, bright yellow corn tortillas that i like. Even with the bad tortillas this is one of the best mexican restaurants in BA that i have tried, and i have tried a few. It is not nearly as good as the fast food texmex shops in Europe but good enough.
