The mondongo was our family favorite--this is some of the best soup I have ever had--super comforting and absolutely bursting with flavor, and the tripe pieces were so tender. Every dish here was tasty though, and this was one of my top restaurants of our vacation.

If I'd reviewed El Sanjuanino after my first visit it would have been a 5-star review. Simply put,…read moreanytime I get a bowl of melted cheese the stars ensue automatically. Here in Buenos Aires, the melted cheese dish is known as provoleta and if your sensibilities mirror mine I'd suggest getting it wherever and whenever you see it on a menu. No exception here. I came back a second time with a smaller group and really couldn't justify provoleta for my party of 2 simply because I knew I'd consume it all. So my second visit, while very good indeed, allowed me to focus on parts of the menu that I'd enjoyed previously while not over-filling myself on provoleta. What that looked like was this: Multiple versions of empanadas, Choripán (basically a sausage sandwich), and flan, all accompanied by beer and wine and all enjoyed at a very reasonable price. TripAdvisor guests rate El Sanjuanino very high as do I. I have a hunch it'd be the place I'd return to repeatedly each time I found myself in Recoleta. It's casual and delicious - especially the provoleta - attracting both Argentinians and in-the-know travelers. You'd be wise to count yourself amongst them.

But hey, if you come here you mainly come for empanadas!! And those are great! I tried both fried and baked, and I liked them both. Service was very nice and fun, we felt very welcome and cared for. We ate outside, and it was very pleasant, so I can't really say something about the ambience inside.

The Location: It is located in Palermo soho, near the corner of Jorge Luis Borges and Paraguay. The…read morelocation is relatively safe, and it is a touristy area. The People: Good staff. The Food: - Jamón y queso (Ham and Cheese) : A really good empanada. This one I recommend trying--the ham-to-cheese ratio is phenomenal. - Jamón, queso, tomate (Ham, Cheese, and Tomato) [#1 recommendation]: This one was my favorite empanada in this place so far. A must try. If you like ham and cheese and only want to try one empanada, make sure it is this one. The ham-and-cheese one is good but the this one (with the added tomato flavor) makes it delicious. - Carne suave (Smooth Meat): A good empanada to eat. Neither bad nor out of the ordinary. - Carne Cümen-Cümen (Cümen Meat): If you want to try a meat empanada that tastes differently than other typical meat empanadas, I would try this one. It was decent, but certainly different than the standard meat ones. - Carne cortada a cuchillo (Cut Meat) [#2 recommendation]: Of the meat selections in this review, I would say my favorite (or the one I would buy if I had only the choice to buy one meat empanada) is this one. Similar to how they cut the meat "al pastor" in the United Sates or Mexico. Good choice. Pollo (Chicken) [#3 recommendation]: It was good. Of the empanada flavors talked to above, this one would be one of three that I would probably buy again. Good flavor. The Venue: They have (as shown in the pictures I have provided here) enough seating indoors for about 10 people to eat. However, this is more of a take-out delivery place. I ordered my empanadas to-go. But if you are in a group of four people and want to eat-in, I am sure that works out too. They have some special offers but only if you buy a significant amount of empanadas. Upshot: A really solid place to grab some empanadas in Palermo soho. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ La ubicación: se encuentra en Palermo Soho, cerca de la esquina de Jorge Luis Borges y Paraguay. La ubicación es relativamente segura, y es una zona turística. La gente: buen personal. Los alimentos: - Jamón y queso: una muy buena empanada. Recomiendo probar este: la proporción de jamón a queso es fenomenal. - Jamón, queso, tomate [#1 recomendacion]: esta fue mi empanada favorita en este lugar hasta ahora. Hay que probarlo. Si te gusta el jamón y el queso y solo quieres probar una empanada, asegúrate de que sea esta. El jamón y queso es bueno, pero este (con el sabor de tomate agregado) lo hace delicioso. - Carne suave: una buena empanada para comer. Ni malo ni fuera de lo común. - Carne Cümen-Cümen: si desea probar una empanada de carne que tiene un sabor diferente a otras empanadas de carne típicas, probaría esta. Era decente, pero ciertamente diferente de los estándar de carne. - Carne cortada a cuchillo [#2 recomendacion]: De las selecciones de carne en esta revisión, diría que mi favorita (o la que compraría si solo tuviera la opción de comprar una empanada de carne) es esta. Similar a cómo cortaron la carne "al pastor" en los Estados Unidos o México. Buena elección. Pollo [#3 recomendacion]: estaba bueno. De los sabores de empanada mencionados anteriormente, este sería uno de los tres que probablemente compraría nuevamente. Buen sabor. El lugar: tienen (como se muestra en las fotos que he proporcionado aquí) suficientes asientos en el interior para que coman unas 10 personas. Sin embargo, este es más un lugar de entrega de comida para llevar. Pedí mis empanadas para llevar. Pero si usted está en un grupo de cuatro personas y quiere comer, estoy seguro de que eso también funciona. Tienen algunas ofertas especiales, pero solo si compra una cantidad significativa de empanadas. Resumen: Un lugar realmente sólido para tomar algunas empanadas en Palermo Soho.
