My friends and I were lazy and hungry when I found found kotobuki on Yelp, and as we had been…read morecraving sushi for weeks now, we decided to treat ourselves. The relatively cheap prices made the decision all the more easy. Eagerly we opened the elegant boxes and were surprised by the quality of the food: delicious!! We ordered a variety of boxes for three people and still have plenty to share. The seafood tasted fresh though the tuna was what seemed like from a can. Plus points for punctuality!

THESE EMPANADAS ARE SO GOOD YOU WILL CRY TEARS OF JOY…read more I'm not joking, I'm in love with these empanadas. They're delicious. 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.

This was the best empanada show in Buenos Aires. They were selling each one for 11 pesos. Seriously…read moreyou can't beat this deal. My friend and I went to town on the food here and we even for the mediluans (mini croissants). These were sweet, flakey, and soft and we killed like 4 of them. This is one place I will definitely come back to next time I'm in BA.

Excellent fresh pasta place. We loved it so much we returned 3 times. We made a delightful…read moreChristmas Eve dinner and Christmas day lunch with their pasta and sauce. On our third visit, we got the tiramisu and it was amazing. The empanadas were pretty good as well. Great place - enjoyed cooking it at home with a nice bottle of wine.

And after my second attempt I was beginning to think it would be impossible to find until I found Toto. They put plenty of lettuce and tomatoes to give it that juicy fresh flavor. I never thought I'd be so excited for lettuce and tomato! But lawd its a blessing.

Aside from the next morning's scrappy breakfast of bread, dulce de leche, and a last hurrah of ice cream, this was my last meal on Argentinian soil! It was appropriate. I hadn't had ground beef in months and ordered a burger. Couldn't believe the size of it! There are some cheap eats in Buenos Aires if you care to look, but by weight this was probably the cheapest thing I ate my entire time in the country. And it was perfectly juicy, and messy, and delicious. For a few pesos more, add an egg to your sandwich for an even heftier meal. Save a couple pesos by opting out of the soda included with each meal; otherwise you'll have to request it specifically from the guys in the little kitchen, who will pour Coca Cola from the 1.25L bottle bottle into a plastic cup. Wouldn't it be cheaper to get a soda machine? Ah, Argentine economics. Worth a visit? At least one. As far as fast food shacks that are open 24 hours in BA, this is probably the tastiest.

Excellent. Wide variety of fresh fish and cooked seafood and prices are competitive. Highly…read morerecommended.

It's the best way to order by the slice, soak in that classic pizzeria energy, and mingle with the crowd. We stood at the counter and tried the Mozzarella and the Fugazzeta. As a New Yorker who swears by thin crust, this thick, airy, Sicilian-style like pizza is a totally different beast, but I definitely understand the appeal. The Fugazzeta was a completely new experience for me. It's essentially a heavy base of dough and infused cheese buried under a massive layer of onions. It's rich and delicious, but the classic Mozzarella slice ended up being my favorite, perfectly balancing salty cheese with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Come hungry because this pizza is no joke; it is very heavy, and two slices will easily fill you up. Overall, it's a solid spot worth visiting to experience a local staple, but don't expect a life-changing slice.

Glad I tried Argentine pizza, but to be honest, it's not for me. Guerrin came highly recommended…read more It reminded me of a deconstructed Chicago style deep dish pizza. We ordered the classic. One thing that was obvious, very little crisp. The ham, and onion combo was interesting, the caramelized onions were the highlight of the bite. Overall, not a fan but to each his own.
