This is actually not your typical fast food, it's as close to farm to table as you could get! The owner is incredibly passionate and creative with her dishes, every ingredient is carefully selected and incorporated into the dish to deliver a magical taste. Lunch here is a blend of Ottolengi, Alice Waters, and of course Flor's (the owner) own twist. It's a filling lunch yet light enough that you won't be left in a food coma after. Tita's also has a signature blend mix added to most dishes-- a lovely crunch with turmeric that adds a nice texture to the meal.
The main dishes we tried today were the veal meatballs dusted with a hibiscus pepper and accompanied with pickled bok choy and a tomato confit. She also served her version of the Colombian ajiaco, a thick soup with plenty of chicken, a few strings of pickled onion and a chunk of corn. The soup was topped with a lemon yogurt sauce. Both were so, so good and well balanced.
They also have Giovannoni vermouth as a nice way to finish the meal and wait for desert if you want it. Of course we opted for the desert and it was also a big hit, poached pears with cream, crumble, and fresh peppercorns.
The place is a little hard to find and only open for lunch, it's wedged between Saigon and On Tap Craft Beer. It doesn't have a sign but one might be coming soon! I'll be in BA for a week and will be coming here every day for lunch. This little place is a nice break from the parilla and a delightful experience. Tita's is a must for lunch if you're in Recoleta or Buenos Aires.
