    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!

    One of the worst burritos I have ever eaten . The tortilla was cold. The filling was skimpy and…read morecompletely without flavor. The so called salsa picante was not even close to hot. And someone needs to teach them how to fold a burrito. You do not eat a good burrito with a knife and fork. The guacamole belongs in the inside. I don't go back.

    We were wandering down the waterfront of Puerto Madero and the mid-day heat was getting to us…read more Lupita looked like they had a decent menu plus air-conditioning so our choice was made. The g/f ordered the Ensalada de Salmón y Aquacate (Salmon and avocado salad) and I got La Gringa del Patrón (Rib-eye steak with sauteed chorizo, tomato and smoked salsa with melted mozzarella and corn tortilla). Brought chicken salad by mistake, but this was soon corrected. The large salad was mostly lettuce and other fillers (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupita-buenos-aires-2?select=GJ5IZ-zw4YffeogvCrpW0A#653Jx4PS-qdW9QicIJJ1fA). The menu said a "vanilla vinaigrette" but there was no dressing on the salad and bottles of regular vinegar and olive oil were brought with the salad. The salmon that was there was nicely seasoned (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupita-buenos-aires-2?select=GJ5IZ-zw4YffeogvCrpW0A#6VwyrWCWmRK3l4uZmoSjGw). My La Gringa del Patrón was interesting. The dish was listed on both the Main Menu (comes with salad) which said tortilla de maiz (corn) and the Menu del Dia (comes with drink) which said it tortilla de trigo (wheat). I specified the Main Menu item and was expecting something like fajitas with tortillas on the side, but what came was quesadilla-like in a flour tortilla (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupita-buenos-aires-2?select=GJ5IZ-zw4YffeogvCrpW0A#DtqJ-caxSUv4KtD7AiCsYQ). Not sure if there was a typo on the menu or communication problem and I got the Menu del Dia item (as I also didn't get the side salad). Also, not sure the difference between La Gringa and Quesadilla items, which are on the menu in their own section. Anyway, the dish was garnished with a sweet brown sauce and flower petals (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupita-buenos-aires-2?select=GJ5IZ-zw4YffeogvCrpW0A#pDF6D6x7QqAsPkOBmhan6w) The beef was tender and there was not much chorizo (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lupita-buenos-aires-2?select=GJ5IZ-zw4YffeogvCrpW0A#aXh0heszhfBLyrybhnQmrg). We were both satisfied, but not wowed by our dishes.
