Food Hoppin’ in Rosario, eh!!!…

Pancho Boy meet Pancho Girl

Many travelers visiting a new place for a short period of time feel the overwhelming necessity to follow a Nazi-like schedule, ticking off all of the major (and minor) tourist attractions from an uninformed guidebook. Personally, I prefer to engage in my favorite traveling (and non-traveling) pastime: Restaurant Hopping.

A cheap girl’s nostalgia: Rosario’s café prices = Buenos Aires circa 2006

Unlike my usual pre-traveling extensive restaurant investigations, my last minute getaway to Rosario left little time to fully prep, resulting in a weekend filled with the usual cast of I-don’t-know-where-to-eat characters: papas fritas, cerveza, pizza, panchos, medialunas and lomo sandwiches.

Kick-ass Lomito at Rosario VIP Bar & Resto: Fried egg, panceta, melted cheese, morrones, crispy fries.

Is this not the MOST Argie desayuno you ever did see?: Tostados de jamon y queso, café cortado, medialunas, exprimido naranja, agua con gas at El Cairo

Equivalent to Jumbo-quality pizza topped with Eki brand-quality jamon.

Mattress.

Luckily, I received these recommendations AFTER I already left…
