An Overwhelming Guide to New Restaurants, Cafés, and Bars in Buenos Aires for 2020

Hey strangers! It’s been a while, but I’m coming back to my roots, baby! I started this little food blog at the end of 2009 as a way to share some of my favorite edible discoveries in Argentina, a time when it wasn’t so easy to find out about delicious things to eat and the stories behind them.

The Mexican Tortilla Goddess Who Makes Real Corn Tortillas

I have searched far and wide for real Mexican corn tortillas in Buenos Aires for many years. It has been a long and bumpy rapidita road, but I think I finally found what I was looking for. Whenever I return to BA after a visit to the States, that food homesick feeling kicks in. I try to […]

Buenos Aires Hit List: A Recap of New Restaurants in 2016

There’s never been a shortage of places to dine in Buenos Aires, but really memorable food experiences didn’t happen every day. Until now, that is. As we approach BA’s restaurant golden era, we can see that new and exciting spots are no longer the exception to the parrilla-pasta-pizza-Palermo rule. Instead, innovative newcomers are popping up in every barrio, […]

The Slurping Ramen Rundown

The long night has come and a steaming bowl of ramen comes with it. Ramen has always existed in BA but it seems like in the past year food obsessors have gone totally loco for ramen. And that’s a really good thing because a life without ramen is no life at all. The Japanese soup with Chinese-style noodles, powerful bone broth, […]

A Totally Biased Guide to the Best Pizza in Buenos Aires

 “YANQUI DE MIERDA GO HOME! VOLVETE AL PAIS DE LOS OBESOS MORBIDOS!!!!!” That was the all caps lock love letter I received a few years ago after mentioning I wasn’t fond of Argentine pizza. Note to self: if you fuck with Argies and their pizza, they take it personally and may threaten your life. Sorry Porteños, you will […]

Burgers Are the New Black

Burgers are so much more than the latest food trend, it’s a lifestyle choice. It’s scientifically proven that people are instantly happier while eating an awesome burger, so imagine the edible anti-depressant delight to see the hamburger party train finally make its way to Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires, burgers are the new black. Following in […]

The Modern Manduque Porteño: Astor

November 2015 – ASTOR IS CLOSED, ANTICIPATED TO RE-OPEN IN SAN TELMO A wonderful welcome to the restaurant community, after just one visit I already knew Astor would become my top pick for best new spot in 2013 for the following reasons: creative cooking + great ingredients + interesting flavors + inviting atmosphere + classic porteño decor presented in a fresh way + buena […]

I Got 99 Problems But A Café Ain’t One: The Best Coffee in Buenos Aires

The coffee revolution in Buenos Aires is here. For a city with such a vibrant café-going culture, it’s too easy to find a shitty cup of coffee. Poor quality beans are most likely sugar roasted, and made in a machine that hasn’t been cleaned since 1998. But no longer are the days when coffee snobs aficionados are forced to […]

The Lucky Chino: Best Chinese Restaurants in Buenos Aires

It’s time we all toss aside ground beef empanada filled “spring rolls” with fluorescent pink sweet and sour sweet sauce, say chau-chau to chaw fan, put down the fork, pick up some chopsticks, and tuck into a world of Chinese cuisine. Here are my top picks for the best Chinese food in Buenos Aires.

La Más Querida: A beloved pizza a la parrilla love story

UPDATE June 2016: La Mas Querida now has a new Palermo Hollywood location –> Carranza 1875.  It’s only natural for Argentina’s favorite cooking contraption to mate with the number one fast food to form an illegitimate food baby. Some would say it’s the antithesis of what porteño pizza is all about, and maybe that’s why I love […]
