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
Eat, Drink, and Eat Some More: The Restaurant Rundown of 2017
If you asked me to describe the 2017 BA food scene in a few words my answer would be simple: beer bars, burger bars, craft beers eating burgers, and burger bars drinking craft beers. But looking at it closely, 2017 saw exciting new spots beyond the B&B craze. A few months ago I wrote about the 15 hottest new Buenos […]
Budget Buenos Aires: Where to Eat Cheap in BA
Buenos Aires is no longer the budget destination of $5 dollar steak dinners. Dining out isn’t cheap, but you don’t need to drop all of your Julio Rocas to eat well because great deals do exist. Back in 2013, I wrote a guide to the best Buenos Aires restaurants for cheap (and broke) bastards. But with […]
The Empanada Quest: El Banco Rojo
I’m going on another empanada quest, a search across the country to find the best empanadas Argentina has to offer. Even though empanadas are everywhere, it’s not easy to find that perfect empanada. I’m talking flavorful dough, folded thoughtfully with a respectable repulgue, and baked or fried until golden brown. It’s the kind of empanada crammed with such delicious […]
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, […]
Inside Barrio Boliviano: A Food Tour of Mercado Andino de Liniers
Move over Barrio Chino, because the Bolivian market in Liniers is where it’s at. On the first blocks of José León Suárez, between Ibarrola and Ramón L. Falcón, steps away from Rivadavia 11500 and the Liniers train station, a little piece of Bolivia emerges. With that latin street food smell and bustle, colorful Andean tubers, tropical fruits, exotic herbs, […]
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, […]
Five Great Places to Eat in Mexico City
La Ciudad de Mexico is one of the most food-centric cities I’ve ever visited. Everywhere you look, at any time of night or day, there’s a food stall, great restaurant, incredible market, fonda-in-the-wall, or killer street cart just waiting for you to stuff your hungry face with their delicious edibles. I keep having intense food flashbacks: tacos, elotes, tamales, […]
A Ceviche Party at La Mar
La Mar Buenos Aires was probably one of the most anticipated restaurant openings in 2015, and a year later, this Peruvian cebichería is still a hit. Many were skeptical that the seafood-centric spot wouldn’t be so hot in Argentina’s not-so-seafood friendly capital city, but Gastón Acurio and his crew have yet again managed to win over our hearts […]
