Everything was delicious! The empanadas, lentils and locro were so good. Really great place to try a different dishes from Argentina’s cuisine. Also the complimentary bread was amazing. Highly recommend.

Far from the Instagram sphere, because it's one of those places that either doesn't care or doesn't need it, but mostly both, this unpretentious restaurant is, bigger than it appears to be, and absolutely delicious. It serves typical and regional food from Argentina. We started with some empanadas and wine, and I had a huge plate of lentils with beef for main, which were so tasty and incredibly delicious.What are you doing here? Go, go!

The best empanadas I've had in Buenos Aires. And 45 pesos per empanada I consider very good value for money, considering the quality. If you're only going to try one empanada, then go for the empanada con carne. The beef inside the empanada is actually a beef stew, which is stupendously good. Will come back frequently.

Wow, wow, wow! The food is so delicious. I especially loved the locro stew and the lentil stew. The tamales remind of delicious tamales from Mexico and of course their empanadas are very good as well. I’m glad I discovered this hidden gem. I will be back many times!
