Recommended by Lonely Planet and 9 other food critics.
"This long-running, cozy little joint has some of the cheapest food in Recoleta, attracting both penny-pinching locals and thrifty tourists. Order locro (a spicy stew of maize, beans, beef, pork and sausage)."

Recommendations
"Sanjuanino serves traditional Argentine food from the north, but all you really need to know about it is the following: empanadas, locro, humita, and pinguino (penguin) pitcher of wine. Once you order that, just await the food porn that will be dropped off at the table."

on Empanadas
"All are suitably thin-skinned in the pastry department. Standouts include an oregano-infused mild meat one, the cheese and onion, or a spicy meat one with olives and egg."
on Empanadas
"This inexpensive restaurant is the place to try traditional dishes like locro, as well as more exotic ones."
on Locro
"Tourists from the nearby hotels flock to this Northern Argentine regional spot, but you'll definitely also see lots of locals, particularly at lunchtime. It's cramped, crowded, and kitschy, and in hot weather the roaring wood-fired ovens can make the main floor a bit too toasty (head downstairs, where it's cooler), but it's worth it for the city's best locro."

on Empanadas
"There are hundreds of little empanada shops throughout the city, but this one in Recoleta arguably serves the best and is especially popular for both take out or eating in. Try the spicy beef, creamed corn, or mozzarella with tomato and basil."
