Puerto Madero

My favorite place for Argentine food. Great service, better than El Gaucho. Same food but the guy at the counter is quite impolite and moody. He never smiles to customers. Not in the last 24 years.

Why have you been hidden from me for so long!?! And yet, I want to keep this place unchanged and just the way it is ... Authentic, delicious Argentinian fare for reasonable prices.

Sanduche de Lomito with spicy chimichurri…..delicious!!!! Always hits the spot!! Freshly made, always cooked to perfection. I forgot to add, the location looks a little sketchy. Windows are boarded up, but, don’t be afraid. Walk inside and you’ll see a small market filled with Colombian, Peruvian, and Argentinian imported food products and the small restaurant to the side.

🇦🇷 ARGENTINA 🇺🇾 URUGUAY Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: Puerto Madero presents itself as a mercado latino & carniceria, and delivers on both. There are shelves organized by country with products from Colombia, Spain, and of course Argentina, among others. In the back a small meat market has the many cuts of cow and sausages necessary to make your very own home parrillada. One shelf is entirely devoted to different types of yerba mate, the strong preference of most in Argentina for their caffeinated morning beverage. In the back a few cases display freshly baked breads and sweets. At the top of the sandwich list is a slightly odd choice for an Argentinean market. The chivito ($9.99, above and below) is the unmistakable national dish of Uruguay, an always impressive stack of foods

I'm so glad that, as an Argentine-American, I was able to find this place! Also, the sandwiches de miga are so good, plus I was actually able to find dulce de membrillo/batata!!
