Coming from the US, we were in search for a good sandwich. When you visit this place, you won't…read morestruggle to find it. There will be a long line outside. The sandwiches are made to order and the line can be a bit intimidating or overwhelming, but they are so quick, you will be in and out in less than 10 minutes. They have a wide array of sandwiches but the milanesa is the way to go. You get a big portioned sandwich, on fresh bread, we got two big sandwiches with all of the recommended fixings. We got two drinks and two waters - all for less than 13 USD. We couldn't believe it. This meal in the states would've easily been $35 and the quality would not have been as good. Most people here take their sandwiches to go, but they have a little sitting area upstairs if you want to eat it fresh there! Sandwiches were so big I could not finish mine. One of our favorite sandwiches in all of Argentina on our visit!

Yet another win in the neighborhood…read more My area, in between Lacroze and, say, Virrey Arredondo and Moldes and Cabildo can be pretty sparse in the way of cafes/restos. With the opening of Ficatola we definitely have a solid player that fills this hole, made obvious by the number of neighbors that flock to this place. In a relative desert it's just about one of the only things we have around! Think neighborhood resto with semi-modern cafe fare that range from sandwiches to mains. Head here for a coffee, lunch, merienda, dinner and you'll be pretty satisfied. The only thing: beware of annoyingly slow service...until they hire another waiter. The menu has a slight italian twist, made most obvious by the addition of foccacia to the (delish) bread basket. I haven't been to anything but lunch, but I have to say the baked goods surprise. What's even more attractive is the little attached bakery where you can buy the foccacia, along with other breads, some stuffed with sundried tomatoes and olives, some covered in cinnamon and sugar. After a recent trip dictated exclusively by my sweet too I returned home with both a medialuna and a cinnamon twist (the guy at the counter was nice enough to gift me the cinnamon one so I could try it!). Both were delicious, doughy and massive -- appropriate for the 9 peso price tag. Take a pit stop and try out Ficatola. It's got it goin' on.
