As Lillian C. very eloquently put it, "Casa China is a vegan oasis in the land of meat." As a…read morevegetarian drowning in a meat culture, this is so very true. If you're American, you'll appreciate this place. They have *gasp* pretzels, and OMG salsa. How salsa (the kind that goes with tortilla chips) is not a thing in Argentina, I'll never understand. Little comforts of home. They have plenty of sushi rolls to go, lots of different sauces (Tabasco is like $12) and some fresh-baked cookies that you can buy singularly. I wouldn't call it Whole Foods (Tina & Co around the corner takes the vegan cake for that) but Casa China is definitely a great place to check out no matter who you are or what you're looking for.

(This is actually a review for 'El Puente' located in Av. Corrientes 6001, esquina Humboldt)…read more Even though there's another El Puente a couple of steps away, I had never even thought about going in: there's something about the cramped 'almacén de barrio' style that doesn't appeal to me and I tend to avoid those places in favor of those were I don't have to do much talking in fear of embarrassing myself. That's why this particular supermarket-style El Puente is definitely my favorite. Since they specialize in and make their own dairy products, expect to find tons of different varieties of cheese at really great prices. You can pick the already packaged cuts or ask for something special to the staffers behind the huge blocks of cheese in the counter. Nothing too fancy, though, but it gets the job done. Apart from cheese, they also make their own yogurt, cream and butter. They have a bakery on site with pastries, bread, cakes and cookies as well. The supermarket sells the usual: frozen goods, beverages, snacks, spices, etc. It has pretty much anything a small supermarket can offer, and at a lower price. There's a Dia% and a Carrefour Express nearby, but to me, they can't beat what El Puente has to offer. They accept credit cards.
