These are very classic empanadas. This is very much a no-frills place, but they definitely know…read morewhat they're doing. It's home to some of the cheaper empanadas I've had and the soups they have also look delicious (a meat soup and a corn soup). I came on one of my friend's last nights in Cordoba and we had a variety of empanadas. We all agreed the chicken one was our favorite. The flavor, with a little bit of spice, were perfect. The meat empanada was also good, but I would not recommend the corn and my friends said the ham & cheese was just ok.

This cute little corner spot has a lot of Yelp buzz, so it became a quick and Argentine-early…read moredinner (I'm home by 9). To start, I tried two empanadas. The criollo picante (spicy Creole style beef) wasn't particularly spicy or Creole. Blame Argentinian palates. The arabe (beef, onion, tomato?, spices, served with a lemon) doesn't even look like an empanada, not to mention it's got a lot of appt inside that bready exterior. That one was more consistent in content so I judge it the champion. Then came the locro. It's a bit salty for my taste, and there was more fat than meat. By a landslide. There were also bones. So a minus for meat but a plus for that wonderful choclo. Also, the place is a pretty decent value to fill you up for under $10 with tip (even with a beverage). It's a good stop for a quick bite for any meal of the day.
