My favorite was the carne empenadas. 1810 has 2 stews under the comidas tipicas section and I tried the Loero, wowsers! The stew is hearty with lots of carne and garbanzo beans with thick and tasty broth. The portion is fairly large, best to share. There's not a lot of seating inside this restaurant, not good for large groups. Many locals did take out. Service was good. They only have 1-2 English menus and the rest in Spanish. The servers speak basic English. Prices won't break the bank either. Hope to visit again someday! #38/2018

If I'd reviewed El Sanjuanino after my first visit it would have been a 5-star review. Simply put,…read moreanytime I get a bowl of melted cheese the stars ensue automatically. Here in Buenos Aires, the melted cheese dish is known as provoleta and if your sensibilities mirror mine I'd suggest getting it wherever and whenever you see it on a menu. No exception here. I came back a second time with a smaller group and really couldn't justify provoleta for my party of 2 simply because I knew I'd consume it all. So my second visit, while very good indeed, allowed me to focus on parts of the menu that I'd enjoyed previously while not over-filling myself on provoleta. What that looked like was this: Multiple versions of empanadas, Choripán (basically a sausage sandwich), and flan, all accompanied by beer and wine and all enjoyed at a very reasonable price. TripAdvisor guests rate El Sanjuanino very high as do I. I have a hunch it'd be the place I'd return to repeatedly each time I found myself in Recoleta. It's casual and delicious - especially the provoleta - attracting both Argentinians and in-the-know travelers. You'd be wise to count yourself amongst them.

There are definitely far, far better places with this price range. And this place has either changed cooks, or my taste buds just don't match the people who raved about this place.

Cumaná features a menu so expansive and diverse that dining here sparked excitement. That and the…read morerestaurant's cute cat, who roams the floor, utterly content. The menu is all over the map - with something for everyone - but the things I focused on over 2 visits were traditional offerings and a sweet potato dish that might not be traditional but ought to be. On my first visit I tried a traditional Argentinan stew called Locro. Baked in a clay oven and served piping hot, Locro featured white corn, beans, squash, and meat. I was enjoying it well enough until the sweet potato dish arrived at which point all bets were off; that dish got all of my attention. The menu features a "wood-fired potato and sweet potato" category and it was from that small offering that I'd opted for the sweet potato topped with creamed corn, honey, and walnuts. During my first visit - and even on the return visit - I'd have sworn this dish was covered in melted cheese. It was not. But the combination of flavors and textures was so immensely satisfying that I couldn't wait for a do-over. During my second visit I again ordered the amazing sweet potato (and a Northern-Style Tamale, a bottle of wine, and flan). Everything was, again, quite delicious but that sweet potato? It was fabulous and one of my top flavor sensations in a month of travel. Cumaná serves immensely satisfying food that differs from what you find elsewhere. You can go with pizzas and pastas but why, when the menu is filled with gems rarely found elsewhere. And as for that sweet potato? I never saw anything like it on any other menu. Miss it at your own peril.

What an amazing find. I started with a ham&cheese Empanada, and for my main dish the spinach cannelloni. It was delicious!!! Filled with flavor that I could not stop eating. My father, who lives in Buenos Aires ordered the Locro which I had to try and once again, delicious (but a little spicy so you know). My wife ordered the mondongo, which she really liked. My son ordered the chicken quesadilla which he enjoyed and my daughter ordered the potato gnocchi which I did try, because it's hard to find a place that makes good gnocchi, and they did. They were very flavorful!! The service was great. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. The place is very nice inside but a bit dark, but it was also a cloudy day with rain which didn't help. My father was so happy we brought him there so now he has a new place to eat and bring friends to try the food. My only complaint may be the bread they served the table. It was hard to eat it with butter because it kept crumbling, but don't eat too much bread, because the portions are big and you will want to eat every bit like I did. Enjoy!!!

The standout was the lemon sauce over the tortellini: perfectly balanced, bright, and simply flawless. A genuine 1-of-1.

The first time I went to dine in I was told there was no tables and had to wait which is normal for a late night but then a group of four people arrived and were seated right away. This baffled me but I just waited patiently until the same guy that seated the group told me he had space at the terrace but it was a bit chilly. My server for the night was nice and friendly. The second time I attended was this morning. I wanted to get a quick bite to eat and some coffee. Again, went in and was completely ignored by the lady that was at the entrance which greeted a couple that got there right before me. I had to ask if it was okay for me to seat and they scolded me for asking where after they already said I could seat anywhere. I ordered my food and left with the feeling that they seemed to be annoyed and that's a weird way to treat a paying costumer. Anyway, food was good.
