Located just a block or so off the main square. The individual empenada ovens are out back lined up like a row of brick beehives on small tables. You'll probably eat at least a dozen or so, and they aren't small these empenadas. After that continue on with a bowl of Locro, a traditional Argentine stew. Unforgettable, this little place.

Literally the best bottle I've ever had-- and it was 110 pesos (~$8). For dinner, we split two dishes: one was a beef filet wrapped in bacon ("Lomo") the other a homemade pasta dish ("Agnolote"). While both were excellent, the pasta was exceptional. Definitely my favorite spot in Tucumán!
