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.

On our last day in Buenos Aires we decided to have a late lunch before our flight and with many…read morerestaurants closed between lunch and dinner, we discovered this restaurant which was open. 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 best part is that this is a locals restaurant, and it has such a great feel. The minute you walk inm you are welcomed by a friendly staff and led to a table, we chose upstairs and were quickly seated. Our waiter was friendly and jovial, and spoke great english. He recommended a Malbec, and then we ordered a bunch of food, which came quickly. As we dined, the placed filled up quickly, and looking around, there was not an empty table in the place- upstairs or down. The restaurnat has an Italian family feel, white table cloths and worn, but classy china. Plus the grill is amazing. Overall, this place is excellent, and a local friend who I dined with said he will be making this place one of his regular stops!

The portions here are massive. And that's coming from someone who can usually put away a pretty serious steak. Here, though It's a lot even for me. Was it good Absolutely. But a little heads-up if you're visiting: learn how Argentinians order their meat. If you ask for jugoso, it'll land somewhere between rare and medium rare. Al punto is closer to medium, sometimes even leaning toward medium well depending on the kitchen. And well done. Honestly... don't even think about it. Another tip: don't rush to order sides. Unless you're just getting a salad or you're sharing with more than two people, one plate is usually more than enough. Around here, they believe in feeding you properly and they definitely deliver.

We ordered a few starters, including empanadas, a stuffed tomato, and deep-fried mozzarella sticks. The empanadas were decent but nothing memorable. The stuffed tomato was very basic, and the mozzarella sticks were huge but had an odd flavor to the point that none of us ate them. The plates were cleared without any comment, which felt a bit inattentive. Service was fine overall, but since this was a recommended stop for empanadas, it ended up being a letdown and not somewhere I'd return.

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.

Happily, it was just a block and half walk from our hotel. This was our third night and we were going to take advantage of the Argentina beef. The prior evening had also been at a steakhouse (There is another review for that one.) This place was amazing and we had relatively early reservations for BA. We showed up at 7 and by 8:30 the place was packed and people were going to the upstairs dinign area. This is a beautiful restaurant with an incredible aura about it. Easy to tell who the regulars were as they were called by first name. We tried to chnage up our appitizers from the first night.

The steak was perfect, the trout a bit overcooked. I finally figured out how to say medium rare in Argentine Spanish. "Jugoso." Juicy. And we had a penguin of wine. It's pretty standard in BA steakhouses to serve wine in penguin-shaped pitchers. A big penguin is 1 liter, a small penguin is 0.5 liters. Apparently the penguin is a throw back to the time when all Argentine wine came in bulk and had to be served in a pitcher. I have no idea why it's a penguin instead of another shape.

They have a bunch, but they are all hanging out chatting by the grill and will NOT LOOK AT TABLES... very hard to wave them down, it's ridiculous. Also they straight up won't tell you important details with regard to "how do you wish to pay " because they say "I'm used to the regulars"... Such as you could have saved 10% (I'm sure the owners incentivize it for a reason, but the wait staff is just not into it.... I think wait staff world like an avg of 3 mo. I've seen.

Oh.. and it gets hot by the grill, they dummies also keep their wine near there so don't be surprised if it's warm. Make sure to taste it before your server leaves in case it bad or you might have to get up to tell them since once they serve you it's good bye I like the establishment, but theirs service has been this bad since I started going over 18yrs ago -- MANAGEMENT, get your act together!!!
