This is Mexican food, but it's Mexican food for people that think they know what Mexican food…read moreshould taste like. It's not good. The chips in the nachos were stale. They tasted obviously bad. The tortillas were bland. They had no salt, flavor, and too much coarse texture. The meats were all over the place. The carne asada was big but boring. It has no taste. The chicken was fine. I'd eat it again but it needed salsa. Your meats should not need sauce. The al pastor was passable but not correctly made. There was no pineapple marinading the pork on the trompo, and the pork itself was way too moist. The tacos were so oily or wet that they broke the tortillas. You can't eat their tacos without a mess happening. It's a frustrating meal. Mexican food is a celebration of flavor. It's comforting, homey, satisfying, and makes probably the best street food. This restaurant respected none of that. Everything could be improved here.

Stumbled across this place. Apparently opened up late in 2016, it's a tiny little space, with two…read moretables for two, and a few bar stools, mostly being a takeout joint. A short and simple menu - tacos and burritos (chicken or beef), quesadillas (plain or with the fixings), posole, and chilaquiles (also chicken or beef). Run by a couple of women from Morelia, bringing their version of Mexican street food to the streets of BA. Ordered up a couple of chicken and a couple beef tacos (32 pesos each, or 3 for 90). I'd say that these are probably the most authentic street food style tacos I've yet to have in BA. I could happily eat a half a dozen of those for lunch, any day. The hot sauce on the table was pretty mild, more tomato than anything else, and I asked if there was a real hot sauce around, and they brought me a little dish of chile de árbol sauce (rehydrated chiles de árbol blended with a little tomato) that was fiery and perfect. I don't think they expected me to use the whole dish.... They also sell a bunch of Mexican packaged products, including those chilies, that they bring down from Mexico themselves. Decided to give the plain quesadilla a try (30 pesos). Salted mozzarella in a tortilla. I mean, it's fine, and I schmeared it with the last bits of the hot sauce. But I think I'd rather order the "with the works" version, albeit it comes with four quesadillas and is really designed to split, though I suppose you could make a solo lunch out of it. Besides, those tacos.... I was going to call it a lunch when I noticed that they had Mexican hot chocolate on the menu (no desserts available). After asking and finding that yes, it's made using the real Mexican bar chocolate with the almonds and cinnamon and vanilla, I went for a cup. Perfect ending! I will definitely be making this a regular spot to stop in for lunch when over in the area. A couple of days later a friend in San Telmo wanted to grab lunch and I thought, what the heck, let's go back and try more of the menu. He went for the tacos, I decided to try, first, the burritos - two beef ones (also, again, available in chicken). Back with chopped, well browned and seasoned beef, flavorful rice and beans, cheese, guacamole, and more. Like the tacos, these are easily the best burritos I've had in BA. I think they were 90 pesos for two. And, what the heck, try the volcán, a crispy taco (minor disappointment that it wasn't the corn tortilla that was promised, but a flour one, like the others), laden with shredded chicken, onions, guacamole, and salsa. A little pricier than the tacos, coming in at 45 pesos, but it's also twice the filling, at least. All in all, we have a winner for some decent Mexican fare here in town. It's not fancy, it's street food, but it's done right!

Argentina makes some of the greatest steaks on the planet…read more And yet, there are times when nothing is better than an Argentine hot dog. I am not talking about the stupid everyday hot dogs which are called panchos. These are just like hot dogs in America. They depend on what kind of goop you put on top. I am talking about Choripan. If you think about how you eat an Argentine steak (with wine, gusto and reverent appreciation) And how you eat Argentine ice cream (squeals of oooooooh!) Choripan is right in the middle. Half Church of Great Amazingness and Half Little Kid Fun. * * * We don't have Choripan in the US. Choripan is derived from the Spanish-Catalonian hot dog tradition rather than the German frankfurters we eat in America. In a Catalonian hot dog house, you have a choice of 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of hot dogs ... Meaning 8 or 10 or a dozen different kinds of meat or flavoring right in the sausage itself. One sausage might be made with extra liver. One sausage might be made with lots of ground up mushroom. Usually there is a spicy one with Mexican chiles. Nowadays there is a vegetarian one. The sausages all taste dramatically different from each other. Choripans are larger than a traditional frankfurter but smaller than a knockwurst - more like a fatter version of a footlong. They are served on a small submarine roll. In Spain, you get a free choice of toppings. Most Spanish will only put one or at the most two toppings on their dog, Because they do not want to drown out the taste of the meat. Our hot dogs are boring. We put distraction after distraction after distraction on top to make us forget how lousy the base dog is. * * * Chori is widely considered to serve the best choripan in Buenos Aires. Choripan is all they do. There are ten choices of sausage. They are more rigid than the Spanish on toppings. They have figured out what topping goes best on each sausage - and when you order your hot dog, you get the chef's choice of fixings for each one. Believe the house. They know what they are doing. How are their dogs served the way they want to serve them? ABSOLUTAMENTE MAGNIFICOS !!!!!!!!!!!! * * * Special Bonus Section! Not only does Chori make its own hot dogs ... But it also makes its own ketchup. Once you have had Chori's ketchup, You will never be happy with the Heinz-style American ketchup we eat at home. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Argentines have better tomatoes than we do. But that is not the driving factor. They have put something dark and baritone and powerful into their ketchup. My guess is that they use balsamic vinegar rather than white vinegar as the base. However, I also think they have seriously reconsidered the spice mix and the use of sugar in the ketchup. Whatever, their secret is, you absolutely positively must get french fries with your choripan. And yeah, the fries themselves are nothing special. (I have only had really good french fries in one place in Buenos Aires, El Federal in San Telmo.) But Chori's ketchup on even average fries turns the fries into a dish to remember forever. Long after my hot dog was gone, I was eating each french fry one at a time as slowly as I could. The fries had already gotten cold but I didn't care. The ketchup was that good. * * * I don't think they put nuts in the sausages at Chori. But YOU would be nuts not to go to Chori while you are in Buenos Aires. Hey, there are more ways to have fun than just doing the tango!

The name "Taco Box" conjures up the idea of a fast food atmosphere where they give you plastic utensils and wrap your food in tin foil. But this place is actually kinda fancy, they have white linen table cloths and everything. My friend and I ordered nachos and a veggie quesadilla to split. To my pleasant surprise, the food was actually quite good! Tasty with fresh ingredients and nothing you wouldn't expect getting Tex-Mex in the US. I felt like I was home for a little bit there. Only downfall was the margarita. It was my first time ordering a margarita in BsAs so I was excited. The server didn't ask any questions so I assumed it would be the rocks, but it came out frozen. Alright no biggie. Tried it, ehh. Not the same. Hard to explain but the taste was off and unlike any margarita I've tasted before. Still drinkable, but not worth the price. Overall, a pleasant experience and a nice surprise for someone who loves Tex-Mex food. I will definitely return when I feel a hankering for a little piece of home.

We don't mind music, but the speaker was right over our heads & blaring. We asked them to turn it down and they kinda had the attitude of "what, why". The wait stuff spoke enough English, so no communication problem. There was only 1 other couple in the restaurant so, turning down should not have been a problem. We had to ask again!
