My theory is that is difficult for several restaurants to rely solely on expats to survive. One or two, maybe even three, but there just aren't enough expats to support 10 or more restaurants in addition to the ones that they patronize that also cater to locals.
Q: Why do I say that they have to be exclusively expat supported?
A: Because porteños don't like food with flavor. (Funny, sad, and true.)
