I haven't had the steak at Rodi, but I ate there a number of times and found the food to be mediocre and therefore overpriced. The only thing I liked was the fried brains (a favorite of mine that's difficult to find) but the other things I had were mediocre to bad. I had the costilla de cerdo...

No it's just not true that you can't get a replacement in another country. In fact what you're saying makes no sense: [/font][/color] Think about why this makes no sense. I've gotten replacement cards from USA in other countries and as I said, the AMEX office themselves told me they could do...

I agree with El Estrebe (best mollejas anywhere) but not with Rodi bar or Parilla Pena. The latter has good prices but the meat is tough. So then the prices are not good after all. In Recoleta I recommend Buenos Aires Grill on Santa Fe between Riobamba and Callao I think. The meat there is...

No this is not true, they do send it to other countries (I've gotten replacements in other countries) and they would have even issued it in Argentina a few months ago before new restrictions kicked in. Argentina is the only country I've lived so far where you run the risk of having to spend the...

Best movie of the year (by far) was Nightcrawler but didn't get nominated because it's not sentimental, politically correct, or "feel good" enough for the dumb Oscars.

I just need a one-time transfer. Would like to get $1000 or a bit more (which would be over 10,000 pesos). I hear conflicting things. Some people say you can't get more than 5000 pesos in any single transaction, others say you can't get 10,000 pesos or more in a month without the extra...

So then that means, as I suspect, that receiving $1000 in Argentina is not possible without the complications you mention.

This is troubling, you say something different from jantango just before you. It seems there's no consistency and everyone has a different experience. Sucks. Anyone know if it's much easier to pick it up from Uruguay (in dollars I assume).

I've been looking on the site and was curious to know if Xoom works well. It seems everyone has a different experience. If you stay under the 5000 peso limit, can you just go and pick it up with no problems? This is not a case of bank deposit or of sending money to myself, a friend would be...

Yes I can also have someone from the US just send it to me after accepting it on my behalf. But the point is this is a huge hassle and I'm not in the mood to waste a day waiting in line at Retiro post office. This is all retarded.

lol Kentucky Pizzeria is in on this?

Tammany runs deep in the veins of your people I see. It's nice that people bring up Ellis Island and the Irish as American immigration "success stories." Your people really enriched the USA!

Some of the best meat I've had in Argentina, if not the best.

Just so you know, this is impossible, at least for Amex. They no longer deliver replacements to Argentina, nor can you pick up one from the Amex office. Furthermore the customer service for Amex has declined in quality and they will mislead you (some don't even know where or what Buenos Aires...

I liked Jangada. Now there is no other place that has pacu, the only fish worth eating in Buenos Aires. There is a restaurant called Cholita on Rodriguez Pena between Arenales and Santa Fe, a parilla, and they have pacu, but I don't dare eat it from there. Be careful where you eat fish from...

Ceviche I liked what you said about the walls having ears, so you maybe understand what I'm saying. I have to laugh at the posters here who say they've met Bajo Cero and that therefore I'm wrong. Guys, the fact that you met him proves my point, not yours. What were you expecting a guy wearing a...

I would strongly recommend to people to be wary of accepting a meeting from this very "friendly" character, who is obviously here to keep an eye on expat community and collect information. This goes for you especially Noruega, given your other post. I think Western people don't have a good...

Nope not confused. I'm well aware that law can be used to censor. That's what I'm talking about. You're confused about the meaning of "free speech." Deciding that "racissm" is illegal is no different than deciding that blasphemy is illegal or questioning the govt. is illegal. You're probably...

Noruega you're Norwegian so you know seafood better! If you're happy with what you find here, OK, but I've found the seafood to be consistently poor, little selection and either not fresh or else they have very primitive freezing methods at sea so much of the flavor is taken out of the fish when...

And dearly paid in their country too. As they open their borders and expect "immigrants" to become Scandis in one generation :lol: But Sweden and Norway have criminalized "racism" and also discussion of immigration and prosecute people who complain about it on social media, so I don't know why...
