Cilantro/fresh Coriander?

[oamter]

Has anyone found cilantro (fresh coriander) in BA? I need some for a meal on saturday and I seem to only find parsley at my verdulerias...

Anyone seen it at a specific supermarket in barrio chino maybe?

Thanks!

Yep barrio chino is the best bet for coriander.
Sometimes the place on Tucuman y Uriburu has it but its hit and miss.

Most verdularias have cilantro. The one near my old house had it at least 75% of the times I asked for it.

All Boliviano verdulerias will have Cilantro if requested,

No Guacamole without Cilantro...!!

If they have it, they normally keep it in the fridge so you won´t see it. 75% of the vedulurias in San Telmo have it.
You can also special order just about ANYTHiNG if you give them two days notice. I once saw someone order unbrined olives to brine at home--didn´t even kmow that was possible! Any spice, weird vegetable, exotic fruit, nuts. . . they often don´t buy them because there is not enough market, but they do exist.
They of course will only order if you are a customer who has gone there for a bit.

Thats funny most times I ask for it in BA they just look at me as if I've asked them for some rare spice. I must be going to the wrong places.
