And their lentejas -- plus the funky little jarras de vino. I am partial to pinguinos; if anyone else is, please share names of favorite restaurants with good food, that serve wine in pinguinos?
Sorry Brunette but the best empanadas I've tried are Saltenias from La Zoila (Recoleta, pena y pueyrredon) and Belgrano
The owner is always there (at least in Recoleta) and the staff seems to take pride.
It's just a hole in the wall, but it's super clean, freshly baked, and you can notice they use real ingredients.
Ask for carne muy picante which as explained above, means not spicy at all but just tasty.
