Okay so someone today posted a link to this blog. Very first time I had heard of it. GREAT BLOG !!!!!.
http://pickuptheforkbuenosaires.wordpress.com/
I read through the first 4-5 pages and just had to try a couple places on there. This blog is a must for any expats interested in taking little eating excursions around the city.
So anyway. I decided to try BeFrika and Muma's Cupcakes.

http://mumascupcakes.com/
Nice websites but the music if f***king annoying. Mute that ish.
We hit Muma's first, the place was pretty packed, half expat girls and half argie girls
lol
The people behind the register speak perfect english. I got 8 cupcakes to go. They packaged them up in a nice box for me and sent me on my way within 5 minutes. Total cost was $ 80 pesos. So just about $ 10 pesos or $ 2.50 USD per cupcake. Well worth it in my opinion as the cupcakes were delicious ( Yes I stuffed my face with 4 cupcakes
). And i'm pretty sure there isn't another shop like this in Buenos Aires, at least that I know of.
Next we hit BeFrika. There were a few customers in there, a couple expat girls and a couple locals. I had a box full of cupcakes so we decided to get take out again.
I ordered the Honolulu Burgers and my friend had the Franky and Johnny Burgers. It took about 15 minutes to get our order out. They had wifi so I got a little work done answering emails while I waited. The people behind the register spoke perfect English and everyone was very polite and efficient ( yes I said efficient, yes im talking about a restaurant in Buenos Aires, and no im not high, well maybe just a little. j/k ). Total for four mini burgers and 2 orders of fries was $ 79 pesos, or $ 20 USD. A little pricey for BA standards but worth it in my opinion.
The Honolulu burgers were a little plain so I added some Santa Maria style BBQ sauce I brought from California. Not fully convinced, will try something different next time. My friends Franky and Johnny burgers were great ( I pilfered one of theirs because I'm a fast eater and they are not
). I would order it again. And probably will.
Total damage for everything was about $ 40 bucks. Well worth it and basically I feel like a fat ass right now
The blog is great, I can't wait to try a few more suggestions I've stickied into my Android browser.
CHECK IT OUT ! YOU'LL MOST DEFINITELY HAVE FUN.
