Order at least two or three of the delicious empanadas per person; they are on the smaller size than some of the mammoth hand pies you see around town .

Best empanadas in the city !!! I tried spicy beef , chicken and veggie - hard to pick a favorite I almost ordered seconds - ????????????

You can taste your way through several variations of empañadas (including our favorite, humita, with creamy corn baked into a crisped salty-sweet crust) at this quirky joint. Read more

Amazing empanadas , good steaks , great service, very authentic ambiance. Try matambre as a starter, it is delicious. A must visit Argentinian restaurant in Buenos Aires.

I think Time Out should review the ratings here. Its far away from being one of the best empanadas in BA. Btw I ordered cheese and onion , where were the onions ? Carne picante was just OK.Terrible wine

Really fair prices for good and local handmade empanadas ! Try their wine too! Oh, the decoration downstairs reminds me old medieval pubs !

The jamon y queso and carne picante empanadas were my favorite. Casual place with carry-out counter. Fairly small so get there early

This is definitely a good option in Recoleta. Friendly staff with varied menu though empanadas were certainly the highlight. If looking for parrilla can do much better elsewhere but enjoyed.

Tasty cheap eats. 3 empanadas make a light lunch . Spicy beef , Roquefort and the fried empanada were all nice.

Best empanadas in the country !!! Great traditional atmosphere and very reasonable prices. Tip: can't miss the San Juaninas soft.

Empanadas are really good, together with wine in the penguin jar. Try the fried one, better then others! More at http://fromtheworld.me/2012/01/06/bue-el-sanjuanino/

One of the great simple pleasures of Argentina - empanadas originales. Uncomplicated, authentic argentine comfort food !

Best empanadas ! Their parmigiana is very good too!

The humita is kind of like a tamale ; it has the consistency of cream of corn wrapped in corn husks. The empanadas are great.

Best empanada of Buenos Aires. Order Sangria to drink. Refreshing and a awesome way to get drunk! LOL ;)

The empanadas were amazing! From the ones I tried my favorite was the queso y cebolla empanada .

Nice food, not so great wine . They have a special gluten free menu for celiac!

Right with beef and great wine , the staple food that many associate as "Argentina" are Empanadas . and some of the best come from El Sanjuanino.

Simply the best empanadas in town . Get a bag to go.

The day we ate there the locro was scary -- a bit like skeleton soup . The empanadas were delicious, tho', especially the carne picante

Amazing empanadas ! Best in town always. Awful service though.

Their flan mixto is the best!

This place is a little out of the way, but is definitely worth it. Treat yo'self!!

Empanadas are great, but matambre is my fave. Try it

Havia um pedaço de barata na empanada . A experiência mais nojenta que já vivi. Awfull and disgusting experience, there was pieces of a cockroach on the plate.

The best empanadas I've had in Buenos Aires!

Liked the blue cheese and corn empanadas

Tried empanadas everywhere in BsAs and this won for their special fried empanada

Not sure what the hype is all about. Decent empanadas at best...

Nummy empanadas . Be sure to practice your Spanish with the waiter

Food isn't that great. Waiter service very poor. Tiny tables on the saloon. There are better places in BA for a meal!

Not as good as the first couple of times...I would skip this now.

Comidas típicas argentinas muy ricas, lugar agradable aunque demasiado promocionado para turistas internacionales. Hay que pasar y probar (foto: locro del 1ro de Mayo)

Esse local deveria ser uma entidade na cidade ! Comida muito bem servida, autêntica , deliciosa, caseira e com preço honesto. As empanadas , os cortes de carne e o spaguethi a bolonhesa são fantásticos!
