  We only had about 500 pesos left after a bit of shopping, so we were a bit nervous about what we’d be able to get for lunch here. We shared a liter of beer, a locro, a humita, and three empanadas, and still had plenty of cash left over for a tip. Aside from how incredibly affordable this place is, the food was delicious and high-quality. You can tell it’s made with care. The restaurant is cute and cozy (love the crayons at every table), and the staff is friendly.

  Very good and cheap food. The spinach cannelloni is amazing.

  Super dooper cute barback at this place. I was sitting the wrong way and I kept turning around it was embarrassing. I had the espinacas queso canalone too and it was rad. Define 'nominal' and 'substantial', say with respect to tipping. I have no idea what to tip here. Where I first got here, at a coffee shop in I think it's called the Microcenter, just a few blocks toward Puerto Madero from El Obelisco, near the Florida pietonál, an old man next to me at the coffee bar left a 5 peso bill. Thinks aren't really that cheap here. A coffee drink costs between 36 and 45 pesos, or between $2-2.50. It's amusing that there are bills, and that they prefer them to coins, for denominations as small as 2 pesos. So the 5 peso tip was about 10%. For some reason it felt nominal to me. I mean I went and left the same amount, following his example, but it felt like I was winking at a tip, leaving a tip in name only. It was in fact not nominal; it comprised over 10% of the bill, and that percentage is of substance. Perhaps the discrepancy between what I felt and the reality of the circumstance was owing to the misalliance between a bill of currency and it's actual value.

  Great prices, excellent food. Empanadas were delicious and the cheese spinach canalone was out of this world.Fabulous restaurant to return to again and again. Practical tip: restaurant accepts cash only (no credit cards)

  A beautiful, yet unassuming establishment slap bang on a busy street and yet a beautiful and peaceful sanctuary. The decor is simple, yet effective. I stumbled into this quite by accident. The waiter didn’t speak English but was very helpful in indicating what I should try. He recommended the locro, a stew made of white beans, pork, beef and chorizo with a mild spice. The dish arrived in all its understated glory. The first mouthful had me hooked. A porky, meaty and gently spiced bowl of thick and rich goodness! The meat was slowly cooked so it simply melted in my mouth. Served with thick, crusty bread with lashings of butter, this dish is sublime. At 130 pesos (about NZ$11.00) you really can’t miss this delicious bowl of heaven.
