Food & Drink Best Empanadas in Buenos Aires - List of Restaurants with the Best!

[Howard Stern]

I love great empanadas! I think that is the best food Argentina does well. It's hard to find a bad empanada. I wanted to start this thread to list the most delicious empanadas in Buenos Aires. Service is very quick and easy and you can get them to go. I always get a box to take back to my apartment. Every time my friends are in town I bring them here and they get addicted to them as well and we come back all throughout the trip.


My favorite is La Americana

I don't think you can go wrong with ANY empanada in Argentina. I've been all over the country and never really had a bad empanada.

Probably my favorite is El San Juanino - Recoleta

I've been coming here for the past 22 years. I lived on Avenida Alvear and would walk down 1 block and come here a few times a week. When I eat there, I always get the same waiter. Great guy and friendly service here. They have a large selection of flavors of Empanadas and they are all great. They Milanesas are to die for here too but the star of the show is the Empanadas.

I don't like the pizza here but I love me some empanadas!

I agree you can't really get a bad empanada. I even in a pinch have gotten them at the supermarket at Coto and they aren't bad in a pinch.

Nothing better than a hot and spicy empanada with a delicious glass of vino tinto. I love wine and empanadas and my favorite is El Gauchito!

 

[Crossfit Junkie]

Wow!!!

You all are making me hungry. I am so thankful I went on Twitter to find this forum. I will try El Sanjuanino as it's near our hotel. We are staying at the Park Hyatt in Recoleta. This one looks to be just one block over!!! I'm so excited for our trip next month.

Yes, this is my go-to place as well. I love San Juanino and it's always packed with locals and tourists. People always say how they are worried about how expensive BA will get but an empanada has been about a US buck for a while now! I'm not sure if Porteños would tolerate an expensive empanada. I've really never had a horrible empanada even ordering from delivery places.

I have been going into this joint for a while and the same waiter is there. I think they give him to all the tourists/expats as he can speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese. He is always cracking the same bad jokes with me as I think they have so much volume he doesn't remember me even though I have gotten him about 20 times! I will ask his name next time. VERY friendly guy!

Great list! This place is my favorite. But I have tried several on this list and they are all great.

I ate many empanadas here and I like all of them. I like San Juanino in Recoleta. Very affordable and I tried 7 different there and all very good.

I go to El San Juanino all the time. It's crowded at peak times. I like to eat an Empanada and then have a coffee at La Biela just up the street. Great area.
