Perito Moreno 95 (esq. Gdor. Gregores), El Calafate, Santa Cruz
Argentinian Restaurant · 142 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Very nicely appointed place with excellent food and a novel presentation with their "wine wall." The entrees are meant to be shared! Don't try to undertake it alone.
Av. Santa Fe 3951 (e/ Av. Gral. Las Heras y República Árabe Siria), Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C.F.
Botanical Garden · 166 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Lovely even by the standards of botanic gardens. Everything is well maintained and it's proximity to everything makes it a good "quick escape" from the city.
Domingo Atienza 282, San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta
Hotel · 18 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Probably one of the best hotels in San Pedro. Good food and nice accommodations but it's a couple blocks outside of town. Not a bad walk, though.
Fitz Roy 1617 (e/ Gorriti y Honduras), Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C.F.
Deli · Palermo Viejo · 40 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: A decent attempt at replicating a New York Deli while still preserving some "argentina-ness." I had their take on a Reuben which was good. It's a great option for quick food and I'll be back.
El Salvador 5802 (esq. Ángel Carranza), Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C.F.
Pizzeria · Palermo Viejo · 116 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: A casual Italian place that is actually open and accepts credit cards, how novel! The food is better at nearby Siamo but the setting and staff here are great.
Jorge Luis Borges 1766 (e/ Russel y Costa Rica), Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C.F.
Burger Joint · Palermo Viejo · 671 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Excellent burgers in a frantic environment. This place has garnered a reputation for having "the best burgers ever" but I didn't think that was the case. Still very good, though.
Obispo Salguero 600 (San Lorenzo), Ciudad de Córdoba, Córdoba
Comfort Food Restaurant · Nueva Córdoba · 25 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Surprisingly good food for a small cafe. The place also has great music but to my perennial annoyance the service leaves a lot to be desired.
Sarmiento 645 (esq. Maipú), Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires C.F.
Restaurant · Microcentro Porteño · 123 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Rather disappointing. Would be a lovely place but the lighting is oppressive and the food is just average. The live piano music is nice, though.
Ben Engen: A pizza place in the middle of the Chilean desert. That should tell you all you need to know. Although, they do have a neat interior courtyard.
Ben Engen: An alright Italian place, probably pretty good by San Pedro standards and one of the more accurate representations of Hawaiian pizza I've had in South America.
Av. Sarmiento 777 (e/ Av. Belgrano y Av. Perú), Mendoza, Província de Mendoza
Restaurant · 19 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: I don't know how this place has such high marks. Nice setting but I had a bad coffee and a bad toast and they wouldn't give me breakfast because I was one minute late in ordering.
Ben Engen: Checkout the interior courtyard. Really nice setting and attentive service. Indian cuisine may not be quite what you're looking for but you've got to remember their making it for locals.
Av. Colón 241 (e/ Patricias Mendocinas y Av. España), Mendoza, Mendoza
Irish Pub · 61 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: An Irish pub with no Guinness? A wee bit offensive, but this place has everything else you'll need -- dark interiors, a whole bunch of crazy crap on the wall, and soccer on TV. Check it out.
Ben Engen: We were just in for the paired wine lunch which was excellent and the setting looking out over their wee pond was perfect. For sure go here.
Ben Engen: We did the tour and tasting as part of a larger tour and quite enjoyed it. Maybe just a wee bit plain compared to many of the other tours we did that had some unique hook but still enjoyable.
Ben Engen: I have to say this was the most interesting tasting I've done. We played a blending game where we made our own wine and the winner was given a whole bottle of their blend to take home. Great fun.
Roque Saenz Peña 5516 (Callejon de la Virgen), Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza
Winery · 5 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: The Mai is probably the best Malbec that we had in our travels and the setting of this place, while simpler than some, is the prettiest I think.
Ben Engen: Great setting and service, but boy did we have a feast! The portions are a wee bit bigger than you've likely gotten used to in Argentina. But the food is creative and delicous.
Catamarca 22 (e/ San Martín & San Juan), Mendoza, Mendoza
Bar · 13 tips and reviews
Ben Engen: Quite spartan on the inside and counter service only but still an amusingly themed place. Don't know that I'd make a special trip, but if you're nearby...
