Restaurant reviews – the opinions expressed are solely my own. Often, though it will appear that they’re based on a single visit, they’re based on more than one. And I’m willing to hear from folks who disagree – I do know that restaurants, including my own, have their off days.
A quintet of disappointing pizza experiences. Sometimes here, I just want to give up on finding good pizza. Or just keep going back to the places I already know make good pizza. None of these were blantantly bad pizza, just none of them offered up pies that I’d bother to go back for. Do I… Read More Pizza Sadness
A mix of new and old, visits to spots that have opened only recently, and some visits to others that I haven’t been to in awhile. Just reminding us all that they’re still here, and delicious! Pop, Mendoza 1529, Belgrano (Barrio Chino) – Very trendy, modern, slick, whatever. Very orange. Mostly about the drinks –… Read More Chop Suey #27
It’s been a bit since I dedicated a post to new Peruvian spots we’ve checked out, so let’s go for it! Pica Rico, Av. Corrientes 2955, Once – The name suggests that you’ll nibble deliciously, but unfortunately, that was not to be the case. A nearly brand new spot a couple of blocks from the… Read More Three Peruvians, Old and New
We’ve talked about bodegones before – the Argentine spots that serve up classic fare, and often as traditional to their regional origins as they can be. Almost always very casual spots. Today, we dive into three different ones that we’ve been to recently. We’ll start at La Aguada, Billinghurst 1862, Recoleta. One of those places we’ve passed… Read More A Trio of Bodegones
I’ve been informed by my other half that I need to go back to my various wandering day trips and stop spending so much time at home. A vestige of the last two pandemic years. And, I have missed doing those, it’s just not been easy to motivate myself to get back into them. But,… Read More A Day in Lanús
Yes, truel, or triel, is a word, and the equivalent of a duel, but between three parties. And new words for me, I guess in the back of my mind I assumed that there might be words for duels between more than two people, but had never looked them up. Learning, always learning! Today, we’re looking at… Read More An Omakase… Truel
A quartet of spots, with pizza, Korean food, Italian food, and Peruvian-Nikkei food. On a random roll of the dice, I had headed out to barrio Coghlan to check out one of those “neighbors say it’s the best in the barrio” pizzerias, Primera Parada. Unfortunately, they turned out to be takeout only. Now, that’s not what… Read More Bite Marks #98
So many little lunches out and I haven’t been writing them up. I’ll cover a few of them today and save the rest for another post. This sort of hole-in-the-wall spot that I stumbled on right here in my neighborhood. Well, it’s about ten blocks away, but still, never noticed it before. Clarisimo Resto, Parera 187,… Read More Bite Marks #97
