Buenos Aires is full of great restaurants and seems like almost everyday there is a new one that has opened up. Time will tell if all these restaurants can stay in business, but at the present moment the demand for culinary options in the city is at an all time high. It is amazing to see so many of them that seem to be always full. But there are also a fair share of new places that you pass by that are dead empty. One would assume that if the economy starts to slow down some of these new establishments will have a hard time staying afloat. But one thing is for sure; no matter what economic climate Porteños are faced with, they will always find a way to eat out with good friends and good company.
Currently restaurants in Buenos Aires are becoming more creative in their style of cuisine, presentation and interior design. Lets take a look at 5 new hot additions to the Buenos Aires restaurant scene.

Of all the Closed Door Restaurant options that have been springing up in Buenos Aires over the last couple years, Casa Mun has become one of the most popular and for good reason.
Casa Mun serves Asian/California cuisine and is run by Chef Mun who studied under celebrity Chef Makota Okuwa (who has appeared 13 times on the Food Network’s hit television show, Iron Chef America) at his beloved Sashi in Manhattan Beach, California and received formal culinary training at the Sushi Chef Institute.

There comes a time where one craves a damn good burger. In Buenos Aires, a good burger is hard to come by. Sure, making the random trip to Burger King or McDonald’s is sufficient for some, but most of us are looking for more.

Every Gringo, especially from the US, is going to get a craving for some good Mexican food down here in Buenos Aires. There is actually a pretty decent selection of Mexican food in Buenos Aires if you know where to look and its getting more popular every year, resulting in new restaurant openings.
Mexican restaurants will also satisfy a Gringo’s craving for spicy food, as many of the restaurants have a solid selection of hot sauces and salsas.
The following Mexicans restaurants are places I have personally eaten at and can give an honest opinion about. I hope to explore more Mexican restaurants in Buenos Aires, but this should give everyone a good list of places to check out. Enjoy!!

If anyone has been in Buenos Aires for a while, they will come to realize spicy food can be hard to come by. Not too hard, as there is an ever growing selection of Mexican restaurants and also a few Indian restaurants. But there are not too many options to spice up your own food other than buying some overpriced Tabasco Sauce in a Coto.
Thankfully two young Gringos from Washington DC, Mark and Kevin spent a month on an organic farm in Argentina learning how to make hot sauce and have brought their skills to Buenos Aires. Their creation is La Boca Roja which they are currently selling now!

For many expats living in Buenos Aires, the day comes when they realize something is missing. What could that thing be? Pepperoni Pizza of course. In a city that seems to have its fair selection of different Italian meats, Pepperoni seems nowhere to be found. There may be good reason for this, as Pepperoni is more of an Italian-American (North American) invention. But still, its Pepperoni!! It shouldn’t be THAT hard to find! Us expats from the states are so accustomed to Pepperoni on our pizza that it is crazy to imagine a pizzeria not offering it. Most first time expats will order a Calabresa pizza thinking it is Pepperoni, only to find the taste of Calabresa is not up to par.

If you’ve ever been to San Telmo on a Sunday (and let’s face it, we all have), you would have seen market stalls selling antique seltzer siphon bottles. These beautiful old bottles display the history of Argentina’s love affair with seltzer.
And it’s a history that continues to be written. In Buenos Aires, bottles of seltzer in siphon bottles, now made from plastic, are still delivered to peoples’ doors, much like the way that milk used to be delivered in the United States and elsewhere.

In case you weren’t aware, coffee is quite popular nowadays! The internet tells me that over 400 billion cups are consumed every year worldwide – rather a lot by anyone’s reckoning.
Buenos Aires certainly contributes its fair share to that total. Indeed, at first glance, Buenos Aires seems to be the proud owner of a deep and abiding coffee culture: meeting for a coffee is indisputably a pillar of Argentine social life. This is aided and abetted by the fact that the lines between café, bar and restaurant are blessedly blurred in Argentina, meaning that you can get a cup of joe just about anywhere that has waiters.
