They offer some unique stews as well, such as a vizcacha stew, featuring the meat of a wild indigenous rodent (which I personally avoid due to a bad experience at El Baqueano, that featured this critter).<\/p>\n They incorporate the most popular European dishes into the menu, including a full array of pasta dishes, fiambres (cured meats), cheeses, the uniquely Argentine matambre, and the chorizo a la pomarola (an Italian sausage dish) with mashed potatoes, my personal favorite at El Sanjuanino.<\/p>\n Of particular interest are the quesillo dishes, that incorporate curdled-milk cheeses (similar to European \u201ccurds\u201d or \u201ccottage cheese\u201d), mostly offered as desserts.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve ordered the locro, humitas, tamales, the Bife de Chorizo (the only steak on the menu), the pasta and the milanesa (breaded cutlet). The sausage and the accompanying sauce are outstanding. It\u2019s rare to find so much flavor packed into a single dish in Buenos Aires. The locro, tamales and humitas were the best renditions I\u2019ve tasted in Buenos Aires. The steak is reasonable priced and big and served with enough French fries to choke a horse. And I can say without reservation that the milanesa is the only one of dozens I\u2019ve tried in the Buenos Aires that I would order again.<\/p>\n The menu is downright ugly, with pages covered in plastic with penciled in price like the thousands of menus in the corner caf\u00e9s we avoid. And clearly, El Sanjuanino won\u2019t soon be featured in Architectural Digest for innovative design or d\u00e9cor. But the quirky ambiance that\u2019s distinctly Argentine, is apropos.<\/p>\n Prices are a bit better than you\u2019d expect for a restaurant in this genre and at this location. Service has always been good. The house wine that\u2019s served in a traditional \u201cping\u00fcino\u201d pitcher is much better than your typical house wine.<\/p>\n All things considered, this is, I believe, the best choice in Buenos Aires for regional Argentine cuisine. I don\u2019t know that I\u2019d make a special trip if I were a porte\u00f1o living close to other restaurants offering this type of cuisine, but for travelers wanting to experience this little part of Argentine culture, or those living close-by, El Sanjuanino is, hands down, the best choice in the genre.<\/p><\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”2017-V3-10 Text LC PH” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” saved_tabs=”all” global_module=”44055″ \/][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″][et_pb_text admin_label=”2017-V3-11 NG Map Module Global won’t Work” _builder_version=”3.0.65″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid” custom_margin=”20px|20px|20px|20px” saved_tabs=”all”]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nRestaurant Review for El Sanjuanino<\/span><\/h3>\n
Review by: <\/strong><\/span>Ollie O
\nRating: <\/strong><\/span>4.2 stars
\nReview Date: <\/strong><\/span> 12\/04\/2016<\/div>\nWe\u2019ve recently posted several reviews for restaurants in Buenos Aires featuring the country\u2019s indigenous cuisine (often referred to as \u201ccocina criolla\u201d). Cumun\u00e1 is one of the city\u2019s most popular restaurants, gauging by the wait for a table that is common at the peak of both the lunch and dinner services. Our personal favorite for lunch is La Querencia. And a recent addition to the genre, 1810 Cocina Regional, with locations in both Palermo and Retiro, is an excellent option if you are living nearby or staying in one of the hotels close to the downtown location.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
