I am sure they do their media lunas, milanesas and other typical BA foods just fine but the other stuff - not so good. The burgers appear and taste like "in-house" made, but they are obviously made by cooks who never eat actual burgers and management intent on charging too much for what they serve.Skip there salads, be ready to pay too much for burgers but go ahead and order their wonderful milkshakes.Can someone please tell me why ALL of BA insists on serving sauces in those horrible little rip packets?

We ordered 2 cafe con leche and an espresso along with 2 orders of pancakes and fries. About 45 min later, our food arrived (no drinks). The pancakes were very thin, crepe-style. Served cold and covered with about a quart of chocolate, caramel and other toppings, a mountain of toppings. It was a soggy mess. The fries were cold too. The coffee came about 15 min after the food was served. The coffee was also cold. The server agreed to remake the coffee, and 20 min later, we had hot coffee.I cannot remember a worse meal in Buenos Aires or more terrible service. Don't eat here!
