There are actually two restaurants under this name (Cabrera 5099 & Cabrera 5127) because it is SO popular among tourists - and for a reason! Good meat and unique side dishes. Always packed with tourists, great ambience and waiters speak English. Long wait times, but if you go there early you are in for a surprise: every night from 7pm – 8pm they offer a “Happy Hour” menu where everything is 40% off. YES, EVERYTHING.

Named after the town of Faimallá, know as the Argentine capital of empanadas, this place offers traditional recipes from the province of Tucumán, in the North of Argentina. Our suggestion is to try the soups (locro, humita) and the tamales, as they are harder to find in Buenos Aires. There are 5 tables to sit, or you can order to leave (by phone or whatsapp, as well!).
