Buenos Aires Café
Walking into Buenos Aires Café feels a bit like
traveling to its namesake (not that I’ve been to Argentina, but it evokes what
I’ve seen in photos). A shrine to beef, the décor centers around cattle
inspired mirrors and cow print suede benches, along with South American artwork
and Spanish news articles covering the small tables. The charming interior with
intimate seating creates a pleasant and inviting lunch spot.
They boast an array of mouthwatering lunchtime
specials for under $12, but my favorite is the Lomito Pork or Beef sandwich
with chimmichurri sauce. The tender meat
comes wonderfully seasoned on a crusty baguette with a generous drizzle of
chimmichurri sauce that is out of this world. The pork is my favorite, but I
could eat either the pork or beef sandwich every week. At this particular
lunch, I ordered the cream of asparagus soup as a side and was thoroughly pleased.
It was a perfect blend of vegetables and cream, with a nice spice and silky
finish. My tablemate had the Portabella mushroom sandwich which was also
delectable and proves that you can enjoy their food even if you are not a meat
eater. Their salads are also fresh and delicious, and meat optional.
I have not been to the S. 1st location,
but their East 6th spot is a great place for a business lunch. The
only downside is the food takes a while, so I’d suggest arriving before noon to
avoid the crowd. I absolutely recommend Buenos Aires Café for excellent food,
great atmosphere, and a local eatery off the beaten path.
