    Bodegón de Buenos Aires, spectacular, but how much did they say I spent?

    Many bodegones no longer comply with "Bueno, Bonito y Barato" (Good, Nice and Cheap). Over $9000 each dish, not that it's expensive, but it's far from economical. Both dishes look tremendous appetizing!!!! I hope you enjoyed them very much!!!!

    Newcomer How much does it cost to live well in Buenos Aires?

    Fair and square the truth. Because the rents of nice places in nice neighborhoods, in my opinion, are going to eat at least 50% of that salary (rent + expenses + utilities). Travel expenses. Food. And initially furnishing an apartment is expensive. Look how much a sommier costs. Or a washing...

    Please get me hyped up for Buenos Aires

    I've been in CDMX for the past 1.5 years, but I keep wanting to spend time in Buenos Aires. I finally booked a ticket and I'm going in less than a week, however I've had some personal challenges recently (nothing major, just many small things at once) and I'm finding it hard to get excited for...

    Newcomer How long can the mosquito invasion in the AMBA extend?

    The proliferation of mosquitoes, mainly of the Aedes albifasciatus species, has been strongly felt in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires and other areas of the country due to recent rains. This species, known as "flood mosquitoes", breeds in temporary puddles formed by rainfall. The breeding...

    Trip Reports Museo Nacional Ferroviario - Retiro

    Nice museum where you can see telecommunications artifacts, old signage, old machinery and a lot of history in them. It is a small museum in space, but with a lot of things. There are also photos, models, etc.

    Trip Reports What to add to Buenos Aires trip?

    Agreed that Patagonia or Mendoza (or both!) are a great option. I went over Christmas and did 4 days Patagonia, 4 days BA, 4 days Mendoza. I had wished there was more time in Patagonia based on the travel time and route we took, but it was the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. We rented a car...

    Food & Drink Chinese food - chow mein in Buenos Aires

    A good thing, I'm in floresta-flores so there are a lot of Peruvian leftovers here. I'm a fan of chaufa but I've never tried the noodles. I'm going to start trying the ones I have nearby, and I'm in for Maleñito.

    Food & Drink Chinese food - chow mein in Buenos Aires

    Hi guys, I was looking for recommendations of Chinese restaurants but more of a fast food kind of place. I usually recommend places that are more gourmet but I'm looking for something closer to homemade or fast. It should not be too expensive or if it is worth the taste, because there are...

    Food & Drink Croque Madame, Outdoor Snack in a beautiful garden

    I went to this restaurant this week. The prices were quite high for a plate of Plancha de langostinos con papas al ajillo, which cost me about 14 dollars. Compared to the biggest burger at Macdonalds it costs about 11 dollars. So I don't think this restaurant is very expensive. Obviously it...
