Anyone been to this Mexican place with the huge burritos? - Nacha Tex Mex in Olivos

[Digital Nomad]

I have been seeing a ton of Tik Tok's on this Mexican Place. Has anyone been? I'm never that far but I love Mexican and Mexican places suck here. Anyone been or planning to go?




There was also a news article about it today.

Funny as a friend went there last weekend. 10,000 pesos is already expensive for a burrito but he told me that he paid 20,000 pesos for the burrito he got. I think 10,000 pesos plus they charge you for some additional toppings. I am not sure as I didn't go but if so $20 dollars for a burrito is insane!

My friend lives by that place and said it's like Chipotle but she said it tasted better. She just said they are expensive but HUGE so maybe it's worth it. It started going viral so there are tons of lines now.

Here is the Google listing:

NACHA Tex-Mex · Av. del Libertador 2896, B1636 Olivos, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentinien

âââââ · Tex-Mex-Restaurant

I haven't heard of this place but will check it out! I love Mexican food but none of the places are that good in BA. It's a bit far but will try to check it out this weekend. Hopefully the lines aren't too long.

Wally, if what you love is Mexican food as we know it in the States, this place may not disappoint but, you live here, so you know that it won't be as spicy.

Yes I am not a big spicy person but all my friends that are, constantly are disappointed from the lack of heat here in Argentina.

Great! Will visit. I have been to several of the "Mexican" places in Palermo but didn't like them much. Figure it will be worth a visit. Many posts and reviews online from expats/tourists rave about it.

But that so easy to fix. Even supermarkets sell ají molido picante and other sauces. I have them in tiny jars that I take with me when eating out. I don't like too much heat, either. In some of the northern provinces food can be spicy.

This is what we do. We have been coming to Buenos Aires for a while now. We carry around packets of hot sauce that we bring from Mexico. Also, people laugh but we bring bottles of salad dressing with us when we dine out. The lack of sauces and seasonings in BA shouldn't stop people from enjoying what they like. 🙂

Looks delicious! Will visit it this weekend. Looks huge!

$20 USD for a burrito! That crazy price.

These days these restaurants just pay people to make them go viral. I'd focus on the reviews. One review said they are from Texas and know good burritos and it was good so that is encouraging.

Sounds like BA has USA prices. Chipotle now is around $22+ for a burrito.

 

[earlyretirement]

Holy cow! 😳

Yes there are a lot of people protesting Chipotle and other companies at the obscene prices they are charging now.

 

[Wally]

Yeah food in the US has gotten so expensive. Each time I go back seems like even fast food is really expensive.

 

[Betsy Ross]

OMG! That video is the most unappetizing thing I've ever seen. Yuck!

I agree! It's no wonder many Americans are morbidly obese and have so many health issues!

Very true. I am amazed at the portion sizes in the US. That looks absolutely disgusting and not edible. How can people each such big portions? Also, the US is full of so much processed food. Much of it is illegal in in the EU. Many of these franchises could never expand to the EU because the chemicals and processed food are illegal. That is 100% true.

It has been disheartening to see the Americanization of food in Buenos Aires over the past few years.

Food here is so disgusting at the fast food level. And even Starbucks is all super sugary drinks. At least hopefully your food is better for you there but surprising to see these supersize burritos in Buenos Aires. I am looking forward to avoiding this type of food.

Thankfully, that monstrosity is not common here. One of the many short-lived fads, like in any country. The food is definitely much better and not just in CABA.

Amen. These type of things just get popular with social media and then seem to die down or go out of business after the fad is over. People realize just how ridiculous it all is.

 

[VINO]

This is gross. It is sad to see American type food joints making their way to Argentina with portion sizes and all the junk.
