Cumana
Argenterrific!
Rodriguez Pena and Santa Fe, Recoleta
This place is always packed, and for good reason. The food is cheap and sooo tasty. They have all the typical dishes, like empanadas and casuelas, which are like little clay pots cooked with good stuff inside-we have tried the lentils, the wild rice with mushrooms and cheese, and of course the shepard's pie. It's not actually called that on the menu, but that's what it is and there is nothing better, especially on one of those days where it is raining of you just need some comfort food...
The salads look good, though I ordered one and the "dressing" turned out to be like two handfulls of mayonnaise piled on top. Ew! It was unscrapable, too, so Levi had to be brave and eat it all. He actually liked it, so maybe it wasn't that bad, but I would get the caprese next time, it looks awesome, and it's what everyone around us was getting, so we should have taken the clue.
The place next door to Cumana is there to take in the overflow and is owned by the same people, but this one has a parilla whereas Cumana could easily be mistaken for a vegetarian restaurant. (Do not mistake this for one of those bland veggie-only barfy bran places, this place has flavor!!!) However the place next door has no air conditioning so beware, especially on a hot day, not to sit too close to the parilla, or prepare to feel like you have been in a sauna. It just does not cool down!!!
Last note, the boy's bathroom in Cumana is located next to their oven, so again, you will feel like you are in a sauna, try to make your trips as quick as possible!
