Plaza Serrano-The Whole Damn Thing
Argentakin' me to the cleaners!
Plaza Serrano, Palermo Viejo
OK so if you are a tourist you are going to hear about Plaza Serrano as this cool place to go, there are tons of places with outdoor seating and cute little cafes etc., but it is such a rip-off I have to warn you, you are NOT getting your money's worth! First of all, they all have table service, and then the sandwiches and pizzas etc. are all going to be at least 3 pesos more than they should be. That may not seem like a lot to a tourist, which is why they are all there (we hear more english than spanish when we walk by most of the time...) but as someone who works for and lives on pesos, trust me you are being raked over the coals. Now, if you are going to have like a beer or a coffee, ok, you are going to be paying relatively the same price as you would anywhere else. But for the rest, and it's just not that good. We have eaten basically around the square, with Tazz being the worst, hands down! and nothing is worth going back to. If you have time to spend go to the plaza for a quick tour of the people selling stuff, then head a little off the square and try a restaurant on a side street. You will hear a lot more spanish and the food will be worth the price. Trust me.
