My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Buenos Aires Café brings Argentine family cooking to East Cesar Chavez, built around recipes the owners describe as rooted in their own childhood kitchens. Empanadas and lomito steak are the dishes most often praised, alongside steak, salad, and chicken plates that show up frequently across reviews.

The wine list draws specifically from Argentina's wine regions, and the cocktail program is built around the bitter-sweet balance associated with Argentine drinking traditions. Next door, the restaurant's sister concept Milonga Room operates as an Amaro bar inspired by historic Buenos Aires.

Diners describe the atmosphere as authentically Argentine, with attentive service and a setting that works well for family dinners and larger social gatherings. Buenos Aires Café has a spot on the Eater 38.
