At one of the street vendors near Plaza Puerto Argentino, Costanera Norte.

Street parilla sandwiches, bondiola (pork), and paty (hamburger).

This is from one of the vendors on Costanera Sur, near the entrance to the Ecological Reserve. Picture shows the standard Chimichurri, the excellent spicy Aji Picante, the tangy Provenzal, and the local Salsa Criolla. To the extreme left are grilled onions, and to the extreme right are fried potato strips that are meant as pancho hot-dog sandwich toppings.

Parilla on the street, near Plaza Puerto Argentino, Costanera Norte.

At the Kotoroko's food stand right at the entrance of Plaza Puerto Argentino, Costanera Norte. This is the Choripan "full". With jamon, queso, huevo, cebolla, tomate!

Fantastic, richly filled pasties. Candilejas are the round ones, and the empanada to the right. The cafeteria Gourmet sells these.

Very filling tartas, vegetable/meat pies. Sandwicherias or Confiterias are the best places to get these types of food.

Found these only at the weekend Recoleta Feria. Vendors selling this hot filled-breads store these in a large insulated container that they carry around. Did not find this anywhere else in Buenos Aires, and after eating small, dry, tiny empanadas, the large pan rellenos calientes was a great find, very filling, and very tasty. The special had generous amount of ham, cheese, tomatoes.

Demashk is a small joint at Charcas 3816 corner of Scalabrini Ortiz, and near the Subte station. They serve shawarma sandwiches, and side dishes. Very inexpensive, AR$6 each for these dishes. Strange service though - he insisted he could not give me pita for the hummus (puré de garbanzos) or metabal (puré de berenjenas) or baba ganush (berenjenas, tomate, pasta de granada, perejil), even though they had a stack of pita breads that were used to make the shawarma sandwiches! Still, worth a visit for a change in pace from usual standard fare in Buenos Aires.

El Establo at Paraguay 489. Half-portion of the bife de chorizo. Great sauce, nice tangy taste, was not the usual dry-tasting chimichurri seen in most places.
