cazuela,
stick-to-your-ribs stews filled with squash, corn, eggplant, potatoes and meat. Also popu-
lar are the
empanadas, locro
and
humita

avoid a wait.

EL SANJUANINO $
( 4805-2683; Posadas 1515; empanadas AR$13, mains AR$40-70; noon-4pm & 7pm-1am)
This
long-running, cozy little joint probably has the cheapest food in Recoleta, attracting both
penny-pinching locals and thrifty tourists. Sit either upstairs or downstairs (in the base-
ment) and order spicy
empanadas,
tamales or
locro
(corn and meat stew). The curved
brick ceiling adds to the atmosphere, but many take their food to go - Recoleta's lovely
parks are just a couple of blocks away.
