La Dorita - Buenos Aires' Hottest Affordable Steakhouse
If you're visiting Bosques de Palermo, don't miss this locally adored steakhouse! La Dorita del Botánico is just a short walk away—perfect for a post-park feast. I arrived before the lunch rush and had the place to myself at first... but within 30 minutes, it was packed with locals! 📍 Location Tips La Dorita has 3 branches: 1️⃣ La Dorita del Botánico (Closest to the park, best atmosphere) 2️⃣ La Dorita de Palermo (Slightly farther but equally great) 3️⃣ La Dorita near Chinatown (Less reviewed, stick to the first two) 🥩 Why Locals Love It ✔ MIND-BLOWING Sweetbreads (Mollejas) – Almost as good as Don Julio, but 1/3 the price! ✔ Juicy, perfectly grilled meats – Their Ojo de Bife (ribeye) is a must-order. ✔ Empanadas – The beef ones here are elite (street empanadas can be hit or miss). ✔ Crunchy Almond Ice Cream – Served with hot chocolate shell—pure decadence! 🍟 FYI: Their fries are decent, but Argentina’s best fries are at KFC/McDonald’s (lol). 💰 Budget-Friendly Steaks from ARS 12,000 (vs. ARS 40,000+ at Don Julio) Free bread basket (so you can skip extra sides if needed) 🕒 Hours 📍 La Dorita del Botánico Daily: 12:00 PM - 12:00 AM Fri/Sat: Closes 12:30 AM 📍 La Dorita de Palermo Sun-Thu: 12:00 PM - 12:30 AM Fri-Sat: 12:00 PM - 1:30 AM 📸 Check the menu & prices in the pics! #BuenosAiresEats #ArgentinaSteak #BudgetTravel #FoodieFind
