El buen sabor africano — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

This place was on my bucket list to go to before leaving Argentina after a mere glance at that fried fish and those plantains. The chef is from Camerún and moved to Argentina in 2002. He runs the shop with his partner that he met here. The location is unassuming, surrounded by urban residential apartment buildings. Honestly, it just adds to the vibes and makes you feel special for having found it.

We got:

Well first, they served nice fresh buns that teared apart very nicely. Came with a yummy but very cold salsa

8 chicken wings came with a perfectly spicy salsa. YUM. So crispy and good

Mango limón juice- more like a smoothie and omg it was so good.

Also— very well-priced...

The music is terrific, and the food is astounding!! I can’t say enough about this place, just GO and try for yourself. Best African food in Buenos Aires hands down. I...

We tried this gem at a food market 8 yrs ago and FINALLY made it back. And wow. Not disappointed at all. The food was just as heavenly as I remembered. The yuca cooked to perfection!!

Service was outstanding!! 16 seats inside so best to make a reservation. There are also a few seats outside. Really glad we made the time and effort to revisit. We...
