EL Hornero de San Telmo — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Very good! Worth the wait. I got served quickly despite the line and waited maybe 15 minutes for my order. This was at peak time during Sunday lunch. Staff were friendly and pleasant.

Really good and felt healthy too. Located in Mercado...

Pricier than your average side street empanada shop, and whether or not it’s worth it is subjective. They were all tasty and some flavours aren’t as common. At time of writing, $2200 ARS per ($2 USD), but some discounts if you get more eg $6000 for 3 ($5.5 USD).

I’d go here again if in the area but not necessarily out of my way given how good empanada...
