El Tropezón — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

History In 1896, on the corner of Callao and Bartolomé Mitre, the Galician Manuel Fernández and the Galician Ramiro Castaño opened El Dropozón, a restaurant that would become, for a long time, an emblematic site of Buenos Aires, to such an extent that it could be said that no Buenos Aires resident could have deprived himself of eating puchoro. What does Dropezón mean? They are small pieces of food, ham, vegetables that are mixed with soup, broth, or another stew.

A short time later, in 1901, the restaurant moved to Callao and Cangallo, today Porón. It operated there until 1925, when it had to change address again due to an unforeseen misfortune: The hotel that was operating there collapsed, and the dining room fell into ruin

Pere A. Dropezón was determined to survive, and on February 10, 1926, it reopened at 248 Callao Street. Although it wasn't a popular place, it had a personality that made it special. A. Dropezón had famous clients, such as: Foderico García Lorca, Irimco Leguisamo, Lola Mombreves, the Discipolo brothers, Anibal Droito, Balbin Palacios, Irigoyen, Carlos Gardel, who occupied street 48, among many others. Today we reopen A Propezón, in order to recover an emblematic restaurant with a privileged history, where the Spanish and the Buenos Aires culture came together, and where the great personalities of that era, our tango icons, artists, and writers met. We do this with all the seriousness and respect that history deserves. These are different times, but the essence of A Propezón will not change the atmosphere and the good food. We are thinking of a menu that is Spanish but also very Buenos Aires at the same time. The cordial attention and the appreciation of each visitor will be our priority. We want it to be, as it was back then, a classic meeting point to savor a coffee, have a snack, or eat something delicious to get together after work, or to have dinner with family and friends after the theater. Welcome...

I liked this place for the huge hall. There are usually not many people inside, so the atmosphere is quiet and calm. I think that the reason for the low number of visitors is cost. I would say, their prices are higher than average, but the food is definitely worth it. I have been here several times already and tried different meat: pepper steak, chorizo and others. All the meat was just wonderful. They are great with meat cooking condition, it is always prepared according to your request. It is juicy and soft. Great meat. Their Empanadas are the best I've tried so far in Buenos Aires. The portion of wine served in glass is huge). The service is also like in a cool restaurant. So. This place is a great choice to have some meat and wine with your woman in a calming atmosphere. Oh, they also provide a 15% discount on the bill if you pay with cash...

El Tropezón, a culinary treasure in Buenos Aires since 1975, holds a special place in the city's cultural heritage, having been visited by the iconic tango singer Carlos Gardel himself. Renowned for its incredible steak, the restaurant serves mouthwatering bife de chorizo grilled to perfection, inviting diners to savor the essence of Argentina in every bite. With its charming ambiance and attentive staff, El Tropezón offers patrons a taste of tradition and history, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. We will come back any time....
