Juana de Oro — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

This place was eh. There's not much else to say about it. It's your typical uninspired Argentine food. I ordered the Pasta with Pomodoro and Albahaca. I figured it'd come with actual Pomodoro sauce, as in tomato sauce. It came with brutally sliced chunks of tomato, basil that had the texture of being drenched under a faucet for too long and other vegetables that had no place in the dish.

All this said I've lived in Italy, so when I see Pesto Pasta as an option with whole nuts literally scattered on top of the pasta instead of inside of the Pesto like you'd think they'd be (which is the way this place is), I freak out.

The pepsi was good though, no complaints there. They brought us ice!

The menu was tearing, the place definitely needs renovations, but perhaps they really are keen on keeping the old money (albeit cheap) traditional look that they have going.

My suggestion: Go somewhere else... For whatever reason there seem to be a lot of mediocre restaurants in this neighborhood, which sucks because there are a lot of residents and workers around here. Cafe Martinez has never disappointed me, try there.

Pros: I got my pepsi, no problem It's cheap You can ingest it

Cons: Everything else (in a matter of preference) The packets of grated cheese are very difficult to open with your hands, so bring a pair of teeth.

TL;DR: Mediocre, Eh, Go elsewhere unless you're loyal...

Stopped in here for a late lunch (4pm), and was happy to find they had a nice lunch menu with various set plate options.

My wife and I got the small strip steak meal (which was still plenty generous) with salad, and my buddy got the rib cross cut (t-bone) with fries. All the food was great, and the steaks were cooked nicely. The salads were fresh, and the fries crispy.

Each meal came with a dull size glass bottle soda (or other options), and you could have a coffee or dessert after.

The after meal coffees were quite robust, and the flan was super rich and creamy. Staff were very nice. We found the prices to be...

Fuimos a comer en familia y tuvimos un PESIMA experiencia. No vayan.

Si quieren más detalle:

se quedaron sin pechuga, los platos con pollo solo pata y muslo no tenían ninguna pasta rellena pedimos tallarines, que supuestamente tenían, y trajeron un plato de tirabuzones (los de paquete) sin siquiera preguntarnos. Hubo que devolverlos. no tenían hielo!!! pedimos un bife de chorizo con ensalada. Primero vino con puré, lo devolvimos, volvió a venir con papas fritas a caballo. Nos lo quedamos porque estábamos hinchados los huevos. encima de todo la comida tardó más de una hora y media en venir.

En fin....
