Doña Lupita — Restaurant in Ushuaia

During our South America and Antarctica cruise, Ushuaia was one of our stops and we were eager to find some delicious empanadas. Our kids had fallen in love with empanadas in Argentina, so we were on the hunt for some here as well. After asking many people, we finally stumbled upon this quaint place called Doña Lupita just as the kids were starving.

The restaurant was quite bare and simply decorated, but that did not take away from the charm of the experience. We ordered beer for my husband and cold drinks for myself, and everything was just what we needed after a long day of exploring.

The empanadas were fresh and absolutely delicious. You could tell they were made with care and quality ingredients. The kids were thrilled and ate them up quickly, making this spot a definite highlight of our time in Ushuaia.

Doña Lupita is a wonderful place to stop if you are looking for authentic and tasty empanadas in this port. We were so glad we found it and would recommend it to anyone visiting Ushuaia, especially families with hungry little...

The experience have been amazingly exquisite. At the beginning, since entering into the restaurant, Candela (our waitress) showed us a genuinely sense of service, helping us to know their “must try” from the menu and explaining it and answered all of our questions very quick.

Started with their Empanadas (turnover pie): (We ordered Baked, but you can choose them fried too!) -Carne a Cuchillo (Knifed Meat) -Matambrito (Flank Steak) -Mondongooool! (Tripe) All three were so delicious, tender, flavorful and fresh!

And their Pizza… OMG!!!

-Mozzarella solo, the best in Ushuaia!!! -Smoked Bacon with Mozzarella and caramelized Onios!!! WOW!!!! This is the one of you like sweet and salty at the same time!

Ice cold draft beers with chilled glasses…

Definitely, the best place to eat quick, delicious and with reasonable prices, because you’re getting QUALITY FOOD!

I’ll be back!

You get to choose 2 flavours on a single pie and it can cut up to 8 slices and enough for 2 people to share. The pizza that served here is of thick crust type pizza and I personally think they could use a little more tomato sauce for the base as the taste was a little flat but none the less its still a good pie. The server working that evening was very warm and speaks English.

We came right after opening hours and the place quickly fills up soon after. Since its not a big dining room, I suggest that you...
