This is another old haunt of mine, back when I stayed in Congreso and could eat gluten. This is NOT the place for a gluten-free individual to eat. I got glutened despite eating food without wheat and taking my enzymes. However, it’s cheap and if you are a gluten-eating human, you will love this place.
FAINA! This is my place for faina, the chickpea (garbanzo bean) flatbread that most traditional pizzerias serve here. I had faina and a huge salad and a glass of wine. My buddies shared a pizza, slices of faina, more slices of pizza, a few glasses of beer, and finished my salad. All that for under $30, so about $6/person!
I went here with my friends Kent, Sara and Peter after an evening at Los Consagrados. It has become a tradition to do this when I am in Buenos Aires, and it was great to stroll over from the milonga, about 1.5 km, and have a bite with friends.
La Continental is a chain now, so you don’t have to be in Congreso to eat there. It’s soooo much easier now that Google Maps works better in Buenos Aires :-)
