Finding the best Empanadas in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Empanadas I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled yerba mate with genuine knowledge and the herbal and garlicky result was noticeably superior.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. The winning restaurant had the right a Sunday asado in a friend's garden feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. Malbec was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Empanadas is made properly it's a completely different experience.
