22 Best Restaurants in Buenos Aires | Condé Nast Traveler

"Enter the beautifully refurbished house in residential Villa Crespo and you'll instantly feel welcome with catchy Latin beats, bright colored walls, friendly smiles, and incredible smells coming out of the kitchen. The restaurant is by reservation only, so make sure to book ahead. Chef Santiago Macías moved with his siblings from Colombia to open I Latina, where he channels his Colombian and Caribbean roots on the plate. When he's not in Buenos Aires, Macías travels Argentina, sourcing ingredients from small communities. The tasting menu includes hits like beef cheek with Colombian coffee and sugar cane reduction, and a ceviche Nikkei with white fish, smoked prawns, and caramelized octopus." - Allie Lazar
