"A little slice of Buenos Aires — complete with copious fútbol memorabilia — in the heart of Boulder, this warm and welcoming family-run counter joint has built a cult following around its empanadas, whether stuffed with steak, onions, peppers, and olives or mozzarella, tomato, and basil. But it also makes its share of stellar sandwiches, including Argentina’s iconic choripán with sausage and chimichurri, while pouring a proper spot of yerba mate. Bonus: There may be no better place in town to catch a soccer match (check its Instagram feed for screenings)." - Ruth Tobias
