"One of Austin’s few Argentine restaurants, Buenos Aires Cafe has held its own on the for a while now. The empanadas are crusty (in the best way), and there’s a pretty big menu of meat-heavy dishes—like steaks, grilled chicken, and Argentinean sausages—all served with a tangy housemade chimichurri. The dining room is cozy, with wood-paneled walls and floors, packed full of tables that make the whole experience feel lively. And as if we needed another East Side secret to try to keep, there’s a under the restaurant called —with vintage ’20s decor and excellent amaro-focused cocktails—that you should definitely visit after your meal.
