El Perón Perón

"If the name doesn’t tip you off, photos of Eva and Juan You-Know-Who, crammed into every available space, announce this restaurant’s campy (though not entirely tongue-in-cheek) political sympathies. No matter your ideological bent, you’ll enjoy PP’s exquisite versions of traditional Argentine stews, grilled meats, and freshwater fish. Menu items bear humorous names related to political trivia you probably won’t get, but you might learn the words to a peronista march diners and waiters intone every hour, on the hour. Order the braised osso buco with polenta or the grilled pacú (a freshwater fish) with potatoes, tomatoes, and capers. By Travesías"

Gonzalo Alderete, chef of Peron Peron, shows me how to properly eat an empanada. We also have grilled pacu (pa-koo), the cousin of the toothy piranhas, except they seem to have human teeth! Finally, we dine on a steak that falls right off the bone.
