Buenos Aires is full of great restaurants and seems like almost everyday there is a new one that has opened up. Time will tell if all these restaurants can stay in business, but at the present moment the demand for culinary options in the city is at an all time high. It is amazing to see so many of them that seem to be always full. But there are also a fair share of new places that you pass by that are dead empty. One would assume that if the economy starts to slow down some of these new establishments will have a hard time staying afloat. But one thing is for sure; no matter what economic climate Porteños are faced with, they will always find a way to eat out with good friends and good company.
Currently restaurants in Buenos Aires are becoming more creative in their style of cuisine, presentation and interior design. Lets take a look at 5 new hot additions to the Buenos Aires restaurant scene.

The phenomenon of Secret Bars has been on the rise in Buenos Aires. What is a secret bar? Well, the idea harks back to the prohibition era of the United States and the idea of the “Speakeasy.” A Speakeasy was a place where illegal alcohol was sold, where the entrance was hidden and you probably needed to know somebody in order to be let in.
The Secret Bars of Buenos Aires all take some aspects of a Speakeasy and incorporate them into their essence, whether it be through needing a password to enter or having unmarked doors. Besides the fact that these bars are downright cool, they also make for a great place to take a date or some friends that are in town visiting. Just one more reason why Buenos Aires is one of the best cities in the world! Lets take a look at some of them.

There comes a time where one craves a damn good burger. In Buenos Aires, a good burger is hard to come by. Sure, making the random trip to Burger King or McDonald’s is sufficient for some, but most of us are looking for more.

Rumor has it John Cusack is currently in Buenos Aires shooting a new film. He probably has everything while spending his time down here. Asados, empanadas, hot woman, disco dancing, 80′s music, etc. But there is obviously something missing and deep down he probably knows it. There is this little voice in John Cusack’s head telling him, “hot sauce, hot sauce, hot sauce” but he hasn’t realize it yet.
Well, the wild and crazy men of Ya Ya Bean have made it their duty to make John Cusack realize that little voice in his head is sane and rational. He really really needs some hot sauce. And hey! How convenient, Ya Ya Bean makes their own hot sauce, La Boca Roja which you can order right here in Buenos Aires and they will deliver to your door.

Every Gringo, especially from the US, is going to get a craving for some good Mexican food down here in Buenos Aires. There is actually a pretty decent selection of Mexican food in Buenos Aires if you know where to look and its getting more popular every year, resulting in new restaurant openings.
Mexican restaurants will also satisfy a Gringo’s craving for spicy food, as many of the restaurants have a solid selection of hot sauces and salsas.
The following Mexicans restaurants are places I have personally eaten at and can give an honest opinion about. I hope to explore more Mexican restaurants in Buenos Aires, but this should give everyone a good list of places to check out. Enjoy!!

Like every big city, Buenos Aires has many popular tourist attractions that can be found in every guide book or website you read about it. Many times as tourists, we go to popular tourists sites that are labeled “must sees” only to come away feeling disappointed and misguided. This post is not to say you shouldn’t visit any of the places listed, but rather to analyze if they really are a “must see” destination like so many websites and guide books say they are.
