empanadas salteñas

Posted by Ryan (Buenos Aires, Argentina) on 23 February 2008 in Food & Cuisine.

Here they are - supposedly some of the best empanadas in Argentina. I did love them, especially at this restaurant - juicy, chopped meat (rather than ground), full of potatoes cooked in the spices as well (the defining feature of empanadas salteñas), and served with hot sauce - but I think overall, I'd have to say I enjoyed the empanadas in Tucumán even more. Still, this did not stop me from enjoying every bite of these.
