Fodor's Expert Review Cantina La Maroma

The specials in this chaotic bodegón (tavern-style restaurant) are erratically scrawled on bits of paper stuck on the walls under hams hanging from the ceiling, strings of garlic, and demijohns of wine. The homemade pastas are excellent, especially the lasagna, and so are the milanesas. Portions are large—don't be surprised if you can't finish your order. Loyal customers keep coming back year after year. This is a true Buenos Aires original.
