About this spot
Wimpy in San Telmo serves as a nostalgic anchor for Buenos Aires' burger scene, offering the iconic local favorite: a fried egg on top of a classic cheeseburger. This historic spot captures the city's mid-century vibe perfectly, proving that you don't need to travel to London or New York for an exceptional fast-food experience.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Hamburguesa con Huevo' and be prepared for the egg to slide off if you aren't careful with your bite.
- Expect a casual counter-service atmosphere where seating is often limited, so grab a quick table before ordering.
- The fries are thick-cut and crispy; ask for them extra salty as they tend to be lightly seasoned.
