About this spot
In the bohemian heart of Villa Crespo, La Carnicería serves massive cuts of beef that define Argentine dining culture. Expect to order a whole asado or share a kilo of chorizo while watching the grillmaster work his magic over open flames. The rustic brick walls and communal tables create an electric atmosphere where locals gather for hours.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order a 'tabla' (platter) to sample multiple cuts like picanha and bife de chorizo before committing to a whole side of beef.
- Bring your own wine or ask the staff to open a bottle from their extensive Malbec collection, as they often charge a corkage fee for outside bottles.
- Arrive early in the evening or book ahead, as the restaurant fills up quickly with neighborhood regulars and tourists alike.
