Sorry to hear that Carlos, but just maybe it didn’t have much to do with their food – especially when you say you had a lot to drink.

I must admit I’m surprised that you found it difficult to locate Arab, or Middle Eastern restaurants here. With a Middle Eastern population of a couple of hundred thousand within BA itself, and over a million in the country as a whole, there seem to be a large number of the restaurants throughout the city. Of course, I wouldn’t vouch for authenticity – as you noted, the place on Lavalle isn’t – while I didn’t note the level of authenticity, I think I made it pretty clear I wasn’t impressed, no? If you didn’t follow up on this post, there are four more that continue the “series”, you can also see the roundup of all of them on this page.
