Well, while it’s true that most of the spots around Estación Once tend towards “meh”, our favorite of the casual homestyle cooking spots in Once is right up the block from La Conga at Sabor Norteño. But there are more that are higher quality close to the Abasto – Chabuca Grande and Mamaní come to mind. Plus over there you’ve got the more upscale spots that aren’t as homestyle, like Quechua. You can check out my map of all the spots reviewed here on the blog, at this link.
