There are actually two restaurants under this name (Cabrera 5099 & Cabrera 5127) because it is SO popular among tourists - and for a reason! Good meat and unique side dishes. Always packed with tourists, great ambience and waiters speak English. Long wait times, but if you go there early you are in for a surprise: every night from 7pm – 8pm they offer a “Happy Hour” menu where everything is 40% off. YES, EVERYTHING.

Named after the town of Faimallá, know as the Argentine capital of empanadas, this place offers traditional recipes from the province of Tucumán, in the North of Argentina.

There are 5 tables to sit, or you can order to leave (by phone or whatsapp, as well!). https://www.facebook.com/famailla/
