La Fábrica del Taco

Gorriti 5062 1414 Buenos Aires Argentina

Tasty Tex-Mex in Argentina is not common, but this place nails it. I ordered a delicious chicken burrito and was not disappointed. The cook makes everything in view, so you can see that the items they use are fresh and that items are made to order and not thrown in a microwave like some places try in the states.

This place is cash only and seems like it is priced similarly to other places in this part of town which is a bit touristy. That is not to say that it is a good value though. I speak Spanish fluently, but not the Argentinian dialect so the guy kept trying to speak English to me awkwardly. Also, I had to pay with a 500 peso note and he seemed annoyed. Sorry, not sorry.

Seats are along the wall and there is also a bench outside you can use if the sun isn’t too strong. The food is enough to come back for especially if you want some Tex-Mex, but I wish the service was a bit better.
