Buenos Aires Cafe in Austin

Buenos Aires Cafe has Misohungry Now licking the bowl clean, and she's not afraid to admit it.    KatieRose

I recently visited Buenos Aires Cafe's South 1st Street location (2414 South 1st) and had pretty tasty Argentinean food. I first tried their empanadas and desserts at Tour de Vin a few weeks ago, and I wanted to try them again.

I tasted four of the dishes offered, and my surprisingly, the spinach salad (no photos) was one of my favorites. The salad combined fuji apples, candied pecans, and goat cheese with a sweet and tart vinaigrette dressing. The dark and spicy creme brulee was also delicious with a slow creeping burn. The waiter caught me licking the ramekin, and I had no shame.
