Simple restaurant with very authentic food. Good wine menu, including some upmarket brands. Traditional Andean food including stews, empanadas, tamales. Desserts were not great, too big and not elaborate. Service is correct. More seating upstairs, quieter than downstairs.

We live in Miami but my mother in law used to live in this neighborhood, for years she would always talk about this restaurant and their excellent empanadas. Finally my wife and me had the opportunity to come and experience the great food and service, the empanadas are amazing and the pizza’s are delicious! You can tell that they use the best quality products, we would definitely be back and also recommended it!

This place is the best in regional food. Excellent service and fair price. The only down side is the lack of soud proof when you dine-in, the ambient noise is terrible.

One of my favorite places in Buenos Aires, because of the northern Argentina dishes. Amazing empanadas here. El Fortin is a MUST.

Delicious food and very kind attention. Due to pandemic they do not use all the tables. You may also seat outside. Besides delicious traditional dishes from the north of Argentina, like tamales, locro, humita en chala, you have to taste empanadas, specially cheese and onion version ( one of the best empanadas you will find in Buenos Aires) You find even pizza at the menú. I highly recommend to taste the amazing desserts. My top three favorites are Quesillo con cayote, zapallo en almíbar, and flan casero. Place is a bit noisy sometimes, and at peak hours you may wait outside for a while, but it worths to visit often if you are local, or at least once if you are turist. Very good prices and top quality.

Delicious empanadas with all the authentic, home made "salteño" taste, absolutely delicious and recommendable. A real find in the heart of Nuñez area!
