I know it has been pretty difficult to follow us around Argentina.
The lack of time to update you everyday has been compensated only by a few direct post.
This is one of them! We are in Salta.
And we will stay here until the 26th.
I wanted to tell you how I have enjoyed this restaurant! It is located in the heart of Salta.
I was accustomed to been served creamy cheese and bread or spicy mayonnaise and bread.
Here they have distinguished straight away bringing beans and bread, then proposing a tasty lemonade with ginger and peppermint.
Lemonade with ginger and peppermint
The greatest surprise has been the tabla andina you can see here below.
In the pic: 2 kinds of fried potatoes, tamales, humita, lama meat balls (I have not eaten them, Laura did it), 2 quinoa burgers
By the way excellent tamales! 😋
And friendly staff.
Humita
We have laughed like crazy because the waiter who attended us understood that I was asking for lemonade and vinegar and later on I was about to fall from my chair when asking for the bill!
No, I was not drunk but it has been been a very funny moment anyway 😅

To make it short, should you visit Salta I definitely recommend you to stop to Aires Caseros 😋 and enjoy any kind of local specialties!
Aside from the Llama meatballs…is there much in Argentina for vegetarians?
Not that much, it seems that they are the the greatest carnivors of the planet. I will have to admit that the meat is very good and has a different taste. I assume because here lots of animals are free but as an ex vegetarian I would have appreciated more vegetables. I hate to say that but the variety that I have found in Italy i have not found it anywhere else. On the other side I am not the one who when is abroad is looking for pizza and pasta and I am enjoying to eat the local dishes. I fell in love with Humita and tamales 😋😋😋
