Try the famous mate tea, Che Guevara's favorite, or a classic cortado coffee with a dessert made with dulce de leche. In the evenings, enjoy traditional empanadas or picada, accompanied by vinto tinto. The decor is inspired by the era of Evita Peron, with comfortable couches and armchairs and different styles for each table, which are placed around the dance floor. Chandeliers and gold-framed photographs, depicting dancers, musicians and poets from the history of tango, complement the atmosphere.
