Lonely Planet review for Patio de la Empanada
It’s a toss-up between Salta and Tucumán for Argentina’s best empanadas, but they’re wickedly toothsome in both places. Locals debate the merits of fried (in an iron skillet – juicier) or baked (in a clay oven – tastier). Numerous places specialize in them, including the peñas. The taxi drivers’ favorite is Patio de la Empanada, where various stalls surround an indoor-outdoor eating area; a dozen will set you back AR$15.
