7 editor picks in Buenos Aires.
Street eating in Buenos Aires centres on the choripan and the empanada, sold from grills, markets and weekend ferias. Chori in Palermo Soho on Thames and Choripaneros de la Costanera Sur in Puerto Madero work the sausage-sandwich end, while El Sanjuanino in Recoleta runs the empanada side. The weekend markets carry the rest, with the Feria de Mataderos and the San Telmo food stalls on Defensa drawing the crowds.
