While Argentina’s food might not be as well known as the country’s love of tango or Lionel Messi’s left foot, this South American cuisine is way more varied than steak and wine. Much like in neighboring Peru and Brazil, Argentinian menus have Spanish, Italian, African, and Indigenous influences. And in LA, you can find great options for freshly baked empanadas and dulce de leche desserts, along with, yes, great parrillada with peppery chimichurri and excellent wines. Here are nine fantastic Argentinian spots to get you started.
