Empanadas
Argentines take their empanadas seriously, and many insist that La Cocina serves some of the very best in Buenos Aires. This tiny, no-frills spot in Recoleta is almost always packed, often with locals who come for its exceptional baked empanadas inspired by the flavors of Catamarca.
The menu is simple but memorable, with each empanada crafted to deliver bold, comforting flavors. The signature option is a must-try, but the playful Pikachu has earned its own following—stuffed with a rich blend of three cheeses, onions, and a gently spicy sauce.
Unpretentious and full of character, La Cocina captures the essence of Argentina’s deep love for empanadas in every bite.
