El Cuartito

Empanadas- a couple of blocks away from the cemetary.

El Sanjuanino Posadas 1515 by Callao- I think the emapanadas were 1.50 P a piece. I had 3-one pollo, 2 carne spicy.

5P -real nice snack to hold me for 2-3 hours.

Oddly located in a very fancy area.

Regards.

I will be there Tomorrow, my report will be forthcoming. I hope you guys know what you are talking about. I have searched far and wide for good pizza, I have also looked for consistantly good empanadas. This place sounds really good.

I love this place. It's got a diner type of atmosphere and cheesy posters of various sports stuff--mostly boxing and futbol--all over the wall. I was jonesin' for something spicy and tried the Atomico pizza which has something akin to pepperoni, lots of cheese, probably tabasco and slices of red pepper on the top. Good times, though I'd trade in the surly waiters for some friendly chicas any day.

I eat here at least once every two weeks, and would be more often if I was still in Barrio Norte. Hard to beat. Caveman01 has been eating here since he was a little tire biter.

Dogg is a shrink, they are always looking for deeper meaning hence additional value. 16 pesos for a small calabresa, if your still hungry augment, like boobies, with a portion or two of another kind. The locals like to drink a mix of beer and orange fanta, I'll be sticking to coca cola. For all you pepsi haters they have coke, not the Romina sniffing kind but the DR drinking kind.

The CUARTITO is a classic in the neighbourhood!

For many years is had been a non expensive place where you can go if you want to eat good and don't have much time. You can ask for a "porcion" and a glass of wine or beer and ate it on the counter.

That was 20 years ago, more or less.

Lately it became a a kind of family place. The saloon gets bigger and now it's already a classic.

That no good septic tank Daddy Rulz has taken me here twice and I would place the pizzas here in my top 2 of all times.

Value for money this place rates a 9+.

Definitely worth a visit if you like pizza's.

I ate at El Cuartito on Saturday evening with an Argentine. We had 4 pieces of pizza each and 3 litres of beer. We tried the onion and cheese, spinach and cheese, plain cheese and the tomato sauce and anchovy pizzas. All were very tasty and fresh from the oven. There were few empty seats in the house. Total bill for 2 was 41 AP. I am definitely going back.

I ordered the pizza "atomico", which actually was tasty and remarkably picante for Argentine food. Although most of the heat came from tobasco sauce, it was still pretty good with a LOT of cheese and a layer of crushed red pepper under the cheese. Unfortunately, this is one of the selections that is NOT available by the slice, and even though the "chica" was 16 pesos it was more then I could eat.

Went here tonight. Thought it was just okay. Service was spotty. Pizza is different from the flat ass norm. Dough is yeastier. Empanadas generously sized but burned on the bottom. Pricing is good from a Dickhead standpoint.

Would I repeat? Yes but would not repeat the empanadas even though they are a good value. Better empanadas to be had. Stick to pizza here. Also I think the available combos are unimaginative. Best idea here would be to order by the slice and try a few different things, IMO.

Yep, the place is really good. Very large and hectic, but excellent thick pizza.

With really fresh ingredients. The small is plenty for 2 large men and the cost is about 12-14 pesos. My favorita is the napolitana with ham and fresh tomatos; this has become the take home next day trysting menu with the main favorita.

Stormy,

Funny you mentioned the next day leftovers. The porteno I was with today said that most locals don't do the boxed take home. He didn't say why, and I didn't ask. Must be a point of misplaced pride, what with the economy being what it is. Or maybe something else entirely?

Had lunch here today with my porteno buddy, who is on top of all the best decent, but cheap restaurants in Barrio Norte. This place is at Talcahuano 937 (4816-1758) Near Marcelo de Alvear. Essentially an old Italian style pizzaria place. Loaded with locals for lunch and dinner. The "chica" pizzas ran from 12p to about 18p tops, and were huge. Enough for two assuming one of you is not starving. The big pizzas are monstrous. Best pizza since I can remember when. Highly recommended, with mucho local flavor, and for sports fans, many boxing posters from the 60s-80s that I had never seen.
