Pepito

[El Queso]

Located very near the corner of Corrientes and Montevideo, about a quarter-block from Corrientes on Montevideo.

This is a nice neighborhood restaurant. Fairly well decorated, bright, with noise-suppression foam on the ceiling so that even crowded, it is not too loud to have a conversation.

It is medium-priced - right in the range of not too expensive, not cheap. It has good parilla and good pasta. My favorite is the matambrito de cerdo, which is nicely grilled and covered with some herbs, certainly the best I've had in BA. The service is excellent.

Also, to add, they have two good plates that are worth trying - pollo a la naranja (chicken in orange sauce) and arroz asafranado (safron rice with [usually] bonelss chicken).
