Buenos Aires Cafe

After reading several rave reviews about this place, we had to try it for ourselves.  Warning:  The south Austin location is really, really tiny, the wait is long, and they don't take reservations.  However they will call you when your table is ready if you arrive and leave your name and number.

The empanadas are a must try.. the fillings are flavorful and the crust is so fresh and flaky. ($2.49 each)
The Canelones Caseros (handmade herb crepes) were covered in a delicious sauce. ($12.99)
The Gnocchi Quartet included gnocchis in pumpkin-cinnamon, sweet potato-chipotle, cilantro-jalapeno, and potato herb flavors.  The decision to mix various veggies in with the gnocchi was great- usually gnocchi starts feeling very heavy very fast, and the veggies counterbalanced it well.  ($12.99)

So sad that we had no room left for dessert.. the dessert menu looked amazing!
