El Batara - San Antonio de Areco

Wonderful deli in San Antonio de Areco. All the meats we tried were excellent and the salami and cheese sandwich as well as the ham and cheese sandwich were excellent. The prices are great and the place simple and lovely. Would go back again if I stayed longer.

This small deli café offers a wonderful selection of local cheeses, meats, and breads. There is a small store on one side and a small café on the other side. great food at low prices.

I was there on my own, just sitting on the only table at the street eating Salami, Bondiola, Prosciutto and Cheese with an average wine. Chatting with the owner and a friend of him. Nice experience.

It is a little place with lots of salamis hanging allover. Very country style. Rustic, nice and warm decoration. They sell cheese, bread, some marmelades...and if you like it you can order a sandwich and seat in a little room or outside the shop in a bench. Its very casual.

Trading on the Italian heritage of de Areco, El batara could pass muster in Florence. It offers dine-in service on rustic wooden tables--seats about 16 total. The menu features a variety of cheeses and the Argentine version of Italian salamis, pancettas, prociuttos on fresh baguettes. It is available as a sandwich (45 pesos) or as a meat-cheese variety platter that serves two for 75 pesos. Cold beer or soda available at reasonable prices. For an appetizer, don't miss the the home-made empanadas (12 pesos each). Great place for lunch where you can easily get out for less than US $5, empanada and soft drink included. Had lunch there twice during our visit to San Antonio de Areco.
