Café Retiro
This cafe is part of the Café Café consortium and, as such, there is nothing spectacular about the food, but it is high quality, consistent, and inexpensive. You'll find a great range of coffees and teas, as well as desserts and sandwiches, perfect for a quick bite before catching a train. The main point of dining here is to enjoy the restored elegance of the original cafe, which was part of Retiro Station when it was built in 1915. It is now one of the cafés notables,the interiors of which are considered historically important to the nation. The marble has been cleaned, the bronze chandeliers polished, and the stained-glass windows have been restored, allowing a luminescent light to flow in. This cafe is ideal if you are taking a train from here to other parts of Argentina and the province, such as Tigre, or if you've come to admire the architecture of Retiro. (From Frommers)

Locro for Lunch
Locro (from the Quechua ruqru) is a hearty thick stew popular along the Andes mountain range. The dish is a classic Ecuadorian cheese and potato soup from the Ecuadorian cuisine. This is also a plate for the Peruvian cuisine, which at one point held the center of the Inca empire. It typical also in Argentine prepared by the different native Indian tribes at a time of the Spanish conquest. Its origin dates to before the Spanish colonial times.
The defining ingredients are corn, some form of meat (usually beef, but sometimes beef jerky or chorizo), and vegetables. Other ingredients vary widely, and typically include onion, beans, squash or pumpkin.
In Argentina it spread from the Cuyo region to the rest of the country. It is considered a national dish and is often served on May 25, the anniversary of the May Revolution. (From Wikipedea)

Ravioli Bolognese
Really good pasta in an interesting restaurant. Real Bolognese sauce made with small chunks of meat instead of ground meat. The sauce had just a little bit of fresh tomato and lots of beef stock flavor. Best I have ever had.
