The guide’s ranking · Buenos Aires

Best Choripán
in Buenos Aires

The Choripán is Argentina's ultimate street food—a grilled pork sausage (**chorizo**) split down the middle and served on a crusty roll with a generous dollop of **chimichurri** (garlic, herb, and vinegar sauce) or **salsa criolla** (onion, pepper, and tomato). It is the soul of the football stadium and the roadside "carrito." Order a **"Chori"**. Specify that you want it **"con todo"** (with everything) to get the full condiment experience. The trap is buying a choripán at a sit-down "fine dining" restaurant where it’s overpriced and lacks the "char" of the street; the best ones are eaten standing up. You will find the best ones near the river or stadiums.

A "gourmet" take on the classic; their "Chori Ahumado" and "Chori de Cordero" are outstanding.
