Denver's Best Argentine Restaurant

BEST ARGENTINE: Buenos Aires Pizzeria
2191 Arapahoe Street in Lodo
303.296.6709

Not only is Francis, the owner, one of the coolest guys around, he'll also open his private basement and invite you down to watch Boca Juniors and Argentina National Team matches!

He owns the pizzeria as well as the Argentine steakhouse across the strett, which is much more formal and great for big meat dishes. You never know when one of the Rapids' Argentine players will be there for a taste of his homeland; also check out the flattened wine bottles on the walls...pretty cool.
But the pizzeria is where it's at for some of the most unique fare in Denver, featuring empanadas, Milanesa sandwiches, and of course pizza. Just like the Argentines like: heavy on the meat and cheese, and nothing is spicy.

What to order: the empanadas, in any combination. Just oder 5 or 6 and call it a meal. Dont' forget to douse them in the restaurant's own chimichurri, which is awesome.
