We really liked it and have been meaning to go back. <BR/><BR/>The Civiche appetizer is quite good. <BR/><BR/>Tom: The other place is easy to walk to from the La Lucila train stop. However, it is hit or miss.<BR/><BR/>The last time we were there, they were out of limes, tomatoes and cilantro. We ordered the Civiche which was more like cold cooked fish with no flavor and smelled bad. <BR/><BR/>We sent it back and were only then told that the prices of the missing items were too expensive so they made it without them. Kind of hard to make civiche without lime!<BR/><BR/>I do recommend Frida Kahlo though.<BR/><BR/>Pablo is right. I don't think many porteños think highly of spicy food.Longhorn Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092022293080936270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149143459060182122.post-87480228556514589162007-12-12T13:31:00.000-03:002007-12-12T13:31:00.000-03:00Never take seriously any comments on mexican/spicy...Never take seriously any comments on mexican/spicy food from argentinians..

I am curious to try out this place.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is a really good Peruvian restaurant in Belgrano I was there last week; it is called "Primavera Trujiliani". I am kind of on a mission now to try out Peruvian food.<BR/><BR/>http://www.manjitbedi.com/weblog/peruvian_food_in_buenos_air.html<BR/><BR/>ManjitUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17388944075536686933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6149143459060182122.post-83019114568454293152007-12-12T09:26:00.000-03:002007-12-12T09:26:00.000-03:00Great post!

We have been meaning to get up to La Lucila for Mexican food after you recommended it but it is a trek at night and now we don't have to. 2. You have given us a reason to try Frida Khalo again--and because it is just around the corner it is so convenient!<BR/><BR/>Do you have time for coffee this afternoon? Give me a call. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>TomUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893355042233902846noreply@blogger.com
