La Boca was the dock and warehouse district, and much of that is still in evidence and much of the area is a bit dicey. At the same time, it is home to Buenos Aires’ emblematic picture-postcard tourist site, El Caminito, with its bright-color buildings, street tango demos, and overpriced, poor-quality pasta shops.
With a prime location right in front of the Boca Juniors stadium, this bodegón is an institution not only for soccer fans but for the likes of movie director Francis Ford Coppola and chef Francis Mallmann. Owner Carlitos Zinola basically chooses your Italo-Argentine menu for you, which could be steak, pasta, tortilla, pascualina tart, or a combination of them all. The neighborhood is dodgy, particularly at night—take a taxi to and from this restaurant.
Big, juicy steaks that are perfectly cooked, massive helpings of side dishes, and more ambience than you can shake a stick at make El Obrero a movie director's dream of an Argentine steak house. The neighborhood is iffy, particularly at night—take a taxi to and from (they'll call one for you).
