Always on the lookout for really good, unpretentious eating — and easy parking — we recently stopped by the new Little Patagonia , by 29th and Guadalupe.
Why it matters: Argentina faces Colombia in the Copa América final on Sunday at 7pm, and if you want the immersive experience of rooting for Lionel Messi while dining on food he himself might enjoy, this is the place for you.
The scene: Nifty rustic , with butcher-block style tables sharing space with sleek chrome empanada displays and a couple of televisions perfect for watching a game.
- Little Patagonia shares a lot with the now-shuttered Flamingos Vintage, so we're calling it a mini -strip-mall, and thus confirming our theory that joint parking lots oddly correlate with yummy eats.
What we ate: Beautifully flaky, scrumptious empanadas (they run from $3.20 to $3.95 apiece) — a minced lamb with sautéed onions and a tuna with green olives, onions and hard-boiled eggs were our favorites.
- The queen of the meal was the choripan, a chewy chorizo sausage sandwich ($13) served with tangy chimichurri sauce in a crisp baguette roll.
Six-word review: Root for Messi while stuffing face.
