A Guide to Argentine Street Food

Argentine street food is what you eat outside a stadium or after a night out. Choripán, grilled chorizo in bread with chimichurri, is the classic; empanadas are the portable lunch; the lomito is the steak sandwich with ham, cheese and egg. Milanesa, the breaded cutlet, works in a sandwich or on a plate, fugazzeta is Buenos Aires' onion-and-cheese-stuffed pizza, and garrapiñadas are the caramelized peanuts sold from carts in every plaza.
