The aroma of locro, asado, and freshly baked pastries will fill Recoleta this long weekend as a new edition of Sabores de la Patria arrives —the food festival that brings you some of the most tempting dishes to enjoy in Buenos Aires during fall and winter. The event takes place on May 24 and 25, with free admission.
The Argentine festival that turns Recoleta into a giant Creole courtyard
For two days, the park in front of the Buenos Aires Museum of Fine Arts turns into a colonial courtyard to host a food festival that makes you forget the May chill. Celebrate May 25 by eating locro, regional empanadas, humita, tamales, grilled meats, picadas, and traditional sweets, all accompanied by live music.
Sabores de la Patria returns to Buenos Aires on May 24 and 25 to celebrate Argentina’s most authentic cuisine, right during the weekend commemorating the May Revolution, with food stalls, food trucks, and chefs specializing in regional cuisine and traditional dishes.
Asado, locro, and regional dishes from all over Argentina with free admission
One of the main highlights of this festival celebrating the May Revolution is the meat section, where you can enjoy sun-grilled strip steak, flank steak, skirt steak, pork shoulder, matambre, chorizo steak, and offal,
And in addition to regional dishes like locro, carbonada, humita en chala and al plato, tamales, potato cake, lentil stew, or fried cassava, there will be no shortage of pastries and homemade churros either. Have you ever tried mazamorra, rice pudding, or buñuelos? At this national fair, you will.

In addition to the food, Sabores de la Patria will surprise you with live DJs playing Argentine rock and a market featuring regional producers with cheeses, cured meats, dulce de leche, and yerba mate.
