El Preferido de Palermo
A historic corner tavern in Palermo founded in 1952, revived by the Don Julio team and ranked 24th in Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2025.
This pink corner tavern is located at Jorge Luis Borges 2108, now run by Pablo Rivero and Guido Tassi of Don Julio fame. The signature dish is the massive sirloin Milanesa, which is so large that diners often take leftovers home; the Spanish tortilla and house-cured charcuterie are also frequently praised. The Michelin Guide lists it as a traditional establishment with a $$ price range. Booking policies vary, so calling ahead to confirm is recommended, especially for weekend dinners. Estimates put the average cost at around 25–50 USD per person, though some diners find the Milanesa a bit expensive.
