Doña Salta
A casual, old-school spot beside the San Francisco church, where wood-oven-baked meat empanadas and locro stew are the most popular orders.
Find it at Córdoba 46, right next to the San Francisco Church, a few minutes' walk from Plaza 9 de Julio. The dining room is crowded with wine jugs and old wooden farm tools, and the waiters wear traditional gaucho outfits, making it lively and family-friendly. The signature is wood-fired Salta empanadas, along with humita, locro and other Northwestern home-style dishes at very fair prices. It is one of the most-reviewed restaurants in Salta. Mealtimes can be busy and you may need to wait, but reservations are generally not necessary.
