Bife de Lomo @ Rodi
Vicente López 1900 Buenos Aires, Capital Federal
In the US and Europe, what is often seen as the best cut of beef is the filet mignon. In Argentina, the same type of meat (beef tenderloin) is Bife de Lomo. The difference being that many times, you'll find that they cut the meat from left to right rather than up and down. So instead of a single tiny puck of buttery meat, at times you will get 2 almost strips of this perfect meal. Many times, you'll get what would be two filet mignon type cuts, which is often the case at Rodi Bar, considered by many to have the best Bife de Lomo.

Alfajores @ Confiteria Norte
Vicente López 1627 Buenos Aires, Capital Federal

The tasty treat is a simple flour vanilla biscuit, stuffed with dulce de leche, and then usually rolled on the sides in coconut. Chocolate covered options are also popular. You'll find brands such as Cachafaz, one of the most popular brands, in ever kiosk market, and chain stores like Havana are popular. But for the best experience, one should try a bakery where you know they are fresh, soft, and perfect.

Lechon @ Casal De Catalunya
Chacabuco 863 Buenos Aires, Capital Federal
Lechon is a whole roasted small pig. You'll find it many of the best parillas in Buenos Aires as well as specialty places like Don Lechon. But for a good lechon experience, one can try Casal de Catalunya, a Catalan (Spain)/Argentinian location that prides itself on it's superb lechon...so much that they cut it with nothing but a plate to show how tender it is.
