Licuados (Smoothies)

w1000-1-75

You can get licuados at many cafes and restaurants, but Baraka, in Palermo Soho, offers some unusual and interesting varieties. The photo above is a portrait of our favorites, Vehemente and Carmin, respectively. The Vehemente is made with strawberries, mango, black pepper and ginger. In contrast, the Carmin, which is very different, is made from ginger, carrots, beets and orange; perfect if you want something that is not too sweet.  Baraka is located at Gurruchaga 1450, between Gorriti and Cabrera.

The menu below describes all the options in English. Remember, the $ in BsAs means pesos, not USD.

Just how to you say “to live in a cloud made of farts”

Like every language, Argentine Spanish (called Rio Platense Spanish) includes numerous slang phrases and words that adds a richness, color and depth that tourists (and even schooled Spanish speakers) will not understand and probably not use or learn during a short trip to Buenos Aires. Nevertheless, these words are interesting to read about. A good introduction appears at the website Gringo In Buenos Aires.
