Barragán describes itself as Buenos Aires' first lonchería, serving a Mexican-inspired menu that combines traditional dishes with specialty coffee. Its neighborhood cafés occupy quiet street corners and offer an all-day brunch menu, from morning through late afternoon.

Served on artisan sourdough toast, it features a creamy corn and egg spread, generous slices of avocado, crispy fried corn kernels, and fresh herbs. Flavorful, hearty, and full of character, it's one of the menu's most popular dishes at any time of day.

Also, if you're craving something sweet, you can enjoy it with apple crumble or a delicious Lemon Pie, which is a treat.
