A tour of La Boca Barrio (Caminito) in Buenos Aires, Argentina
One of the most colorful and touristy areas you can visit in Buenos Aires is Caminito located in the heart of La Bocca Barrio (nieghborhood). Here you can enjoy overpriced meals, tango shows, souvenir shopping and people watching as you marvel at all of the colorful architecture. Nearby is where the Boca Juniors football club plays its home games. Overall, we feel it's worth a visit but is not an area you'd need to linger or return again.
A tour of La Boca Barrio (Caminito) in Buenos Aires, Argentina Travel Video Transcript:
So new vlog from Buenos Aires. Today we are visiting a neighborhood called La Boca. And it is know for its very colorful buildings and it is actually very touristy which means the prices here are quite high. Yeah, we just got absolutely fleeced for lunch. It was one of the most expensive meals we've had in South America and it was to be honest disgusting. But you know what we got charged one price for pasta and then like an extra five dollars for the tomato sauce. And then they charged us, with my parents, and they charged us like what like almost fifteen dollars for service. It was outrageous. Anyways, we're going to make the most of this afternoon and forget about that awful meal. Let's forget the meal and go sightseeing.
This tree has a knit sweater.
So to tell you a little bit about the neighborhood. It was settled by Italian immigrants and this area is in the southeast end of the city and it is right at the mouth of the river and that is how Boca gets its name. Boca, means mouth. Um, and yeah, there are a few streets that are very touristy; however, if you wander away from Caminito and that general area it is a little rough around the edges so we're going to try and show you both sides. Touristy Boca and regular old Boca.
So right now this is touristy Boca. Lots of restaurants. You can watch Tango shows on the street. Yes, you can pose and pretend to be a tango dancer. Yes, you can pose with football players who looks like famous football players. Yeah, there is a guy who looks like Maradona. And he even has a beer belly just like him. Impressive! And you can also buy souvenirs. There is a flea market around here and also just lots of souvenir shops.You can lighten the load of your wallet. A great place to do that.
So Sam, you don't really follow football but can you tell us who you are standing next to? I don't follow football but I know enough that is Maradona. The only and only. Maradona!
Little anecdote for us. Yes, one of the funniest comments we've had on our YouTube channel recently was during our Cholitas wrestling match. Someone said the referee looked just like Maradona. And now that I'm seeing Maradona statues all over the place and impersonators. That was a very very clever observation. He totally did. He totally looked like Maradona.
And now for a spin around less touristy Boca. Yeah. No crowds here. It's a lot quieter. A lot quieter, we're just walking along the rail-tracks. We're actually heading towards the stadium. Yes, because football is a big deal here. This is where Boca Juniors comes from. And, oh, they love their futbol. Yes, they do.
And we came all the way to Boca to meet Messi. Number 10.
So for the hardcore football fans another cool thing you can do in Buenos Aires is visit the Boca Juniors stadium. It is called La Bombonera and that means the chocolate box. I don't really think it looks like a chocolate box. I mean it is this giant yellow stadium. A colorful chocolate box. But yeah, it is right over there. So let's go check it out.
Final thoughts. Boca! Boca! Okay. I've been to Boca once before and I think one visit is probably enough. I mean, once you've seen the touristy bits there isn't a whole lot to do in my opinion. Um, so yeah nice for like half day visit I'd say. Maybe have a meal but not in the main road or you'll get ripped off. A one time only deal. One time only. I agree with you. I totally agree with you. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Good!

The Best Steaks in Buenos Aires, Argentina (feat. Samuel & Audrey)
Together with Sam & Audrey we were searching for the best Steak in Buenos Aires and we found it - here are our 2 favorite restaurants!
My guide for Buenos Aires:
Make sure to watch the second part on the channel of Samuel & Audrey:
Steak is an important part of the Argentine culture as the country is famous for its good beef. A visit to a Parilla is one of the MUST DO's when you are visiting the country. Especially in Buenos Aires you can find many good places to enjoy some good Bife de Chorizo or Lomo.
This is why we were searching for a place where the food is delicious but not too pricey. Before we filmed this episode we tried out several restaurants and steak houses (Parillas) in the capital of Argentina. At the end we went to my favorite place in Palermo and to Sam & Audres's favorite spot in Recoleta.

Our Favorite Argentinian Food in Buenos Aires at Parrilla Peña Steakhouse Travel Video Transcript:
So I know we always say we're excited about this meal but today it is extra special because we're bringing you to our favorite restaurant in all of Buenos Aires. This is a steakhouse. It is a Parrilla. That means they cook all of their meat on the grill. And it is seriously the best meat we've tried in the city. And we've ordered our favorite cut - Bife de Lomo. It is going to be amazing. We're waiting for that to show up.
So it wouldn't be a proper meal without a little bit of Vino Tinto. Yes, this is the house wine and it is actually very good for house wine. So anyways, what makes this our favorite restaurant in Buenos Aires. Well, you know traditional Argentine food is steak. And it is called Parrilla or Asado.
And this is the reason we came here. The star of the meal has arrived. The star of the meal. Bife de lomo. Look at this piece of beauty on my fork.
That is some of the most tender meat I've ever had in my entire life. You bite into it and it just disintegrates, it just melts right into your mouth. And it is so juicy and flavorful. It is just fantastic. This is the tenderloin in English. It is the best. And you know what makes this restaurant awesome. You know how you can tell you're in a really good steakhouse. They don't ask you how you want your steak. They don't say do you want it rare, do you want it medium rare, do you want it well done? No, they just make it the house way and they know what they're doing. So you get the best most optimal steak possible.
So it is now my turn. And I like to put Chimichurri on my steak.
Okay, so Sam what do you think sets Argentinian steak apart from steak in any other country. Well, Argentine steak has a reputation for being world class. It is considered one of the best steaks in the world and you know what I totally agree with that. What really sets it apart is they don't try to mask the steak with tonnes of barbecue sauce. Like if you look down here you can see. I don't know if you can see this but there is just a little bit of salt on top. What the real focus is is on grilling. Grilling it to perfection. Using the right temperature, cooking it for the right amount of time so it is a little bit crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They have just got that down to perfection. Argentine steak is just world class. There is no other way to describe it. Yeah, take that Brazil.
Okay, so we've been stuffing ourselves for close to an hour. It is time to go home. So let's do price point. Okay, so in terms of price point we're going to focus on which is basically the nicest cut of meat in the house. That entire cut of meat was 270 Pesos which was about $18 US dollars. And that was for both of us. So when you think about that kind of value you're getting $9 per person and you're eating like some of the best steak of your entire life. So incredible value and again this is just the kind of place. Like I can't recommend it enough. I would call it a neighborhood parrilla. A neighborhood steakhouse. It is the kind of place that you go into and you see mostly locals are eating at. And when you see locals eating at a restaurant like this you know it is high quality because they are going to demand it. They're not going to come back if the food is not good. You can rip off a tourist but you're not going to rip off a local. And that is all I've got to say. Come here. Goodbye.

Eating Steak in Buenos Aires at a fancy steakhouse (Don Julio) in Palermo Travel Video Transcript:
#eatArgentina
So we've ventured away from our neighborhood for today's food video. We are currently in Palermo. And we're eating at a place called Don Julio. This is a parrilla which means they focus on grilled meats. And it is a bit more upscale than the one we normally go to over in Recoleta. So it should be an interesting experience.
See if you like it Sam.
Good?
Esta bien.
So let's just take a minute to talk about the tablecloth. Yeah, so the first thing we noticed was just how like thick and durable. Like this is leather cowhide. Also, it is cool just the way that the sauces are presented here. We've got chimmichurri, we have the salsa and then over here the butter.
And show us that steak knife. Oh, yeah, this thing. This thing is incredible. This is actually heavy. I've never had any kind of knife that has felt as solid in my hands. Yeah, you can buy them at the restaurant but they're like 800 Pesos. It feels more like a dagger. It is a weapon. It is a weapon.
So we've got some bread fresh out of the oven. Look at that. I wonder if they make it here themselves because this thing is like piping hot. Ooh.
A nice way to start the meal. I just blew crumbs across the table.
Alright, so time to put the knife to good use. I'm cutting in to the bife de lomo. And this is our tenderloin which is nice and juicy. They way I like it.
Mmmmm.
Oh, wow. Honestly, that just melts in your mouth. That is probably the most tender tenderloin we've had to date in Argentina. I'd have to say. But let's add some chimichurri. Don't forget the chimmichurri. Can't forget that.
Let's see. Oh, lots of chimichurri there.
That's going to be nice and garlic-y. Flavorful.
Mmmmm.
Look at that piece of meat.
I love how easy that knife just penetrates the meat. It is just so tender. It is like cutting through butter. It is like cutting through butter with that knife.
Oh yeah. That's a nice piece of meat. Yeah, I can totally see why it is so highly rated. Now we know why it is popular.
So this is our first time having grilled veggies with steak. What do you think? Yeah, I think I may even prefer it to salad. It is just juicier and I don't know it just brings out the flavors more when they're grilled. Especially the zucchini. It's awesome stuff.
Alright, so we just finished up that meal. How are you feeling? Yeah, it was really good quality steak that is for sure. The portion was quite a bit smaller than what we had at Parrilla Pena though. And to be perfectly honest I prefer the taste at Parrilla Pena as well too. Okay, and what about the price? The price was over 700 Pesos. So this was not a cheap meal. I think we were looking at something over 50 US dollars total for the meal. But you know we are in a fancier neighborhood. Yeah. And this place is really popular with tourists. Yes. So we kind of have that coming. It is a very touristy restaurant. Yeah. But I prefer the neighborhood feel of say a local parrilla compared to somewhere like this. This was a cool experience because this was kind of our first time at a more upscale kind of grill. Fancy spot. But I definitely prefer Parrilla Pena. That is still my all-time favorite spot to get a good steak in Buenos Aires.
