    The owner of this restaurant is a true treasure! Speaking five languages, Claudia charmed us with her delicious food, welcoming hospitality, and generosity. You will never leave this restaurant hungry.! Our server, Ryan did a great job of making us feel welcome and taken care of. Thank you for a wonderful evening in Buenos Aires!

    Open less than a month, this place is the epitome of South American charm and hospitality. The owner Claudia greeted us the minute we walked in and suggested a big booth up front. She was quick to point out all the little nooks in the restaurant if patrons want to have a leisurely game of cards or chess. Before even looking at the menu, she suggested the Taste of Argentina option—an epic sampler plate of all of her favorites, including empanadas, chicken Milanese, Argentinian pizza and the list goes on. After the fifth course of small plates, we were all stuffed. But the food kept coming, including her homemade raviolis. She finished us off with a smattering of her homemade cakes and tortes. Best $35 I've ever spent. If you're in a hurry, this isn't the place for you. Everything is prepared to order, so our lunch was a leisurely two-hour culinary adventure. I'm tickled to have stumbled across this place, a perfect mix of sweet and savory options. (And ladies, there's a fab tea service, if that's your jam.)

    What a delightful restaurant! We lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina and have been looking for authentic Argentine food in KC. Look no further!!! The empanadas are to die for … perfectly prepared “tapas de empanadas” filled with tasty beef - just like I remember. The lomito, choripán and milanesa sandwiches were very generous and quite tasty. Authentic chimichurri (could use a bit more salt) made it even better! We wrapped it up with some alfajores and left quite satisfied. I had called earlier to inquire about reservations and spoke with Claudia the owner. At the end of our meal, she called me and asked how we like it! ¡Excelentísimo!

    What an awesome and unique restaurant. Not only was the service amazing, I mean super friendly and helpful, but the food was amazing. Empanadas, lomito steak sandwich and the deserts were outstanding. Adding to my KC visits moving forward. The homemade chocolate with pistachios crushed on top...wow!!

    I celebrated my 9 year anniversary with my wife at Buenos Aires Restaurant. The food is good and the owner Claudia is very nice. I am glad to have an option for Argentinean food in the Johnson County area. I highly recommend the Beef Empanada. So good that I had to order some to take home. Don't hesitate to try out this restaurant. (I also loved the shrine to Messi!)

    Beautiful restaurant! The Taste of Argentina is delicious and SO FILLING. She just kept bringing more food and we ended up taking so much home! The coffee was very good as well.

    Delicious food, warm hospitality, and an inviting ambience — this restaurant truly stands out. This was my second visit. I went with a friend the first time and immediately fell in love with this gem in downtown Shawnee. I was especially impressed by the passion of the owner, Claudia, for the food she serves. Today, I brought 10 friends with me. We were treated to multiple courses of delicious food. The cherry on top was the dessert plate — the best chocolate cake and cheesecake in town. It’s a perfect spot for a party of two or ten, an afternoon snack or a Sunday brunch, and an authentic Argentinian, Spanish, or even Italian meal.
