When it comes to the best street food in Buenos Aires look no further than the choripan. Basically, as simple as chorizo stuffed inside a bread bun it is the ultimate Argentinian street food experience that is friendly on your wallet. To sample Choripán Argentino we headed past Puerto Madero to an area where they had a plethora of street food stalls cooking up all kinds of different Parrilla. If youre in Buenos Aires and seeking out a budget meal we highly recommend checking out this area for a quick bite.\r

So I think it is time to get ourselves a Choripán for lunch.\r
\r
El chori era tuyo?\r
\r
Si.\r
Gracias.\r
\r
Tada. Come here.\r
\r
Para llevar. No necesito un plato, pero gacias.\r
Okay, ready.\r
\r
So they have lots of different toppings but the right way to do this is with Chimichurri. So were going to put lots of that. Lets add it on the bread to make it a little less messy.\r
\r
Pica.\r
\r
Si. Mi gusta picante. Si. \r
\r
Ah, bueno.\r
\r
Maybe a little bit on the meat. Theyre warning me that it is spicy. This is good. Yeah. All set.\r
\r
So we just got ourselves the quintessential Argentine street food snack. Have a look at this - the Choripan.\r
\r
Yeah, this is the best street food youre going to find in Buenos Aires. Yeah, so choripan gets its name because you basically have chorizo which is a sausage and then you have pan which is your bread. So put the two words together and youve got Choripán. Haha!\r
\r
And we put lots of chimichurri on ours because we like things spicy. So Im just going to dig right in because this looks so so good.\r
\r
Yeah, we were thinking of getting two but then we saw someone else order. We saw the size of the choripan and were like you know what were just going to start with one.\r
\r
Yum. Look at that. Look at all of that sausage. Mmmm.\r
\r
That is so good. Wow. Im really enjoying this right here. And you know what. You can grab this from a little street food cart. You dont even have to go to a restaurant. Like were just walking along a park. We saw a whole row of those carts, went up there, they cook it right in front of us. And two minutes later it was ready. Im going to let you try some Sam. \r
\r
So Sam this is your first time trying choripan on this particular trip. Yeah, I think I had it like a long time ago. Maybe five or six years ago but it has been such a long time that I honestly kind of forget what it tastes like.\r
\r
So this is an exciting moment. Dig right in.\r
\r
Wow. How is that?\r
\r
Yeah, like you said that is a really good quality sausage. A really good Choripán. Yeah. And sorry I should say chorizo. A really good chorizo.\r
\r
And what really makes this good as well is that the quality of bread is high.\r
\r
Yeah, and just before they served it they put the bread on the grill just to kind of soften it up a bit. Give it a bit more you know a smokey flavor as well. A bit more of a smokey flavor.\r
\r
And what do you think of all of the Chimichurri because people were looking at us like woah that is spicy. I think they were doing that because they thought we were you know foreigners and oh man theyre making a mistake but we like our food spicy so the chimmichurri gives it an extra kick and I recommend you definitely put on some Chimichurri. Maybe not as much as us but definitely try it.\r
\r
Final thoughts then. What did you think of your choripan? I thought it was amazing. And that is by far the cheapest meal weve had in Buenos Aires since weve been here. That came in total for the one massive Choripan. That came to 25 Pesos.\r
\r
So if youre looking to pickup choripan where can you find it in Buenos Aires? Okay, so there are stands scattered across the city in different neighborhoods but today we are Avenida de Los Italianos which is kind of like Puerto Madero just before you hit the Ecological Reserve. So lots of stands in the area and you can find a lot more than just Choripan. Lots of different types of street food while youre out here. So we highly recommend it. Check it out.\r
