Insider tip
It is small, so the sandwiches and the medialunas go early. Take a bag of pretzels for the mate later, which is what the regulars do.
The area
Saavedra is right out at the northern edge of the city, residential and unhurried, with a big park at its heart and almost nothing aimed at visitors. You come here because something specific is worth the trip.
