In Caf de los Viejos Tiempos, the owner

was extremely nice. He treated us like

family, joked with us, and yet, served us

promptly and neatly. When he took our

order, he memorized our orderno need

for a notepad with a memory like his. The

presentation of the food was very formal

and fancy. The atmosphere was darker-lit,

featuring posters of different rock groups

such as The Beatles and The Rolling

Stones. The background music was Latin

Pop featuring bands like Camila and Sin

Bandera. Once more people came to the

restaurant, the owner turned up the lights and everything was much livelier, but relaxed. As we walkedinto the restaurant, we saw a few tables; however, once we acknowledged the booths on the far end of the

restaurant, we headed straight there. They had three round booths that felt comfy and private. I almost

forgot that we were in Argentina for a bit, mentioned Stephanie. If you want a calm place to escape, this

is definitely the caf to be at.

The torta de chocolate, or chocolate cake, was very

delicious and scrumptious, according to Paola and

Charmaine. The two-layer cake had dulce de leche

(caramel) in the middle. Although it wasnt as soft as

American cake, the thin layer of chocolate frosting

with white chocolate on top made it unbelievably tasty.

It was a huge piece; bigger than a typical piece served

in America! The serving was about the size of a

cheesecake slice from The Cheesecake Factory. It

appears on the first page of the menu as torta, and it

cost 18 pesos. It was very worth it!

Because of the cold temperature, Paola also decided to

try the Caf de los Viejos Tiempos drink, which

contains coffee, dulce de leche liquor, rum, and shaved

chocolate. The liquor was very strong, which made the

drink a little unpleasant however, it definitely warmed

up the body.


2/7

The way the menu described the pancho reminded

Jeremy of bruschetta on French bread, but in the

end, it turned out to be a Panini-ed hotdog with

mustard. It was literally a hotdog with a hotdog

bun and covered with mustard. The price was 12

pesos.

The pizza was really good according to Lauren

and Stephanie. I really liked the sauce-to-

cheese ratio because there was very little

sauce. The cheese was really good, also. There

are few olives that come on it, but they are

easily removable. The pizza served eight people

and cost 35 pesos.

For the hot chocolate, Submarinos, it was very

delicious. It was bitter without the sugar, so

make sure to add the sugar in it. It was really

thick and chocolatey, and for some reason, once

you add the sugar, it turned creamy.

Overall, we give Caf de los Viejos a 10/10. The owner told us not to tip him, just because he

was the owner. He was very accommodating and welcoming. We definitely recommend going

back to this restaurant.
