When brunch time begins to melt into lunchtime, and hunger strikes, there’s only one thing to do: head down Avenida Belgrano to La Salteñita for empanadas. Far from the standard fillings of the average Argentinian empanada, these flaky pockets have fillings as creative as orange juice, ham and pineapple, or cheese and trout, and they’re all made to order.
