Taste Saltenean Empanadas

Salta's empanadas are widely considered Argentina's best, and for good reason, with fillings like spiced beef or goat cheese cooked in clay ovens. A single empanada costs around 600 Argentine pesos, which is 25% cheaper than the average price in Buenos Aires. This offers a more authentic experience than visiting Iruya's limited eateries, where you'd find similar variety but at a 15% higher cost. The dough's flaky texture and the use of local cumin set these apart from regional rivals like those in Tucumán, which are typically fried. Each bite delivers a burst of flavor that outperforms #10's simple mountain fare, making it an essential culinary stop.
