This award goes to a small restaurant in Buenos Aires by the name of, "La Cupertina". The atmosphere feels like being in an old kitchen. Initially we were not sure if we were in the right place since the door was locked and there did not appear to be any customers in the restaurant. Turns out you have to be "buzzed" in and we barely beat the lunchtime rush as customers came pouring in shortly after we arrived.
Now I have had empanadas before, but La Cupertina's are the best I have ever had. The standard beef empanada is offered and tastes great, however the two types embedded in my eternal empanada loving soul are the corn and the ham & cheese. The corn one is my favorite and just had this warm sweet corn taste to it, have never tasted anything like it. The ham & cheese was also very good and had the added twist of having a little bit of sugar sprinkled on top. Man, I am making myself hungry!
All I have to look forward to now are Julia's Empanadas in DC, which are larger and pretty good but not on the same level.
