Frommer's Review
Certainly you didn't come all this way to eat at McDonald's, and I wouldn't ordinarily tell a traveler to eat here on vacation -- but this one is clearly unique. In keeping with Buenos Aires's reputation as one of the world's greatest Jewish centers, this is the only kosher McDonald's in the world that is outside of Israel. Rabbi supervision makes sure that kosher rules are strictly followed here. It's your typical McDonald's fare -- burgers, fries, salads, fish sandwiches, and the like, but there is no dairy at all. They also sell souvenir mugs and other items to bring home to remember your visit. Locals of all kinds patronize the place, Jewish or not. And if you only came to gawk and think you can't stand having a Big Mac without cheese, a real kosher no-no, don't worry: Since it's located inside of the Abasto Shopping Center's Food Court, all you have to do is turn around and walk to the regular McDonald's on the other side.
