Insider tips for Thai food lovers

If you’re in Buenos Aires, try "Baan Thai" on Gorriti. It’s a little spot where the owners often chat with customers, sharing how they prepare their curries and soups.

One tip: don’t miss the morning market near Belgrano on weekends, where you might find fresh Thai spices and herbs. If you want to experiment at home, grab some fresh lemongrass and galangal there, they’re sometimes imported by local Asian markets. And be sure to ask your server what’s their spiciest curry – you might discover something that surprises you because they know how to keep it authentic but suited for local palates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Thai food in Argentina? Here are some answers from someone who lives here.

Yes, especially in Palermo and Belgrano, where you’ll find places run by Thai chefs or expats. These spots tend to have more authentic dishes than typical fusion joints.
Usually, restaurants tone down the heat a bit because Argentines prefer milder flavors. But don’t hesitate to ask for more chili; many places are happy to spice it up if you request.
It’s rarer but not impossible. Cities like Córdoba and Rosario have a few Thai spots, mostly small family-run places or restaurants offering Asian cuisine more broadly with some Thai dishes.
Good restaurants definitely try to import fresh herbs like kaffir lime leaves and galangal. Some make substitutions locally, but the best places bring in authentic ingredients whenever possible.
Pad Thai is popular, but you’ll also see people ordering green curry, tom yum, and seafood stir-fries. Beef is standard here, so fusion dishes appear sometimes, but the classics remain favorites.
They vary, but most mid-range Thai restaurants in Buenos Aires are reasonably priced given their quality. A meal for two at a good place often runs about what you’d pay at a solid Argentine grill.
