Probando COMIDA TUCUMANA (Empanadas Tucumanas y Locro en Pan Casero) + Visitando la CASA DE TUCUMÁN

In today's video, we're going to share with you our first day in Tucumán. Of course, the first thing we did when we arrived in the city was go in search of northern food, and specifically Tucumán food! We decided to go to El Portal, a restaurant downtown that specializes in typical Tucumán dishes. We tried the famous Tucumán empanadas (we ordered them with meat, chicken, and cheese), which are small but delicious! We also ordered humitas (with fresh cheese), tamales (with shredded beef), and locro served on homemade bread. Aside from that, we wanted to try northern desserts, so we ordered a layered cake with dulce de leche and meringue, and a plate of regional sweets and cheeses. That was our introduction to delicious northern food! From there, we went to visit the Casa de Tucumán where Argentina's declaration of independence was proclaimed on July 9, 1816. That was our first day in Tucumán. In the next episode, we'll take you on a tour of Tafí del Valle and Quilmes.

Initial Order: – A liter of Salteño table wine with an ancho bread (wine with anchovy… what a spicy pun!). – Extra reinforcement if needed.
