Argentine food is really good. Prices are about the same as Belgrade. But you have to get used to the menu: the local pesos are marked as $, and when they ask for $5000 for a cup of coffee, it feels weird. Though that's around 3 euros.
The coffee is excellent. Even in sketchy places it's pretty decent. Though sometimes you order an espresso and they bring an Americano instead. And they're surprised when you point out it's wrong. In places that serve real espresso, they'll warn you 10 times that it's a very small portion.
The famous steaks were sometimes just so-so. Depends on your luck. The prices are reasonable, but expectations were different. Though this place had one of the best steaks I've ever eaten. Highly recommend it.
And I really loved the empanadas. They're kind of like chebureks. Guess I got a little nostalgic.
Restaurants often bring you a bread basket and add it to the bill. Not always for reasonable money. And it doesn't matter if you actually tried the bread or not. Of course, they don't warn you about this beforehand.
At a couple of restaurants with Russian roots, you could pay with crypto. The owners claim they even pay taxes on it :)
In stores you often find condensed milk (it's very popular here). And beer in liter glass bottles. I didn't even know those existed.
