Are you living in Palermo? We just found out where our apartment is: on Av. Cerviño in Palermo. It’s supposed to be about 2 or 3 blocks from the American Embassy. Know anything about the area? Particularly if that Mexican restaurant you mentioned is near. We are arriving 16 January.

“Mole” is another great Mexican restaurant in Belgrano. You can request the super spicy salsa. They also do delivery for 5 pesos. It’s Subte accessible.
