Tip: people eat late here. If we made reservations before 10pm we were early. This just gave us an excuse to eat breakfast, lunch, a snack (appetizers and wine, anyone?) and then a full dinner before staying out all night.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lafabricadeltaco.com\/\">La Fabrica del Taco<\/a>\u00a0&#8211; a more casual stop on our culinary tour of the city, but located in trendy Palermo, a good option if you&#8217;re in the mood for some tacos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.osaka.com.pe\/palermo\/\">Osaka<\/a> &#8211; a delicious Peruvian restaurant located in the Palermo neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sipanrestaurants.com\/\">Sipan<\/a> &#8211; need a slight break from South American food?
