Fonda Argentina San Jerónimo
Fonda Argentina San Jerónimo is a restaurant in Álvaro Obregón that specializes in grilled meats and traditional Argentine dishes. The setting is straightforward with wooden tables and chairs, and the focus is on hearty meals like various meat cuts, salads, and simple sides.
The restaurant was founded in 1993 when an Argentine wanted to share his favorite dishes, initially cooking on a simple grill outside his workshop. This modest beginning grew over the years into an established restaurant that later expanded into a chain with multiple locations across Mexico City.
The restaurant carries the name of Saint Jerome and reflects the Argentine tradition brought by its founder to this neighborhood. Visitors experience an informal setting where the aroma of grilled meat and simple decor evoke the culture of Argentine asados.
The restaurant is located directly on Avenida San Jerónimo in the Jardines del Pedregal area and is accessible by public transport or car. It is advisable to make a reservation before visiting, especially on weekends, as service may slow down during peak times.
The restaurant started as an improvised grill spot outside a workshop, where the founder attracted neighbors who asked to join the meal. This communal beginning from the early 1990s shows how an informal gathering evolved into an established place for good food.
