The empanada on street cafes were a mixed of cheese , chorizo , chicken and carne . Delicious. 

150 peso = 40 cents 

Eating lots of these . 





Stopped for a menu of the day at lunch time . Merluza and mash .   900 pero + 300 peso Coke zero =1200 = $ 3.50

Didn't need the food just try g thingd out really.

2700 peso = $8





Dulce leche- a sweet yoghurt . Not as the as green yoghurt but thicker than milk . 



Hot dog = pancho
