Known throughout Latin America, piropos are especially prevalent and practiced in Argentinas capital city of Buenos Aires. Considered one of the most elegant cities in the world, its women are acknowledged as some of the most charming and beautiful in Latin America. A piropo is an expression of gratitude for that beauty. They are even celebrated in Tango music, as illustrated by the antique sheet music cover on the front of this menu. Ask your server for our What is a Piropos card.

Special Piropos Seafood Dishes (pescado a la porTena)

where is arGenTina anyway?

Kansas City is located 5,604 miles (9,016 kilometers) from Argentinas largest city of Buenos Aires. If you were to drive, which you could, at an average 50 miles per hour it would take about 112 hours. Its easier to fly but it would still take 11 hours and 33 minutes assuming weather and connections all worked out perfectly. A long way to go for dinner! The time zone in Buenos Aires is only two hours ahead of Kansas City. Thats why Argentines dine so much later than Kansas Citians.
