Honest verdict on Tucumanas — good but not exceptional

Tucumanas here was solidly made — simple and honest without anything to complain about. ají amarillo was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

salteñas are distinct from Argentinian empanadas with a juicy broth filling. The a market lunch counter atmosphere was pleasant enough. cola morada was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Tucumanas this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
