Kosher McDonald's Review

I wouldn't ordinarily advise a traveler to eat at McDonald's on vacation, but this location is clearly unique: it's the only kosher McDonald's in the world outside of Israel, underscoring Buenos Aires's reputation as one of the world's great Jewish centers. Rabbi supervision makes sure that kosher rules are strictly followed here. It's typical McDonald's fare -- burgers, fries, salads, fish sandwiches -- except that no dairy at all is served here, and the meat is charcoal-grilled, rather than fried. They also sell souvenir mugs and other items to bring home. Locals of all kinds, Jewish or not, patronize the place. If you only came to gawk but still end up craving a Big Mac without cheese, a total kosher no-no, fret not: You're in the Abasto Shopping Center's Food Court, so all you have to do is turn around and walk to the regular McDonald's on the other side.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
