Los Cabritos
Argentineans love beef, but one of the best areas for goat is Villa Quilino in northern Cordoba. In Salinas Grandes, an important breeding area, goats are fed only milk from their mothers, which graze on mistol fruit, carob tree and wild bushes. The result is a white, tender meat traditionally grilled “a la llama” or “a la estaca.” The entire goat is grilled on a metal cross over an open fire for hours. Every January, thousands visit Villa Quilino for the national “Cabrito” (small goat) festival. In Cordoba, a few restaurants specialize in goat. One of them is Los Cabritos, where they not only serve traditional grilled goat, but they also serve pasta.
