Madrid in Buenos Aires: The tapas bar with a 100% Spanish menu that has conquered a corner in the city

Casa Luis offers a traditional Spanish tapas experience in Buenos Aires, emphasizing authenticity and community.

Casa Luis, a new tapas bar in Buenos Aires, has introduced authentic Spanish cuisine to the neighborhood of Caballito Norte. Opened in April 2025, the establishment was founded by two friends, Matías Torreta and Matías Debole, who previously had success with the Feca Café de Especialidad. The ambiance replicates a classic Spanish bar, with patrons enjoying cañas (draft beer) and a variety of croquetas in a social setting that encourages conversation and interaction among guests.

The bar's unique features include a long counter where the ritual of tapas is celebrated, offering a full Spanish menu without any fusion twists. Casa Luis aims to provide an experience reminiscent of Madrid, complete with the sounds of bar chatter and a lively atmosphere that resonates with Spanish culture. The location, near the Ferro Carril Oeste football stadium, adds to the community vibe, making it a popular meeting point for locals.

This initiative is part of a broader trend of culinary establishments in Buenos Aires that seek to bring authentic international flavors to the city. Casa Luis not only enriches the local gastronomy scene but also serves as a bridge connecting Argentine culture with Spanish traditions, reflecting the influence of Spanish immigration in Argentina and enhancing the dining landscape of Buenos Aires.
