About El Cuartito
El Cuartito is at Talcahuano 937, near the Teatro Colón. In its own words it was born in 1934 in a tiny triangular room on Talcahuano as a wine and beer counter, and its fame was built without advertising, generation after generation. Order a slice of muzzarella at the counter, standing, as the regulars do.
