FOOD · AVENIDA CORRIENTES · 2026
The whole menu, the real prices, and the one decision that changes what you pay: eat standing at the counter or sit down.
There is a queue outside Güerrín most nights, and it moves faster than it looks. The sign above the door has said Casa fondata nel 1932 for more than ninety years, and the place has never moved from Avenida Corrientes 1368, in the middle of the theatre district.
Here is the thing nobody puts online: Güerrín does not publish its prices. The menu on their own website is a design file with the prices removed, and the figures that circulate in the Argentine press are all reprints of the same survey from January 2026, which is now well out of date. So we went and read the menu.
Everything below comes from the current menu, checked on 7 September 2026. All prices are in Argentine pesos and include tax, which is what you actually hand over. Argentine prices move, so treat these as the shape of the bill rather than a quote.
The two ways to eat here, and why it matters
This is the decision that changes your evening.
At the counter, standing. You walk in, you order a slice at the counter to your right, you eat it standing up with a paper napkin, and you leave. No queue for a table, no waiter, no cover charge. This is how most porteños eat at Güerrín on a weekday, and it is by far the cheapest way in.
In the dining room, sitting. Upstairs and at the back there are tables and waiters, and you order whole pizzas by size, grande or chica. The prices below are the dining room prices. A grande comfortably feeds two people, sometimes three if you add a starter.
If the queue outside looks long, look again: much of it is for tables. The counter usually has room.
The menu: house pizzas
These are the classics, the ones the place is known for. Prices are per whole pizza.
| Pizza | Grande | Chica |
|---|---|---|
| Muzzarella | $39.500 | $33.200 |
| Fugazza (onion, no cheese) | $34.800 | $29.200 |
| Fugazza con muzzarella | $49.900 | $36.500 |
| Fugazzetta con jamón y queso | $53.800 | $39.800 |
| Napolitana (mozzarella, sliced tomato, garlic) | $44.200 | $33.600 |
| Especial Güerrín (mozzarella, ham, peppers, olives) | $51.500 | $38.400 |
| Especial de la casa (mozzarella, ham, fresh tomato, olives) | $50.900 | $35.800 |
| Anchoas (anchovies) | $35.800 | $30.400 |
| Pomarolla | $37.300 | $30.400 |
| Verdura con salsa blanca (greens, white sauce) | $43.100 | $31.700 |
| Paloma (tomato, anchovies, pepper, olives) | $47.600 | $36.000 |
| Panceta y muzzarella (bacon) | $52.400 | $39.500 |
| Panceta, muzzarella y huevos fritos (with fried eggs) | $56.700 | $43.400 |
The fugazzetta is the one to order if you order one thing. It is the thick onion and cheese pizza that Buenos Aires claims as its own invention, and Güerrín's version is the reason the place gets written about.
The Roman line
A newer, separate section of the menu: square, thinner, crisper, single size.
| Pizza | Price |
|---|---|
| Margherita (mozzarella, tomato, basil) | $48.500 |
| Pepperoni | $48.500 |
| Moderna (mozzarella, prosciutto, grana padano, rocket) | $53.500 |
| La Bonfanti (tomato sauce, mozzarella, onion, smoked bacon) | $54.900 |
| Picante (mozzarella, bacon, basil, jalapeño) | $57.200 |
| Gran Bologna (mozzarella, mortadella, blue cheese, basil) | $60.200 |
The specialities
A long section built on one premium ingredient each. Roughly $60.000 to $73.000 for a grande, and $45.000 to $57.000 for a chica, across five families:
- Cured ham, from ham and mozzarella at $61.300 up to ham and prawns at $72.200
- Tuna, from $61.800 to $66.800
- Gruyère, with onion and tartare sauce or with mushrooms, both $60.600
- Cream and mayonnaise, with turkey and capers, asparagus, or prawns, $70.800 to $72.200
- Mushroom, from $60.600 with provençal up to $93.400 with octopus or with prawns and pineapple
That last pair, at $93.400, are the two most expensive pizzas in the house.
Fainá, and why it arrives with your pizza
If you have not eaten in an Argentine pizzeria before: fainá is a flat chickpea-flour bread, baked in the same tray as the pizza and cut into wedges. It is not a side dish in the usual sense. The local move is to put a wedge of fainá on top of a slice of pizza and eat the two together, which is called a caballo, on horseback. It is on the menu at Güerrín and it costs a fraction of a pizza.
Nobody will mind if you skip it. But it is the single most Buenos Aires thing you can order, and it exists in this form because of the Genoese who arrived in this city and opened places like this one.
Practical information
Where. Avenida Corrientes 1368, between Uruguay and Talcahuano, in the theatre district. The nearest subway is Line B at Uruguay.
When. It opens around midday and serves late into the night, later on weekends. Güerrín does not publish its hours on its own website, so check the current day before you go if you are arriving late.
The queue. Earlier is quieter. The pressure points are before and after the theatre shows, roughly 8 pm and again from 11 pm, when Corrientes fills up. A weekday lunch is the calmest the place gets.
Paying. Argentine restaurants routinely charge more for cards than for cash, and prices move faster than any printed menu. What is on the wall the day you go is the number that counts.
What a night out actually costs
| If you are | Order | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| One person, in a hurry | A slice at the counter, standing | The cheapest way in |
| Two people | One grande muzzarella | $39.500 |
| Two people, going properly | One grande fugazzetta con jamón y queso | $53.800 |
| Three or four | Two grandes, one classic and one speciality | $95.000 to $115.000 |
Getting there and getting home
Güerrín is on the busiest stretch of Avenida Corrientes, which is wonderful at eleven at night and difficult to leave. Parking on Corrientes is not realistic, and the theatre crowd empties onto the street at the same time you do.
If Güerrín is one stop in a longer evening, the practical version is a car that waits: dinner on Corrientes, then the Obelisco, then a tango show or the hotel, without standing on a corner at midnight competing for a taxi with four hundred people who just left a theatre.
