(2) The prices do not reflect the cost of living or average salaries in Argentina so the same cup of coffee is considerably more expensive relatively speaking
I'd agree on both accounts.

At the location near Plaza(parque?) Armenia in Palermo yesterday it was probably 80/20 locals to tourists. Very busy the entire 3 hours I spent there working. Lots of frapuccinos being ordered. Me, I just liked being able to get a decent drip coffee, and a big one at that.
