Most Argentines are very conservative when it comes to eating habits.... Sushi has taken a very long time to catch on and in general, ethnic cuisine in the sense we are using on this thread is considered a high-end product and is normally consumed by the better-off segments of society, generally those that are able to travel internationally, etc.
Mainstream Argentines do not normally explore with their foods, so the bottom line is that the market is not there, and getting all the required ingredients for seriously ethnic cooking is not a simple task. ChinaTown near the Belgrano area has helped a lot, but its still a far cry to what you will get in a food lovers paradise city like SFO or NYC, to use two North American examples.
Its unfortunate, but, in the ethnic foods department.... EZE is very, very pedestrian. I don't see this changing much in the short term, perhaps my kids and their generation will be able to have more of an offering but Im not keeping my fingers crossed.......
