Best Burgers in Córdoba: Nueva Córdoba, Güemes

The best burgers in Córdoba, Argentina, are easiest to find in Nueva Córdoba, the student district just south of the centre, and in Güemes, the older barrio next door known for its weekend craft fair and bars. Cerro de las Rosas, in the north of the city, adds more upscale options.

Córdoba already has its own beef sandwich, the lomito, and it sets the bar for any burger in town. A lomito cordobés is a slice of beef tenderloin in soft bread spread with mayonnaise; the completo adds ham, cheese, a fried egg, lettuce and tomato. TasteAtlas has placed it among the ten best sandwiches in the world. The National University of Córdoba, founded in 1613, fills Nueva Córdoba with students, and its streets stay busy late into the night.
