American-Founded Taco Restaurant Brand in Buenos Aires — Two Complete Restaurants for $39,900
A build from zero in Buenos Aires in December 2021. Four-plus years later, it's an established brand with a loyal customer base, strong delivery presence, and proven operational systems. I'm a US citizen who no longer lives in Argentina. The business runs — but it deserves someone who is genuinely invested in its current and future success, not managing it from abroad.
This sale includes two complete restaurants. Not one restaurant and some extra equipment. Two fully equipped restaurants under a proven brand.
Restaurant 1: Operating
Open and generating revenue today.
Full commercial kitchen: hot line, plancha, fryer, oven, refrigeration, extraction, prep stations
Dining room seating 40 inside + 20 outside (60 total)
Bar, air conditioning, POS system, camera and sound systems
Hbbilitación (operating permit) active at the address
Two key staff members included: an administrator who runs the entire day-to-day operation and an executive chef who manages all production. Both have 3+ years with the restaurant.
Restaurant 2: Fully Equipped — Must Relocate
This is not just a kitchen. Restaurant 2 is a fully equipped restaurant with everything Restaurant 1 has, plus a complete production kitchen with capacity to produce for 5+ locations (or other brands). The location must be relocated due to a building restriction at the current address — the business performance was never the issue.
Restaurant 2 did $222,701,744 ARS (~$148,500 USD at 1500:1) in gross sales in under 9 months before closing because of previously unknown building restriction. The equipment is installed, functional, and ready to be moved to a new space of the buyer's choosing. The Caballito neigborhood would be ideal.
What the buyer gets: a second complete restaurant plus a production kitchen capable of supporting a multi-location operation. Pick the neighborhood — the restaurant is ready to go.

Why $59,900?
Building a single restaurant from scratch in Buenos Aires — without a brand, without a customer base, without 1,400 Google reviews, without trained staff — costs more than this and takes years. For $59,900 you're getting two complete restaurants, a production kitchen that can supply a multi-location operation, and a brand with 4+ years of track record. The price is firm.
Why I'm Selling
I'm an American who built this business abroad. I no longer live in Argentina. The business runs well — it has a strong administrator and executive chef who have been with the restaurant for 3+ years. But it would reach its full potential with someone who is present and invested in growing it further. After 4+ years and a successful second-location expansion, I'm ready for a clean exit. This is not a distressed sale.
Ideal Buyer
Someone based in Buenos Aires (or relocating), with hospitality experience or capital and trusted management. This is a multi-location opportunity — the second restaurant is fully equipped and the production kitchen can support 5+ locations.
For an American buyer: $59,900 is less than a food truck costs in most US cities. Here, it gets you two complete restaurants with a proven brand in one of South America's most popular cities.
