About us
The Salteño is more than just a food truck—it’s an invitation to experience the heart of Argentina through its most beloved street food. Founded by Alejandro, a chef from the northern city of Salta, we specialize in crafting authentic, hand-made Argentine delicacies that transport you straight to the bustling streets of Buenos Aires or the quiet corners of Salta. Our menu features a variety of mouthwatering creations, each filled with traditional ingredients, spices, and flavours that define Argentine cuisine. From savory pockets of perfectly spiced beef to cheesy delights and everything in between, every bite is a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of our homeland. At The Salteño, we don’t just serve food—we serve a piece of our story. Each dish is carefully prepared with love, bringing together the very essence of Argentina’s culinary traditions. Whether you’re enjoying one of our classic favorites or trying something new, we’re here to share the taste of Argentina with you. Our passion for great food and connection with people is what drives us every day. We believe that every meal shared should be an experience, and we’re excited to bring the warmth and flavours of Argentina to New Zealand’s streets, one bite at a time.
