We stumbled upon Miguel Angel's workshop on our last day in Buenos Aires, just hours before leaving. He dropped everything to take our order and made us a custom fileteado sign in only 2 hours 🤍 I highly recommend him not only because his attitude and helpfulness were amazing, but also because his work is truly beautiful ❤️🇦🇷

Needed to get a few hand painted signs done. Ran into Fileteado Porteño while walking through San Telmo. Very nice shop, the owner Miguel Angel is very kind and very helpful. He will make sure you get exactly what you need and will do it at a great price. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a large sign for a business or even a small hand painted present.
