The Kosher McDonald's is located at the food court of the Abasto Shopping Mall. This building was not always a mall. In its beginings this building was the Supply Market of Fruits and Vegetables of Buenos Aires, known as Mercado de Abasto (Mercado means market; Abasto means supply).
Since 1999, this refirbushed building has served as a Abasto Shopping mall. It is also famous for being in the area where the tango singer Carlos Gardel, known as El Morocho del Abasto ("the dark-haired guy from Abasto"), lived for most of his life. Today, the surrounding area, though part of the Balvanera neighbourhood, is sometimes referred to as Abasto.
The Abasto Shopping centre is served by the adjoining underground station Carlos Gardel of line B metro (subte).
This mall is next to Once neighborhood, one of the traditionally Jewish districts of Buenos Aires. Kosher McDonald's is very popular among the orthodox Jewish community. It turned to be a meeting point at Motzaei Shabbath.
