The short answer

McDonald’s Argentina sells medialunas. The McCafé half of this menu is a working Argentine bakery-café: facturas by the pick, a medialuna filled with lomito and cheese, alfajores de maicena, chocotorta, and a submarino, which is hot milk with a dark chocolate bar to melt into it. The burger board runs the Grand Tasty line and a Bacon Cheddar McMelt, the McPollo handles chicken beside three McCrispy builds, and dulce de leche shows up in the cones, the sundaes, the milkshakes and one of the cappuccinos.

Count the board and the priorities are plain. On September 11, 2026, mcdonalds.com.ar listed 53 products under McCafé against 18 burgers. That is what a McDonald’s does when it has to compete with the café on the next corner, where a coffee arrives with two medialunas and nobody is rushing you out. McDonald’s Spain solves the same problem with tortilla toast and café bombón.

The grill is not a US copy either. Argentina’s premium tier is called Grand and is sized by patty count rather than by adjective, and the McMelt, the McFiesta and the McNífica are names that never ran on the US burger board. For how that compares with the rest of the chain, the worldwide menu map lines the countries up.

McCafé: facturas, medialunas and a submarino

Argentine coffee ordering has its own vocabulary, and this counter uses it instead of the global one. You order a cortado, a lágrima, facturas. The case runs sweet and savory at the same time, so a medialuna stuffed with lomito and cheese sits a shelf away from an alfajor de maicena.

Item What it is
Facturas Facturas Pick one: butter medialuna, criollo, or a factura filled with quince.
Lard Medialuna Lard Medialuna Medialuna de Grasa The saltier crescent, sold apart from the sweet one.

Cornstarch Alfajor Cornstarch Alfajor Alfajor de Maicena Dulce de leche between two crumbly discs, coconut around the rim.
Chocotorta Chocotorta Chocolate cookies, dulce de leche and cream cheese. The menu itself calls it the typical Argentine dessert.
Submarino Submarino Hot milk with a dark chocolate bar to drop in and stir.
Cortado Cortado Cortado Espresso Espresso cut with milk, 4oz.
Lágrima Lágrima Lagrima Americano 95% milk to 5% coffee in a 414ml cup. The cortado in reverse.
Tentación Cappuccino Tentación Cappuccino Cappuccino Tentacion Espresso Double espresso, chocolate and dulce de leche sauces, whipped cream.

The rest of the counter is just as deep: five frappés, five milkshakes, three poundcakes, an apple crumble, a cheesecake that comes with red fruit, chocolate or dulce de leche sauce, and two fruited waters, one with lemon, kiwi, melon and cucumber, the other with orange, mango, passion fruit and honey. Egg sandwiches come with bacon or with lomo. Argentina’s site has no separate breakfast section, because McCafé is the breakfast.

FAQ

What is a factura at McDonald’s Argentina?

A factura is any of Argentina’s morning pastries, and McCafé sells them as a choose-one: medialuna de manteca, a criollo, or a factura filled with quince. The medialuna de grasa is listed on its own, as are filled medialunas with lomito and cheese.

Does McDonald’s Argentina put dulce de leche on everything?

Close to it. Dulce de leche is a soft-serve flavor, a sundae sauce, a milkshake, a frappé, the layer inside the chocotorta, the filling in the alfajor de maicena, and one of the two sauces in the Tentación cappuccino.

What burgers does Argentina have that the US doesn’t?

The Bacon Cheddar McMelt, the McFiesta, the McNífica and the whole Grand Tasty line, which is built on a sauce the US board doesn’t carry. The Quarter Pounder is there, under its Spanish name, Cuarto de Libra con Queso.

What is a submarino?

Hot milk served with a bar of dark chocolate that you drop in and stir until it melts, which is Argentina’s version of hot chocolate. McCafé sells it next to the espresso drinks, and it is the drink most likely to surprise a visitor ordering by name.
