What is the "Balcarce pena cover charge and tourist menu overpricing" scam in Salta?

Question

Accepted Answer

Folklore dinner-show penas on Calle Balcarce add a per-person cover/'cubierto' for the live show and charge well above other penas, with the surcharge and inflated prices often not made clear until the bill arrives. Ask whether there is a cover charge (cubierto/show) and see prices before sitting, check the printed menu, and compare a few penas on Balcarce since prices and value vary widely between neighbouring venues.
