Came here for the first time tonight with my husband to celebrate our anniversary. Everything was amazing! Service was so unbelievably friendly and sincere. Our server had great recommendations. We tried the empanadas, gnocchi, salmon and the milanesa. Highly recommend! So happy to add another stellar restaurant to our rotation.

The food was ok. My ribs were rare when I asked medium well. Too much fat on the ribs made it non appetizing. The piece of flank steak was flavorful and the meat was perfectly cooked. We ordered Parillada for 2.

Their flan is the best flan I’ve ever had in my life.. melts in your mouth goodness! Their mashed potatoes are so fluffy and well seasoned. El Che is also a must order (it’s enough for two people) and is served on a cute mini grill. Also, their mojitos are great and the sangria too. Don’t debate on going.. just go! You won’t regret it.

Terrific service, drinks and empanadas!
The meat leaves a lot to be desired - all entree's were way over cooked, medium rare came out well done - that was the case for all six of us dining together.
Pick and choose wisely!

Enjoyed our experience here! The host and server were wonderful and the atmosphere was festive with the music playing next door. I enjoyed the patio dinning and even though it was hot when we walked up the patio was the perfect temperature. The staff did everything they could to make our visit wonderful and I definitely will come here again

A surprise homerun with the tortilla de espinaca, perfectly cooked picanha, chorizo three ways w an outstanding morcilla (blood sausage) were the highlights of the meal.
There was a guitarist for live music as well.
Delicious food and delightful company; a great night out.
If you get one appetiser, get the tortilla de espinaca.

Went to this Argentine place the other day with my wife and son. They took forever to get us some drinks and menus even though we were the only ones in the restaurant (were there at 5pm). Our server was good in the end but the nightmare started when they brought us our food…
We ordered two medium rare pichanyas and one piece on the plate was good but the other one was well done. When I pay 30 dollars for a steak I would expect it to be done accurately or I would ask to get another one. We asked to remake one of them and asked to keep one of them so that we can start our meal. But they wouldn’t let us keep just one and insisted on taking both back to the chef. We said ok and waited. Next the supervisor came running trying to prove to us that steaks are ok and shining his phone on them. Never had this experience in any fine dining places! They argued with us for about five minutes at which point steaks got cold and we didn’t want to make a fuss anymore and asked to keep the steaks and leave us alone.
Then through the night supervisor came and then a manager came asking us to recite what happened again and again. We said we don’t want to deal with this issue any longer but the just kept bothering us while we were eating.
In the end we ended up paying for all the food we got, had disruptive night, and a horrible experience! My 16 month old cried at one point when the manager came for the third time and we had to tell the story again and again.
Why do you keep coming to our table if you are not going to do anything about it? Did not replace the steak, did not take it off the bill, or offered anything else. Just kept nagging us.
I am attaching pictures of the steak. You be the judge if it’s medium rare or not.

The food was delicious. Ordered 3 empanadas, 1 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 spinach w/cheese. Filled generously, the beef was my favorite. Good flavor, moist and portioned well. Veggie lovers, the spinach w/cheese complimented eachother well. But definitely order the portabello mushroom it was delicious with the sauce. The sauce had a hint of chile just enough to flavor,but not spicy. Main course course dishes looked good but would have been too much for this outing. Great wine selection.

Hands down a great restaurant! Fresh and delicious food! Hot and fresh bread rolls! Great for dates and groups! Amazing dishes and main courses! The pictures don’t do justice, but I highly recommend these restaurant and their big brother Tango Sur! Never disappointed here! Be prepared to wait a little bit but it’s worth it!
