“Love the ambiance, definitely not too noisy or quiet. The food was impeccable. We ordered the party plate which was waygu beef with fries and we ordered a side of asparagus. Guillermo was our server and was very helpful and worked with me to make this birthday celebration special. He sent a dessert to the table and overall was knowledgeable and pleasant. I look forward to returning!”
“Our first time here, our server Geneva L genuinely made our entire night! The service and vibes were excellent. She made us feel special! This spot is a must stop! Food insane, we will 100% be back”
“Great food and service. Highly recommend steak and frites.”
“So great. Chefs table was a bit hot but the staff were super accommodating to a single diner - allowing me to try lots of options without feeling stuffed or wasting food.”
“We had an amazing experience at El Che Steakhouse & Bar. The atmosphere is warm, intimate, and perfect for a special night out or group dinner. One thing that really stood out is that they offer three halal steak options, which we truly appreciated. The steak was cooked beautifully tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned with that signature smoky char. We also started with empanadas, which were crisp and delicious, and the sides complemented the meal really well. Dessert was rich and indulgent, the perfect way to end the night. Service was attentive and welcoming, and everything from start to finish felt thoughtfully done. Highly recommend especially if you’re looking for a high-quality steakhouse with halal options.”
“Pricey but delicious. Didnt appreciate the "admin fee". The service & food very nice .”
“We went here for the happy hour and ordered almost everything on their happy hour menu! All the food we got came in good portions, packed with flavors and absolutely delicious. We got the grilled oysters, empanadas, chorizo, lobster and frites, steak and frites and got the caipirinha from the drink menu. Would be to return for a full dinner experience!!”
“dined in for our 8yr anniversary and it was such a lovely & delicious meal! the bone marrow was smokey and melted soo good on the toast, my filet was perfectly cooked and came with dada sauce (which i'm still not quite sure what it is, but regardless it was really good!), and the beef empanada was crispy and savory! also had some of the BEST fries i have ever had, i am a huge fry fanatic and these were outstanding!!! amazing evening and the staff were all super attentive and kind 😊 truly a wonderful experience!”
“Service was excelent! Open kitchen so you can feel the real Argentinian experience. Drinks were good, the food was very tasty the only thing was we ordered a bone-in rib eye medium and we got it almost well done. And in my opinion a little bit over priced. Other than that everything was great. Still recommend!”
