“This establishment offers a delightful ambiance. Although the service was a bit slow due to the high volume of customers, the empanadas were exceptionally delicious; I particularly enjoyed the shrimp empanada. The entraña, a cut of meat, was incredibly tender, and with a touch of chimichurri, the flavors were truly outstanding. It is a lovely place to visit, romantic and tastefully decorated.”

“Great atmosphere, live music, excellent service and awesome food”
“Loved the skirt steak here! A very friendly restaurant/bar serving great steaks at reasonable prices. We were surprised by live music, which was very good! So good we even got up to dance at the behest of other patrons who were very welcoming. The highlight food wise was definitely the Entraña with fries. Just a really well treated piece of meat. I would highly recommend giving this place a try, especially on a thursday night.”
“Coming to this place for the last 15 years, the best churrasco and chimichurri sauce in the city!!! Authentic Argentinian taste!”
“This restaurant has been here for 34 years and I can see why! The staff was super kind and helpful in answering our questions. Before you order, they bring out bread with a side of chimichurri and a spicy sauce. Three of us split 3 empanadas and the Parrillada Argentina Para Dos Con Camarones which also came with two sides. The meat was all grilled and also served on a tiny grill! It was plenty of food and we had some meat left over. It was all delicious. The meat was grilled and seasoned to perfection and had so much flavor! I also had the caipirinha which was yummy. 10/10 would visit again! My parents loved it as well!”
“Really good food , I enjoyed the cocktails. The service was great. We’ll definitely return.💕”
“Nice place, dim lights. Live music on Thursdays the waiter said. Food, empanadas are crispy, fresh, and good. The place wasn't busy on a Sunday night which was good. Desserts 🍪 delicious.”
“It's been years since I was here and the food is as good as it was then. They have some of the best tasting Empanadas in town. I had the sweet bread, Krispy and very good.. The Entrania is nicely seasoned and huge, and the chimichurri is great! I highly recommend this place.”
“I haven't been here in years, but on several occasions she smelled garlic when we drove by and agreed we'd visit. Last Friday was the night. We ordered four different empanadas. She had the steak and I had the chicken accompanied by a few beers. We were the only ones there which is never a good sign for. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice as ever. but the flavors in the food were lacking. The pictures look great, but only the spinach empanadas made the cut. Luckily the sauces were still on point. My chicken was a little dry and didn't have a lot of flavor. Her steak looked beautiful but also didn't taste like much. It could have just been a bad time of the day but the flavors weren't there for me even when I tasted them as leftovers the next day. It was $140 tab for a meal we didn't really enjoy.”
