Cafe Buenos Aires had good service, and a lovely setup for outdoor dining on a pleasant evening. The menu has a nice range of appetizer and entree options, and they serve up quite a few wines and cocktails too. But I'll be honest, my meal fell a bit flat. I got the flap steak medium rare. The temperature was wrong (it came out closer to medium well), and the sides were disappointing. The mashed potatoes were the right texture, and the sautéed veggies looked good on the plate, but both seriously lacked any seasoning. They were so bland, the only part of the meal that had any flavor was the bleu cheese on top of the steak. Everything else was plain. Overall, I was expecting a bit more for an Argentinian place on the pricier side. It was fine, just not a meal that stood out to me.

Gnocchi

The restaurant was very nice inside and had a lot of seating. The staff was very kind between me waiting for my party and sitting. The waiters was also great and checked on us often. I was here for a work dinner, so we ordered many things to try. To start we ordered a white and red sangira. I only had the red and it was good, but I do prefer mine sweeter than this, as I am not a fan of wine in general. For our tapas I tried the dates, octopus-pulpo, carne skewer, and calamares fritos. The dates were very good, with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory. The octopus was cooked perfectly and seasoned amazingly. The carne skewer was very tender, but I do want to note that the bacon is not crispy, as it is baked on the skewer, which I surprisingly loved. The calamari was also perfectly cooked and came with a great sauce. For my entree, I had the gnocchi. It was also perfectly cooked and the ingredients contrasted each other amazingly. The sauce was very light and creamy, the goat cheese added the perfect creaminess and tang, the mushrooms added some earthy flavors, and the shirtrib added some fat and protein. The dinner portion was large enough for me to take half of it home. For dessert I shared the crepe. If you like sweets and caramel this is perfect for you. It's a crepe filled with dulce de leche with a couple slices of caramelized banana and vanilla ice cream on the side. Overall the food and service was great, so I will be coming again with family.

Parrillada Mixta
Ronald L.

Was here with the family and we ordered the Almejas, Stuffed Clams, and Pork Belly (special) for appetizers. While for our entrees we ordered the Skirt Steak and Mixed Grill for 2. All 3 appetizers were delicious, especially the pork belly. It had a texture of butter, and the polenta too melted in my mouth. The Skirt Steak and its accompanying roasted vegetables were wonderful, as was the tomato salad it came with. Though the tomato used was underripe, it was still enjoyable. As for the mixed grill, every piece of meat well overcame my expectations, save for the beef rib. Unfortunately while incredibly flavorful, it was so chewy to the point of almost being inedible. This aspect and the fries being a bit undercooked is what's keeping my review from reaching a 5. The service and ambience otherwise was all perfect and I would ask nothing more of them.

We took my daughter here for her birthday and whoever the chef is he or she knows what they are doing. I. Had the Octopus -Pulpo which is grilled octopus with white beans and potatoes that was melt in your mouth tender. 1 Ropa Vieja (braised beef hash) A++ 2 Gambas Alajillo (sauteed shrimp and garlic sauce) A 3 Ostras (oysters Rockefeller) A+ 4 grilled octopus with white beans) A I'm not going to leave out our waitress Samantha who was outstanding.

This restaurant has been around a long time and for good reason. I have been coming here for many years. The food is always excellent with daily specials that add to the excellent selection. The staff is always circling and checking on you. The place is spacious allowing it not to be too loud even with a good amount of people. I love the tapas way of eating giving you a myriad of different foods throughout your meal.

Perfect vacio asado (flap steak) , my fave choice when craving steak in Huntington.
Greg F.

One of my favorite places to dine in Huntington Village. My wife and I have been coming here since 2009 and it has never let us down. I don't get a craving for steak that often, but when I do, one of my favorite meals is their vacio asado (flap steak), perfectly cooked medium rare with blue cheese, Malbec reduction, mushrooms, peppers and onions, and mashed potatoes, washed down with more Malbec of course. You must try it! Other winning dishes I've had over the years include the ribeye special (for our anniversary dinner a few years back), the paella and seafood special, figs in Serrano, garlic shrimp, canelones, etc. I recently tried the almejas (clams with chorizo); a couple were a bit too chewy but the flavor and broth were amazing. For cocktails, I have enjoyed their caipirinha and sangria, and they make a great pisco sour, but really, what you want to drink here is the Malbec, which goes perfectly with the food. Sometimes we come here just to sit at the bar and sip some Malbecs.

Sweetbreads w/ Sundried Tomatoes, Artichoke hearts & Garlic 12-1-2019
Christina J.

Sweetbreads! So hard to find but when you do you hope they taste like this! Had a Groupon. Well worth the money. Son & I came here on a Sunday around 3pm. We were the only customers so the service was awesome. Vodka tonics were on point also. The small plates were all delicious but the standout for me was the sweetbreads! So tender and sooo flavorful! The best I've had out in a restaurant to date. The empanadas were all good. The mixed grill was a bit pricey for $72 but enough for several meals afterwards. The short ribs were my favorite. The lamb chops were a bit gamey. The black sausage was a little bland. But the steaks & grilled vegetables were outstanding. Definitely will be back! Visited on 12-1-2019

We had good and hearty meal last night at Cafe Buenos Aires! The owner Hugo came over and talked to us for a long time about Buenos Aries since we will probably visit his hometown in March. Waitress was great and the food is excellent!! The seafood special has mussels, clams, filet of sole and calamari rings. The broth was tomato and coconut milk and had a lot of flavor without being overpowering. BF had seafood paella with mussels, calamari and rice. The sauce was delicious!! I love coming here!! 9/15/19 This is a great hangout for Huntington Village. Hugo wasn't here tonight so it wasn't a stellar plus the waiter wasn't as great as Chelsea but the food was delicious!! We had ceviche and octopus and they were both as good as ever and Bf had the paella with seafood. Sauvignon blanc was perfect too!! My only complaint is the waiter was wearing too much cologne. When you are working as a food server, lay off the perfume and cologne. It interferes with the food taste 11/27/19 Again the waiter was wearing a bottle of cologne and it DID interfere with the food. Where is Chelsea when I need her. . We ordered a red wine from Argentina and the kids and Bf enjoyed it. We had seafood paella, mussels, octopus, ceviche and the kids wanted sausage so they gobbled that up. It was a good dinner but not amazing like the first time.

Best dish of the night! Flan!
Cary R.

It pains me when I have to give a restaurant a low rating. We arrived at 6:30 as always parking was insane in Huntington. They didn't have any tables available so we were given one by the bar a pretty small table but we took it. We had to keep our coats on as every time some came in or exited we were hit a blast of cold air. So small table plus coats for the entire evening so uncomfortable! It was restaurant week and it was a better option so we went with that. Appetizers Spinach Gnocchi- Tasty! Better than expected due to reviews. Just the right amount of truffle oil where it's overpowering. Gnocchi cooked perfectly. The cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms yum! Only let down was the baby scallops it's bread and fried and then place on top. It was so soggy! Beef and Chicken Empanadas- Also were tasty!!I preferred the chicken it was nice and juicy. The apps took 35 mins to come out! At that point they weren't too busy so I was surprised how long it took. Entrees Seafood Paella- Yikes the rice was wet but very hard. It hasn't been cooked all the way so it was hard,grainy and crunchy with each bite. Not good! Seafood that was over cooked! Just a big miss of a dish! Lemon white wine sole and shrimp with mashed potatoes- the combo didn't work for me but just a personal preference. The sauce on it was good but there wasn't much leaving the fish and mashed potatoes so dry! I asked for more on the side what I received was melted butter. I used my fiancées drink lemons to add some acid to it. Again, another dish that was a miss. Entrees Took an additional 40 mins to come out. Dessert Flan- absolutely a must! Delicious with a side of dulce de leche yum! Bread pudding with ice cream- this one fell flat. We are big bread pudding fans! It was very dry no sort of sauce on top but I assume that's why they serve it with ice cream. Drinks Red sangria- Yikes the reviews were way off! It tasted like bottled juice! No fruits inside definitely didn't taste homemade. All these great reviews made me think one of these two things- it was an off night or unfortunately these people haven't had a good sangria in their life! Hahaha! My fiancée ordered an unfamiliar cocktail that was made with the incorrect alcohol. Great service on this end they changed it quickly and also noticed he was unhappy with it and came back with another on the house which tasted much better! Our server was sweet but definitely inexperienced which is fine but she could've used some help. Some hits but way more misses. Perhaps an off night ? I mean they have all these stellar reviews?! Overall, I won't be back left pretty dissatisfied.

While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.

What you just have to be aware of is that if you are looking for Italian pizza, this is not Italian pizza. It might look like it, but if that's what you're used to in looking for, this might taste a little off, but it's not off, it's just different, some different seasoning in it. Not as much my thing, but approaching it for what it is, this is more than not bad, this is a good spot. You can go a few blocks up and have Domino's and struggle not to regurgitate for several hours afterwards, but this would certainly be a better choice than that. I would say give it a try, you might even like it more, different people have different tastes, but the quality is good and the service is excellent and the prices aren't bad at all, so while it might not be entirely my thing, I can still recommend it.

I really wish you would open a butcher shop here too. Long Island does not have a good Spanish butcher, and that is one of the things I miss most about living in Queens, the amazing food and butchers. Life really came full circle when I got to bring my 10-month-old son here, and he loved everything . The food is always so fresh and full of flavorful. The morcilla is rich , creamy and perfectly seasoned( they make the best morcilla I age ever had) and the empanadas are my absolute favorite with their flaky golden crust and authentic homemade taste. The meats and sides are just as incredible. The Russian potato salad is creamy and refreshing, the potato with parsley has that perfect balance of simplicity and freshness, and every bite of meat is tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chimichurri ties it all together with bright garlic and herbs that make every dish pop. Thank you for staying consistent all these years. The food is always seasoned perfectly and made with care. I also love that you still serve the free appetizer of fresh bread, cheese, salami, and tomato. It is such a classic touch and still one of my favorite parts of the meal.

Back home, I was used to order empanadas of many different flavors and get them delivered whenever I had guests or I didn't want to cook. I was so happy when last year I found out about Jackie's Empanadas On the Go! I immediately placed an order and went to pick up my empanadas from their kitchen in Stamford (not a front store). I ordered frozen empanadas to stock up my freezer. They came with baking instructions and they came out perfect! I loved her empanadas but driving almost 1 hour from New Haven is not something I can do often. Last week, planning for Thanksgiving dinner, we decided to order empanadas again. I ordered online and I contacted Jackie to arrange pick up and luckily she was going to be in a holiday market in Westport that weekend, so she offered me to pick up there, saving me some driving time. We ordered Mushroom, Caprese, Ham & Cheese, Beef Malbec and Knife-Cut Steak. They were all a success! Our guests loved them! Also, when I went to pick up the empanadas, I bought a box of Alfajores de maicena (cornstarch cookie sandwich filled with dulce de leche) and a box of Medialunas (Argentinian croissants). They were absolutely delicious!!!! I wish I lived closer to order more often, but I will definitely order food from Jackie's again!
