Great food selection between appetisers, steaks, pastas, chicken dishes, chivitos, and empenadas…read more There is also a nice wine selection and we enjoyed a bottle of a Chilean red.
On our first visit here, I enjoyed beef carpaccio, a minute steak, and a salad -- I was bursting at the seams and still took food home. My husband had a queso fundido con chistorra and a salad and was satisfied. The carpaccio was outstanding-- so tender and flavourful; absolutely perfect. The minute steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked. My husband was thrilled with the fundido--hot rich cheese and spicy salty meat morsels; what's not to love?
On our most recent visit, we entertained friends who were impressed and really loved their meal. The steaks and salmon were fantastic; great wood smoke char on very tender beef and a glorious butter-drenched fish. They also had the papas gajo, twice fried wedges that were light and crisp.
The sides of grilled onion and roasted mushrooms were large enough to share. And the mushrooms were fantastically browned whole and delectably juicy in each bite. A meal all by itself. The chivito sandwich with picaña. Wow! Big sandwich with avocado, tomato, lettuce, onion, mustard, cheese, ham, and thick slices of steak. BIG sandwich. 1/2 went home with me. The chivito bread is fantastic and also served as a side with your steak.
Service was professional and courteous. The waiter was knowledgable and gracious with a group of Americans who spoke little to no Spanish. The menu is available in English.
The restaurant is a little older, but the simple decor and thoughtful details make for a charming dining room.
Definitely recommend getting empenadas. If you can't squeeze them into your meal, get some to go. The pastry is delightfully crisp and tasty. The range of fillings is generous as is the size of the empanada. Enjoy!
