    Churro with Dulce De Leche
    Lori K.

    We stopped for a light lunch and were the only customers. By the time we left. The dining room was filling up. The owner answered my questions and stepped us through the menu. We took a seat in the small dining room and within minutes complex aromas from our meal prep surrounded us. My belly started to rumble but within a short time our empanadas arrived. We decided on carne asada and pollo empanadas sharing both. Pollo was stuffed with peppers and onions. Very flavorful. The Carne be asada was only cubed beef. The flavor was fantastic but there were no vegetables. I purchased the Pico ( not the menu name) diced tomato onion oralegano red wine vinegar and oil. I ate the salsa with each empanada and thought it was fantastic and totally elevated the flavor of the empanada. I had read other reviews recommending the zuchinni. It did not disappoint! We love churos and had to order them here. These were unexpected. Maybe I'm used to mecican churos; fried dough, to covered in cinamon and sugar. As you can see in the photo- no cinamon or sugar sprinles (maybe the tiniest amount) House made dulche de leche is served on the side. Perfect for dipping the churo! I really enjoyed this churro. I think my husband was anticipating a more "mexican churro" experience. But he ate the entire stick! LOL. I'm excited to return - there are other empanadas flavors to try and that zuchinni will definately be ordred again!

    My daughter and her husband invited me here. It was wonderful. The gluten free empanadas are great. The place was clean and the man was very nice and helpful. I will be back!

    6 Six Empanadas, Dill Ranch

    I loved how knowledgeable the staff was on the menu, they know it like the back of their hand and make your meal by hand. It's a small eat-in restaurant which gave me some European vibes for sure (if you've ever been). I'll definitely be back to try the lamb, chimichurri, pizza, and sandwiches. It's a gluten free paradise! We got 6 empanadas for around $25 and the ranch. We loved all of them but would say the chicken and pork are top tier tasty! We tried those two, plus the chorizo which was well seasoned, carne which was juicy, papa y queso which was like a fried pierogi, and the Espinoza which was spinach and cheese. They were all tasty and the ranch is made with fresh herbs hence the colors. It has a cooling effect like the a cucumber sauce. I would definitely recommend a sauce, they have a few with a kick to them which I think would enhance the empanadas! We also want to go back and try the churros, I wanted some but it was close to closing time so I opted to just come back another time.

    We came in on a Saturday evening and we were the only customers there. The inside is a little small but there are several tables and there's art on their wall (some even for sale). It was only Chef Joel and one other worker there but you can tell they care about their customers and food quality. It was our first time here so she explained the menu and let us take a seat wherever. Once you're ready to order, you head up to the counter. They advertise they are gluten free, soy free, grain free, nut and sugar free. I tried some of their empanadas and the "carne" was my favorite - packed with so much flavor. They are a bit greasy though. The steak was perfectly cooked to a medium rare temperature and the plantain chips were crispy and well seasoned. After eating here and trying their food, I'm surprised at how empty the restaurant was. They should totally have a line out the door!

    I am gluten free and it's so hard to find places with dishes that look as good as the not GF food! This was amazing bc I could eat ANYTHING on the menu. The papa y queso empanada was my favorite but everything was amazing!!

    Choripan is easily my favorite Argentine restaurant in Columbus, and it's not even close. The restaurant prides itself being free of gluten, nuts, grains, soy, sugar, and seed-oil, but the food there is so delicious that you would never know that all these things are missing from your order. The restaurant has a casual ambiance, the service is friendly and efficient, and the food is made fresh to order. We ordered the carne empanadas, the Lomito (grilled beef sandwich), the Pechuga (grilled chicken sandwich), and a side of plantain chips. All the dishes arrived at our table quickly, and they were all good-sized portions. The most amazing part of our dining experience at Choripan was that you couldn't tell that their food is free of so many ingredients that are common of everyday food items and still be this tasty! I highly recommend Choripan, and wish I lived closer so I could visit them more often.

    My husband found out about this restaurant on Yelp and when he told me that it's an Argentinian restaurant, I was super excited to go. However, to be honest, when I found out that this place serves food free of gluten, nuts, grains, soy, sugar, and seed-oil, I lost interest right away. But still went because my husband wanted to. I am so glad that we tried out this place because the food was just delicious and there is no way that you would know that the food lacked gluten, nuts, grains, soy, and sugar. Inside the restaurant is very casual and cozy with great customer service. We ordered the carne empanadas, the Lomito, the Pechuga and plantain chips. Everything was great. I highly recommend this place, and we will definitely visit again!

    My friend and I, both of whom can't have gluten, came for lunch this week, after wanting to check it out for awhile. It's a small little place, but there are several tables. You order at the window, and the employee was very helpful. We both ordered empanadas, as well as a dessert. Being vegetarian, there aren't tons of options for me here, but I got a root empanada and churros. My friend ordered a duck empanada and fritters. I thought my empanada was good, but the ratio of crispy dough to filling was a bit off, I couldn't taste the filling much. My friend enjoyed hers though. The star was the fritter- it was so dang delicious, and especially more so since getting gluten free fritters is a rarity. I'm sure meat-eaters would love it here more than me, but I'd come back for the fritter.

    Apple fritters

    This place was amazing. The food is all homemade and delicious!!! We will definitely be driving back over to this side of Columbus just to eat here more. The apple fritters are a must try and their empanadas and pizza were incredible! I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. Super great quality food, people, and atmosphere.

    Chorpain was amazing, chef Joel Linik did an amazing job and my party had a great dinning experience. He was the only one in there and absolutely killed it! I look forward to coming back and trying more, in the meantime check out my pictures.

    We visited FYR again for my birthday. The experience began with a handwritten birthday card, which…read morereminded us that we were up for a top notch experience. Being a Monday evening, the dining room was quieter than last time but the vibe was still cool and upscale. Every item that came to the table from the drinks, the "first bite," the starters and entrees were impeccably prepared. Our server, Alex, was highly attentive without being too much so... Another 5-star experience!

    I genuinely do not understand the positive reviews…read more We came here excited after seeing the hotel promotions and reading reviews online. In hindsight, the fact that the restaurant was nearly empty on a weekend night should have been a warning sign. We were seated immediately, and there were very few diners there the entire time. Maybe we ordered poorly, but nearly every dish missed. We started with the wood-fired clams, hiramasa crudo, and two orders of the pasta caramelle. The menu looked creative and promising, so expectations were high. The complimentary amuse-bouche was a stale crouton with strawberry on it. Not exactly a strong opening. The crudo arrived next, and the fish was cut extremely thick, to the point where the texture became unpleasant. The ponzu was barely noticeable, and despite the generous portion, we ended up mostly picking at it. The clams were better, but overwhelmingly salty. Not "aggressively seasoned" salty, something is seriously wrong with this broth salty. We kept waiting for someone to check in and ask how things were, especially after leaving most of multiple dishes unfinished, but nobody ever did. The server only returned to drop the check. The pasta caramelle was the most disappointing part for me because it seemed like the safest bet to recover the meal. Instead, it was a fairly small portion and just very average. I've eaten at excellent restaurants all over the world, from casual spots to Michelin-starred dining, and this felt like a restaurant trying very hard to appear elevated without delivering the fundamentals. The seasoning was off, the execution was off, and the service never caught these flaws. The final bill was around $130, and we were still hungry enough afterward that we ended up getting pizza later that night at Late Night Slice. Honestly, I wish we had just gone there from the beginning. Really disappointing experience overall.

    La Embajada La…read moreEmbajada is an Argentine Steakhouse, mobile kitchen and catering venture in Dayton, Ohio, that specializes in Argentinean, Italian and Spanish cuisine - nearly fine dining. We arranged to arrive ten minutes early in order to converse with Mónica Fabregat. Well worth the planning and effort. Mónica was delighted to learn that we have visited Argentina and experienced the people, cuisine, beauty, and various wineries. I had to ask Monica if she had visited Bariloche. Bariloche is located in the foothills of the Patagonian Andes on the southern shore of Nahuel Huapi Lake, near the border with Chile. Aspen, Colorado, is the most frequent U.S. city comparison for Bariloche due to its shared identity as a premier, upscale mountain resort destination. Both cities are famous for high-end skiing, luxury lodges, and a sophisticated, "ritzy" atmosphere that attracts wealthy international travelers. Beyond Aspen, Bariloche is often compared to other U.S. mountain and outdoor-centric locations for different reasons. Monica explained that "Argentine cuisine is primarily the union of food from our two biggest immigrant populations, Spain and Italy," Throughout the menu, Spanish and Italian influences are easy to spot, from espresso, pastas and flatbreads to empanadas, Argentine sausages and chorizos. La Embajada is a small, nicely decorated, pleasant restaurant - Qualifies as a Date Night with your wife, and my wife greatly approves. Service is excellent. YELP is always a must consult for us, and folks have consistent posted 5 Star reviews. We always take care to download the menu prior to dining. The Dictator Steak caught my eye the previous night, and I asked Monica which steak she recommends. Her reply was the Dictator Steak - a 30 day aged Ribeye. Difficult to find a 30 day aged Ribeye in the Dayton market. Monica then offered a nice Cabernet Sauvignon; I immediately declined and Monica smiled - she then offered a Malbec. Sorry, I forget the label, but very often we order a Malbec rather than a Cabernet Sauvignon. The single flaw (not the restaurant's doing) was the appearance of 14 young parents and very young children without reservations.... Folks do some minimal research - No one suddenly appears at an upscale restaurant in a group this size without reservations. During our three week Overseas Adventure Travel visit, we experienced a winery every day, and we came to favor Malbec. Malbec is a dark, full-bodied red wine grape known for its deep color and rich, fruity flavors like plum and blackberry, with notes of vanilla, cocoa, and tobacco, especially when aged in oak. Originally from France, where it's a key Bordeaux blending grape, it has become the signature grape of Argentina, thriving in high-altitude vineyards and producing wines with soft tannins and balanced acidity, making it a classic pairing for grilled meats like steak. My wife specified the Mixed Grill and the Seafood Bowl; Paella-style rice with shrimp, mussels, calamari and octopus. Of course, our plan was to enjoy "leftovers" at home, and we did. I observed to Monica that often in Buenos Aires steak restaurants place a live fire BBQ with steak in the front window; she knew about this and replied this would violate fire code in US. She observed these were higher priced restaurants for tourist, and I agreed. I found in Buenos Aires, by walking a few blocks, a similar menu was available for 50% less. Caveat: Go to La Embajada as soon as possible and do visit Bariloche when in Argentina.
