Excellent service and great prices must be what why this was a packed restaurant with a line out…read morethe door by the time I left. For me, the food wasn't quite the draw -- at least not the chicken which was the house specialty. The potential was entirely there, but the chicken (dark meat!!) was dry and the food lacked in salt or strong flavors. The subtle flavors of herbs and garlic on the potatoes were sadly drowned out by a pool of oil. It's unlike me to not finish potatoes but I might as well have been heaping spoonfuls of grease into my mouth.

The best pasta. They still make everything like when my grandfather used to go. Old school place…read morewith a lot of history that never gets old.

Coming from the US, we were in search for a good sandwich. When you visit this place, you won't…read morestruggle to find it. There will be a long line outside. The sandwiches are made to order and the line can be a bit intimidating or overwhelming, but they are so quick, you will be in and out in less than 10 minutes. They have a wide array of sandwiches but the milanesa is the way to go. You get a big portioned sandwich, on fresh bread, we got two big sandwiches with all of the recommended fixings. We got two drinks and two waters - all for less than 13 USD. We couldn't believe it. This meal in the states would've easily been $35 and the quality would not have been as good. Most people here take their sandwiches to go, but they have a little sitting area upstairs if you want to eat it fresh there! Sandwiches were so big I could not finish mine. One of our favorite sandwiches in all of Argentina on our visit!

Super nice place, with a bad ass private room that sits in the middle of the restaurant for private…read moredining. Location is centrally located and easy to get to from anywhere in the city. We saw on their menu that they had brunch on weekends and we made reservations. Upon being sat at our table, we were disappointed as our server informed us they're no longer doing brunch. We ordered from the executive menu and the food was tasty but pretty mid. The bondiola they said was cooked for 5 hours was still pretty chewy and not as tender as one would expect. The empanda was nicely fried and the meat filling was good as well. The dish with the mushrooms and ricotta was probably the best thing we ate. Regrettably I won't have another chance to try them again as I had to fly back to the US.

Wow, GREAT MEAL, GREAT SERVICE…read more This place has been around for years now, but is still hot. The service was great and the food was still cutting edge like the reviews rave about. I had the Patagonia Lamb over smokey polenta and it was one of the best lamb dishes I have had in years. The dining room at 10:30pm on a Tuesday was happening, and crowd was very hip, even if a little older then a normal night over in say Palermo. The bartenders would smoke the snifter glasses with wood smoke, make sure the glasses are ice cold for beers, and in general take extra care in their preparation. When I go back to Buenos Aires every few years I keep a short list of 4-5 must eats. This will surely be on it going forward.
