We got here at 9:30 and the place was packed, but there was a couple leaving and we got that table. The place is small, cramped and bright, but very popular among the locals. We ordered Empanadas, ribeye and lamb, as well as a nice bottle of Malbec. Service was great, the place was loud and boisterous and I felt like a local! The empanadas were some of the best I have had, steak was cooked perfectly and the salad great! I will definitely come back here again!

We had just arrived in Buenos Aires and wanted to try La parilla, a grilled steak place near our…read morehotel. This place was recommended from chat gpt. It was exactly what we wanted. Extremely nice and attentive staff who recommended dishes, explained things and was patient with us. We had a half order of beef ribs, my strip and filet for the 4 of us. We could have done without the filet bc it was a lot of food. Also, the fillet we ordered medium and the other two medium rare. They tasted much better so I'd recommend the medium rare. We also shared chicken, beef and corn empanadas. They were delicious and flavorful, and the dough was light and flaky, not too heavy. We also shared a salad, which was the basic salad of arugula, Parmesan cheese and olive oil. They bring out bread, Chimichurri sauce, salsa and hot peppers. Had the small rutini wine which was great. If you're looking for a reasonably priced place to try parilla in Buenos Aires, I would recommend this place

There are proably hundreds if not thousands of Parrillas here in Buenos Aires, and while many are…read morevery good, this is one of the better ones. The best part is that this is a locals restaurant, and it has such a great feel. The minute you walk inm you are welcomed by a friendly staff and led to a table, we chose upstairs and were quickly seated. Our waiter was friendly and jovial, and spoke great english. He recommended a Malbec, and then we ordered a bunch of food, which came quickly. As we dined, the placed filled up quickly, and looking around, there was not an empty table in the place- upstairs or down. The restaurnat has an Italian family feel, white table cloths and worn, but classy china. Plus the grill is amazing. Overall, this place is excellent, and a local friend who I dined with said he will be making this place one of his regular stops!

"Parrilla Peña" was the answer I got when querying hotel staff about a good, authentically…read moreArgentinian dinner spot. Nothing seemed more authentic than the big parrilla (grill) that greets you when you enter or the fact that the place doesn't open for dinner until 8pm. A meal in this clean, somewhat industrial-looking space begins with empanadas and chimichurri arriving automatically at your table thanks to the small "cubierto" (per person cover fee, not a tip, of about $2.50 per person). Given the late dining hour I resisted over-ordering, knowing that I didn't want to go to sleep stuffed to the brim. Rib-eye was my choice, along with wine and beer, with the whole thing coming in at a pre-tip price of $90,100ARS (about $63USD). It was a perfect meal that still filled me succinctly and as I left I couldn't help but feel for all those still waiting to enter the restaurant at around 10 p.m. Parrilla Peña proved to be a great and authentic choice for a solid parrilla experience. I went on to have similar meals for more money a couple more times while in Argentina but it was here that I thought the experience most authentic, being enjoyed more by locals and only a handful of in-the-know tourists such as myself.

We typed out what we wanted on a translator app and we got what we ordered. The complementary bread was very hard and I supposed that could be the style but it wasn't good. We had the olives as the appetizer, which were wonderful. The empanadas were good and the chimichurri that came with it was on point. We split one mixed meat skewer and the meat chunks were huge. More food than we could possible eat. Skip the empanadas and go with the olives and skewer and you'll be full.

You can just eat it the way it is without any ketchup or A1 steak sauce! The flavor was good! Then we also order their Argentinian ribs, it's really short ribs, I was kinda surprised when it was served to me, very happy with the thickness and the taste, the flavor was more intense than the steak! Very tender indeed! The meat empanada was delicious and cheap (about $1.15 USD) for 1, just big enough for us to try! The service was great, our waiter took time to explain everything to us in ENGLISH! He spoke perfect English! They also gives you a basket of bread as soon as you sit down, no charge of course!

Every backpacker has their steak & wine dinner at some point while in Argentina... so this was…read morewhere my English friend and I got the pleasure of eating one of our last Argentine meals. FOOD - Not the best steak ever, but still good. My friend had the chicken and it actually looked better than my steak! Although, I didn't pay the big bucks for the more expensive steaks. As for the sides, all good. SPACE - Very clean and well together. For a Friday night it was surprisingly quiet with only about 10 people in the place... but I am guessing this may be bc it is "downtown." SERVICE - Very friendly, attentive, and sweet. Overall, this place fit the bill for our steak & wine dinner if you want to have good value. For wine, steak, and a side I know I paid maybe 25usd. If you are looking for a steak & wine dinner experience to rave about though... I would actually recommend elsewhere!

You'll be seated at 6:30pm and your entire meal will be 40% off. Yes all food and drinks everyday. Isn't that wild?? We went with the mixed salad, ribeye, and house wine. Ribeye is perfectly cooked and served with a bunch of sides including mashed potato, roasted garlic, potato gratin, corn cheese, etc. Salad was very fresh and complements the fattiness of the steak well. Service can be a bit spotty as they're so busy but very worth it overall. Can't wait to be back!

All great things. He did forget the bread which since we had just finished a walking tour, was a bummer. BUT, when I asked him about the bread when we asked for a To-go bad he realized he had forgotten and did not charge us the bread fee even after giving us some bread to-go. That was what brought it back to a 5. Mistakes happen, not a big deal, appreciated the remedy. - the food: ordered the tripe, they were good! I'm used to the Colombian and Ecuadorian versions and so for me, they were a little too plain. But if you added the lemon and the chimichurri and their house sauce they were better. La parrillada - it was a huge porción, but we felt it lacked flavor. It lacked salt, for our taste buds. Because I'm not sure if this is the typical Argentian style seasoning or our taste buds and overall it was good with the sauces, it warrants a 5. - the ambiance - a nice mom and pop shop, recommended by our walking tour. Casual and local spot. Prices fair.
