    Food was amazing. They have a sauce for one of the dishes which pairs well with fries. I had the steak. Cooked perfectly and honestly more flavor than Jeff Ruby's. Need to to back

    SO GOOD! Steak was cooked perfectly! The food was delicious, honestly no complaints. I loved every moment of it. I will be coming back trying new things! Service was a little slow but only one person working so we get it! However regardless waiter was so sweet and nice and still attentive. The place is a little small, and if it was busy, you would need to make reservations. However, great little intimate small place. We will be coming back, and I already can't wait to tell my friends.

    Empanadas

    I would eat this all over again tomorrow. Ohmigosh I love empanadas but these Argentinian authentic ones are the best I've ever had. I ordered the pulled chicken and cheese, the 5 cheese and the beef with olives. The empanadas were cooked perfectly, hot, fresh, crispy and not greasy at all. The pulled chicken was moist and flavorful. The 5 cheese was delectable, but my favorite was the beef...perfectly seasoned, with green olives, diced egg, it was stellar. The service was wonderful, the owner came out and gave us a warm welcome. She also recommended a dessert empanada, "Chocotella" with bananas and Nutella inside. We will definitely be returning to this delicious place!

    First time having Argentinian food and it definitely impressed! The owners and staff are more than willing to explain everything and give recommendations. The decor is pretty and eclectic, casual enough to stop in but could also show up to celebrate an occasion! The salad was very unique with potato crisps on top. They also have a beet & boiled egg dish that is a traditional side; kinda reminded me of pickled eggs without the spice! The empanada was perfectly crispy and Delicious. The steaks and sausage were all phenomenal and had a ton of flavor.

    We had such a great experience at La Embajada! The food was incredible -- fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic Argentinian cuisine. Every dish we tried was delicious and beautifully prepared. What really made the meal special though, was the staff and owner. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the owner went completely above and beyond. She personally came over to introduce herself, made sure we were enjoying everything, and even brought out Legos for my child to play with so we could relax and enjoy our meal. That level of kindness and thoughtfulness is rare. La Embajada isn't just a great restaurant -- it's a place that makes you feel genuinely cared for. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend! Beautiful inside as well. I probably should have taken a better picture than the one I'm adding to this review but I was just eating and forgot lol!

    This is our second visit to La Embajada. We knew going in to expect a slower pace. We ordered everything at once this evening. The meal was delicious. My favorites are the yuca fries and side salad. There were two sausages and both were flavorful. The steak was cooked well and we both saved that for last. I wanted dessert but it was late. Next time I'll get the chocolate empanada. The decor makes it feel very homey yet elevated. The ladies are both so friendly & welcoming. I think they could use another server, but we really enjoy eating here for a special experience.

    Authentic Argentinian food in the area for two years. We are so happy we found this little gem located in a strip mall on the corner. It was around 5 pm when we stopped in and there was one other party there. It did get a little busy while we were eating but the noise level remained low despite the smaller size. The service was outstanding and the prices were reasonable. They serve beer and wine and have an extensive menu as well. We both had empanadas and there are vegan and vegetarian options on the menu. We were served our food by the owner herself who was thoughtful, helpful, and full of energy. It was our anniversary so we had dessert (churro and a chocolate empanada). Dessert was just the right size and superb as well. Highly recommend and tell your friends too! We will return the next time we are in the area!

    In town for work and stopped at this hidden Gem . I got a 16 ounce ribeye dry age for 30 days and it was delicious. I will be popping in here every time I'm coming to town.

    Empanadas

    Family operation turns out great Argentinian food Empanadas to steak they serve it with pride and panache I. E. family service that is not rushed. Not a fast food restaurant Has the feel of an Argentinian apartment nice, cosy, and modern.

    The feel of this place is fun and the owners are very energetic. They didn't have their soul as it was taken off unless it's winter. I was disappointed by this because I love their corn soup. They now have the empanadas as a single price each instead of the three for one price. They were a bit more greasy than I remember from the last time. That is all we tried this time.

    I have never been to Argentina and now I'm not sure if I have to go. This place is quaint, with a nice dining environment, and delicious food. The empanadas and steak were out of this world. You gotta try the pulled chicken and cheese empanadas.

    Their story
    Stuart L.

    We could not have asked for a nicer dining experience. Another one of the gems found through Yelp! Wonderful food choices (we came for the empanadas, and stayed for the meal!), awesome, friendly service, and a quiet, peaceful environment. Love that we could easily have a conversation. And love that the owner visited with us to make sure that we had a good time. Wonderful story. We will be happy to come back many times!

    Hooray, they are no longer "underground" and have a beautiful place! We came here after an afternoon movie at Cinepolis. As a hearing impaired person, I appreciate the investment in sound tiles and beautiful & relaxing piano music (played by owner Monica's husband ) so we could hear our conversation and our terrific server, Diana. Oh, and the foooooood! We split the steak sampler among 4 of us, plus several empanadas and couple other appetizers. Everything was wonderful! The steak was cooked to medium, still very good though next time I'll remember to ask for it more rare. I've been searching for a good chimichuri sauce (granted, not many choices in Dayton) since we moved from TX and found it here! Both Monica and Diana were super friendly and food came out quickly. Homemade ice cream, a banana/Nutella empanada, and churros topped off a great experience. Can't wait to go back!

    Don't blink or you you will miss this new little gem…read more We decided to try out a new Mediterranean restaurant and let's just say it did not disappoint The parking I could see be a challenge however we had no issues with parking at approximately 6pm. It's a shared parking lot woth a few other businesses. The inside is nicely decorated, roomy, and very clean. The service was great friendly and quick. Just like we like it. The menu was a wide variety something for everyone. Even included a kid menu with more traditional food like a hamburger. Prices are great and the portions are large. You will not leave hungry. We ordered a dew different things to try out the menu 1. Large order of fries $7.99 I like to think I am a fry snob lol and love to try them aleverywhere I go. Anyways they were nicely fried crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. What made them stand out from others was the seasoning and wait for it. It was only lemon pepper lol and let me tell you I don't know if I can go back to just salt again. The lemon pepper on the fries was just the right zip I needed. No ketchup needed either and I never thought I would say that lol also this could have easily been a side for 2 to 4 people. 2. Large Greek salad added Chicken shawarma. I cannot remember the price. But the amount of chicken I got on the salad was crazy and had a great flavor my taste buds really enjoyed the seasoning (garlic, cumin, cardamom, maybe cinnamon, and tumeric) all the tangy, sweet, warm, and smokey in each bite. The dressing was very refreshing with a red wine vinegar. 2. Beef shawarma $10.99 and I swear this was the size of a toddlers arm. The juicy tender beef with more amazing seasoning I swear this place had tons of flavor (garlic, lime, cardamom, and again maybe cinnamon) with some fresh veggies lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Wrapped in tortilla and you can easy eat this with one hand driving down the highway lol. The side of sauce also is packed with flavor such garlic and I loved it. Anyways don't pass it up and stop in try something today

    We came here for the first time. The ambiance was clean & inviting. The guy up front took our order…read moreright away. I ordered the Lamb Kabab Wrap ($10.99) while hubby got the Gyro & Fries ($9.99) & a can of soda pop ($1.50). When we looked at the receipt, we noticed I was charged for a can of soda pop also even though I didn't order one. We waited 15 minutes for our order to be made. It was brought to our table hot off the grill. My lamb kabab wrap was swimming in a tasty garlic sauce which came with a side of tzatziki sauce. It was scrumptious with big chunks of delicious lamb. I tasted hubby's gyro & fries and they were really good. We will definitely return here.

The Greek-Style Philly Cheesesteak sandwich, onion rings, and mozzarella cheese sticks were packed in styrofoam containers. The Tzatziki sauce for the sandwich and marinara sauce for the mozzarella cheese sticks were placed in plastic containers which were then placed in a small paper bag. Items were then placed in a big paper bag that was stapled together. Food was packed very well. The Greek-Style Philly Cheesesteak is basically gyro-style lamb meat but instead of placing it in pita bread it is put in a submarine-sandwich style roll with cheese on top. I picked provolone cheese. The sandwich was overflowing with a good amount of gyro meat, but the lettuce and tomatoes didn't seem very fresh. I did eat one half of it, and the meat was good, but if I ever order from here again, I would get the sandwich without the lettuce and tomatoes. The bread on the sandwich was pretty good though. The onion rings were a disappointment. They were soggy to me. Not much of a crunch and it didn't seem they were freshly cooked. The mozzarella cheese sticks were really good. Out of everything in my order, these seemed to be the best. Overall, I would not recommend. I liked the idea of gyro meat on a submarine sandwich bun, but the lettuce and tomatoes didn't seem fresh. Onion rings, likewise, were not very good. They were soggy and underwhelming.

    I love this place. They know their Greek food. Sparse seating but I come for the expertise chefread more
