I ordered medium rare. The reviewers saying the meat was too tough to eat, please stop ordering medium to well done. If you really want to enjoy your food, order medium rare. Medium rare is easy to cut and you get so much more flavor. I can't stress this enough. Service was good, no problems with the owner. -Chimichurri 5/5 - tasted great with the bread and meat -Bbq for 2: short ribs, flank steak, skirt steak, sausage, blood sausage 4.5/5 - not a fan of blood sausage but everything else was excellent. -Fries 5/5 - well seasoned, not too salty. -Chocotorta 5/5

I decided on the two empanada and salad special that came with a drink and espresso at the end. Never did I imagine the salad to be HUGE! Fresh veggies, cheeses, etc. that was so so tasty. But of course the star was the empanadas! I started with a chorizo and cheese, which was flavorful and tasty. But then I bit into the leek and cheese, and I was in heaven! So buttery and flaky. Hot and piping, but the perfect temperature to enjoy it. These empanadas were actually smaller than I had imagined, so I asked the waitress to give me her favorite one which was the onion and cheese. That was very tasty too! I would've bought every single option available and bring them back with me if I could have!

The portions are fantastic, the waiters are extremely kind and everything was cooked to our liking.

Okay guys when we say we loved this place... we loved this place. We came here twice in Barcelona…read morebecause the food was so stellar and the wait staff was awesome!!! The first time we sat outside and the second time we sat inside and both were great experience. Beer was delicious and got a bottle of wine for an amazing price. In terms of everything we tried, we tried the morcilla and chorizo, the empanadas, the pizza and several different milanesas. Everything was stellar!!!!! So well priced and fresh and delicious. Just to die for. If you're looking for casual and easy food while in the area, this is the place to go. Also, this place might be named La Frontera on the front but it's the same restaurant. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Wish we could have come here more (even more than twice)

Not a particularly large dining area so reservations may be necessary. Simply decorated The serve was friendly and at least one spoke English well. We ordered meat empanadas to start and then grilled platters for the main course. Excellent empanadas, could make a whole meal of those. Everything was grilled perfectly. The sausages and chicken were the best. The cuts of meat were not particularly tender and the grilling toughened them. There is a good selection of wine available and the Malbec was a good choice.

What really disappointed me was being charged $9 for a plate of French fries with an egg that tasted awful. On top of that, I was charged $3.60 for tap water, which felt excessive and unnecessary.

As a meat lover I highly recommend this restaurant. We went on a 3-day trip in Barcelona and I had…read moretwo of my lunches there (the owner even kept our wine on the first day so we could keep drinking it on the 2nd day!). The first day I had the veal and beef sirloin, medium cooked. The veal tastes like it was dry-aged and came with a pleasant flagrant along with the kick from charcoal. It was a bit chewy but every bite on the meat extracts more flavor from it. Beef sirloin usually is a safe choice, and it was a right decision for this restaurant. It was super tender and juicy, satisfying. The second day we went back for more, our friend recommended beef short-rib, and i also added a lamb chop. Unlike other short ribs I had in US, their rib was not as tender, but the more you chew on it, the more flavor came out of it. The lamb chop was surprisingly good, it's tender and juicy, also a bit fatty. I wanted to go back on the third day, but guess we need to try out something different in Barcelona, but I will definitely come back next time I'm there!
