Nostalgia is the best selling feature. Opened in 1846, I believe it holds the distinction as the…read moreoldest restaurant/bar in Buenas Aires. That's cool, but of course I care first and foremost about the quality of the food. Here I was left wanting. I tried both the spinach and the ham omelettes. They were huge and covered the majority of the plate, but the spinach one was a bit overcooked. The flavor was fine but uninspiring. I also tried a coffee with whisky and it too was okay but not as satisfying as I desired. The place also has a slight odor, but that could be due to the age of the establishment. It was groovy to enter, but I'm not sure if it is much more than a novelty at this point.

Off the bat I was debating to give it 4 or 5 stars and after considering all factors I went with 5…read more Here's why: - the service - our server was nice, he was attentive, and he made conversation. 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.

The servings are really abundant and you will most likely get full and happy. This is one of this places where you go to submerge yourself on the local experience, it is a place to become a local for a moment, don't expect refined manners or even smiles from the people working there, you are going to be very well fed, perhaps see a football game and get a drink and that is it. This is the way of the locals.

My wife and I loved this place. We happened upon it on our way home one night. My wife ordered the…read moretenderloin (de lomo) and I had the fried fish. Both came with mashed potatoes. It was simple but elegant and the portions were huge. Both tasted great. We went back a few nights later to the same street side table and waiter and had a full three course meal. We started with calamari and provoleta. The calamari is a staple there and the portion is huge. It is lightly breaded, fried and tasty. The provoleta was fine. This time for my main course the waiter suggested grilled fish so I tried it. It was not especially great since they bread it like it was going to be fried. It was flavorful regardless. My wife ordered the bife de lomo again and again was very happy. For dessert I had a fantastic piece of helado that seemed to be cut from a loaf. I don't remember the name but it was fantastic. My wife ordered the flan and was satisfied. I finished with a limonchella. Gijon is a great neighborhood restaurant with prices to match. It's worth a try.
