While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.

I can't recommend Buenos Aires enough!

Went with five friends - two of them highly recommended this place. The service was friendly…read more I ordered the 10 ounce boneless strip loin because I didn't want a huge meal - ordered medium rare. I'll let the picture speak for itself. The steak was definitely rare, not medium rare - and pretty raw in places. Over and above that it was at least 50% fat and grizzle. You can see the piece on the far right which I left in the picture to show how underdone the steak was. I alerted the server to the issue and said they really need to check a quality control. They promised me they would do something about it but when the bill came, we didn't even get a discount. I will say that of the other five meals only one had any issues and that was another cut with a lot of fat, but not nearly to the extent that I did. Moreover, I generally rate a restaurant based on the fact of whether they can make something better than I can make myself and even if the cut had been better, I make better season stakes myself all the time... So at $44 for a pile of fat in an undercooked steak, I think I deserve better.

The BEST yucca fries in the area (not to greasy and almost tastes like a mozzarella stick?! i always order it... and everyone again has been mindblown) Also, unpictured but their sangria is amazing as well (def on the stronger side...just the way I like it & again, they go heavy with the portions) Service is amazing and the staff is SUPER friendly / vibes give a sports bar vibe!

Choripan Rodizio 10 Sussex St…read more Hackensack, NJ 07601 Empanadas Buenos Aires Salad Argentinian Grill for Two Grilled Sea Food With Lobster Seafood Mix With Rice Appearance: 10/10 Taste: 8.1/10 Located on Sussex St near the Bergen County Courthouse is an Argentinian specialty restaurant. Owner Pablo and his staff introduced me to five of the most popular items on the menu. Empanadas: These Argentinian turnovers come in five flavors: Beef, Chicken, Caprese, Spinach, Ham & Cheese. Have one or have them all; the choice is yours! Buenos Aires Salad: This may be an appetizer, but this salad practically eats like a meal. My favorite toppings were the avocado and shrimp. I don't have an acquired taste for hard boiled eggs; but everything else was perfect. Argentinian Grill for Two: Although this barbecue is meant for two, it can easily serve three people. This carnivorous entrée is filled with all of your favorite proteins including skirt steak, blood sausage, Argentinian sausage, and beef ribs. All meats are cooked with wooden charcoal so it has that authentic hint of wooden flavor. As a bonus, this entrée is served on a table grill with charcoal. Grilled Sea Food With Lobster: You won't need to travel down the shore for seafood when you explore this dish. It has all of your favorite dishes from under the sea. Seafood Mix With Rice: Here is a variation of the previous entrée except everything is served over a heaping pile of yellow rice. If you are fan of soccer, this is definitely a perfect hang out spot. The walls are adorned with beautiful wall art and souvenirs praising the highly appreciated international sport. It was a pleasure exploring Argentinian cuisine in this fine dining establishment. #choripan #choripanrodizio #hackensacknj #seafoodmix #grilledseafood #argentiniangrill #empanadas #buenosairessalad #foodstagram #njfoodie #localbusiness

I got a few empanadas, the caprese being the favorite of the bunch and an iced americano. It was simple and very tasty.

As a Yelp Elite, I have to share what I'm convinced is the best ribeye in all of NYC…read more Yes, that's a big statement... but this steak earns it. 1. The flavor is unreal, the kind that makes you pause mid-bite. 2. It's consistently tender, moist, and unbelievably juicy. 3. It's grass fed, so it feels good and tastes even better. 4. It comes with a chimichurri that could win awards. If you love bold flavor or you've never tried chimichurri before, prepare to fall in love. And the bonus: I don't usually go for kale, but their kale salad changed my mind. It's bright and refreshing with shredded cabbage, white beans, and a dressing so light and addictive you'll wish you could take a bottle home. This started as an ode to the ribeye, but the truth is their desserts are just as impressive. And the ambiance? Perfect date-night energy. The place feels like a hidden little world you step into for an hour or two.
