On his last visit to Buenos Aires Anthony Bourdain came to eat at Don Carlos with francis mallmann…read moreThe setup is unique, you show up, tell Don Carlos how hungry you are and then he feeds you whatever he thinks will be good for you (we were hungry). There is a menu but why order from the menu when you can have Don Carlos feed you whatever he feels you might like? This is the best part of this place, let Don Carlos feed you. I couldn't capture all of the dishes as they kept coming one after another, the meat was grilled to perfection, the baker took her time with every item that came from the oven and the charismatic Don Carlos kept us entertained the entire meal. Also our meal was only $38 (included a 2014 bottle of Malbec, approximately 10 dishes plus 3 desserts)

Home to Argentinas rowdy and most loyal soccer franchise and the birthplace of Tango. The service is fast enough but not rushed. The only knock I have is food while food is decent but not exceptional and it comes with tourism pricing. Also you can smoke outside which annoys my wife and kids so that takes some blush off the rose of the experience for me.

The bright orange hues of the cocktails drew us in, the taste of the food brought us back! This cafe has a good view of the Caminito terrace and the bus stops (if you're looking out for your bus). This cafe is in the opening of the La Boca tourist square. Have a bite and drink before or after doing some shopping. It's not as expensive as most tourist cafes, but it's not cheap either. Food- the beef empanadas were amazing! Try with the house chimichurri. The jamón y queso was okay, but im not a fan of pork so it's preference based. The pulled beef sandwich is so delicious and moist...it's what brought us back for another visit. They have a traditional provolone bake that is topped with olive oil and oregano; pretty good when hot. If you're in the area, it's a must. Service is great as well.

There were a couple of good dishes but over all for the price I had better food time and time again during my visit in BA for a fraction of the cost. The empanadas and champagne did start the evening off right. The little waiting area was adorable and the empanadas were delicious - a little hard to eat sitting on a couch but good nevertheless. From there we were sat at our table and the ambience was quaint and charming, probably the best part of the whole experience. The bread came out and even though I knew I shouldn't with 6 courses coming I couldn't resist and it was tasty. First course was a baby carrot salad with goat cheese. This was probably my favorite dish and unfortunately where things started to go down hill. The service was not great and border line terrible at times. I am used to the waiters explaining the dishes as they are served but here we got a very quick run down of everything before the first course with little explanation of the dishes and no menu. For this reason, I'm sorry if my descriptions are a little vague. After the salad...an octopus dish which was good but I've had better. Following that was another glimmer of hope with a gnocchi dish - it was delicious! Very rich and buttery some of the best gnocchi I've ever had. Next, Hake with ratatouille and a sauce. The fish was blah, the sauce was not good, the only saving grace for this dish was the ratatouille which was good. Next, "The Steak" I was so excited for this course because Argentina is known for there steak - disappointment is an understatement. First of all the cut - a chuck steak? For a $160+ pp dinner...really?! I would have rather had a smaller bite of a better cut of steak. It was cooked "rare" chefs recommendation which was probably equivalent to medium and it was SO chewy I could hardly eat it, the chimichurri was okay but to be honest I couldn't really enjoy it because I was concentrating so much on chewing my steak. Served with a side of thinly sliced potatoes which were nothing special. Finally, dessert...they brought out 5 small desserts which again were nothing to brag about - of the 5, I really only like 2 - the lemon tart and the cream. I hate to leave a bad review but for my fellow yelpers, I wouldn't waste your time or money on this place there are too many better options.

As you pull up, the building is totally inauspicious, and we weren't sure it was the correct address. We were greeted with champagne and empanadas. After sitting, presentation of some delicious bread and a wine list. Avoid the bread. It is amazing, but you will need the room for the 6 courses of deliciousness coming. The wine list is good with a lot of focus goes into the native Malbecs of Argentina, which happen to pair nicely with the entire meal. Each course is even better than the previous, but the steak had to be the best cut of meat I have ever enjoyed. If you're looking for an amazing restaurant experience, you definitely will not be disappointed here. Food, ambiance, and service are all top notch.
