Profile
Always a challenge for the penny-pinching epicure, steak seldom fits the Underground Gourmet's budget. That's where Buenos Aires comes in, with its myriad cuts of Argentine-style grass-fed beef (procured, thanks to a ban on the genuine article, from Uruguay and Nebraska). While you won't mistake it for Kobe, you probably won't find a better inexpensive steak-frites (be sure to request your fries blitzed with garlic and parsley). And even if your harried waiter can't elaborate on the subtle differences between the various Malbecs, they're cheap enough for you to find out for yourself. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
Not knowing anything about this restaurant walking in, I couldn't have been more happy with the food service and overall restaurant. Waiter went out of his way to give suggestions on the food and wine, the warm bread before the meal was a great starting point and the prices couldn't have any better.
An absolute steal for the quality of the food vs. price.
Only drawback was the noisy group of people but still, they were entertaining and it wasn't the restaurants fault.
Bathrooms were clean as well.
There are few Argentinian restaurants in the city, and it is too bad that one with such good food has such a terribly crude owner. I'm from Argentina and was very enthusiastic about trying this place. I had been waiting 20 minutes for my espresso,when the waiter brought the check, and tried see if we'd paid 5 times before I told him we were waiting for coffee. When I had only taken 3 sips of said delayed coffee, the owner approached us and rudely asked us to pay and leave because he had a long line and we were taking too long ( 60 mins including the 20 min coffee wait). Mortified by his screaming demands, we left , our evening ruined and indigestion our only memory.
