Warrent SattFebruary 2, 2014An authentic Argentine restaurant that is run and staffed by real Argentine people. good friend is Argentine so the menu had plenty of classic Argentine dishes and desserts.
Instead of two steaks which means carrying leftovers I usually get the 16 ounce strip with mashed potatoes Then spilt it. Get the chimichurri sauce. the Carmel dessert. Amazing
AngieDecember 29, 2017La media entraña was delicious, the caprese empanadas were amazing, & the budin de pan was the perfect way to end dinner. Super cozy environment, & the staff is great. ¡Buenos Aires, te quiero!
Abigail MurrayJanuary 3, 2017Attentive staff. GREAT wine. Order a bottle of Archival Ferrar. And port! MUST try the provoleta: fried provolone cheese with fresh tomatoes. Try with the truffle olive oil and a dash oregano!
Hanna GraceJanuary 7, 2014Best buffalo mozzarella/ prosciutto combo I have EVER had! TRUE ARGENTINIAN FOOD, I promise! Go for the mixed grill your first time! I LOVE the lobster ravioli/empanadas. No to the chicken/salmon.
Liliana ChiaramonteJanuary 18, 2018I had the porter house and it was delicious! I got lucky getting the last bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon for the night so I got that for half price. Great atmosphere and food. Will definitely return.
Andrew CJanuary 9, 2017The empanadas had odd spices, but still pretty tasty!! The lomo stroganoff steak (on bottom in picture) was perfectly cooked and the sauce was so delicious... but was overall too expensive!!!
- Aline KleinNovember 7, 2016It has good food and wine. The place is extremely tight but well decorated with Argentinian elements, especially related with soccer. Ask the staff about the size of the dishes before to order it.
Ernesto GutierrezNovember 5, 2016Im on the fence with the empanadas. They are over hyped. The hanger steak was superb, very tender and grilled to specification. Their chimichurri sauce is not to be missed. Skip the French fries.
Kathryn PhillipsJuly 12, 2015This place is great! Excellent food and great service. Make sure to try the dulce de leche crepe! Skirt steak was also fantastic. Great spot for a date.
Ina LiApril 15, 2016Get 32oz skirt steak and sausages platter and share then with the group. Great house wine from Argentina as well! Best steaks in east village
Serious EatsDecember 9, 2013Argentinian hang-out spot with affordable prices. Don't mess around with the pastas; stick to the mixed grill for excellent beef.
Aryan JAugust 16, 2017The meat was juicy and plentiful. The service was exceptional and the price was just right. I will becoming back here often. Get the parillada!
Kimmie OhhNovember 17, 2019You have to get the empanadas! Order the entraña especial Bruno’s Aires if you want 32 oz of grilled skirt steak deliciousness
Village VoiceAugust 4, 2014Sit in the tented rear patio at Buenos Aires and go right to the meats; rather than pastas or meal-size salads. Read more
Olivia IJanuary 4, 2016Malbec! Filet mignon with chantrelle w/ cream sauce. Marinated eggplant. Warm attentive service. My new favorite place in the neighborhood.- Nic MirandaJune 11, 2012Start your delicious journey to Buenos Aires with carne empanadas and conclude with a 16oz skirt steak (medium-rare) w/ a dry Malbec. Trust me, I'm Argentinean.

Best skirt steak. Great French fries. Amazing restaurant for years. Always a must on the East side
Ana A.February 6, 2019Very nice ambience. Great selection of meat! The mollejas, empanadas and bife de chorizo amazing..
D !December 24, 2015Excellent place in NYC to eat meat the Argie style. Also the deco is funny, but Kardashian's are not allowed. ;-)
Kevin GrantSeptember 20, 2016Just had a bunch of empanadas with a friend, was great. Sit outside in the back for a better vibe.
Giovanni D'PalmaOctober 1, 2015This is a cute local place, especially when the weathers nice and you can sit outside.
- The Taste SheriffSeptember 24, 2014Skirt steak (although it sounds common) was amazing. Don't miss it.
- Mona KadiriOctober 22, 2015Empanadas ans ribeye are really good !! Good service !! Really enjoyed it !!!
Jessica WickhamJanuary 26, 2017Incredible steak and the mixed grill was big enough for like 3 people!
Must get the provolone cheese plate (American) & split a 16oz skirt with your sweetie. Pitcher of sangria and you'll be good to go!
The Local East VillageAugust 14, 2011Community contributor James Traub opines that "the kitchen’s masterpiece is without doubt the skirt steak, a narrow strip of meat so long that it arrives doubled over on your plate." Read more
Talia FisherDecember 2, 2012The surf and turf plus an appetizer is enough for two people. And it's delicious!
Jackie JeongFebruary 12, 2012I am a huge steak lover but call me crazy, their flan for dessert is out of this world!
