The food here is friggin' amazing. Its rare you find a restaurant where everything from the appetizers to the main course to the sangria to the dessert is on point. Definitely coming back!

All the condiments adds another flavor to this amazing steak to entertain the dinner through the night but simply with salt is still the best and you can tell how tasty the meat is.

Great steaks, Argentinian food and Yerba mate. Also they have a good Latin American wines and drinks, and overall great for dates. The ambience is very Brooklyn-ish!

Try their marinated olives as a side dish with Octopus and potato salad from their appetizer list and fish tacos (grilled). Cool vibe, very chill spot for singles and couples.

By far the best short ribs I've ever had! Cocktails were also good. Great spot to take family, celebrate with friends or have a date night. Atmosphere was cozy and candle lit, and yet still lively.

We were so happy when we left. We have tried so many things. You should try Empanadas, pulpo y rusa, tacos de castilla, molleja and finally churros

Came for brunch on a Sunday and was so happy we did. Atmosphere is great, service was very helpful with the questions we had. The steak and truffle fries exceeded my expectations!

so quaint. so chic. and the fact that it's argentine and run by argentines doesn't hurt. Rosarito Fish Shack and Shelter Pizza are all in the same family. reasonably priced and delicious.

Skirt steak is a must order (is there an echo in here)? Also the artichokes that came with the salmon were scrumptious and lemony

The Skirt steak was amazing! Among the best meat I’ve ever eaten. Service was also great. We had ceviche as an appetizer and that was also delicious.

If you like juicy steak, no hesitations simply go for their Churrasco piece, one of the best meat I have had in New York. Their Syrah is good choice to accompany your steak.

Charming nook with impressive wines and steaks. We ordered the skirt steak because first choice was out but it was an incredible "disappointment"! You'll want to return after your first bite!

impeccable service, nice ambiance, excellent food. Get those rabas now if you like sweet plantains! fish tacos are good also. Everything was perfect.

Hiding in plain sight right next door to Criff Dogs. Skirt steak, empanadas (ham and cheese) plus only south american wines. Excellent back patio situation.
Thomas MillerMay 27, 2018
This place has some of the best meat in NYC, and the sauces to go with it! Also the staff is so accommodating, love this spot!
Joe DMarch 14, 2015
Get the churrasco. Now two options: get your own and split an appetizer; Or go splitties on one churrasco and sample a few apps (pulpo is dynamite)
Stella PJuly 10, 2013
Absolutely Amazing steak...had the ribeye (fattest thickest juiciest softest piece ever and the skirt done juuuuuust right that it melted on the tongue). Definitely recommend!
Leah M.January 27, 2013
Love truffle oil, but could barely get the ceviche down - drowning in it! Huge short rib portion. Saltiness of sauce needs a forkful of the sweet mashed potatoes to temper it - and it's awesome

Avocado fries and steaks are no brainers. They also have a lot of fun using mate as an ingredient in cocktails and sauces
DanielJune 28, 2017
Great Argentinian restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg. Highly recommend the steak!
Luca GalassoNovember 16, 2013
Just go for meat! Is soooo good! Guacole, Fries and Paella are also great! But u MUST chose meat! Take also a bottle of wine, u'll feel in the heaven.

The Parillada is the winning dish for two people. With an extra order of Mollejas and some corn.
sofie geoMay 25, 2018
Perfect ribeye and the variety of selected steaks+sausages. Try the grilled vegetables as well. Nice vintage atmosphere.

Next time you're craving a big hunk of cow, snag a table in the garden and order their parrillada. Bring a friend or two to help you finish it all and wash it down with a bottle of Malbec. -Jacqueline

Add the avocado fries to your order. They're interesting (good interesting) and the yerba matte ketchup is really tasty
StayNYC RentalsOctober 17, 2018
You just want some steak that isn’t crazy-expensive along with some tacos and avocado fries - and you can get all of that at El Almacén.
Juanda ZapataNovember 11, 2013
All the waiters speak spanish. The service is very good and the food is AMAZING. One of the best experiences that you'll ever have in NYC.
Cecile CampanJune 3, 2017
Cucumber cocktail in the backyard for a perfect time. The meat was amazing. Service very nice . Definitely recommend the place
Ms HeleneDecember 7, 2015
Fish tacos, hearts of palm salad and Guac with warm chips. Skip ceviche & patchy service. Cozy tables out back
Ranu RajkarnikarNovember 6, 2014
Romantic cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Great for a date. Skirt steak, paella and calamari. Say yes.
AditiDecember 5, 2019
Great price for steak, enjoy the Malbec and cozy environment

Impressive: Avocado Fries - They turned out to be crescents of avocado rolled in panko crumbs and deep fried, leaving them green and creamy on the inside, and crunchy on the outside. Read more

Village Voice is proud to welcome El Almacen to the 2014 Choice Eats food fest! http://bit.ly/1cRzdNV.Avocado Fries. Need we say more?

Great cocktails and food. Make sure you try the empanadas & the ceviche. Both killer.
Ken SuhOctober 24, 2016
Pretty cozy cute place. Perfect for late brunch, yum! 😍
Jonathan L.January 6, 2019
Great date spot. Expect to pay $100 for 2. Good tasting skirt steak and moist, flavorful paella.
İpek A.January 13, 2015
Delicious hot chocolate & churros! Need to go there for breakfast as well. But the staff is really horrible. Every 3 mins they disturb you or directly brings you the check. Annoying.
Jen BergFebruary 22, 2015
Octopus to start and skirt steak med rare. Split truffle fries and bottle of Malbec with a lover or friend.
Lexi SteigelmanOctober 11, 2017
Share the Parrillada over a bottle of wine. Morcilla and mollejas (blood sausage and sweetbreads) are on point.
Paloma OrtizDecember 9, 2014
The guacamole is insanely good, and so is the stuffed pepper! Not a lot of veggie options, but the ones they had were great!
Christianna GiordanoMarch 16, 2013
This place is tucked away a bit, but service and food were both fantastic. Lovely for brunch.
Sandor GAugust 26, 2015
I had chicken enchiladas. Standard dish, they did it well. However, they didn't have any wine left. Everything under 70 bucks was sold out and they had no house wine. Service curt. Atmos amazing.
Christian AyalaMarch 16, 2013
Avocado fries were interesting in a good way, the hamachi ceviche with truffle oil was delightful , and the meat was plentiful and served just as ordered.

Get the fish tacos, fries (avocado or truffle), and paella to share! Perfect for 2.
AriadnaJuly 15, 2018
Amazing stake. Amazing wine. Unique atmosphere. The best stake sauces ever. 10+
Village VoiceFebruary 8, 2011
Try the avocado fries- When fried, they get admirably crisp on the outside, and imperially creamy in the interior. They're served with yerba mate ketchup which Sietsema says you don't even need
Alex AlbertFebruary 13, 2020
Paella and the sangria was to die for! Steak empanadas is a must para empezar 😍
CateJune 4, 2010
One of the best restaurants in NYC. Surprisingly, grill are not the best dishes. Order the spinach salad, octopus, squid, tacos, fish special, ceviche, costillas de res, churros, and hot chocolate.
ISMarch 20, 2016
Amazing everything! Drinks and great food. The waiter is awesome. I would come back again.
Debbie DaviesAugust 17, 2014
Hamachi ceviche, shishito peppers, empanadas, red wine. I actually order in from here often. But the ambiance is lovely.
