David ChitanavaFebruary 20, 2022This place is absolutely perfect. Food is terrific, tasty and fresh. Their deserts are worth to be mentioned. All what me and my friends have tried were amazing. Service was also very nice.
Erik CintronJuly 27, 2018Man! What a great little place. U walk in u feel like u walked into a high end restaurant in small country. Great service and ambiance. Outdoor seating. Small place missable but don’t get that steak
Pia FouillouxDecember 28, 2015My favorite Argentinian restaurant by far. Portions are big, the meat is amazing, warm bread for free is amazing. The owner is so friendly.
Amy FullerOctober 1, 2016Incredible Empanadas and sauces. Entrees were excellent. Mixed drinks were a bit on the sweet side so i prefer to stick with beer (only in bottles, no tap) and wine. Friendly and attentive service.
J CrowleyFebruary 7, 2016Steaks and Argentinian wine! The skirt steak was cooked perfectly and better than the rib eye.
- Larissa AlvarezApril 2, 2017Empanadas are amazing including the desert empanada. Love the Yerba mate cocktails. Authentic Argentinean food in a cozy setting. I personally loved my milanesa!
Stephanie MAugust 23, 2016Everything was fantastic but the spinach empanadas, yucca mash and the sweetbreads in the parrillada really stood out. The owner was so friendly and courteous!- GeenaAugust 30, 2016Great backyard outdoor seating. Authentic and fresh Latin food. Cocktails are amazing
Artur BenchimolDecember 7, 2015Lovely neighborhood spot. The owners are awesome and you can't skip the empanadas.
