| - This little hole in the wall in the Strip is serving up some yummy grilled food. The first time we tried to go here they were out of chicken, and I don't usually eat beef, so we went elsewhere. I thought about docking them a star for this, as actually having the food that's being offered on the menu is a big part of running a successful restaurant, but, after having eaten here, I think the place is 4 star worthy.
There is no table service here, and really no tables other than the ones on the patio outside. There are a few barstools inside, but the comfort level is low, as you have people milling about, either standing in line or waiting for their to go orders, and the space underneath the stools where your legs and feet would normally go is taken up by stacked wood. As a side note I'll say that it's too bad there's no place in the Strip, such as a small park or some other public area, where people can go and congregate...it would be a nice addition to the neighborhood, and there are a couple of take out places that could benefit. The outside tables were all taken when we arrived, so we ate at the counter on the barstools. We ordered the chicken from the "hambre" side of the menu, and sides of the grilled veggies and gaucho potatoes. This was a good amount of food for the two of us. The chicken comes "picked" and served with their onion sauce, a delicious concoction of caramelized onions that have been pureed and seasoned. The veggies were grilled perfectly, and the potatoes were delicious. We helped ourselves to the sauces they offer...a roaster red pepper sauce, a garlicky ajo and their version of chimichurri, that Argentinian staple. All were very good. They really know how to cook here, and the food is delicious. I hope they become successful enough to afford a move to roomier digs at some point in the future. In the meantime, I'll still go and hope for an empty barstool.
