| - Visited La Esquina for a Savour York Region dinner on a Friday evening.
Had a choice of an appetizer, main course, and dessert all for $20. Excited to try some authentic Argentinian cuisine. Started with an Empanada, T-bone steak as my main, and finished with a custard flan for dessert.
Highlights:
Empanadas - the Best I've ever had! Not so large but right on the mark in terms of taste and prep. the filling consisted of ground beef, onions, olives, and eggs, brushed with a buttery glazed top, served fresh out of the oven warm. Get this!
Chimichurri sauce - has beautiful kick comes with the complimentary bread at the start of the meal and Empanadas.
Steak was a-ok, but could be seared a bit better. mushroom sauce was nice.
Mashed potatoes, green beans, carrots veggies from my main - smothered with butter and over salted beyond belief. I didn't feel like sending it back.
Tried a friend's paella shrimp dish - tad overpowering garlic, would prefer subtle flavor with bias towards saffron. way too liberal with the amount of shrimps. not enough rice.
Service - friendly, attentive, and very accommodating.
Decor - rustic, like you're transported to a different world. This is a beautiful looking restaurant, high ceilings and attention to detail.
Price - $20 for 3 course meal. Deal for sure.
Recommend!
Gonna go back for live entertainment.Neat venue. I wouldn't have ever known about this restaurant if it weren't for Savour York Region.
