An excerpt from a longer review.
"Throughout the years, many cultures have put a spin on empanadas--a staple in Spanish and South American cuisine. While Tanto's smoked ricotta empanada ($7) contained no meat, la cuisine nailed the smoky flavour and crimped dough that was deep fried rather than baked. Plated with an oversized plastic bottle of Tanto's hot sauce (like one you'd buy at the dollar store), I found the presentation to be uncharacteristically low-brow and tacky. A small side bowl would have been more à propos.
Beef is usually the star protein at any Argentine restaurant, and I had to try some. The bavette (flank) and sweetbreads didn't appeal to me, so my guest and I opted for the short ribs with chimichurri and grilled lettuce ($34). Tanto's grill, fuelled by wood fire, lent the perfect whiff of smoke to the short ribs without being overpowering. As tasty as the perfectly rosy ribs were, we enjoyed more innovative menu offerings, such as the leek noquis."
