I live only 1 block away and have never drop by here. My Argentino friend said he loves it here. I have read some great reviews and some aweful ones. Today I decided to find out for myself.It is a terrible cold day for mid- May so a hot drink was good. I told the waitress it was my first time. She helped me mix the yerba matte in the gourd. After several refills I think I got a rush!! The beef empanada was quite good also. However, I still prefer the Chilean style but in a pinch O can walk here in 3 minutes. So don't believe everything you read. Service was great. I had a nice experience today and will go back tomorrow. Briefly chatted with the owner wearing Friday the 13th t-shirt. A man after my heart. Was probably amused by the Chino habla Espanol....
