Hmm, mixed emotions about my visit. I will say the highlight was the chimichurri. I could put that on EVERYTHING! And the beer, they get points for that too. Not to mention the service was excellent. Perhaps I'm just not used to this type of food, whatever the case, it wasn't my cup of tea.
The second you walk in you'll notice it's a no frills joint with this huge deli case (which I didn't expect to see) front and center taking up most of the restaurant. And even more strange the raw meat & ready made items in the same case. At this point I was just hoping I didn't leave with a terrible stomach ache. Somehow I managed to leave unscathed.
The empanadas were tasty but lacked that flaky texture you'd expect from freshly made empanadas. We ordered the Parillada Argentina. Although sweetbreads aren't my thing, I was told they were very tasty. I tried it by mistake thinking it was chicken. One and done. That was enough for me. Doubt I'll ever be a fan of sweetbreads. The filet mignon was a tad overcooked. I had asked for medium, but it was definitely well-done. The outside was pretty rough and took some effort to cut with my steak knife. It did have a great flavor though so that could've been easily fixed.
All in all, glad I ventured out to try something new. Love the mom & pop/family owned restaurant vibe here which is rare in this city.
And the fact that they had an actual changing table in the restroom, not that bulky plastic one you see everywhere else, made it feel like home or visiting relatives. Probably won't be back but glad to check another bookmark off my list.
