Purchased a groupon and I was rather surprised that they were offering one as this place is located in a high touristy area with lots of other restaurants nearby and it was busy when we arrived (but seated immediately). We started off with the basket of bread with compounded butter and other tapenades, which was very good and fresh. I ordered the chicken milanesa and my friend ordered the steak milanesa. Both were decently sized and came with fries. Mine was good but not excellent. It was a bit confusing for me because it had marinara sauce so it was almost like I was having Italian food. We ended our meal with dessert: flan and chocolate mousse cake. The flan was just ok, not custardy the way I like but the cake was excellent! As for service, although the restaurant was busy, our server was lacking a bit (appeared to be the host as well), but very kind and friendly. I won't be in the area again anytime soon, but I would frequent this restaurant again and try other menu items (perhaps happy hour as well).

I went here on a dinner date on Sunday evening and had such a great time. It's rated as a $$$, but I was impressed with the lower prices for the quality of food. We ordered the: - Sangria--large, not overly sweet, and fresh-tasting - Fernet con coca--exactly as it's described on the menu and deliciously strong in flavor - Bread - Churrasco - Entraña - Flan I ordered the Churrasco medium (I wish I'd ordered it medium rare!) and the Entraña was medium rare. Both were delicious cuts and prepared perfectly. We both loved the charcoal smokiness that gave flavor without overpowering. The flan dessert was delicious too. The flan itself was a little denser than what I was used to, which I liked, and the caramel on top was very sweet! Our server and busser were attentive and helpful. He brought out my order and quickly realized it wasn't cooked to what I asked, then took it back and quickly brought the right one. We didn't need to ask for more water or anything else because they kept track without bothering us. Overall, a great experience! Love the venue too, it's bigger than it looks outside and is decorated nicely. Would recommend!

An empty restaurant at 5 pm is usually not a good sign. Maybe because it was a weekend but overall we were pleasantly surprised. We were seated right away at the bar area, probably to make it easier for the bar tender to wait on us. We ordered: Bread and Chimichurri, bread was fresh and it also came with olives, Rabas Mixtas, the calamari was a bit chewy but the shrimp and veggies had a great taste. Unfortunately, after I ordered server came to say he was out of Picana which was the main reason we came , we went with his recommendation of Entraña, skirt steak, well seasoned and cooked to my liking but not what I wanted. We also had Milanesa al Caballo, according to my husband it was delicious. We ended strong with dessert, Milhojas and Chocolate cake both very decadent. The have a full bar and serve non alcoholic drinks as well. Overall a good experience. Maybe we'll come back to experience the dining room and the piano which we saw when we walked in.

What a great experience on a Tuesday evening! I called almost a month prior to make early birthday reservations for our son & our visit was definitely worth it! My coworker came here a few years ago and recommended the sweet breads. I've been a fan of watching Andrew Zimmern & Anthony Bourdain for the longest. And I was so excited to finally try some sweet breads. I asked if our server could explain to everyone in our party which part the sweetbreads came from cattle- which he explained is not pan dulce (LOL) but, from the neck area. Everyone in our group LOVED this as a starter! Each bite just feels decadent. Rich in flavor, tender, and crispy on the edges. I enjoyed every bite with sips of Malbec along with chimichurri and bits of warm bread. As our evening continued on- patrons were piling in on that Tuesday evening. The short rib plate (asado de tira) and requested medium on the grill. All plates are made to order and the short ribs are flank cut w/ bone in. Steamed veggies are plentiful (carrots, broccoli, fresh green beans, and asparagus). I love how the "Meant to be Shared" platter options. Hubby and I plan on returning to indulge in this option.

The food is always amazing. Tonight was no exception. It was packed and the service was a bit slower than average, but not bad at all. The atmos is always cozy and inviting. The singer was either too loud or we were too sensative. This is the place for a great and tasty meal at a reasonable price. Gotta go and gotta go now.

The steak was good and the atmosphere was nice. It was quiet when I visited and I enjoyed that

I visited after trying their food at a Yelp event. The steak was delicious and the atmosphere was cute. The prices seemed very fair. I'm only taking one star away for the slow service. They weren't busy and didn't appear to be understaffed but it took an eternity for someone to come take my order. When I was nearly done with dinner I had to ask for more water. Still the staff were polite, just not sure what the holdup was. Also it's little Italy so be prepared to drive around or pay dearly for parking (nearest paid lot was something like $20 for 2 hrs).

**Review: Amazing Experience!** I found this place on Yelp, and I'm so glad I did! Looking for a birthday dinner spot with options for my child, this place stood out for its meat offerings. We made reservations a week in advance. Parking was easy to find on the street or in nearby lots. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly and offered drinks and appetizers. I wanted to try the sangria, but wanted my first choice to be a mixed drink, however it was unavailable, I opted for the 43 Pina. It was strong and delicious! For appetizers, we had spinach and cheese empanadas, bread with chimichurri, and chorizo--all fantastic. My husband ordered the popular entraña, my son had the churrasco, and I enjoyed the fettuccini cuatro quesos. Each dish was mouthwatering; I even regretted not adding steak to my meal (I meant too)! When I ordered the sangria, I was surprised to see options for red and white. I chose red but quickly found my husband's white (chardonnay, rum, and homemade juices and fruit pieces) to be the star of the show and may have enjoyed both!!. It was the best sangria I've ever had! From the service to the food and ambience, everything was top-notch. There were coat hangers available, which was a nice touch. I'll definitely be back, and I hope they consider offering a bottle of that amazing white sangria to-go!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at the Argentinian restaurant in Little Italy in San Diego, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! I ordered my favorite cut of meat, the Entrana, a classic Argentinian meat cut. At $36 for a 12oz steak, it's extremely reasonably priced for San Diego. The steak was cooked to perfection and came with a generous serving of chimichurri, enhancing the flavors beautifully. Husband tried the Picana steak which he enjoyed. Another standout dish was the Pulpo. The marinated then sautéed octopus with olive oil, garlic, parsley, potatoes, and paprika is absolutely delicious. The flavors were vibrant and perfectly balanced, making each bite a delight. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch. If you're in Little Italy and craving authentic Argentinian cuisine, this place is a must-visit! Highly recommend!
