    Cafe Buenos Aires had good service, and a lovely setup for outdoor dining on a pleasant evening. The menu has a nice range of appetizer and entree options, and they serve up quite a few wines and cocktails too. But I'll be honest, my meal fell a bit flat. I got the flap steak medium rare. The temperature was wrong (it came out closer to medium well), and the sides were disappointing. The mashed potatoes were the right texture, and the sautéed veggies looked good on the plate, but both seriously lacked any seasoning. They were so bland, the only part of the meal that had any flavor was the bleu cheese on top of the steak. Everything else was plain. Overall, I was expecting a bit more for an Argentinian place on the pricier side. It was fine, just not a meal that stood out to me.

    The restaurant was very nice inside and had a lot of seating. The staff was very kind between me waiting for my party and sitting. The waiters was also great and checked on us often. I was here for a work dinner, so we ordered many things to try. To start we ordered a white and red sangira. I only had the red and it was good, but I do prefer mine sweeter than this, as I am not a fan of wine in general. For our tapas I tried the dates, octopus-pulpo, carne skewer, and calamares fritos. The dates were very good, with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and savory. The octopus was cooked perfectly and seasoned amazingly. The carne skewer was very tender, but I do want to note that the bacon is not crispy, as it is baked on the skewer, which I surprisingly loved. The calamari was also perfectly cooked and came with a great sauce. For my entree, I had the gnocchi. It was also perfectly cooked and the ingredients contrasted each other amazingly. The sauce was very light and creamy, the goat cheese added the perfect creaminess and tang, the mushrooms added some earthy flavors, and the shirtrib added some fat and protein. The dinner portion was large enough for me to take half of it home. For dessert I shared the crepe. If you like sweets and caramel this is perfect for you. It's a crepe filled with dulce de leche with a couple slices of caramelized banana and vanilla ice cream on the side. Overall the food and service was great, so I will be coming again with family.

    Was here with the family and we ordered the Almejas, Stuffed Clams, and Pork Belly (special) for appetizers. While for our entrees we ordered the Skirt Steak and Mixed Grill for 2. All 3 appetizers were delicious, especially the pork belly. It had a texture of butter, and the polenta too melted in my mouth. The Skirt Steak and its accompanying roasted vegetables were wonderful, as was the tomato salad it came with. Though the tomato used was underripe, it was still enjoyable. As for the mixed grill, every piece of meat well overcame my expectations, save for the beef rib. Unfortunately while incredibly flavorful, it was so chewy to the point of almost being inedible. This aspect and the fries being a bit undercooked is what's keeping my review from reaching a 5. The service and ambience otherwise was all perfect and I would ask nothing more of them.

    We took my daughter here for her birthday and whoever the chef is he or she knows what they are doing. I. Had the Octopus -Pulpo which is grilled octopus with white beans and potatoes that was melt in your mouth tender. 1 Ropa Vieja (braised beef hash) A++ 2 Gambas Alajillo (sauteed shrimp and garlic sauce) A 3 Ostras (oysters Rockefeller) A+ 4 grilled octopus with white beans) A I'm not going to leave out our waitress Samantha who was outstanding.

    This restaurant has been around a long time and for good reason. I have been coming here for many years. The food is always excellent with daily specials that add to the excellent selection. The staff is always circling and checking on you. The place is spacious allowing it not to be too loud even with a good amount of people. I love the tapas way of eating giving you a myriad of different foods throughout your meal.

    Perfect vacio asado (flap steak) , my fave choice when craving steak in Huntington.
    Greg F.

    One of my favorite places to dine in Huntington Village. My wife and I have been coming here since 2009 and it has never let us down. I don't get a craving for steak that often, but when I do, one of my favorite meals is their vacio asado (flap steak), perfectly cooked medium rare with blue cheese, Malbec reduction, mushrooms, peppers and onions, and mashed potatoes, washed down with more Malbec of course. You must try it! Other winning dishes I've had over the years include the ribeye special (for our anniversary dinner a few years back), the paella and seafood special, figs in Serrano, garlic shrimp, canelones, etc. I recently tried the almejas (clams with chorizo); a couple were a bit too chewy but the flavor and broth were amazing. For cocktails, I have enjoyed their caipirinha and sangria, and they make a great pisco sour, but really, what you want to drink here is the Malbec, which goes perfectly with the food. Sometimes we come here just to sit at the bar and sip some Malbecs.

    Sweetbreads! So hard to find but when you do you hope they taste like this! Had a Groupon. Well worth the money. Son & I came here on a Sunday around 3pm. We were the only customers so the service was awesome. Vodka tonics were on point also. The small plates were all delicious but the standout for me was the sweetbreads! So tender and sooo flavorful! The best I've had out in a restaurant to date. The empanadas were all good. The mixed grill was a bit pricey for $72 but enough for several meals afterwards. The short ribs were my favorite. The lamb chops were a bit gamey. The black sausage was a little bland. But the steaks & grilled vegetables were outstanding. Definitely will be back! Visited on 12-1-2019

    We had good and hearty meal last night at Cafe Buenos Aires! The owner Hugo came over and talked to us for a long time about Buenos Aries since we will probably visit his hometown in March. Waitress was great and the food is excellent!! The seafood special has mussels, clams, filet of sole and calamari rings. The broth was tomato and coconut milk and had a lot of flavor without being overpowering. BF had seafood paella with mussels, calamari and rice. The sauce was delicious!! I love coming here!! 9/15/19 This is a great hangout for Huntington Village. Hugo wasn't here tonight so it wasn't a stellar plus the waiter wasn't as great as Chelsea but the food was delicious!! We had ceviche and octopus and they were both as good as ever and Bf had the paella with seafood. Sauvignon blanc was perfect too!! My only complaint is the waiter was wearing too much cologne. When you are working as a food server, lay off the perfume and cologne. It interferes with the food taste 11/27/19 Again the waiter was wearing a bottle of cologne and it DID interfere with the food. Where is Chelsea when I need her. . We ordered a red wine from Argentina and the kids and Bf enjoyed it. We had seafood paella, mussels, octopus, ceviche and the kids wanted sausage so they gobbled that up. It was a good dinner but not amazing like the first time.

    Best dish of the night! Flan!

    It pains me when I have to give a restaurant a low rating. We arrived at 6:30 as always parking was insane in Huntington. They didn't have any tables available so we were given one by the bar a pretty small table but we took it. We had to keep our coats on as every time some came in or exited we were hit a blast of cold air. So small table plus coats for the entire evening so uncomfortable! It was restaurant week and it was a better option so we went with that. Appetizers Spinach Gnocchi- Tasty! Better than expected due to reviews. Just the right amount of truffle oil where it's overpowering. Gnocchi cooked perfectly. The cream sauce and shiitake mushrooms yum! Only let down was the baby scallops it's bread and fried and then place on top. It was so soggy! Beef and Chicken Empanadas- Also were tasty!!I preferred the chicken it was nice and juicy. The apps took 35 mins to come out! At that point they weren't too busy so I was surprised how long it took. Entrees Seafood Paella- Yikes the rice was wet but very hard. It hasn't been cooked all the way so it was hard,grainy and crunchy with each bite. Not good! Seafood that was over cooked! Just a big miss of a dish! Lemon white wine sole and shrimp with mashed potatoes- the combo didn't work for me but just a personal preference. The sauce on it was good but there wasn't much leaving the fish and mashed potatoes so dry! I asked for more on the side what I received was melted butter. I used my fiancées drink lemons to add some acid to it. Again, another dish that was a miss. Entrees Took an additional 40 mins to come out. Dessert Flan- absolutely a must! Delicious with a side of dulce de leche yum! Bread pudding with ice cream- this one fell flat. We are big bread pudding fans! It was very dry no sort of sauce on top but I assume that's why they serve it with ice cream. Drinks Red sangria- Yikes the reviews were way off! It tasted like bottled juice! No fruits inside definitely didn't taste homemade. All these great reviews made me think one of these two things- it was an off night or unfortunately these people haven't had a good sangria in their life! Hahaha! My fiancée ordered an unfamiliar cocktail that was made with the incorrect alcohol. Great service on this end they changed it quickly and also noticed he was unhappy with it and came back with another on the house which tasted much better! Our server was sweet but definitely inexperienced which is fine but she could've used some help. Some hits but way more misses. Perhaps an off night ? I mean they have all these stellar reviews?! Overall, I won't be back left pretty dissatisfied.

    Exceeded expectations on a mild weekday evening. Lisa E. and I grabbed a sidewalk table. Perhaps an inconvenience for our waitstaff on a Monday evening, service however excelled. My 5 o'clock somewhere began with a well made bourbon cocktail. Well balanced, refreshing with citrus and mint. Crusty bread with a verdant dipping sauce kept the hunger pangs at bay while we caught up on each other's day. Lisa E. opted for tapas for dinner, stuffed dates and a small seafood paella. I was drawn to the costeleta de corda (roasted pork chop), some of my favorite ingredients in the description, pistachio, figs, bacon, asparagus. Took a chance and agreed to medium doneness, as the chef suggested. No worries...... a nice exterior crust, tender moist flavorful interior. The port wine demi a perfect addition to each bite. As good as the chop was, there was something really special about the side dish. A slice of a casserole of roasted potato, bacon, onion, and fig. First bite, all the flavors melding together, a silky satisfying mouthful. Going out less and less due to circumstances, it's so nice when everything (setting, service, meal, companion) falls into place to make a memorable experience.

    Parking? Free or Municipal?

    Street and municipal. Weekends and good weather pack the downtown so either be prepared to walk or pay for parking.

    Although the food here is excellent I have to take 2 stars off for deception. 1. There are no…read moreprices listed on the drinks menu or on the dessert menu, none of which turned out to be cheap by any means. Of course, in many situations, most would be too embarrassed to ask. 2. There are no signs anywhere letting customers know that 20% gratuity is included to the bill no matter how small or large the party is (it was just 2 of us). That is illegal. A restaurant has to have clear signs indicating the charge. 3. Ordered the grilled meats for 2 and asked if sweetbreads can be added to the platter. I was told - absolutely. Instead we were given a whole extra entree of sweetbreads and charged accordingly. One other unpleasant situation was with the appetizers. We ordered the appitezer sampler which is huge. After about 15 minutes of enjoying it a waiter ran up and with the words: "Do you want this to go?? THE FOOD IS COMING! THE FOOD IS COMING!!" Grabbed the platter as I was literally halfway into grabbing a piece of calamari..

    5 stars: Paella valenciana 5 stars: very attentive service…read more(notably the waiter who would sing/celebrate birthdays) 4 stars: skirt steak 3 stars: tres leches Other notes: easy to make reservations online, street parking can be tough on peak nights, skip the empanadas and Americano coffee, many tvs in main dining room - we saw mexico/Uruguay soccer.
