Rumor had it that their tortillas are among the best in the city. There are several choices, we…read morewent with a classic tortilla española. And it's huge as an appetizer for two. We ended up bringing half of it home. 250 pesos And, it's not just a pretty shell - it really is, I'm fairly certain, the best tortilla española I've ever had. It's packed with not quite set egg (optionally, you can ask for it well cooked through - they ask your preference when you order), perfectly cooked potatoes, peas, green onions, and cantimpalo sausage. We'd have both been happy just splitting that for lunch and calling it a day. Our waiter had very nicely let us know that all the portions are huge and that even just ordering the tortilla and one main course was likely more than we could finish. He was right - as I said, we took half the tortilla home, and this shellfish rice, unlike so many of them here that are all rice and a few scattered bits of shellfish, was jam packed with calamari, scallops, mussels, and shrimp. We ate a little over half of it as is, and then picked out all the rest of the shellfish. I guess we could have left it as is and brought half of it home too! 380 pesos. Overall, a really enjoyable place for lunch if you're out in Colegiales, and worth the trip if you're not. Very happily recommended.

Absolutely stunning outdoor cafe seating! Delicious Peruvian cuisine in a beautiful location. The…read morestaff was super accommodating and helpful (we were tourists with a sub-par understanding of Spanish ) and they helped us navigate the menu and actually took the time to explain what things were that we were unfamiliar with. The seafood wontons were delicious, and my husband had the catch of the day with tacu tacu (a Peruvian dish that is rice, beans and spices) that was fantastic! I had the seafood spaghetti and it was delicious with a silky sauce that coated the noodles perfectly . The ceviche (Asian style) was the standout of the meal though-made with the catch of the day- it had sesame oil, chilis, and crushed peanuts on it , in a fresh citrus dressing. We loved our meal here! The piece sours are good too! Reservations are a must!

Everything else I eat was very disappointing. The causa.... Why call it a causa.... A causa it is not... And flavor wise was very lacking... Moving on to the pasta and breaded fish . The pasta was horrible. It was the first time in my life I couldn't finish pasta. On my book (as an Italian) it is sacrilegious to throw it away but that's what Happen and the fish was very bland and didn't tasted fresh at all. A shame I won't be coming back.

Way overpriced. Slow service We ordered the tortilla, which…read morewas normal and dry and a couple other dishes that were nothing to write home about but priced as so. Recommend Esperanzo de LOS ascurro instead.

A group of six of us enjoyed dinner at La Robla on a Saturday evening. We were seated at a huge…read moreround booth that was comfortable. Service in Argentina is slower than in the U.S., so adjust your expectations. Unfortunately, our server was even slower than we normally experience in BA and seemed depressed. Even in BA our expectation is that a basket of bread (or something) and menus would be brought to the table within a couple of minutes. Instead, we sat with nothing until the server appeared 15 minutes later. It took another 15 minutes for her to return. Very disappointing service. We ordered a pair of tortillas as an appetizer, which were perfectly fine, and then several paellas to share as a communal dinner. The portions were very generous, but amounted to a great deal of rice and not much seafood. very ordinary and uninspired. Such a shame for a Spanish restaurant. We used to come here often when it was inhabited by an excellent restaurant called Roof. We were dismayed when it closed. The ambiance, was upscale, dark and sexy. Service was excellent. Understandably wanting to establish their own personality on the space, La Robla changed the ambiance completely. It would be okay, but the bright lighting destroys any sense of .atmosphere or drama. Food: 3 stars Service: 2 stars Ambiance: 3 stars This space, which quite large, has so much potential and could be easily transformed by a skilled designer into something special But none of that matters when you almost never get a visit from your server.

This place had the best Venezuelan food to offer while I stayed in Argentina for 3 months. My…read moregirlfriend and I first tried this place because it was down the street from where we lived. The owner was very helpful with the menu. Our spanish wasn't good so he guided us through the selection of food. They definitely have a lot of patience there, that's for sure. We ended up going with the arepas. My girlfriend fell in love after the first bite! We had tried arepas once, but it was a colombian/korean fusion style that was good, but just didn't compare to the one at la cabonera. The owner had mentioned that on saturday afternoon was empanada day. I have a great love for empanadas, so we were there! I am so happy that we found out about empanada day. It is something very special. I don't know if a lot of people know it but, each and every empanada is made to order. That is as fresh as it can get!! The wife owner sits in the back the whole time flattening the masa, filling it up, and folding it, all by hand! There's a lot of love put into these empanadas. The moment you bite into it, angels come down from the heavens and sing to you. It's totally different from an argentine empanada because it's corn instead of the flour and i love that. It is the crunchiest empanada i've ever bitten into. I love the mechada, which is the shredded beef. The meat stays super tender and juicy inside it's masa house. Pair it with their papelon and that's it! Amazing
