When we first pulled up to the restaurant there was a line out the door. It turns out that they…read morehave a Togo area which is always busy. We came here with 14 people and although we made reservations weeks ago they told us that they could not find it. After a bit of chaos we were seated at a long table in the first room. The restaurant is not by any means upscale or fancy. It's colorful, small, and packed with full tables of people. It's actually extremely hard to get around because it's so cramped. When the food started coming out I realized what all the hype was about and why it was so busy. All the food Is served family style so they put plates in the middle of the table and you pass and serve it yourself. They started us off with different salads, potatoes, grilled provolone and more appetizers. All of which were great. They then come around and bring you different cuts of meat one at time. It ranges from chicken to pork to steak. We ate ribs, filet, skirt steak, pork, etc. Every single cut was juicy, flavorful and there was so many options that everyone was able to find something they enjoyed. The servers were so entertaining and made sure everyone was stuffed by the time we left. So lack of food will never be a problem here. Soda and water along with desert is included in the price per person. Since it was my grandmothers birthday a few days ago they brought out an individual desert with her that had a huge sparkler in the middle. They turn of the lights and turn on a disco ball and play a happy birthday song in both English and Spanish. The entire experience was very authentic and lets you taste a lot of different Argentinian dishes. The only bad thing was that for some reason the water in the bathrooms stopped working so the toilets wouldn't flush and it was a mess.

It's made all the difference, as there's nothing better to soak in the local culture. Cervantes II is a parilla, a restaurant focussed on the grilling of beef. (Non-beef alternatives include chicken, pork, seafood, salads, and even ravioli with tomato sauce.) Parillas focus on serving a variety of dishes, quality food, quick service, and low prices. And quantity. Each order will be more food than you imagine. As written previously (and I translate badly from the Spanish), Cervantes II is "a neighborhood tavern, a large inn, with large capacity and frequently overcrowded with people waiting by the door." It's true; it's always full. Don't let this scare you: the service and turn-over is fast; you'll be sitting shortly. There's also take-out. We've come here several times, trying different things, working through the menu. Recommendations -- thus far -- include rabas (calamari), matambre (fried pork), bife de chorizo (top sirloin steak), and bife de lomo (tenderloin steak). Everything is made to order, there's free Wi-Fi, and there's never any feeling of being rushed from the table. Enjoy.
