Carne is my favorite burger and I've inhabited this place every time I visit Argentina. Granted…read moreI've only been here twice but it doesn't fall short of amazing and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite burgers. They should try to expand to the US because they would kill in the burger game! I usually order the burger completa which comes with a beef patty, fried egg, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, bacon, and pickles. Even the bun is tasty! The fries are sliced fresh and fried in front of you. The first time I had the burger the egg was a little runny which I prefer. The second time around it was cooked all the way through and a tad more dry. The ketchup at this place is tasty too and homemade. I usually order the pomelo water which was okay but sometimes can be bitter. Overall solid 5 stars from me because you can't get fresher than this and the Argentine beef patty was just amazing!

One of those legendary places that somehow or other we've never gotten to. We're talking about a…read morehistory that goes back to... 1750! At that point, it wasn't a restaurant, it was what was called a pulperia, sort of a combo general store, with a focus on food, and some pre-prepared food for people to buy and take with them. In 1873, it was converted to a restaurant, and it's been open as one ever since - 146 years of continuous operation! About as classic local decor as you can get - a combo of knickknacks and futbol memorabilia. A very good tortilla española. Not the best one we've ever had, but cooked right, with a still gooey interior. Potatoes, chorizo, onions. A touch more salt would have livened it up, but we ate every bite. They're famous for their rabas, fried squid rings, and, I think, justifiably so. First off, they're thick, plump rings of calamari. Instead of being breaded, they're just dusted in flour and fried to a beautiful gold. Simply served with lemon and salt on the side. Delicious, though slightly uneven in the cooking - while most of the rings were tender, maybe 20% of them were a little rubbery. Several main courses are touted as their long time specialties, with a party of four of us, we went with two of them (portions are massive). Rabbit cooked in white wine with roasted potato slices. Yum. Yum. Yum. And, more than one reviewer has touted these folk as offering the best version of Suprema Maryland, the classic fried chicken cutlet with ham, roasted pepper, creamed corn, shoestring potatoes, and a fried banana. You can read the story about this dish on an earlier post of mine. It's one of the best versions of this dish I've had prepared truly traditionally. I still like the version at Gambrinus more, but it's not classic, substituting German sausage for the ham and french fries for the shoestrings. But either one, any time. Neither of them beat the one at Aquiles, but that's way too far away to go just for this dish. Service was friendly and relatively quick. Pricing looks somewhat expensive until you realize that every dish is prepared in a portion for 2-4 people. I'm not even sure there are any individual sized dishes offered on the menu. Appetizers generally run around 300-400 pesos, while main courses hover around the 450-550 peso mark.

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.
