    We had a wonderful dinner for father' day! Definitely a go to spot for any celebration. I highly recommend the empanadas, as it is one of their best appetizers. The tortilla soup was also delicious!! For drinks I recommend the sangria. It tasted fresh with a lot of fresh fruit. The best part was the service! All the servers were extremely attentive and wonderful. The seats are very comfortable and very accommodating for big groups.

    Amazing Argentinian style restaurant with a beautiful set up and atmosphere. Service is excellent and the food is incredible. We have returned several times and have even done pick up orders. Their selection is impressive and there is something for everyone. My daughter is very particular about her food and she enjoyed it a lot.

    This place is very romantic. The meat was delicious, the service was excellent. Going back is a must.

    Came here for my company's Christmas Dinner. First time here and let me tell you that this place definitely didn't disappoint!....from the Empanadas to the Tetuano to the main entrees, everything was cooked beautifully. Given I had weight loss surgery a few months back, I can't finish a full meal, so my co-worker and I shared and chose the Filet Mignon as well as the Pampera Salad. The filet mignon was cooked to perfection...it was wrapped with caramelized bacon! When taking a bite, the meat would be soft and would melt in your mouth. We tried the other cuts, Arrachera & Rib Eye. By far, the Arrachera was the best cut of the night! It's a definitely a great place to dine with a group of friends, company dinners or even a date/anniversary....the staff was amazing and helpful! Drinks were also delicious!

    Sangria

    We tried this place out bc of the Yelp review. The gps took us in a big circle! No parking you need to valet park. The sangria is delicious! They are not stingy with the alcohol. The cappuccino has a nice flavor to it. The meat plate is dinner for 3- very juicy, delicious and tender! I can not complain. The empanadas were Good but not my favorite. The dough was a little off, kind weird taste. The service is ok. our server did his job, not the talkative type. He did what he had to do like take your order, bring the food, clear the table etc. not a talkative person at all. Kinda awkward if may add. The valet guy just parked our car with the butt taking up oncoming traffics lane. the cars were beeping at us in anger! Tipped him too well for his sloppy axx job! Other than that, this place I would go back after exploring other places.

    Very excellent Argentino steak house. Very traditional and quite delicious way of enjoying quality meat. Meat is of exceptional quality even before preparation so the simple preparation just adds to the quality of the meal. Have eaten here several times over the years and it is always exceptional. Service is excellent and there is a huge variety of choices, you cannot go wrong whatever you decide on for your meal. Excellent appetizers as well. To be honest I have never left enough room to try their desserts but am sure they must be just as good as everything else on the menu. Excellent wine list and excellent cocktails. Not an appreciator of beer so I have actually never paid attention to the beer menu. Highly recommended this establishment you should definitely give it a try.

    One of my favorite restaurants in the Playa del Rio area, where all the high end restaurants are. They offer both outside and inside seating, and the smell of the meat grilling really draw you in. Inside, they have the grill on full display and the griller preparing the meats. The meat is cooked to order, although like many Mexican bbq restaurants I try they tend to undercook the meat to my liking, so I usually order medium instead of medium rare and it comes out great. Service and food quality is excellent here, upon sitting down the give you a digestif, their boiling hot beef broth in a little shot glass. It's amazing and really whets your appetite. There's a lot of variety on the menu and resembles the best of any Argentinian restaurant I've been to. For the appetizer I highly recommend the combination platter, or Combinación de mollejas, chorizo argentino, chistorra y morcilla which includes sweetbread (fried pancreas) and chorizo among others. For the entree I usually go with a rib eye steak, although there are different varieties of meats and fish. Really enjoy my experience each time I'm here and I've brought others as well. People are super nice, and it's about a $3-4 Uber ride from downtown. Highly recommend!

    All I can say is that this is my new go to spot. Both our steaks were cooked to perfection. I was really impressed by the safety measure they have. They checked our temperature, gave us hand sanitizer, made us step on a wet mat that probably had some sort of disinfectant. Very clean inside. Social distancing is practiced here so we felt very safe. The octopus was soooo delicious. Highly recommended restaurant.

    Best steak! So juicy, tender and flavorful!

    Best medium rare steak I've ever tried! This is coming from someone who only orders well done. The meat has the right amount of flavor! Portions are big! Will definitely be coming back every time I'm in TJ!

The rest was mixed: * Penne Arrabbiata had decent flavor but was a bit dry. * Salmon Meunière was good, though the mashed potatoes were dry. * Pescado Fiorentina was very good and the standout among the mains. The full bar is great, but the wine selection is limited. A memorable stop with some highs and a few misses.

    Checked this spot out this past Mexican Independence Day due to the good reviews. It's located in…read morethe Zona Rio area, which is an area packed with very well-regarded, highly-rated restaurants in TJ. The restaurant is located directly behind the TGI Friday's on General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada Boulevard. Got there around 1:30 pm, not too long after they opened. Not many people in there, though that wasn't surprising given that it was a Monday and a federal holiday. One thing I love about Mexican fine dining restaurants is they tend to be very lax on dress code; I was dressed casually but that wasn't a problem. I don't think they technically have a dress code, though a comparable fine dining steak restaurant in the U.S. might not have let me in given that I was casually (although neatly) dressed. Was nearly empty so was seated immediately. Waiter was an older male who spoke pretty good English. Was brought out Acqua Panna spring water while I looked over the menu. I first ordered a frozen strawberry margarita (209 pesos or roughly $11). The margarita was solid and tasty. For my meal I decided to go with the petit ribeye (300g ribeye), which came with a complimentary side (chose mashed potatoes) and the soup of the day (potatoes and cream). The petit ribeye was 1389 pesos (~$73 USD). While waiting for the main meal, they brought out bread and then the soup (which came with crackers). Really liked the soup. The bread was perfectly fine, though nothing special. They provided standard crackers but there were also some very large, circular crackers they provided that I didn't really like. After finishing the soup and bread they brought out the ribeye and potatoes. Both were very good, the ribeye in particular was well-cooked and tasty. Not the best ribeye I've had in my life or anything like that, but it was solid. I also liked the spicy sauce and pico condiments that came with the meal. The ribeye and margarita came to 1598 pesos total; after tip the total bill came out to around $100 USD. While I enjoyed the meal, I don't think I'd return to El Grill at that price point. I've had better steak/ribeye meals for less even in the U.S. and had better meals for much less in TJ. But the meal here was good and I'd still recommend for anyone who's never been, just as a place to check out. The waiter and customer service overall was great and very attentive.

    One of my absolute favorite places to visit every time I'm in TJ!!!!…read more The meat there is not even comparable to any of the places here in the United States. They have much more open food selection with much wider variety either Mexican or regular American style food. They will literally always at all times be passing by with meat, you would literally get sick of it and just have to turn the sign off (even then they still come with meat lol) The service is absolutely top notch and they made sure that we have everything we needed! Even come by all the time to see if there's any meat we would like to request so they could bring it for us!!!! That's just never happened with us before!!!!!!! We had a birthday there, and I tell you they really know how to do a celebration right, you will get the very much loud and fun birthday shoutout. Also they will make you chug a shot and shake your head like they do over there. It was so special and to be remembered. Parking structure is small there, but they do have valet and they'll take care of it for you. (I believe it's only valet parking there, I could be wrong. But we got the valet parking) Price can't be beat for the quality and amount of food. Absolute steal. 2 people on a weekend with a birthday celebration and couple soft drinks and water came to be about $80ish-$90. Which if you know how much Brazilian steakhouses in the US cost, you'd know how good of a deal that is!!!!!!!! Overall, it really sucks that this place is far away, otherwise I'd have been there every weekend :) But it is a stable to go to every time I'm in Mexico.
