    Basically, a creative steakhouse, with some other stuff…read more Three of us hit the place up for a Sunday "brunch" outing. Of course, we had to try their lamb empanada - which, as you'll see, visually pales in comparison to pretty much everything else we had. But, not in flavor - great filling, great dough. 115 pesos. Grilled chorizo, poached egg, french fries tossed with a tasty pesto. What's not to like? The most brunchy thing we had, and, I think, the best thing we had. 360 pesos. Pan-fried sweetbreads, charred corn, all over a potato rosti, and a sort of sweet and sour vegetable medley highlighted by candied carrots with star anise. Although the overall size of the dish was great, we kind of thought the sweetbread component was a bit skimpy for the price. 530 pesos. On to our main courses.... Great rib-eye steak, and a decent portion too (400 gms, just shy of a pound). Maybe a touch short of the medium rare requested, especially in the center near the bone. They don't season their steaks, which is a little odd, and we had to ask for salt, as there wasn't any on the table (a legal thing here in BA - saltshakers only on request). 725 pesos. It's hard to cook a steak as thin as an entraña, or hanger steak, to a correct temperature, but they nailed this one at medium rare. Again, unseasoned. They have an okay chimichurri, but it's made with all dried spices and herbs, better was their excellent salsa criolla. 655 pesos. Good flavors, but slightly disappointing texture on the garrón, a "forearm" of lamb - it just hadn't been braised long enough and was still chewy. Good couscous. 740 pesos. And one of the selection of "casserole" side dishes for the table - roasted cauliflower with lots of cheesy bechamel and a spicy "brava" sauce. 260 pesos. Not a cheap outing, especially adding in a bottle of wine (with a wine list that runs about 70-80% over retail prices, and the cheapest bottle on the list being 620 pesos). But a tasty one, and a place I'd go back to - though a pricey outing, at 1700 pesos apiece with tip, almost $30 each.

    Was recommended this location by a local Argentinian. He said this is where the actual Argentinians…read morego to eat. And he was right, I was the only out of town-er in the place lol. Unless you know exactly what you want, and you can eat a ton, I would recommend going with the sample platter option. You get a ton of food, so don't worry, it's more than just a sample. You can always sample more. First of all, don't make the same mistake that I did. Do not get filled up on the bread or anything that they bring. You don't have to finish it all. Wait for the meats at the end. I can't go on to tell you which meat is the best, they were all phenomenal. It's going to be a choice of personal preference. We decided to get a nice bottle of wine, which was called Saint Felicien. It was a delicious small bag that paired beautifully with the meats. The ambience is incredible here. So lively, I could imagine what it would look like during a soccer game. People were all super friendly, and it just has a great vibe to it. The kind of food hall seems that you see in the movies where everyone's having a blast and talking to their family and laughing all about well enjoying great food. If you are going to Buenos Aires, this is a must see. Or should I say must eat lol it's gonna be one of my top recommendations to anyone that goes to Argentina. Hope to visit this place again.

And it looked really good. It's about a 20 to 25min drive from downtown BA but worth trying out if you want something a little different.
