    I absolutely love this place. While many of my favorites have come and gone over the years, this…read moreone has stayed and continues to provide great steaks. While this place has been here since 1962, the first time I came was in 1993. I love it here because it is a classic, old-school restaurant, between the decor, the waiters and the grill as you walk in. The service has gone downhill a bit over the last couple of years, but I find that if you connect with your waiter when you finally get him to your table, he will check on you more often. They have a great wine list as well. The steaks are some of the best I have had, and I love that they bring your steak on a steel plate over a charcoal fire- do not let them take the grill- I love putting the fat on there to render away and then ladle it over my steak- so much better than butter! The fries are to die for, as is the Morcilla- so good and creamy- if you like that! I am usually too full for dessert, but I recently had their ice cream- so good and creamy!

Thank goodness for Goggle Translate, we were able to fully understand the menu and communicate with our waiter. The restaurant is very authentic and has an open grilling area for client viewing. Order ribs and the wife ordered chicken. The meals came with fries. Both meals were excellent. They accepted credit cards.

    What an amazing meal!! we were recommended to visit this place and it did not disappoint. Our…read morewaiter was very attentive and the restaurant was very nice and moody. The lighting made the ambiance very cool, but still conversational. We ordered a bunch of items, but that included the short ribs, the creamed kale, the squash, the spinach fritters, and a provoletta. The meat was amazing! Cooked to perfection. Even our friend who is vegetarian tried and thought it was delicious. We loved everything, and did not have leftovers to take home. The natural wine was also a standout! So delicious and worth every drop. For a Michelin recommended restaurant it was standard, but truly a delicious and great meal.

    Amazing small restaurant in the Recoleta area. Received a Michelin Bib Gourmand. It's small and…read morecozy. Very friendly service. Our waiter Fernando was awesome, friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. We were tired of eating meat everyday and opted for pastas. We started with a bottle of Malbec and Meat Empanadas. The empanadas and accompanying chimichurri were excellent- probably the best we'd had in Buenos Aires. I chose the stuffed pasta. This was outstanding, right portioned and super tasty. Transported me to Italy. We ended with the decadent crepe with dulce de Leche. This was a letdown as the crepe was over cooked, but the dulce de Leche was delicious. Overall, a great experience and I would highly recommend. Total cost was around $80 for 2.

    Taking over the spot that was El Tejano originally, if I understand things correctly, Ronald, who…read moreruns this place, was the chef for Larry, who owns El Tejano (now, as far as I know, only to be found at El Alamo's two bars... the original on Uruguay and a new one on Córdoba). He either bought the place out, or just took over the lease when El Tejano left. He's given it a slight Dutch twist, when it comes to some of his sauces and spicing, and adding in menu items like bitterballen. With three of us at the counter on Sunday afternoon (normally he only opens at night Tuesday-Saturday, but occasionally he's in the mood to open Sunday lunch, and posts it on his Instagram account), and a sampler platter for two on offer, we asked if he could up the sampler to a tabla for three, and he was happy to oblige. This is a whopping sampler of meat - especially for the easy price of 400 pesos/person, a mere $7.25. For that, each person gets a fried empanada filled with his smoked pulled pork held together with Indonesian spicy peanut sauce - yum! - a smoked chorizo - more yum! - smoked and barbecued bondiola, pork shoulder - oh come on now, how many times can I say yum! - and two smoked ribs smothered in your choice of spicy or not "Lekker sauce", which is a slightly fruity, spicy blend that's delicious, though we found the ribs themselves a bit dry. The two smoked meats in the middle are livened up even more by your choice of his own housemade spicy mustard (we all want bottles of the stuff), or his Mortal hot sauce, which is a jalapeño sauce with a kick and flavor similar to Sriracha. Although not on the day's menu, he brought us out a couple of extras to sample - some smoked lomito, pork loin, that he's experimenting with. We liked it a lot - he asked what we thought it might go with - my thought was a sandwich with smoked cheese and kimchi (he's a friend of, and proponent of, Kimchi Buenos Aires, who I buy kimchi from when I don't make it myself. (Delivered to your door usually next day, and very reasonable, with a choice of styles!) He also brought us some plain and spicy curry bitterballen - a new one for all of us - a sort of squishy meatball (basically ground meat mixed with bechamel and spices and then breaded and fried) - both, well, more yum! Overall assessment? Some of the best smoked meat in Buenos Aires right now. (Before someone asks, simpers, or protests - let's see, I'd go to Lekker for the empanada, chorizo, and/or bondiola, and to El Tejano for the brisket, ribs, and chicken. I haven't encountered anywhere else in town that tops either of them in the smoked meat world.)

This place has the best ribs and hot sauce I have ever had in Baires. Highly recommended even though the actual place does not give the food any Justice. Try it out the hot sauce alone is worth it.

It's a bit off the beaten path, in a small Korean area in the barrio of Flores. It took me about 45 minutes to arrive from where I live (Recoleta) but the commute was definitely worth it! A lovely, clean and modern atmosphere and friendly staff greets you as you walk in the door. The restaurant seems small, but there are several rooms for larger groups, so don't fret if the front of the restaurant seems very busy. The menu is diverse and has all the Korean staples. Being a vegetarian, my go-to is always veggie bibimbap. If you have any questions, the waitstaff is very helpful. Our server was fluent in English as well as Spanish and Korean - impressive! The bibmbap was just what I thought it would be. Amazingly fresh, great flavors, and a taste of home (Fort Lee, NJ) Prices are reasonable considering any "exotic" food here is always more on the expensive side. The authenticity is there as well, so if you're used to Korean food, you know what you're getting. I'm so happy I got to try Korean food in Buenos Aires. Even though it's a long trip for me, I might be making another visit back to Una Cancion soon.
