There are proably hundreds if not thousands of Parrillas here in Buenos Aires, and while many are…read morevery good, this is one of the better ones. The best part is that this is a locals restaurant, and it has such a great feel. The minute you walk inm you are welcomed by a friendly staff and led to a table, we chose upstairs and were quickly seated. Our waiter was friendly and jovial, and spoke great english. He recommended a Malbec, and then we ordered a bunch of food, which came quickly. As we dined, the placed filled up quickly, and looking around, there was not an empty table in the place- upstairs or down. The restaurnat has an Italian family feel, white table cloths and worn, but classy china. Plus the grill is amazing. Overall, this place is excellent, and a local friend who I dined with said he will be making this place one of his regular stops!

This was my first lunch in Buenos Aires so how crazy am I to have booked dinner the very same day…read moreLet me tell you, when they say the plates are meant to be shared, they are not kidding. The portions here are massive. And that's coming from someone who can usually put away a pretty serious steak. Here, though It's a lot even for me. Was it good Absolutely. But a little heads-up if you're visiting: learn how Argentinians order their meat. If you ask for jugoso, it'll land somewhere between rare and medium rare. Al punto is closer to medium, sometimes even leaning toward medium well depending on the kitchen. And well done. Honestly... don't even think about it. Another tip: don't rush to order sides. Unless you're just getting a salad or you're sharing with more than two people, one plate is usually more than enough. Around here, they believe in feeding you properly and they definitely deliver.

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.
