    Tripe stew
    Roger H.

    Second time coming here but first time coming here with a group and was amazed at the variety of food items here. I may be a little biased since whenever I do go to an Argentine restaurant its usually in a party of two and Ill usually just order an Argentine grill, but with a larger group I was able to explore more varieties this time around. Ordered the shrimp avocado salad, cow tongue, tripe soup, grilled provolone with prosciutto along with a standard Argentine grill and can honestly say everything was a hit here. Everything was tender, flavored with a heaping of garlic and oil and was decently priced as well. Friendly attentive staff and a nice cozy old school ambiance, this place is a gem that hits on all marks for large groups

    I wanted to celebrate a late valentine's dinner with my boyfriend and he was in the mood for skirt steak so decided to stop here. It has a very old school feel once you step inside, the walls are covered with pictures of the owner with celebrities, food blogger reviews and other historical pieces of the restaurant. The restaurant is very small but it feels very comforting and cozy. Our server was polite and not overly nice which is great when you are trying to enjoy a romantic meal with your partner. He came around to take our order and bring bread. We ordered a small of sangria, fried calamari, skirt steak and shrimp franceses with a side of sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. The sangria was sweet but not overly sweet and I loved that the jar was not filled to the rim with ice. The fried calamari was pretty good; not the best I have ever had but still good. The shrimp franceses was very tasty, had a good amount of citrus and the shrimp was huge. The spinach was a bit overpowering, definitely good for someone who is a spinach lover. I tried a piece of the skirt steak and it was cooked a perfect medium rare with the most tender texture. The mashed potatoes were good but again not the best I have had. The perfect end to our meal was a piece of tres leches; it was sweet and moist. I fell in love with this place and will be bringing my family next time so they can also enjoy this delicious Argentine cuisine.

    This restaurant is one of the best I have ever tried. The food delicioso! And the service was great everyone was super friendly. They speak English and Spanish, and there were guitarist playing and taking requests. You have to go here, definitely part of the NY experience. The ambiance was really good, 100% family friendly.

    Got our Argentinian fix on for a group get together. Staff and service was great and spot on. They did forgot 2 items we ordered but since the portions were so large they weren't needed. Highlights are definitely the chimichuri dipping sauce, the skirt steak and the shrimp avocado salad. All were made well and made a great dinner. The restaurant doesn't wow or stand out but it makes a great meal.

    Food was very good and fresh. Wine was great. Service was ok. The heat was on very high making it very uncomfortable. I don't recommend their flan for dessert. It was rubbery and too sweet.

    One of my buddies invited me to have dinner at LA Fusta on Saturday night and since it had been a while since I came, I accepted. The parking in this area has always been challenging, but the meal that awaits you here is certainly worth looking for parking! As I mentioned before, I had not been here for a while but there was a sense of familiarity walking in the front. This place has been a staple of the neighborhood for decades and still did not disappoint. The owner recognized both my buddy and I and greeted us which is very nice of her. The waiter who has been here for decades also recognized us and gave us a warm family style welcome. We were both not having any alcohol because of lent and they understood immediately. The waiter quickly made a ginger ale and cranberry juice which was quite refreshing. I ordered it 2 more times during the meal. Normally a pitcher of red sangria would have been in the table! I will certainly do that next time I return. They are known for their delicious empanadas! They are so delish. Instead, we ordered a shrimp cocktail and the watercress / Shrimp salad. This salad consists of quite a few shrimps, watercress, red onions, tomatoes, lime beans, avocado in a vinaigrette base. It just tasted so fresh and good. Perfect to start the meal. We both ordered the skirt steak, fries and spinach. There could not have been a more satisfying meal for that night than this! The fries were golden crisp and the spinach was sauteed perfectly for me. If we were not so full, we would have finished with the desserts they offer. Maybe order dessert on another night. I am actually looking forward to coming back to dine here again!

    parrillada americana
    Hansel B.

    A good Argentinian bbq place with huge portions. Lots of meat. We ordered some empanadas for apps and then straight to the main attraction, the Parillada. The two main variations of parrillada are the Argentinian and the American. The only difference is that they swap out a couple of the meats on the american (it has chicken and pork chop). The sides are a little weak and wish they had other options, but you can't go wrong with all the meats dipped in some chimichurri sauce. I highly recommend sharing a plate when you come here, other wise you'll need a nap right away!

    Front: Beef Empanada, Back: Cream of Shrimp Soup
    Gordon Y.

    Cuisine: 8 Service: 6 Decor: 6 Value: 8 Overall: 7 My friends and I have been coming here for over a decade. It's a solid place when you are looking for some good Argentinian cuisine. On this night, two of us were in the mood for their tender Tripe Stew, vinegary Calf Tongue, and juicy Skirt Steak. Unfortunately, they didn't have two out of the three items, but the meal was still delicious. Beef Empanada - the skin could be a bit more crispy, but the filling was tasty, though I wished it was a bit more moist. Not bad. Cream of Shrimp Soup - more like a creamy chicken soup with pieces of shrimp, but still pretty yummy. Grilled Provolone w/ Prosciutto - cheesiness galore, which mozzarella covering pieces of prosciutto sitting on top of pieces of provolone. Grilled Skirt Steak (large) - pièce de résistance of our meal. Never fails to be amazing. So good I don't even need their flavorful house made chimichurrri. If you're looking for a fantastic piece of beef ly goodness without going to the fancy steak houses in Manhattan, just pop in here for a bite. Grilled Short Ribs are quite mouth watering as well. Enjoy!

    Eterna T.

    Really delicious Argentinian skirt steak. The lunch special is a good deal ($15) even if the steak portion is a bit smaller because it comes with a filling side and a huge bowl of really fresh tasting salad plus soft hot bread with butter and chimichurri sauce! All of it was good. I ordered medium rare because I was afraid they might overcook the steak but they didn't (it was truly a medium rare) so next time I might level up a bit to medium even though I thought it was also fine as is. Apparently the short ribs were also pretty good. Would definitely return!

    Booked here with a large group. The meat is cooked well. Seasons are good. But the way they sat everyone on a long table. This place does not seem like it's good for large groups. It's not bad. But there's nothing amazing about the food here.

Each bag already comes with a potato and corn. Scallops were fairly large. Snow crab legs were easy to eat and delicious. Clam shells were large, but not much meat inside. The seasoning was tasty and had a decent spice kick. The more pounds you order, the more sides you get. They have a list of market prices. They don't have alcohol, which seems like a missed opportunity. We would've loved to have a drink. It is nice to have a seafood boil option in that area.

The ones we had been to in the past usually allows you to also pick different type of cooking style or seasoning but this place only cooks it their way. It's good for people who are indecisive but disappointing for people who want variety of flavor. They usually have a section of appetizers and drinks you can order on a separate menu as well. The staffs were very low energies when we visited on a weekend night. The overall ambiance and interaction made us feel a little uncomfortable. We ordered: - eggplant dip - fries - Greek salad (large) - cooked fish - calamari - octopus Honestly I was so disappointed with the food. It didn't taste as fresh and was overall too salty. The eggplant dip had a weird taste. Friend fries were not as crispy and unevenly distributed portions of salt. The calamari was nothing special. The fish was okay, and the octopus was so salty we actually sent back the dish. It was very difficult to enjoy it. The staff was so accommodating and actually took the dish off our bill. (Thank you!! - great customer service!). My favorite item was probably the Greek salad, but then again it's hard to mess up a salad. I would say this is my least favorite counter order style seafood restaurant in Astoria. My friend said great things about it prior to my visit and I really wish I would have liked it.

The menu is entirely in Spanish but the waiters can help if needed. We ordered the Gobernador taco, a half dozen shrimp, the regular guacamole and the aguachiles verdes. The Gobernador was a large size - really more like a mini quesadilla than a taco in my mind. It was flavorful and filled with seafood. The half dozen shrimp were cooked well, but a little hard and messy to peel. The guac was good, a little oily but tasty. The aguachiles were really good but borderline too spicy for me. The spice continued to build as I ate them and it did feel less enjoyable but it was good to start. My main grievance with this restaurant was how loud it was. I was yelling and struggling to hear what my friend or the waiter said, but the food was delicious. Maybe if it were less crowded it would be ok, but definitely not a great atmosphere for having a conversation.
