Perhaps the le he at the bottom as too salty and it needed more heat and definitely garlic. The portion was good. The fish quality itself was excellent. Shenzi tiradito - I think that's what it was called. This was a solid 10/5. I would get three plates and call it a day. The sauce is slightly spicy, w tiny bits of garlic and onion and it has a good tang w the perfect amount of salt. The fish here looks like the same of the ceviche however, it is from a certain part of the fish because it melted like butter. This also had small slices of scallops which were excellent. As per usual, I tipped the plate and scooped all that delicious juice. Mint ginger lemonade - meh. I know, that one is on me...who gets mint ginger lemonade? Well, I have had it in a few places already and there was a spot that made it perfectly. To the point that it inspired me to make some when I get home and also...I proclaimed this year to be the year of mint. I'm going to use mint on everything. ANticucho corazón - skip. Little half potatoes are dry...and the anticucho itself was overcooked and the marinade of the anticucho was weak. Here's the thing, if I can make it better than I can be disappointed. It's just la our intensive to make at home. Causa de pollo is roughly 8" x 3" x 2.5"H. It's really good. As you know cause should have a layer of mashed and dressed potato and ofcourse this does. Your only complain may be that this causa is too soft and there are no texture contrasts. That's on you, so be warned, I thought it was great. Who doesn't love a dish presented w mini hard boiled quail eggs? So cute. Nigiri Nikkei ...three pieces of little mountain rice topped w a butterflied shrimp. This is another dish I would pig out on. It was excellent. We were two people and it was recommended, we ordered plenty. Which was true and it also meant I didn't have a second stomach to try an entree. So I don't know what I missed there. In conclusssion....their Nikkei and raw fish/ seafood game is STRONG here. So opt on those....a few of those....because it's excellent in flavors and quality

The seafood wontons were delicious, and my husband had the catch of the day with tacu tacu (a Peruvian dish that is rice, beans and spices) that was fantastic! I had the seafood spaghetti and it was delicious with a silky sauce that coated the noodles perfectly . The ceviche (Asian style) was the standout of the meal though-made with the catch of the day- it had sesame oil, chilis, and crushed peanuts on it , in a fresh citrus dressing. We loved our meal here! The piece sours are good too! Reservations are a must!

We went for lunch and initially tried to order the lunch special, but there was some confusion with the English menu. The server mentioned that the description wasn't quite accurate, and between my limited Spanish and their limited English, we decided it was easier to just order à la carte. The Nikkei style here seems pretty cream-cheese-forward, which isn't really my thing, so we skipped those rolls. The ones we did order were very good, though, and the pisco sours were refreshing. Overall, it was a solid introduction to Nikkei food with good flavors and drinks, and I'd definitely come back.

We loved La Causa. Great food, great drink and great service…read more We are huge fans of Peruvian cuisine and La Causa is the place to go in BA. I started with a pisco sour; my efe had a concoction whose name I cannot recall but which was based on pisco. We shared a ceviche clásico. It was a huge portion, just like in Lima with fish, those fried kernels of corn that the Peruvians love, sweet potatoes and tigre de leche (tiger's milk). Wow! Then we split a causa with fried langostinos on top of yellow Peruvian potatoes. Yum! One suggestion: if you're not Argentine of Uruguayan ask for ají picante on the side. That will take the spice level of the causa up to the Peruvian level. Bonus points: our super helpful waiter was venezolana. Bless you, Argentina, for taking in so many Venezuelans and giving them permission to work.

I was walking down Esmeralda and stumbled upon this gem, of course none other by one of the most renowned chefs in Peruvian cuisine, Gaston Acurio. The ambiance was amazing, the service, the lomo saltado was perfect, the papa rellenas reminded me of my grandmothers, and the dessert was TO DIE FOR. Highly recommend this restaurant as a way to dive into Peruvian cuisine...you won't regret it. Also, bring cash to tip, they don't let you add tip to the total of your bill with a credit card.

All of what we tasted was high quality and authentic, and portion sizes were quite reasonable as well.

Recently opened (and just a couple of doors down from the likewise recently opened Larco-Mar), this…read morespot aims a little bit more than the other at the nikkei style of cooking. Or at least ostensibly. In truth, they've just sort of fancied up some of the Peruvian homestyle dishes and then offer a separate sushi menu. Literally separate, they bring you two different menus, one of Peruvian food and one of sushi rolls. Went there on a first visit with a new friend who's thinking about moving to BA and made it a sort of "getting to know you" lunch. The room is very cafeteria-esque - gleaming white with touches of color but very plastic feeling. Service was friendly, but a touch condescending - inquiring about what made a "causa arequipeña" particular to that region, the response was, "it uses a special sauce that you wouldn't know about, but it's good". An attempt for more info yielded nothing. Turned out to be ocopa, about as ubiquitous a sauce on local Peruvian menus as huancaina. Now, we continued to hear about the place over the following weeks, so my partner and I decided on a followup lunch, as well as, it turned out, a followup dinner, in that there was a folklore music show being held there one night that he wanted to go to. First off, totally didn't attitude from the staff, and even the same waiter - did they get their groove on finally, did he remember I'd been there before, was it that I was with someone Peruvian? Not only friendly, but talking about the food and the restaurant. And the same on the third visit. Overall, we like the place, service is generally pretty good and now definitely friendly. Prices are higher than most of the Peruvian spots in the Abasto neighborhood, but the quality is significantly higher as well. Personally, I wasn't impressed with the sushi roll, but I also only tried one out of the list. There's no question that the spiciness of the dishes is toned down, probably for local palates more than anything - but then, the majority of guests on three visits were Peruvian - I doubt they really have to. Then again, I didn't see anyone but us asking for hot sauce on the table, so maybe.... I'd say, stick with the real Peruvian dishes, which they do really well, and skip the Japanese attempts, which at least based on a small number of dishes, they don't. Big plus for taking credit and debit cards, nearly unheard of in most more casual Peruvian restaurants (despite it being federally mandated that restaurants here accept cards, the vast majority still don't). This place goes onto our list of favorites.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt authentic and welcoming--simple, traditional, and full of character. It's the kind of place where the focus is on good food, good wine, and enjoying the moment. The food was outstanding. The steak was cooked perfectly, juicy and full of flavor, with a beautiful sear that speaks to real expertise on the grill. Every bite was satisfying. The breaded dishes and sides were generous, comforting, and done exactly the way they should be--nothing overcomplicated, just excellent execution. Paired with good wine, it made for a truly memorable meal. What truly elevated the experience, however, was the service--especially from our waiter Walter. Walter was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. He made thoughtful recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire meal. His warmth and care turned a great dinner into an exceptional experience. El Rincón delivers on every level: food, atmosphere, and service. If you're looking for classic Argentine cuisine and service that makes you feel welcome and valued, this is absolutely the place to go. We will definitely be back--and we hope to be served by Walter again.

The back side of the other half was mysteriously over cooked, it was grey and dry. I showed it to the waiter and he shrugged his shoulder and said: this is medium. dessert (flan) was nicely done, not too sweet and with perfect velvety texture. But, why do they put two large blobs of ugly looking pudding-line thing next to it? As decoration? (I could have used more degrading terms to describe the shape, but I would just hint they look soft served ice cream in the sun) I had high hopes for another good meat dinner in Argentina, unfortunately this restaurant disappointed. Maybe I should tone down my expectation.
