Staying in Mendoza for the week and I am so thankful my friend invited me to come and have dinner…read morewith her here! We split the chicken skewers and the warm salad with soy sauce and bean sprouts paired with red vino that came out of a pinguino. I've been in Argentina for over a month and this has definitely been the best meal I've had thus far!

The menu has salads with warm shrimp or chicken, a dig a station of grilled provolone cheese, your usual meets with slight twists like a eggplant dip on top of your roasted potatoes with your steak. They bring a bread basket with two slices of tomato focaccia, two slices of a cherry wheat bread, one dense white roll and a slice if a soft white bread. It was served with a pickle aioli topped with shredded marinated carrots. Very light and fresh. We tried the empanadas (3 for $155) and they were made with chopped beef and lots of smoky paprika. It was almost too flavorful and great with the pickle aioli. The warm langoustine salad had only five langoustines (which were nicely seasoned and perfectly tender) but lots of arugula and frisée. The arugula was a bit overpowering versus the langoustines. It had 3 thin slices of grilled peach and 3 thin slices of avocado. It also had about 10 cherry tomatoes and two long homemade breadsticks. The salad was lightly dressed in a lemon vinaigrette. Very fresh, light salad. We also had the small ribeye with roasted potatoes topped with an eggplant spread and a small salad. All great flavors. We had asked for the ribeye to come without the cheese but they forgot. We took it off and ate it separately. Service was friendly and efficient. Certainly a modern version if an Argentinean steakhouse.

Had a fabulous time here! The service was great, the meal was incredible, and the wine list was…read moreactually pretty decent (and decently priced too). First, I was by myself, which sometimes makes servers nervous - but Camila handled it w no problem, she did bring out the wrong wine at first but I caught it before she had touched the cork (I mean, I'm in Mendoza, should we be drinking anything else except Malbec?!?)... and OMG the wine was spectacular! I chose the top bottle from one of the bodegas I will visit tmrw, and was so happy I did! (I mean, I'm in Argentina and I'm gonna be worried about an extra $10 for a bottle of great wine?!?) Well, I also disappoint my vegan and vegetarian friends on this kind of trip, and holy moly the Ojo de Bife was spectacular!!! And of course, order it jugoso (juicy) to be closer to rare than you will otherwise find. The only issue for the whole night? I asked for mushrooms and they had none! I suggested they get some and add it to their sides... let's get the world eating steak, one added mushroom at a time! Highly recommended!

Came by here for dinner for our last night in Mendoza when we were in the area a few months ago. We…read moresaw that this place specialized in milanesas, and I liked that they even had an eggplant version for vegetarians, such as myself. At first, we were going to get two milanesas, as well as an order of spaghetti and a salad to share between us, but our waiter strongly suggested against it, saying that the portions were quite large here. We took his word for it, and we opted for a single order of their eggplant milanesa along with the pasta and salad instead. We were glad we heeded his warning, though, because we saw that the eggplant milanesa itself was massive: it came with 3 cutlets total, and each cutlet was fairly hefty on its own. As for the actual food: I thought the eggplant milanesa here was absolutely delicious. It was beautifully coated and fried, so the breadcrumb coating was wonderfully crispy. The pasta and salad went really well with our selection as well. Prices were also really good here and we ended up leaving with our bellies full and our hearts content after having ultimately decided to come by here for dinner. I could definitely see myself coming back here, should I ever find myself in Mendoza again.

If you want a good fried piece of veal (ternera), chicken (pollo) or calamari (rabas) come here…read more They are all called Milanesas but the veal version is called clasico. The medium size is enough for two. They also have every other imaginable piece of fried food - mozzarella sticks, chicken nuggets, potatoes, onion rings, langoustines etc...their tag line is "Comer Sin Culpa" or "Eat without guilt." Very appropriate for a menu that is 80% fried food. The calamari were extremely tender but the coating was a very light dusting of a breadcrumb and not the thin tempura style batter we love - still very good just not great. They offer combos and samplers - for example "The Immortal" is a cheddar stuffed double piece of breaded pounded veal on top of a pile of French fries topped with two fried eggs. It is is a heaping pile of food. The regular milanesas also come with a wedge of lemon (very important) and a bowl of fries or mashed potatoes. A salad or premium side dish is available for an extra 35 pesos ($1.85 US.) All of the fried meat options are available as a sandwich as well but then you really lose the flavor of the meat and it becomes about the toppings. Speaking of which we saw lots of folks order the covered fries - looked like a cheddar cheese sauce, onions and maybe strips of pepper- a bowlful for three at least. Patio service was as always in AR - a tad slow. Enjoy the view and the fried goodness!

We were seated straight away and ordered a bottle of Trumpeter Malbec while reviewing the menu. We ordered a salad to share and I chose the Lomo Don Mario. It's an interesting dish. It came with peas, hearts of palm, artichoke hearts, and potatoes. The steak had asparagus, mushrooms, ham and roasted bell pepper on top. It was quite good but there was an error in translation. I wanted it medium-rare and it came out medium-well. It was still delicious, but could have been better. Everyone else's steaks were cooked perfectly and everyone enjoyed their meal. It's a great place and look forward to returning.

They have appetizers as well, we opted for the entrees. We had the churrasco which they graciously prepped in 2 different temperatures, it comes with the most delicious roasted potatoes and veggies. One of their staples is the Sheppard pie as well which is also very good. Alll of the entrees come with (2) desserts, we went with their standard flan with dulce de leche and it was divine. Staff was very attentive and the aesthetic of the restaurant is so unique, very vintage meets homey cuisine. Definitely a great place to try ou
