Review is for the whiskey bar…read more The drinks are pretty tasty. We tried the Negroni and the mezcal Patagonia. The mezcal Patagonia is offered in a goblet size cup. They mix the drink right in front of you, and then pour it in front of you. The drink tasted yummy. It was not too sour. It was just right. The negroni was a stronger than the mezcal Patagonia. For me, the Negroni is more of a finishing drink. I would order both again. I preferred the mezcal Patagonia as it was more refreshing. The Negroni was on the sweet side. We ordered sparkling water and it was good. Service was excellent.

We decided to try this place because of the amazing Google reviews!…read more but boy, were we wrong! Hear me out. From the moment we arrived, we felt rushed to our seats. We asked to move outside to catch the game, and while the server accommodated us, it was clear he wasn't too thrilled about it. We started with drinks, which were actually great; so good that we ended up ordering three rounds plus shots! For appetizers, we had the grilled bone marrow and empanadas, followed by a New York strip loin (recommended by the server) with creamy spinach and truffle fries. The empanadas and fries were delicious, but the steak was completely bland, definitely not worth the price. We asked for a spicy salsa, and the server brought one out "on the house," which was amazing. I even asked to take the leftover salsa home. Now, here's where things turned shady. Throughout the meal, the server kept upselling us on everything; which we didn't mind since we were having a good time. But when the bill came, we noticed he charged us for the leftover salsa that he originally said was complimentary! It wasn't about the money, but the principle. We asked him to remove the charge and told him to forget the salsa. The manager noticed what happened, took care of the charge, and even packed the salsa with our leftovers. The server, however, never returned to the table after that. The ambiance and cleanliness were fine, but overall, the experience left a bad taste. VERDICT: I will not be coming back.

This dish is more of a grill served at our table, and it came with a variety of meats: various beef cuts as well as sausages. For dessert, I had the flan, which was slightly sweeter than I usually have them, but it was delicious. We were sat at a larger table on the second floor, which felt like being back home in my dining room. It was semi-private, which was nice. This time around, I came with the girlfriend. After driving for 30 minutes from TJ's Zona Rio, we arrived at this fine restaurant in Rosarito. Parking was along the main avenue, at the front of the building. We walked in, and we were sat on the first floor. I ordered steak, medium, as did the girlfriend. Our sides were garden salad, and cheese fondue. I ordered some coffee and lemonade on mineral water, which were both okay. Our dessert was an order of empanadas. I liked the beef empanadas the best, followed by the ones with cheese. Personally, I prefer the parillada over the individual steak plate, but both hit the spot well. This is a decent Argentinian grill in the city of Rosarito. Come check them out.

Patagonia is located right in the heart of downtown Rosarito, within a short walking distance of the beach and well-known Papas & Beer nightclub. Was slightly hard to find at first, though there is a small red sign from the storefronts on main street (Hwy 1) indicating where the restaurant is. The restaurant is actually located in a charming garden court slightly off the main street, co-located with a few other restaurants and shops. Got to the restaurant a little before 1:30 pm on a Friday, not too long after they opened for the day. Only one other set of customers was there at the time so I was able to be seated immediately. Was surprised by how small the spot is, almost felt like you were walking into someone's home rather than a restaurant, though I very much appreciated the old-school, "homey" feel and decor. 4-5 tables inside, another 4-5 tables outside, with the kitchen right in the front of the restaurant where you can see all the food being prepared. A couple of cats randomly roaming around the restaurant also added to the charm, LOL. Seems to be a family-owned restaurant judging from the size, decor, and the fact that the waiter who took my order was also helping in the kitchen. The waiter who greeted me spoke pretty good English so language barrier was no issue. I ordered the 16 oz grilled ribeye steak (Bife Patagonia), which comes with your choice of french fries (which I chose) or salad. There's not an extensive drink list here - mostly some wines, sangria, juices, and water - so I just went with some mineral water rather than the usual beer I would get at this type of restaurant. A few minutes after ordering they waiter brought out a few pieces of complimentary bread with homemade sauces. Small portioned, but very tasty! They then brought out the french fries before bringing out the steak, which I thought was a little odd (these are typically brought out at the same time), but wasn't a problem for me. The ribeye was very well-portioned, juicy, and damn good. Wouldn't say it's up there with the best I've ever had, or even the best I've had in Mexico, but it was good. At 695 pesos (~$35 dollars) I thought it was great value relative to comparable steakhouses both in Mexico and the U.S. Altogether with the 2 mineral waters I ordered (50 pesos each), my total bill came out to 795 pesos (~40) which was actually much less than I was expecting to pay going in. Patagonia does accept credit cards and they have their own free wi-fi. While most people who go to steakhouses like this dress up nicely, there is no dress code here. I was very casually dressed when I went here, as was the waiter and all the other workers who were there at the time. Very charming restaurant with good food at a great price! Definitely recommend checking out at least once if you happen to be in the area!

I'd say the menu and offerings are quite authentic. There's an extensive menu for food choices for dinner as well as for happy hour. There's also a large wine selection as well, with choices from Argentina of course. I wanted to bring in a bottle of Malbec I brought back from Argentina, unfortunately the corking fee here is $30 which seems a bit exorbitant to me. Especially for Argentine wine, but the choice is there as an FYI. I had the churrasco which in this case is a snake river farms bone in short rib. A phenomenal cut of meat, slow roasted so the meat just fell off the bone, but still had a nice texture similar to a ribeye, not like a braised short rib that sort of shreds and falls apart. Very well done. We also got the beef carpaccio which was prepared tableside and interesting to watch. Though I feel the arugula, overpowers the flavor of the meat itself. Also got fries and mac and cheese which were both also delicious. Everything on the menu looks and sounds fantastic. The place has an interesting dining room, set down below the sidewalk. It actually seems empty on one side but the further back room was quite busy when we walked in. The dining room there has views of the meat case and the kitchen. Overall I would say the quality and meat selection here is top notch. Think typical price range of a nice steak house in San Diego. It's a bit further south from the rest of the restaurants in Little Italy, but the worth the venture for something a cut above the standard Italian fare nearby.

Service was great overall, although our side dishes arrived almost at the same time we were finishing our steaks. As for the food, the ribeye was good but nothing particularly special. The churrasco de tiras was also good, while the entraña (skirt steak) could have used a little more flavor, especially considering the Parmesan seasoning. One of my favorite parts of the experience was the mocktail selection. The Espumoso de Frambuesas was delicious and definitely my favorite! For dessert, we tried the passion fruit meringue. It was very moist and topped with a layer of meringue, a nice way to finish the meal. Overall, a beautiful restaurant with great service, good drinks, and a lovely atmosphere. The food was good, but some of the dishes could use a little more wow factor.
