And why wouldn't it be? Argentina is known for steak, why would they not have amazing BBQ? Look at the pictures I've posted with this review - there were zero leftovers. On our travels, we tend to rarely repeat restaurants as, with the infinite possibility of something new, it would only behoove us to keep choices fresh, with the rare exception of a handful of venues and, without a doubt, Bulls BBQ is one of those exceptions. We'll be back before we leave Buenos Aires and should we return, we wouldn't hesitate to return again and again.

Great find in our area. My husband and I have been to BA often and we have our favs in restaurants…read moreand steak places. This was a great find, the BBQ meats flavored and cooked perfectly. We had the beef ribs & the brisket plate both dishes came with fries, the fries was the best we've had. The meat fell off the bone and brisket was tender. Portion size is larger than we expected, we had plenty left over to have later.

So glad i found this place on yelp!…read more In search of a really good authentic parilla, I decided to try out my somewhat sometimes trusty yelp app. I tend to trust the locals more than the tourists as to what connotes good food in their country and so relied on the 7 positive reviews from the Porteños - and sooooooo glad I did. As the name implies secret parilla does not have a sign outside and all the windows are blacked out - however look for the address and listen for the clanking of plates and glasses and lots of happy chatter and you will find the door to the entrance. Just ring the bell and head in. What's great about this place is that is it very local, we were the only non locals there. Most of the seats on the first floor were reservation only but fortunately we were able to get seated on the second floor in the Miranda. As in any good asado we ordered the usual - chorizo, morcilla, molleja, chinchulin, and then for the main cut we decided on the bife de chorizo - with all these meat we had to garnish it with a salad for ruffage and a nice Malba Malbec with soda to wash it down. First the atmosphere was great - just a regular place with locals getting together wth their friends... Secondly the food was incredible....the meats were all delectable - really this is what a good parilla is, the waitress were really nice, and it's at a price that will make you smile. I definitely recommend getting off the beaten path and discover the secret parilla

Two nice bottles of wine and the bill was still really reasonable. Service was outstanding. I can't wait to return, and next time, I'll know how to find it lol

Taking over the spot that was El Tejano originally, if I understand things correctly, Ronald, who…read moreruns this place, was the chef for Larry, who owns El Tejano (now, as far as I know, only to be found at El Alamo's two bars... the original on Uruguay and a new one on Córdoba). He either bought the place out, or just took over the lease when El Tejano left. He's given it a slight Dutch twist, when it comes to some of his sauces and spicing, and adding in menu items like bitterballen. With three of us at the counter on Sunday afternoon (normally he only opens at night Tuesday-Saturday, but occasionally he's in the mood to open Sunday lunch, and posts it on his Instagram account), and a sampler platter for two on offer, we asked if he could up the sampler to a tabla for three, and he was happy to oblige. This is a whopping sampler of meat - especially for the easy price of 400 pesos/person, a mere $7.25. For that, each person gets a fried empanada filled with his smoked pulled pork held together with Indonesian spicy peanut sauce - yum! - a smoked chorizo - more yum! - smoked and barbecued bondiola, pork shoulder - oh come on now, how many times can I say yum! - and two smoked ribs smothered in your choice of spicy or not "Lekker sauce", which is a slightly fruity, spicy blend that's delicious, though we found the ribs themselves a bit dry. The two smoked meats in the middle are livened up even more by your choice of his own housemade spicy mustard (we all want bottles of the stuff), or his Mortal hot sauce, which is a jalapeño sauce with a kick and flavor similar to Sriracha. Although not on the day's menu, he brought us out a couple of extras to sample - some smoked lomito, pork loin, that he's experimenting with. We liked it a lot - he asked what we thought it might go with - my thought was a sandwich with smoked cheese and kimchi (he's a friend of, and proponent of, Kimchi Buenos Aires, who I buy kimchi from when I don't make it myself. (Delivered to your door usually next day, and very reasonable, with a choice of styles!) He also brought us some plain and spicy curry bitterballen - a new one for all of us - a sort of squishy meatball (basically ground meat mixed with bechamel and spices and then breaded and fried) - both, well, more yum! Overall assessment? Some of the best smoked meat in Buenos Aires right now. (Before someone asks, simpers, or protests - let's see, I'd go to Lekker for the empanada, chorizo, and/or bondiola, and to El Tejano for the brisket, ribs, and chicken. I haven't encountered anywhere else in town that tops either of them in the smoked meat world.)

They bring you complimentary bread with different sauces. The prices are affordable. The wine was a huge pour for a great price. The staff was friendly and efficient.

We shared a salad that was made with fresh romaine, tomatoes, and white onion. They served it was balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The place has a nice ambiance. Check it out!

The steak was pretty well cooked, but the cut of meat was on the less impressive side. Fine for a casual meal.
