    Inside the dulce de batata empanada -- which surprisingly also had cheese.
    Abbe N.

    I was passing through the area and stopped in here for a quick bite before any evening rushes could hit. Good timing -- three tables came in a little while after me, along with a few other people who had takeout orders! It was nice, everyone seemed friendly and people were chatting away with servers in that small-town vibe. I'd never had Argentinian cuisine specifically, but it's very close to past experiences in other establishments. There were some minor differences, but only one of them was relatively unpleasant. I'll start with the pleasant aspects: The place looked nice, and the atmosphere was different in a good way. The hanging baskets from the ceiling were eye-catching and cute, and the servers were relaxed and friendly. Everything had that cozy vibe, especially when other tables started coming in and chatting with the staff. Items came out in decent time, and I enjoyed house sauces offered, along with the popcorny-puffed fried exterior of their empanadas. Flavors were plentiful, and the four I'd tried were delicious! Dulce de batata was my favorite, but I'd need to do more sampling to figure which one tastes the best in my opinion. Sangría was fruity, but the white wine was sweeter and more peachy than the passion fruit mix, which was more acidic and nicely balanced. I didn't get to try the red one, but I imagine it tastes punchy. Fries were saltless (but still good; I don't think I could've handled the sodium), and the Sizzle Sandwich balanced that out nicely with bacon, cheese, and runny fried egg inside. The one unpleasant detail came with that though: The strip of steak on the sandwich, that also made up the layers in the Buenos Aires. It was tough, seemingly cut with the grain instead of against, making the meat really hard to break when taking a bite of anything. My friend complained of the same characteristics, and I was a little disappointed. If it was more tender, flaky, and maybe seasoned similarly to the empanada beef, it would've been absolutely incredible. I don't know if that's just how the region typically cooks their steak, but it needs a little twist, and that's why it's lacking a star. Especially since the sandwich is named after the building, I would've wanted it to be the 10/10 choice and potential bestseller. Empanadas are going to be the thing calling me back here in the future though, hands down.

    @BigDudesBigFoods had a very filling meal at another amazing small business, @TheSizzleBBQ in #HackettstownNJ today. There is a multitude of delicious choices on the menu. Joe & I went with an #empanada assortment, a #cubansandwich and a #pulledpork burger with bacon and cheddar #SizzleBBQ is cool spot on the main drag in Hackettstown. They have a very friendly and informative crew who gave us a lot tasty meal ideas to try when we return. We will be back. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #BDBFCertified #BDBF

    Not sure why it says closed and permanently closed as well on apple maps because they are open. We also called for reservation but when we got there they didnt even write our name down so when we walked in they were saying they didnt have anyone with that name. I went with my family. We ordered dulce de leche empanada, apple empanada, chicken milanese, kids corn, argentinian sizzle mix for two. I cant believe the sizzle mix was only for 2 because there was 4 of us and we were full from it. They had some seating in the front and a private seating in the back for larger groups. They had one stall bathrooms and the decor looks nice.

    This is a phenomenal little gem that I drove past daily in Hackettstown, NJ and never noticed. I'm newish to Morris County and still finding my way around. The food here is so beyond delicious... it just hugs my soul. Also I think is a cute place for a nice afternoon date. The service is awesome as well. Both days I was greeted with a big, warm, and friendly smile. I highly recommend The Sizzle BBQ not just for online ordering people. The weather is warming up finally and I say go and have brunch or lunch. My date and I will be back for dinner one evening and I'll be sure to post more pics. But until then definitely stop by... I promise you'll eat yourself into a food coma.

    Ouch. Small portioned tacos and a credit card usage fee.
    Vito S.

    Had an opportunity to have lunch-with my wife- without the kids- during a weekday! Score! We came to the restaurant at 11:30 after reading other reviews that the dining room is smaller but Decorated nicely. We were seated immediately and at the time we were the only patrons in the dining room. Our waitress was pleasant and took our order. My ordered the lady in red salad and I initially ordered the tacos Al pastor but was told that they did not have that options so I opted for the shrimp tacos. We were offered bread that were slightly stale with three different types of spreads that were extremely flavorful. We were happy that we were at least seated and snacking on the stale bread because by noon the small dining room was full and we were still waiting on our entrees a half hour after placing our order. When we finally received our entrees my wife was pleased with her salad. She was especially happy that the strawberries were fresh. My shrimp taco were not flavorful. Although I did receive four taco the portion was EXTREMELY small. Each taco tortilla was the size of two silver dollars. For $18 it definitely was not worth it. The check came. We were surprised with the 3.99% credit card usage fee that was not disclosed until squaring away the bill.

    Full order of pork ribs Portuguese style - delish!
    Cat M.

    Very nice! Cute interior with lots of nick knacks & pleasantly decorated. Family-run business. Plenty of parking in the back. BYO which is a plus! We tasted a variety of the Portuguese food. Be aware that this type of BBQ is different than others that have sauce slathered on them. This BBQ is very good! Beef empanada's served with 3 different sauces - so delish - meat was so tender & juicy - definitely recommend! Pork ribs - large, meaty & cooked well - not spicy, but good flavor. Beef rib combo & chicken were delish - beef had a great flavoring on it with some salt - spot on! Enjoyed the rice & house salad as well. Definitely a place to check out!

    Avocado & coconut smoothie !!
    Jason G.

    Family all decided to go for supper at The Sizzle BBQ... as we heard the food was great. Word of mouth was spot-on...The entrees , appetizers, smoothies, empanadas.. all FANTASTIC !!! Service was great... friendly and warm. Menu has LOTS to choose from! We all tried something different so we could get a taste of each type of meat... pork ribs! Pulled chicken!! Beef brisket!! So delicious!! You won't be disappointed going... Make sure to go with a good appetite if it's your first time ;) And definitely order a few empanadas ... so many to choose from!!

    Marta N.

    Cute little place! And the food was delicious. It was a little longer wait than we were quoted on the phone but we did place a pretty large order.

    Bread with 3 sauces comes to the table first, spicy mustard, chimichurri, and a tomato and onion based sauce.

    While there isn't exactly an Argentine neighborhood in New Jersey, many great restaurants are…read morelocated in the northern part of the state. Argentine cuisine is a blend of influences from the Italian and Spanish immigrants with its chief national product, beef. They say the reason Argentine steak is so good is that its cattle graze on the country's plentiful pampas grass, rather than being grain-fed as American cattle are. The result is leaner, more flavorful, and more nutritious beef. One such establishment is on Moonachie Road in Moonachie, where my partners, our friends and I decided on Saturday dinner. Reservations were easily made via OpenTable. Upon entering this cozy, modern interior of Tango Steak as first-timers, we were greeted by the host and got a table right away. We were here 3 years ago when it was El Tango Argentina Grill. The vibe has completely changed. It's now darker and louder, not family-friendly. Music was at a decent volume and does seem to increase as it gets later, giving it a lounge type. As an appetizer, we started with Beef and Chicken Empanadas as well as Calamares (Calamari). For our main meal, we decided on the Extrana (Skirt Steak) with Mashed Potatoes & Chimichurri Sauce and Tango Burger accompanied with Fries. Food was good, not awesome. Our appetizers were tasty and well seasoned. The Skirt Steaks tasted fantastic with the Chimichurri Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes had a nice texture. However, some of us asked that their Tango Burgers be made medium but came out well done. The Fries were salty and very dry. Our service was horrendous, but our server was Nathaly who was accommodating and apologetic. Some of us had gotten their appetizer faster than others. The duration between our appetizers and the main meal was an hour. The food was not cheap given the portions received and the 20% gratuity added automatically to the bill. With insult to injury, their valet attendant charged $5. Definitely not what we expected, which is why we sadly can't recommend this place.
