Selena Cocina — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Value: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10

This restaurant has become my favorite spot to eat in Buenos Aires. The food is absolutely delicious - I recommend that lamb risotto (risotto de cordero). The portion sizes are substantial which makes for a good meal, and like every good restaurant in Argentina they bring bread with a nice spread as an appetizer with your meal.

The service is really good - especially at this price point. Every single server is helpful, and nice. Best of all, especially for travelers from North America, there are buttons on the table so you can quickly call your waiter if you need something or want the bill - no awkward waiting for them to make eye contact so you can wave them down.

The ambience is also very nice. It's a relatively quiet place, and it's positioned so that you can watch all the people go by.

Overall I definitely recommend this place - it will fast become your go-to spot for...

Everyone avoid this restaurant.

my food was cold first round, returned it, got it back second time round and it was literally ice and frozen pieces. it could’ve made me sick.

The manager is a young immature girl with lack of skills and knowledge of hospitality. doesn’t know how to communicate or run the restaurant. I wanted to solve the problem by ordering another dish or at least get it back cooked but she was confused with her staff on what we could do and kept changing the conditions.

The crazy thing is that she tried to make me pay for my frozen meal only because I ate the thin layer of small portion of rice noodles off that same plate because they were the only thing edible and “hot” off that plate before noticing the main parts of the dish were indeed cold AGAIN. I had to defend myself while she argues in the middle of the restaurant in front of her customers and I have to show her my spat out the frozen pieces in tissues and I had to explain how I moved the food around my plate and dissected the food to see what else was frozen, naturally as anyone would in the second time, but this woman thought I ate the frozen food. My god, the ignorance! Shocking!

In the end the chef saw sense after a lot of explanations and fighting. We won’t be back and no one should go if this is how they treat their customers!

Todo el mundo evita este restaurante.

Mi comida estaba fría en la primera ronda, la devolví, la recuperé la segunda vez y estaba literalmente hielo y trozos congelados. podría haberme enfermado.

La gerente es una joven inmadura con falta de habilidades y conocimientos de hotelería. No sabe cómo comunicarse ni administrar el restaurante. Quería resolver el problema pidiendo otro plato o al menos volver a cocinarlo, pero ella estaba confundida con su personal sobre lo que podíamos hacer y seguía cambiando las condiciones.

Lo loco es que ella trató de hacerme pagar mi comida congelada solo porque me comí la fina capa de una pequeña porción de fideos de arroz de ese mismo plato porque eran lo único comestible y "caliente" de ese plato antes de notar el plato principal. Algunas partes del plato estaban frías OTRA VEZ. Tuve que defenderme mientras ella discutía en medio del restaurante frente a sus clientes y tuve que mostrarle mi escupitajo, los trozos congelados en pañuelos y tuve que explicarle cómo movía la comida alrededor de mi plato y diseccionaba la comida. para ver qué más estaba congelado, naturalmente como lo haría cualquiera la segunda vez, pero esta mujer pensó que me comí la comida congelada. ¡Dios mío, la ignorancia! ¡Impactante!

Al final el chef entró en razón después de muchas explicaciones y peleas. ¡No volveremos y nadie debería ir si así es como tratan a...

The place and service were nice, but the food was honestly not that good. Here’s what I got: Limonada frutos rojos: very good Fit Brunch: not good. The toast was served with a chicken pâté that was kind of discussing and had no seasoning, it tasted like nothing, just a bland gooey thing. Then this brunch also came with a yogurt with fruit, and this one was also weird. It was served in a cup, which I would’ve preferred if it was in a little bowl, but most importantly - the yogurt was WARM. So after having that weird bland paste with my avo toast, tasting the warm yogurt was really uncomfortable, weird, and a bit disgusting honestly. I just ate the fruit on top and left the rest. Café con leche: ok. It’s a bit of a pitty because the place is super nice and the service was also good. But I wouldn’t recommend the food. Will probably come back for a...
