Passing through this town on a motorbike journey south east to Uruguay, I looked up the Lonely Planet advice on the ‘best’ local flavour parrilla. I also looked at some contrary reviews but ended up here anyway. Not sure what ‘local flavour’ means but if it is a sticky table-top diner with a surfeit of brown and artwork by Tacky-Motels-R-Us then it scores high. Friendly waiter though despite insisting wine only came in red or white flavours, or a weird combination only ‘big city’ residents were aware of. I accepted his recommendation of the assorted parrillada, with a salad bar on the side. Beware, a salad bar in Argentina contains more meat than a pregnant Victoria Beckham. What looked like artichoke turned out to be tripe. The meat was incredibly tough, mostly inedible. Should have followed the...
Read moreGreat Argentine grilled meat. They have hot plates for 2 or 3 people which had a good variety of meats and accurate proportion for each person. The meat was grilled excellently. They have a wide selection of wines to accompany your meal. They also have kids plates. The service and attention was great.

Read moreViernes a noche. Elegimos de la carta la parrillada diente libre (la mas cara) decia incluye entrada y mesa de ensaladas. Nunca hubo entrada (antes daban una empanada) pregunte y ya no...aun asi, figura en la carta. No incluye papas fritas tampoco (antes si). Mesa de ensaladas: vitel toné (lonjas de carne con mayonesa), arrollados resecos, para mi estaban viejos, remolacha: agria, anda a saber de cuando. Tomates verdes. Primer corte: cerdo a la cerveza,congelado, la salsa de "cerveza" estaba dura arriba de la carne. Morcilla bien, chinchulin bien, chorizo muy picante, entrecot sin sal, frio, matambre de ternera, sin sal, duro incomible...le pregunto al mozo si hacian la carne sin sal...me dice que no...le comenta al parrillero,el siguiente corte nos lo trae: bañado en sal gruesa...el mozo no sabia como disculparse...no incluye las papas...para subsanar TODOS los errores nos ofrecen el postre gratis: pido tiramisu: pura crema de leche sin azucar y 3 vainillas en cafe, SIN GUSTO A NADA!!!...y mi pareja pide flan, le traen budin de pan...y no le explican porque...NUNCA MAS! Una absoluta estafa y tomada de pelo! Pobre mozo, debe tener muchas quejas porque a la primer pregunta (no queja) que le hice sobre la sal, me ofrecio cambiar la parrillada por cualquier otra cosa de la carta...PESIMA EXPERIENCIA, cambio mucho...
