maybe they just had an off day? we had very high hopes for this place, but I find it difficult to justify the high ratings others have posted. service started with the server forgetting to give us menus, then almost getting our drink order wrong. we were then, almost arbitrarily, given a small portion of bread (1 roll each), waited a while, then a random plate of chorizo. then we waited. and waited some more. after yet more waiting, I asked the server when we might be getting our food. it finally came about 40 mins after our order was taken. by then, we had finished our drinks and were afraid to ask for anything else. we did end up ordering (and needlessly waiting again) for another bottle of water. a glass of red wine we requested never came.

another family 2 tables down endured the same long wait. keep in mind, this was the beginning of the evening (7 pm) and before the really high traffic time.

in the sense of indefinitely waiting and hoping for something good to arrive, they do provide an authentic Argentine experience. I can say this with confidence, as I have close relatives in Argentina.

the food itself was mostly ok. the mixed empanadas were fried, which was fine. It would have been nice to have some baked as well, since this is the traditional way empanadas are prepared.

as for the asado, maybe the grill was not hot enough? the meat was generally chewy, without the char so typical of the parrillas of Buenos Aires, Tucuman, or even Jujuy.

It would take a lot for me to return to this restaurant.
