Boca Juniors — Restaurant in New York

I was in Miami Beach just a few months ago, my wife and I were walking around in Miami Beach when we suddenly run into an Argentinian restaurant Liberty Steakhouse, we went in and ate the best steak ever👍we ate the steak call "Vacio." Everything was so perfect even the chimichurri was so delightful❤

Today, We visited Boca Juniors Steakhouse, we ordered the Vacio steak but this was poorly executed...the steak was tough, I believe it needs to be marinated first for a few days so the steaks gets more tender? Boca Juniors doesn't do that? Anyway, the only thing we like was the fried yucca...The Chimichurri was basically done with lots of oil and vinegar but not enough herbs and spices, Chimichurri was lukewarm and boring...

Also, we notice this restaurant does not have good ventilation systems because the dining room was full of smoke. Before ending my review, I want to mention that my wife came back from the restroom and told me that there wasn't soap in it? I stood up and went to see a waiter, "Carlitos," I told him that there wasn't Soap in the ladies room but his response was that He was not in charged in refilling the soap in the ladies room and that he was going to tell someone but He never did it...But Carlitos never forgets to add the gratuity on every single Check, right Carlitos? That's another thing I want to mention, we were sat by the POS computer and noticed that the waiters were kind of Demanding, they were telling their customers how much and how to get their tips...what kind of the business is this? Very unprofessional!

Going back to the restroom, If there's not soap at a restaurants restroom, I believe a restaurant is disgusting and end of story...

I will not recommend this restaurant to...

I've always wanted to come here, as an Arg/Amer and Boca fan. So the opportunity arose a business trip and 3 daughters all made it to NY. Let me start with the good, the pictures/trophies and banners were great to see, I was able to share stories and some of my childhood w/them. So the waiter comes over 5 or 6 in total wearing Boca shirts non of them were Argentine, he spoke very very fast as we were listening trying to decide how and what to order. Well we ordered Boca parillada the gnocchi was frozen and under cooked, the sauce was tasty but had to leave it un eaten. As we were eating the waiters formed a circle in the middle of the restuarant just bs'ing i found that odd, then again as we were leaving the I stood up to stretch and the owner looked over at me with a "cara de culo" and asked me if there was a problem, naturally i said no all is good, he responded oh ok then as I looked over toward the front door all the waiters were packed by the exit, real thugish like, I said to myself whats going on here man. So I took the tab,they added the tip and I added a lil more as to show them money wasnt a concern for me as it was for them, I would have glady paid for a better meal and service, to which If your looking for great Argentine food, atomosphere and down to earth servers,go to 'La esquina criolla" down the block on 69th and the orig one in Corona, that parilla I mentioned $66 there, so I left disallusioned and felt like I just visited a tourist trap ! You make...

I haven't been to this restaurant in a long time, but we were in the area and decided to give it a try. We showed up at 10pm and the restaurant closes at 11pm. We walked in and stood in the doorway and no one greeted us. Finally after a few minutes one of the waiters notices us and walks over reluctantly. We asked for a table for 3 and he exhales and says you gotta leave at 11, ok. We should've left, but we were hungry and it was only gonna get later and more difficult to find something to eat with the curfew in effect so we said ok. We sat down and the waiter only have is a few minutes to look at the menu before coming back to ask what we wanted. My girlfriend had just had her wisdom teeth taken out so she couldn't eat anything too chewy so she asked what soups they had and the waiter was like I don't have any soups I'm just trying to get you outta here. Now, I didn't hear this otherwise I would have gotten up and left. My girlfriend only told me this later because she didn't want to make it a big deal. In any event we hurriedly ordered the grill for 2 with rice and fries. The food was very delicious everything was seasoned perfectly. Didn't really care for the endtrails though. Also, the check was dropped while we were still eating, not that we would have gotten dessert at that point. The staff started breaking down the restaurant before 11pm and started cleaning. They really wanted to get out of there at 11. Honestly, I don't know that I'd come back to this restaurant which is a shame because the food is really good. If you do come here be sure it's far from closing time unless you don't mind being rushed. I still gave this place 4 stars for the food they lose a star for...
