Tabla meat platter was terrific, you can tell it is authentic . Medium rare only! Empanadas , grilled octopus and provolone apps were delish. Red sangria to wash it down.
The empanadas were delicious, the squash/farro salad spectacular and the chorizo amazing. Don’t forget to get the skirt steak (amazing to share). I will definitely come back!
Amelia Lester on the Argentine steak house : “Go with someone who loves you: the steaks come with a head of roasted garlic on the side, and there’s more in the chorizo .” Read more
If you're looking for a carb-free meal (or just incredible food), start with the burrata and ensalada verde. The carnes are all promising as well .
Morcilla- best I’ve had & I don’t like blood sausage . Other great apps u can’t go wrong: salmon crudo , scallop crudo , ensalad verde, burrata , sardines, must have the provoleta, and skirt steak .
Came in for mums bornday & wanted the empanadas & handmade pastas . The food, owner/chef, & service went above & beyond! Only disappointment was that they ran out of empanadas . Coming back for those!
It's a warm and airy space. The setas salteadas and the entraña were delicious. Our waiter was extremely kind and accommodating. Great dinner , definitely returning!
Friendly service and great food in a beautiful space. Try the empanadas , ribeye steak and salmon crudo . You can get wine in a glass or carafe . Hidden gem !
Nothing disappoints! Had the burrata , skirt steak , sangria , flan and espresso . Everything was phenomenal. Best sangria and flan in the city tho!
We had the bone in ribeye , fusilli , and grilled octopus - all were delicious. Everything was perfectly seasoned and fresh!
Delicious Argentine food , the grass fed meatballs are divine and the Grass fed Ribeye is the best in NYC????????????
Love this gem! We go there because the food is great, the service is excellent, and it’s never busy. It’s like our own private brunch spot ! Love it!
beef empanadas , skirt steak (medium rare) and rib eye (medium rare)! also, eat all the roasted garlic !
Delighted with the place. Your carefully curated menu: beef empanadas , hanger steak and flan for dessert . Red wine to accompany this meal. Thank me later.
The bone-in ribeye is incredibly tender and flavorful, especially when paired with the house chimmi. A great selection of malbecs too
The steak and eggs were delicious. The spritzer and sangria are really good too!
mouth watering rib eye steak !!!! we r still dreaming about it! great service, small place but very cozy
My rare rib-eye steak was expertly cooked and was tender and delicious. Also, very filling! Recommended.
Come here and share with friends/date. Highly recommend the empanadas and skirt steak . Good spot for a date.
Nice place and interesting menu. The carrots and mollejas are delicious! Don't forget to try the ice mate! ????
I adore this place. Great vibe and everything tasted so good! Had steak and a lot of apps.
Completely empty venue & they refused to accept happy hour prices unless we sat at the bar . Happy hour ending in 30 mins, but the waiter insisted there was no way around it ???????? wow! horrible service.
Grill octopus was amazing! Great texture and flavor.
Great service. Corn empanadas and carrots delicious.
Amazing meal. The quality of the meat was excellent, as was the wine .
Great selection of argentine staples and options for picky eaters. Meats!!!
Love their steak . Never too crowded or loud . I don’t even like steak that much but this place does it right
Amazing weekend brunch of real Argentine parrilla ($50/2p)
Boudin noir. Great carrots . Each of four desserts . Nice Malbec selection .
Open and airy restaurant . Check out their virtual tour to see so for yourself! Read more
awesome brunch . for $15 you get a mimosa , entree, and unlimited coffee .
Food is delicious!! $15 brunch includes a drink - get the sangria !
Get the ribeye and the signature empanadas ????
Spectacular food, get everything and share.
Great food for the price when you come for brunch .
The octopus , scallops and filet mignon were fire.
came in for happy hour but later found they didn't honor prices on the sign outside.. explains why the place was totally empty.
Empanadas are decent. Steak is really solid.
Empanadas and sangria are my faves.
Everything I tried was delicious.
Everything about this place is amazing!
Amazing empanadas & steak !
The carrots and mushrooms , for ever
Skirt steak
Setas salteadas (mushrooms ), pulpo and morcilla were just must have, they were so good! Chorizo a little disappointed.
skit this place, if you want argentine food and the legit dining experience, step into "Buenos Aires" just a few blocks north of this dump .
Très bon resto argentin ! Le poulpe en entrée est un délice , les viandes sont aussi excellentes ( le filet de loup que jai pris , très bon mais sans plus )
Viande savoureuse et très goûteuse, desserts de la mort et empanadas fait maison . Staff très sympa dans un quartier cool, que demander de plus!
Arjantin’de steak yemekten farkı yok!
Homey oasis in TriBeCa. The front porch is perfect for a quiet summer brunch. Get the white sangria! - Beth
Skirt steak (although it sounds common) was amazing. Don't miss it. - The Taste Sheriff
Muy ricas y abundantes las empanadas. El vacío como de una muy buena parrilla en Argentina. La parrillada muy completa. Los panqueques y el flan con ddl sublimes ???? - Mar HG
Might be the best ice cream in NY! Come back often as the flavors change every few days! - Marcel
Great cocktails and loved the champagne bar in the ladies room! Also fabulous were the scallops and the tuna poke tacos! - Erin Connealy
One of those new trendy spots in LeS! Amazing rooftops views, though the cocktails dont match up to the scenic views! - Zeba Siddiqi
