"Not a very known restaurant but surely a must visit one!
The prices are very cheap compared to other restaurants in Buenos Aires and the meat is better than most of them! One of the best I've tried in a long time.
The service is exceptional and the atmosphere is great. You can watch the grill man and there are many decorations such as football shirts and photos that makes it nice to wait for the food"

"Traditional restaurant near the River Plate stadium. It’s not cheap but the service and the atmosphere are great"
Carlos Garcia
"Beautiful place, great service. Very chewy meat. Took Rib eye steak. Total disappointment. I've returned first steik, the second one was even worse. And I was charged. The bill was 83£ (113850 Peso). Not coming back. Average Mousse and salad. Good Provolone."
