Very nice authentic place. Service was great. I had an asado de tira, it was very good, flavor was wow. But I felt it was verg expensive. I paid 82usd for a steak, a small salad and water in what is supposed to be a very day to day restaurant.

A great meal in a great place. I loved how the place is decorated with soccer jerseys, all around the hall. Tender meat, great fries, and fast service. The server helped us with the amount of food so we didn't got a huge amount of innecesarie food. They cooked our food how we asked. No complaints at all, I'll be back soon for the pamplona. They have amazing lamb!

A restaurant I first visited years ago, during one of my earliest trips to Buenos Aires. Back then, without much money or dining experience, I found it incredibly impressive. The interior design and atmosphere really struck me at the time. Now, with more perspective, I can see the differences more clearly. They don’t claim to serve Buenos Aires–style parrilla, but rather Uruguayan parrilla. Personally, I think better options can be found in Buenos Aires. That said, the overall experience is still very good—the atmosphere is beautiful, the service excellent, and the meat tasty. However, when you compare the quality of the meat with the prices, it feels somewhat overpriced. It’s still worth visiting once as an experience, but you should keep the cost in mind. They do offer a 10% discount for cash payments, which is good to know. The restaurant is located within Barrio Chino, on the slopes of Belgrano, and parking in the area can be tricky. Opening hours are usually 12–4 pm for lunch and 8 pm–midnight for dinner, so it’s best to check the hours before going. Overall, it’s an enjoyable place, but the flavor doesn’t quite live up to the hype. Still, it’s not a bad experience at all—just not as extraordinary as some claim.

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
