Very very reasonable and affordable price. Considering the food portion and milanisa size, it’s awesome. I didn’t notice until I visit more restaurant and figure out how great it was. Nice staff even tho no English speaker. It’s really close to the finishing point of historical free day tour morning session. Walking distance.

It’s a lively, traditional Argentina restaurante with authentic local food. the place has a great atmosphere, warm, busy, and full of locals. I tried the Locro, which was a bit salty for my taste, but the pollo à la plancha was really fresh and tasty.

It feels like you are in a cantina or homestyle restaurant. For those NY'ers, you will enjoy the pictures on the walls like a pizza shop. Food was excellent. Tried some classic dishes. Milanesa made with chicken topped with ham and cheese. Locra and a tamale. Must try. Definitely, pork flavor. On the saltier side. People might say "salty". An excellent experience.

We enjoyed a couple of huge Milanese plus papas fritas and a bottle of Malbec on our last day in Buenos Aires. It was lovely and service was great. We sat outside and had an awesome time. We have loved our time in this beautiful city

Portion sizes are big and one milanesa was enough for two people (which makes it pretty affordable: only ARG 20,000 for two). Food was ok. We had empanadas, milanesa and steak and it was decent for the price we paid.
