La Pescadorita

Found this restaurant while looking for seafood places in Argentina. It was easy to make a reservation and we were seated very promptly. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and helpful. The food quality was average. Appetizers had great ceviche. with some of the other ones being just OK. The salad was not impressive at all and was on the dry side although their peaches are in season had almost no peaches in it and the ones in it were not with any flavor. The entree was fish was with good flavor. Overall, a good seafood restaurant. We did get asked many times for money by people begging on the street that would walk around the restaurant which I would’ve expected an establishment like this to keep away to make your dinner more pleasant.

Absolute perfection from start to finish. We ordered the Frito Mixto (the fried seafood platter with rabas, gambas, chipirones, and croquetas), and it was incredible. Everything was fresh, and packed with flavor without being greasy at all. The atmosphere is is always wonderful, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive. Top tier seafood in BA and a perfect date spot🦐

The servers were so kind and really tried to turn the experience around but unfortunately the food was really the worst experience we had in over a week in Buenos Aires. The octopus was so boiled that it leaked water and completely disintegrated.. no flavor and falling apart but not in a good way. The fish grill was really off. The shrimp had some kind of chemical taste, I was worried when I ate one.. and half of the grilled seafood had an immense amount of salt leaving it inedible (like the mussels) and the other half with the fish had no salt at all. They changed our dish (to the octopus previously mentioned and a lightly smoked miso butter fish dish). There was no miso flavor at all, just a fake tasting smoke flavor (thought it might be out on the grill actually but it didn’t appear or taste so but tasted like the “liquid smoke” you buy in the states. But also no flavor besides that so I ate one bite and was really disappointed with the meal. The side of rice was incredible though. But as we were going to be late for the futbol match I didn’t get to actually eat anything beforehand, but again they did try. It was just all terrible but the service was so sweet and caring I really don’t want to leave a review like this but being a pescatarian and allergic to red meat I feel the need to help others too. We paid half of the fish grill and the sides plus wine that I got which I found fair since they tried and didn’t complain, but I still felt sad I couldn’t eat anything substantial all day until 22:30 when the game was over. I do thank them for trying, but I wouldn’t come back. The carpaccio was the only thing edible for me but my Italian boyfriend said it was so much lemon it covered all the flavors and “overcooked” the fish (as lemon “cooks” fish). True, but I don’t mind all the lemon, but it wasn’t well balanced so it could have been any fish and I lost the fish flavor.

Oh my goodness .. this place was so good . I am currently writing this at the restaurant- after finishing the shareable plate of fish . It’s so much food . You do not need a starter or even a salad - this was enough . They give you some bread and butter to begin with . I had to order the burrata salad though - it looked delicious and wow it did not disappoint!! The seafood platter was decent . The shrimp and squid did not have much flavor but the fish and prawns were good . The warm bread and butter were good too . Service was great - we came at 7 pm on a Sunday for dinner and there were plenty of seats available. I wish I had room for dessert but I am so full .. I recommend this place !

The seafood was incredibly fresh and the portions were very generous. The male server who took care of us was extremely kind and attentive. Since the servings are quite large, if four people are planning to share, ordering one starter and one main to share would likely be more than enough. The fish was especially delicious and still comes to mind.
