“ THE BEST STEAK IVE EVER EATEN. So glad I came here the service couldn’t have been better. They give you bread, dip and beans before you’ve even ordered. I then had the sirloin steak 350g which was honestly bigger than my head with the best peppercorn sauce (I think had red wine in it too which was delicious!) and a kind of fondant potato with cheese which was amazing. Honestly the best meal I’ve had in Argentina and definitely the best steak I’ve ever had! Would come back every week if I lived here. 100% recommend! ”
“ Good food in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The restaurant is very large and crowded but not too noisy. The mixed grill is good and, above all, plentiful, but there were only a few cuts of actual meat and mostly offal. The flan is fantastic, one of the best I've ever tasted. There are many wines, but there is no wine list: you have to go to the large shelf where they are stored, choose a bottle and ask one of the staff for the price, with sometimes absurd but amusing results: sometimes they don't know the price and frantic consultations ensue with little result, other times they give you a price that is different on the bill (but they are always ready to correct it!). All in all, recommended . ”
“ Top notch cuts.. awesome staff and responsible prices. Highly recommended. Amazing atmosphere. Not the cheapest but with 10,000 or 13,000 you eat a very good steak. ”
“ Went for dinner on sunday night. They were busy but we get our table right away and the service was fast and attentive. They very generous with the portion. We love our starter the pork chorizo, the provoleta was a little chewy but still very tasty. I had the veal pasta. Pasta taste little bland but veal was soft and tasty. Price-wise was the cheapest (for 2 starters, 2 mains & a bottle of wine) among all other dinner place we went to in salta. ”
“ Very good food for very reasonable price. Empanadas are good but ribs are a bit hard to chew. Excellent service. ”
