I wanted to celebrate a late valentine's dinner with my boyfriend and he was in the mood for skirt steak so decided to stop here. It has a very old school feel once you step inside, the walls are covered with pictures of the owner with celebrities, food blogger reviews and other historical pieces of the restaurant. The restaurant is very small but it feels very comforting and cozy. Our server was polite and not overly nice which is great when you are trying to enjoy a romantic meal with your partner. He came around to take our order and bring bread. We ordered a small of sangria, fried calamari, skirt steak and shrimp franceses with a side of sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes. The sangria was sweet but not overly sweet and I loved that the jar was not filled to the rim with ice. The fried calamari was pretty good; not the best I have ever had but still good. The shrimp franceses was very tasty, had a good amount of citrus and the shrimp was huge. The spinach was a bit overpowering, definitely good for someone who is a spinach lover. I tried a piece of the skirt steak and it was cooked a perfect medium rare with the most tender texture. The mashed potatoes were good but again not the best I have had. The perfect end to our meal was a piece of tres leches; it was sweet and moist. I fell in love with this place and will be bringing my family next time so they can also enjoy this delicious Argentine cuisine.

Really delicious Argentinian skirt steak. The lunch special is a good deal ($15) even if the steak portion is a bit smaller because it comes with a filling side and a huge bowl of really fresh tasting salad plus soft hot bread with butter and chimichurri sauce! All of it was good. I ordered medium rare because I was afraid they might overcook the steak but they didn't (it was truly a medium rare) so next time I might level up a bit to medium even though I thought it was also fine as is. Apparently the short ribs were also pretty good. Would definitely return!
