“ Very good meat at affordable price. Try the flan con dulce de leche ”
“ Simple and delicious asado. Don’t expect something too special. ”
“ I’m tremendously happy I chose this neighborhood parrilla over the famous and formal one a few blocks away. This is a true neighborhood parrilla, and it’s delightful to feel part of the neighborhood while at the same time enjoying a lovely meal. As a “yanqui”, I can be clumsy ordering, but the waitress was wonderfully patient and made excellent recommendations. They brought a small portion of tortilla de papas to the table automatically. I ordered a half-portion of tiro de asada (cross-cut short ribs), mashed potatoes, and chorizo (the sausage… not the bife de chorizo, which I think is sirloin in English). This was enough to leave me stuffed to the gills and with a second full meal to bring home. The meat was perfect (medium well, but still juicy enough for someone who is accustomed to ordering meat medium). Taking into account the exchange rate, the bill came to around $11 (USD). My only regret is that I didn’t bring friends so we could try more dishes. I love this neighborhood spot! ”
