Skirt steak, fries & plenty of chimichurri sauce are washed down with wines, including many malbecs.

I visited last Friday for a company celebration lunch. We had the entire back room, which felt like a private oasis. The service was absolutely wonderful! The atmosphere was “victorious” (think Argentina)—you’ll understand exactly what I mean once you visit.
Because we were a large group, the food took a bit longer than expected, and my steak had cooled down by the time it arrived. However, the Pollo Organico al Champignon was delicious; my coworkers saw it and immediately had “order envy.” I suspect if you come in a smaller group of 2 or 4, the steak would be perfect.
Overall, a great experience. Go Messi!

This has quickly become my favourite restaurant in NYC! They take such good care of their guests and the steak is always cooked to perfection. You really can’t go wrong with the menu or wine list. 10/10. Must go!!!

We had an incredible time at Buenos Aires watching the Super Bowl with friends — everything was amazing from start to finish! The atmosphere was lively and perfect for the game, the food was packed with rich Argentine flavors, and the wine list complemented every dish beautifully. A huge shoutout to our waiter, Julio, whose friendly, attentive service made the night even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back soon — highly recommend this spot for great food, great drinks, and unforgettable service!

I’ve been here several times and always enjoyed it, great food, great service, no complaints there. But on my last visit, I was surprised at how much the prices have jumped.
I ordered a milanesa with French fries and a Sprite, and the bill came out to almost $56, Fries alone were listed at $12, which honestly feels a bit much and excessive. I get that it’s Manhattan, but come on, it’s the Lower East Side, not Times Square.
The quality and service are still solid, but at those prices, I’ll have to think twice before coming back. Might start exploring other spots in the area next time.

Had a craving for some Argentinian skirt steak so finally came here to give it a try. Ordered the U.S.D.A Prime Entraña 10oz, and it was juicy and flavorful, with or without the chimichurri sauce (I slightly preferred without). The staff was super kind and friendly too.

This used to be by far my favorite meat restaurant in NY, and is still a very solid option. The only thing that has changed is that we used to know the waiters but there has been a bit of turnover which makes the welcoming a bit less personal.
That being said, the meat there is very very solid for a steakhouse in NYC, while being on the relatively affordable range (for a steakhouse).
I highly recommend the empanadas for the appetizers (any of them, but I do love the cheese/onion one), the provoleta is a solid option as well (but obviously a bit heavy on the stomach!), and as for the meat I always go for the entrana and the ojo de bife, both being super tasty and good.
My only small complaint is the wine list – there used to be more choices, and I wish sometime that they would offer corkage fee as I am a bit wine enthusiast and sometime would rather bring my own bottle (even if I pay a fee for it) and enjoy better wine than classic cab / malbec.
But overall solid option, and always one of my go-to in NYC for a steak.

Was excited to try out a local steakhouse, but was very disappointed. Walked in and no one was there to seat us for 10 minutes. It didn’t smell very pleasant, a bit like an old locker room.
The food itself was very bad. Wait was also long for subpar food. Got empanadas for starter, I’m not Gordon Ramsey but they were 200% microwaved.
My friend and I got ribeyes, rare for me and medium for him. Literally 2 steaks and that’s it. Yet the waiter completely mixed our steaks up, which we noticed after starting to eat. Waiter didn’t ask once how our food was or if we needed anything else. If you want anything besides the already overpriced small steak, you have to pay money. Not a single complementary side of even mashed potatoes or fries, which is laughable for a “steakhouse”.
I wouldn’t eat here again even if every other restaurant in Manhattan was closed. Leave alone for 70 bucks per person.

My wife took me here for my birthday. Came on Friday night at 8:30 our server was Mauro who was excellent and went above and beyond. My wife and I got an order of the beef empanadas (the order brings 2, had 1 each) as an appetizer with the chimichurri the empanadas were awesome, but the chimichurri was missing a little something in flavor. We both got a 12oz Argentine ribeye cooked medium which was unbelievable, nice and crisp on the outside of the steak and juicy in the inside, sides are separate and we got steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes which were good, but the steak was the star. Mauro and some of the staff sang me a happy birthday and brought me a little desert, which I greatly appreciate. I will definitely be back at Buenos Aires, next time I am in NYC.

Favorite restaurant in NYC. Open on Christmas Day when we were delayed by a cancelled flight. Couldn’t have been more accommodating.

The food was undercooked. My friend and I ordered ribeyes, one cooked medium rare and one medium. The waiter mixed up our steaks. My friend is very anti-blood, so he was very disappointed with having to eat a bloody steak. The atmosphere smelled unpleasant. The waiter was too busy to take our order promptly. The appetizer seemed like it was from the microwave and smelled like sweat. The food was overpriced. We paid $200 for two steaks and two empanadas. Maybe it’s the neighborhood, but as true New Yorkers we felt like we were mistreated. I would rather go to Mac Donalds.
