My boyfriend and I came here so hungry and left beyond satisfied. We started with three empanadas: 4 Cheeses, Matambre, and Caprese –my boyfriend absolutely loved the Caprese. All of the empanadas were warm, fresh, and full of flavor. They also served us homemade chimichurri and a spicy sauce, which paired perfectly with them.
After that, we shared the chicken and beef ribs, along with French fries and mashed potatoes, and it was more than enough food for the two of us. Both the chicken and beef were incredibly tender, juicy, and flavorful, and the sides complemented them perfectly.
The service was excellent — very attentive and welcoming — and the owners were extremely kind, which made the experience even better.
We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing Argentine food and great hospitality! ✨️

My husband and I like to try any Argentinian restaurant we come across (his family is from Argentina). We came across this one in a web search and are very happy to have visited. The empanadas were hot, fresh and delicious… and the closest to his mother’s besides my own that we’ve found. The chimichurri was light and bright. We also ordered the Crazy Mix for 3 of us. We left with about half for leftovers. Everything was very flavorful and the chicken breast especially was cooked to perfection. Not the least bit dry. Mariano was pleasant and welcoming. The space was impeccably clean. My one negative would be it was a bit chilly. Definitely recommend. We will be back.

Absolutely loved this Argentinian restaurant! The food was amazing from start to finish, but the sweet beef empanadas completely stole the show—perfectly seasoned, tender, and with just the right touch of sweetness. You can truly taste the love and authenticity in every bite. I will 100% be coming back for more!

Nice, relaxed, and comfortable place with excellent food. The service was cordial and friendly. I had the Crazy Mix Parrilla and the meat empanadas — both were great. The restaurant is casual but still has a great date-night vibe. Highly recommend!

My daughter wanted to have a quick empanada lunch for her birthday before the celebration .. I have to be honest , we are not empanadas or Argentinian food lovers .. till we tried this place .. we realized we didn’t know much about their cuisine. Food was delicious , fresh and tasty. Empanadas made from scratch were probably the best I’ve ever tried . The choripan with chimichurri sauce was soooo good !! The owner was super nice and service excellent . I enjoyed the black coffee and my daughter loved her mango smoothie . Great restaurant! just a few blocks from home . We definetely are coming back to visit. Also is byob.

We tried this place for the first time and were excited to try the parrillada that was advertised online. It was actually really good! The salad was fresh (which is super important), and the lettuce they use is actually pretty amazing. They told us they just started promoting the parrillada, so it’s not on the regular menu. But if you eat more of one of the meats than the other, you can customize it. The French fries are homemade, and I highly recommend them!
I had a Passion Fruit Mojito mocktail, which was pretty good.
This place is also BYOB, and they serve wines from Villa Milagro. Next time, we’re probably going to try the sandwiches or empanadas. I’m not sure, but we’re definitely coming back!

After hearing about their empanadas and wanting to cross off another Argentine restaurant in the metro area we came in to give it a try. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality, freshness and flavor of the dishes that made it to our table. We started with a large assortment of their empanadas which were very commendable, my favorites were the chicken and humita. The empanadas here are baked (not fried as someone incorrectly mentioned in an earlier review), with a buttery, crisp finish. Good Argentine representation which isn’t easy with all of the empanada varieties available in the tri-state. For a main meal they specialize in milanesas and sandwiches with the classic choripan leading the lineup. We went with several milanesa plates and a couple of sandwiches. The milanesas, beef in our case were topped with prosciutto, arugula, mozzarella and couple of us had them served caballo style with two freshly fried eggs on top were sensational. The milanesas came out hot, perfectly fried and delicious. The orders came with some of the best homemade French Fries that you will find this side of Buenos Aires. There was no room for desserts, although they have some good looking flan and tres leches. This establishment also serves as a bakery, making the classic Argentine facturas, which all looked scrumptious. Can’t wait to return for empanadas and Choripanes for lunch. By the way the sausages in the choripan were outstanding and are specially made for them.

Everything about this place is perfect. The people, the food, the interior design… you can’t ask for a better experience. The owner recommended the sweet beef empanada and it did not disappoint, I highly recommend it. All the empanadas I tried were amazing, I also had the Chicken Bacon one which was also super delicious. I live in the area and I am thrilled that this place exists and I will be frequently returning. We also had the strawberry Nutella empanadas which were divine. I can’t say enough great things about this spot. Make sure you enter the restaurant dancing to receive a free tea or coffee!!
