I found this restaurant scrolling through Instagram and thought we’d give it a try! Went here for date night and the ambiance was so romantic. Low lighting, beautiful glassware, just an all around vibe. They were pretty slow but it was also a Wednesday night. Drinks were amazing and they had a lot of options. I got the Guava Sunset and it was so refreshing (pictured). We also got the ceviche which tasted very fresh and was a good portion for an appetizer. The filet was perfectly cooked and the chimichurri sauce was to die for. I forgot to take a picture of it because we dug in as soon as it landed on the table. Service felt very personable which I enjoyed. They also gave my date a rose at the end of our meal to give to me which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, great first impression and we will definitely be back! Or I may even bring the girlies for a girls night!

Upon walking in, the vibes were great. The space is beautiful and the music was perfect. It’s Friday at 9:30pm and Im surprised it was somewhat dead with only 5 tables being seated .
They sit us down and someone comes to get our drinks and they drop off a complimentary queso and chips.. that’s nice of them. Except the queso was cold, room temp at best… confused I asked if it’s supposed to be like this ? She said it’s supposed to be “warm”. Takes it back and brings it back scorching hot which is fine but it’s not just “warm”.
By this time we had Guac come as well and we started munching on that.
By time she comes back with the queso we were already almost out of chips form the guac. She has already been I put table 3/4 times and has walked by multiple times without even asking if we would like more chips.. she finally comes up to us and asks us if we need anything and that’s when she finally asked us if we needed anything more when there was literally 1 chip left and we had a bowl half full of guac and queso…. Whatever. She finally brings the second round of chips and the queso is cold again.. oh did I mention that the chips are actually freaking tostadas broken up into 4’s.. lmao. #Ghetto.. they finally bring my steak and ofc. No steak knife.. I don’t even bother. I used the butter knife that was provided and dug in.
The steak was their saving grace. Everything else was sub par.

The chicken plate my lady got was like something could make at home on my grill..
I had high expectations because the place is very nice and inviting.. but the server was not attentive and nothing I had tried had blew me away.
It was a limited menu for Valentine’s Day.. but damn. Only 5 tables … 3 by the time I finished writing this and she had only came to check on us once.. ✌
Our bill was $113 for steak, chicken and guac… without tipping yet. we didn’t even bother with dessert.
I guess that why I just stick to my tried and true places..

I had my birthday dinner here and it was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak paired with a delicious dressing—it was truly an unforgettable experience. The manager, Alejandra, made the night even more special by taking care of every detail for me and my guests. Her attention and hospitality were outstanding. I highly recommend not missing the opportunity to try this restaurant.

Went for an early meal and it was fantastic! The guava/cheese shareable was the standout of the 2 starters. My husband had the steak with chimichurri and asparagus. Excellent! I tried the chicken fajita and loved it! Not like the usual Mexican/tex-mex fajitas. The chicken is well seasoned so you don’t even need salsa or sour cream. It also comes with cilantro rice (I hate cilantro but this doesn’t have a pungent cilantro flavor) which was fantastic!

All in all we will be back. I really hope more people come try it so we keep this gem open in BA!

Amazing experience at Ven Aquí Cocina!
From the moment we walked in, the service and management were on point — super friendly and attentive. The drinks were top-notch, and the food was absolutely delicious. You can tell they put pride into everything they do. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!

I’m writing this review as I currently sit in this restaurant in complete disgust. I’ve been in this place since 7pm and haven’t received my food and it’s 9:30pm. The sprint and coke was flat. They brought out one plate at a time. The shrimp was tough, the food was cold and the service was less than average. Do not waste your time or money. They have the nerve to want to charge $100 for this cold plate of steak. Unbelievable!

We came here pretty late at night, around 1:00 AM, and they still accommodated us with hot and fresh food, albeit with a limited menu (understandably). I had the best expresso martini of my life and their skewers (shrimp and steak) were absolutely delicious. Apparently the business is relatively new and they’re killing it straight out the gate.

We’ll definitely be back for a full lunch or dinner. The bar staff were awesome and the vibes were great. I got a little rose from the staff which was super sweet. Extremely reasonable prices and good portion sizes for the value.

All-in-all, this is a great spot to hang out on a weekend evening, especially if you like to dance.

Ven Aquí Cocina is an absolute gem in Bishop Arts. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, vibrant, and full of character. The food is outstanding—beautifully presented and packed with authentic Latin flavors that feel both elevated and comforting.

What truly made the experience unforgettable was the personal attention. The owner gave us amazing, genuine attention throughout the night, and Alejandra gave us fantastic recommendations—every suggestion was spot on and elevated the entire experience. You can really feel the passion and care behind every detail.

We had an absolute blast celebrating New Year’s here—great energy, great people, and an incredible vibe that made the night feel special. The service was attentive, friendly, and welcoming from start to finish.

Highly recommend for a memorable night out, special occasions, or any time you want great food and an even better atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back

This restaurant was beautiful. It was nearly empty on a Tuesday evening. The Ceviche was delicious. The wait staff was pleasant and attentive. I loved my asparagus. The only thing I think should have been better was my steak. It was delicious, but I don’t think it was Wagu. The fat was not throughout the steak, it was concentrated in spots and lacking in other areas. The Filet that isn’t Wagu looked excellent though.
