El Asadito

The menu is extremely simple with no pictures so it might take longer to decide what you want as you have to read through for a bit. Besides pictures they do have meat, pasta, salads, kid meals, desserts, wines/beverages, and such. I got a whole platter of different meats for 1 group and it was plenty for 3 people and a provoleta. I haven’t had that much meat in quite a while so I found the meat quite salty towards the end and was just meated out but the meats and provoleta were honestly really good and the portion size for the price matched up nicely. The whole restaurant has this nice vibe to it and the sets are nicely spread out and there are quite a few all around. I had multiple locals tell me to visit this restaurant in my trip and I’d definitely recommend it to others.

We went with a large group we met on a tour and had a very nice time. The restaurant is quite big, and they weren’t particularly busy so the had no problem accommodating our table of 12. Of course, service was a little slow considering all our order, but the food was good. We particularly liked the sweetbreads and chinchulines. The steak dishes to share are very big, more than enough for 2 people.

The Meat here was terrible and not what i expected from reading the good reviews. I highly do not recommend visiting this restaurant. The prices were very hígh for the poor quality food, hence we left the plates near full.

The customer service of the waiters left a bad image for me. We made lunch in two hours and waited for the bill to pay another two hours. They did not know how to make a hand-printed ticket since there was electricity at that time. The manager and the waiter of the place invited me to fight. Not only with me with other people who were having lunch, there are people in the same situation as me.

The portions are huge. Dishes are well prepared with high quality ingredients. The staff was very kind and welcoming. We had a Provoleta as a starter, the cheese used in this plate was a very good companion for the Malbec wine. We had el asadito as a side dish, I wish it had a seasoning but it was ok with the tastefully grilled pumpkin. We had one Picaña plate, the top sirloin cap was prepared very well, quite soft, juicy and delicious. We shared all with a bottle of Malbec wine as two persons and it was too much for us. Great quality and good prices, we paid 7700pesos for all.

Good quality food, I was satisfied but not totally impressed. The men's bathroom could use some cleaning and maintenance work.

Amazing restaurant with great steaks. The 500g and 750g steaks are well worth the advertised 45 minutes of wait.

Very nice an cosy and super friendly. Nice decoration and a descent menû, all very delicious. Come for sure again.

Nice location in Mendoza. In general our food was good, nice salad and a delicious milanesa (breaded beef cutlet) but the skirt steak (entraña) was so tough we could barely chew it and most remained uneaten. Perhaps their other cuts of beef are good but I was very disappointed with this dish. Incredible to be in Argentina to be served the worst cut of beef ever.

We stayed in Mendoza for 3 nights - and had dinner here twice! I'm not typically a repeat diner during vacations, but we had such an amazing experience the first night, that we met some new friends the next day and took them there the following night. The parillada was delicious (and super-filling for two) and the house red wine was amazing. (And, as a bonus, you can have it served in a penguin pitcher.)

Ok, yes it's my first time here, but shit, este parrilla es fantastico!!! The meat was tender, there was so much, and all of it was really good! (You might nor guess but #iknowc)

I had a business lunch there in early December 2017. It was a Friday and I got there at about 12:15 for lunch. There were only about 8-10 tables occupied. We both ordered the Ojo de Bife ribeye and mashed potatoes. I also got some green beans. We received the meals in about 15 minutes and by that time, the restaurant was packed and bursting at the seams. The capacity is about 200 diners. Very fun vibe with birthday groups from offices and a great Friday afternoon party atmosphere. The steaks were the best I had in the week I was in the country. To be honest, I only went to Mendoza on this trip and I was somewhat disappointed in the overall steak scene there AND the high prices compared to 2015. Restaurant prices have at least doubled since Dec. 2015 in comparison to the USD. Back to the food: So this was the best meal I had in Mendoza out of the 15 or so restaurant meals in the week. The steak was perfect in every way. Beautifully marbled and cooked oh so perfectly medium rare. Seasoning is never the best anywhere in Argentina so I've learned to bring a little shaker of pepper with me from California...you won't find any there! I have no idea why those folks are so afraid of any heat. I mean ANY peppery heat at all. The mash p was perfect and the beans were also fine, but I did add a bit of butter to them. This is not a sign of bad cooking, just chefs who are afraid of pushing any kind of boundary (as all chefs in Argentina are). With meat though, they are expert scientists when it comes to grilling on the parrilla. And at Asadito, they are Nobel prize winning scientists. Prices are reasonable for Mendoza. About US fifty dol for two of us. Though as I said, Argentina is no longer the crazy bargain it used to be. WiFi is good and a plus when you are waiting for your dining partner. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best non-winery restaurant in the Cuyo region (the 3 provinces around Mendoza).

We got there at 9 p.m. and there were still a lot of empty tables. By 10:30, it was full of Mendocinos and their families. We took our sweet ass time, as is the custom in South America. We started with an empanada and a sangria. It was the best empanada I've ever had (and that is saying lot since I've been married to a Chileno for 21 years.) The meat tasted like grass fed beef I spend $8 bucks a lb for at home, but the empanada was 15 pesos which is less than $.50 cents. Regalado. For our late supper we opted for parrillada for 2 people. It was good, our favorite was actually the sausages. Blood sausage and chorizo. The meat was tasty, but way more tough than we are accustomed to. I think if we went back, we would just get a filet or something. The service was very friendly. We had a really cute waitress who recommended a bottle of malbec that we really enjoyed (Alamos). The ambiance was super happy and the restaurant well lit, but not too bright. It would appear that it is locals' favorite and I would definitely go back. Our total bill was about $40 bucks with tip.

This is a great restaurant. Mid price. Attentive wait-staff and great meat!!! Like most restaurants in Mendoza, they are open for lunch (until 2:30ish or 3) and then close until 8 or 8:30ish and stay open until past mid-night. Accepts credit/debit cards.
