This review was supposed to be a shiny 5-star, but we went in on two separate occasions and they just went downhill.
ATMOSPHERE:
You're literally eating in someone's backyard on temporary tables and chairs either under the covered patio next to the house or on the grass/gravel lot. A huge barbecue grill at the front is a great showcase and emits obnoxious amounts of smoke onto the sidewalk which draws in the people while leaving an indelible scent on your person. A live singer serenaded us with Spanish music. Hopefully you won't be greeted with an "all full sign" as we were on our second day due to its popularity. If so, try and put your name in with one of the staff though there was no organization whatsoever.
MENU:
Salads, barbecued meats and poultry, desserts. Good selection of wine and beer.
TAKEOUT FOOD:
Chorizo Sandwich
We walked in to the place and just did takeout on this cheap, absolutely tasty sandwich. Definitely 5 stars.
IN-HOUSE FOOD (NEXT DAY):
Cerveza Cristal
We ordered a liter of the local brew which was smooth and very affordable.
Carne Empanada
My favorite Argentinian food never came to the table. Very disappointed!
Our Salad
A small dish of arugula, mixed greens, sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese were tossed in a balsamic dressing. Very mainstream.
Provolone Cheese with Mushrooms & Onions
Ooey gooey? Nope. The skillet of cheese sat somewhere and was delivered coagulated, almost cold and hard. Come on!?
Complete Barbecue
A portable charcoal-heated grill-pan arrived with chorizo, blood sausage, ribs, flank steak and chicken. Missing were the kidney, intestines and pork. We informed them about the kidney which was brought separately, nixed the intestines and totally forgot about the pork. The steak and chicken were dry and over cooked, the ribs were super fatty. This was my first try at kidney and it was pretty good! The best of them all was the single chorizo.
SERVICE:
Dreadfully slow and really non-existent. The locals seemed to be well taken care of though. One female worker who we waved over acknowledged us but never returned. The only person who helped us was the cashier/host who brought us utensils and who we informed of the missing empanadas. Everyone else was too busy servicing other tables.
TIPS:
They have a "cover charge" of $1 per table. Why?
Cash only, USD accepted.
Their proudly posted WiFi password didn't work.
OVERALL:
Dry barbecue, horrible service, incomplete orders. Do takeout and leave!
