El Tropezón

Very average. Better steaks most anywhere, but the atmosphere is awesome with exposed brick, super high ceilings, and a gorgeous bar. The waiter delivered our check and charged us for four covers instead of two. After he corrected this, he stood at the table, blocking my wife from leaving as he counted the cash we left. Not cool. He didn’t check the bill before he brought it, but he sure was going to check the amount we were going to leave in cash.

El Tropezón, a culinary treasure in Buenos Aires since 1975, holds a special place in the city's cultural heritage, having been visited by the iconic tango singer Carlos Gardel himself. Renowned for its incredible steak, the restaurant serves mouthwatering bife de chorizo grilled to perfection, inviting diners to savor the essence of Argentina in every bite. With its charming ambiance and attentive staff, El Tropezón offers patrons a taste of tradition and history, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists. We will come back any time. Solid 5 stars.

Excelent experience at a historical restaurant ( since 1896! ) and the food is delicious and all the dishes are presented in a nice way. Great variety of wines and desserts. Prices are ok and the place is trategically located in the center of the city near the Congress and the mile zero ( bear in mind that in south America the pattern for measurement of distances is the kilometer). The waiters are extremely nice and they are always paying attention to any request.

I stop tonight with my mother and brotherz this restaurant is beautiful, classic and cultural from the 1800's. Food is delicious and very well served. Service is not what I expected, Julio needs to be more friendly, he looks tired and uninterested in our table, but Claudio was very nice and friendly when he brought our food he split our order and served in each of our plate. You have parking next to the restaurant. I paid $45 dollars for 3 entrees, 2 appetizers, 1 bottle of wine, a coffee and dessert. Good deal!

It's one of the best and traditional restaurants in Buenos Aires. It was founded by Spanish immigrants in 1896, who made our nation, and you can feeling it when you are inside of this beautiful bar. A great decoration and a lot of options if you want to drink some cocktails. I will back pretty soon!

We had a lovely lunch here. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Very nice food and friendly staff.

It has not private parking, the service was overworked but the personnel was polite. The first dishes was good but cold, and the rest it was fine ok. It is an old historic place. The main dish is the puchero, a typical argentinean food for winter.

Beautiful atmosphere and wonderful food. Many different local and international options. I recommend giving it a try.

Wonderful service, patient waiter and gorgeous venue. Very reasonable and great value!

People from the comments gotta give this restaurant another chance. I was sceptic given these comments that the place would be horrible but it is much better than expected (given how inexpensive everything is) Service was great, all clean and food was above average good. Place tries to keep old school Argentinian cuisine and I appreciate that. Very decadent

DO NOT EAT HERE. This place gave me a stomach virus from its disgusting food. The entire restaurant is unclean--tables not cleaned between diners, food on the floor, dishes not properly washed. And the food will make you sick.
