This place was great! Firstly, they had a English language version of their menu, which was very comforting for my kids, who aren't as adventurous as their dad. Second, our server spoke great English and was very conscientious, making great recommendations, and asking us about what we liked. The food was great (except for maybe the kid's meal, but that's to be expected, and my 10 year old was warned against it! The beef was very good, and being from Kansas City, we would know. One of my daughters had what the menu called chicken broth soup as an appetizer, but it was a lot more than broth! We all tasted it, and found it to be wonderful, with what was surely hand cut chicken and vegetables. Dessert was amazing. You must have the flan if you go. Great restaurant experience!

He was friendly, knowledgeable and quick. And kept coming to check on our table. Argentinian food in a cool decor with even cool music being piped by Dj Marcelo Cav. Food was very taste and very plentiful so be mindful of that. We began with a small tasting of a broth that was brought from the chef which was a bit salty. Andres also brought over a small tray with three different salsas: a green salsa, a spicy red one and chimichurri. A small basket with bread and chips was also brought out. Then we ordered mollejas (sweet breads) and provoleta cheer with Argentinian chorizo as appetizers. The mollejas were delicious!! A must have!! Then the main course: bife de lomo (they have two sizes, go for the smaller one it is enough) and an arrachera which was tasty too. Sides we ordered mashed potatoes, asparagus with shredded cheese in top and a cream of spinach. Mashed potatoes and the asparagus where the star of the side dishes. No room for dessert unfortunately so when we come back, we will have to get that.

I also ordered a baked potato as a side. There was a list of sides. The potatoes AND french fries were served. How could they serve both?? All this with a small soup and a water for the princely sum of $30USD.

It came only with a small side of grilled onions. The cut we ordered was familiar to us and normally has a firm texture. We asked for med-rare. What we got was raw. It was fork tender from being overly tenderized which took away all flavors. It was horrible. We ate around edges, paid our bill and left. Terrible piece of beef, overly tenderized to point of having no flavor. Cooked raw, not med rare as ordered. Tried to cook it a bit more on hot platter with out success. Waiter dissappeared , finally got his attention, paid and left.
