Description:
The slabs of meat sizzling at this parrilla are so huge that you hope the cook doesn't drop one on his foot, which would put him out of commission and deprive you from eating at one of the best parrillas in San Telmo. Following the rule "simple is best," this place concentrates on the food, not the decor, and prices are reasonable. Mismatched vinyl tablecloths and old tacky prints and mirrors in baroque frames are part of the visual disorder here, but keep your eyes on the food. Steaks are thick and well prepared, with interesting twists on the meat, such as lomo (sirloin) in tasty sauces. Pastas, salads, fish, and boneless chicken are served here, too. The place gets very crowded at night, so make reservations if you're coming after 9pm. While the food is excellent as ever, a recent renovation has relegated the grill to the back of the restaurant, so you can no longer watch as your order is prepared.
