"When I was in Buenos Aires I'd have three meals a day here everyday. The food is pretty good, and so too the very generous serves of wine. They accept credit cards here & you'll find this place to be more affordable than other nearby alternatives. The staff are very helpful - a big thank you to Naz & Omar for their hospitality."

"Huge and delicious milanesa, with a large (though simple) salad. The wine was only okay."

"We popped in here for a late-night dinner and were pleasantly surprised. We had the small onion pizza, which was not only larger than expected but also LOADED with cheese and onions. They also were not stingy with the wine pours. Pizza was about 15000 and wine was about 2900. Our server was also awesome - very fun and friendly. We would recommend this place to others."

"This was our local cafe during our stay in San Telmo. Absolutely loved the medialunas. We would have the cafe con leche with three medialunas for breakfast and they were the best we had in Argentina. Flaky and warm and delicious. The waiter is also very attentive."
