If you are still looking for argentinean food and the best argentinean wines in NYC you should go to Buenos Aires . Exellent atmosphere and service. The place is absolutely wonderfull!!!!!!! And the quality of the food is excellent. Pros: Food, Ambience, Service more

The decor is simple and makes you focus on your date... and the meat! My date RAVED about his filet mignon, but I stayed true (like prior reviews) to the entrana (skirt steak). PERFECTLY cooked as requested. The HOMEMADE chorizo is spicy and has ""snap"". The empanadas are wonderful too, to start. If you still have room after you eat, indulge in a dessert (flan misto is the house favorite)... or a port wine! Friendly service too! If you are really lucky... the owner may come around and chat with you a bit. It really feels like an old, neighborhood joint. Pros: Excellent quality meats, relaxed atmosphere Cons: Larger parties need to arrive ON TIME (not good for your "late" friends!); no hard liquor more

The setting is suave, dark, and 1950s -- brick wall on one side, red-painted on the other. Most tables fit two, we came in as five. With a quirky, yet delightful wait staff, we attempted to order sophisticated dishes (read: sweet bread, their many sausages) only to be shot down and asked to re-order - that's an interesting dish, but not our finest. The four page menu became a list of four menu items - steak, steak, and steak.\r \r But it was excellent. With a choice of filet, ribeye, skirt, ribs, and others, the best selection was ribeye: not as dry as the skirt and a little fattier than the filet. You may call the meal a bit of a simple, maybe even childish, steak and salad meal, but the wine and appetizers demand its graduation from kindergarten to grown-up stuff. Wash it down with a nice Argentinean wine (go for the Malbec with a blend of Cabarnet, Merlot, and Syrah) and you have yourself an excellent meal. And don't forget the interesting cheese and meats appetizer with fine salami, chorizo, and proscuitto as well as three mild cheeses (my guess - brebis and vache milk).\r \r One complaint - the post-meal garlic breath and garlic flavored burping the next morning. The sauce for the steak would have kept any vampire away at least until noon the next day. And one member of the party had the chicken champignon. We asked the waiter how is the chicken, he replied in his eccentric, terse manner, ""Well, it's chicken."" He forgot to mention that it's five-glasses-of-water-later salty chicken.\r \r In short, recommended!\r \r - New York Dining Club\r \r \r Pros: Steak, wine, and setting Cons: Service a bit quirky more

Okay, I hate eating at 7 or 7:30 pm (still feels too early), but I did not mind for Buenos Aires. Part of the earlyness was because of our large group size (though they don't take reservations, you can give them a HEADS UP if you call earlier so they can start setting up a table area), 14, and the flavors and textures of the food were excellent. Any empanada is worth trying-flaky but not heavy, savory and hearty. They even have ones w/o meat, for those who are vegetarian. The churrasco is homemade and SPECTACULAR and has a little spicy flair to it. Obviously, if you are here to dine, you are likely a carnivore. Their signature dish is the Entrana (skirt steak - it's a churrasco, if you will). Flavorful, juicy (mine, medium rare) - arrive hungry, so you can finish it. They also make pasta and parmagiano dishes if you aren't into a steak. Sorry, no hard alcohol sold here, but who cares? Have a beer or try any of the numerous Argentinian wines (there's a fantastic oak-fermented one, reasonably priced!). Dessert was standard stuff - wonderful sorbets! I hear the flan mixto is great (had no room to even try it)... but next time, I'll try the port that 2 people at our table had. Smelled strong but the flavor was concentrated and sweet and it also had a smooth finish. I left quite happy (and stuffed)!! Pros: AUTHENTIC Argentinian cuisine, Hememade sausages/empanadas, low cost wines Cons: Won't seat large group until EVERYONE present; sometimes a long line to dine more

The place was good and the churrasco that I odrdered was grilled very well. The empanadas were heavenly but the wait was long. The servings are really big so arrive hungry and don't order too much - I couldn't finish my meal. Overall this is a nice place. Pros: big servings Cons: long wait more

I really enjoyed this place.the food is out of this world.the wine list is long and accomadates all tastes.the service makes you feel at home like the way mom takes care of you when you go visit her.HAVE KIDS? no problem here.just an all around great eating experience. more

I love this place.The filet mignon I ordered was cooked perfectly.The malbec fabre was exquisite and the price was very reasonable.Thank you very much Buenos Aires. more

I really enjoyed eating here.the food was incredible and the service too.the only argentinian restaurant with over fifty different types of wine from argentina.try the navarro corea.the grilled sweat breads were mouth watering.and the price really unbelievable.I definitely will come back. Pros: excellent food Cons: no reservations more

I've been to this place twice in the last few weeks. Both times I had the filet w/ peppercorn sauce an mixed veggies @ $23 + per plate. Both times an awesome piece of meat and easily equal if not better than cuts I've had for north of $35. I tried the grilled octopus appetizer which was mouth watery, and also the grilled calamari salad which was delectable. For dessert, definitely try the caramel flan. its not generic flan, but an absolute dream. Also, try the 20-year old port (for $10). An absolute steal in NYC. The only negatives I would say are: (a) the word is definitely way out on this place so if you go there fri - sun after 7 PM, you'll have to wait. Also, another downside is that some of the patrons go there and order like nothing, but yap for hours while others of us are menu tasters and will spend accordingly. They have some sign up now that you have to spend $30 per person during world cup soccer, but good luck enforcing that one. I will also say that the wines we tried were not special. I belive we tried the Malbecs, both Oak barreled and non. No offense to Argentines on this board, but perhaps they do not keep the wines well over there due to the heat from the kitchen, etc. Overall a great place, but extremely small space. Oh, and the last time I went, the busboy took my $20 port which was half full at the time (probably in a rush to get us out of there due to the wait behind us). A quick complaint to the owner and I was given a replacement. No worries. Great place, but prepare to wait. btw, Pros: Stellar Food for Meat lovers Cons: Wine not kept well, long wait, table hoggers who spend nothing more

I am not Argentine but lived in Argentina many years. Frankly I have been deeply disappointed by other steak places in New York, particularly those that call themselves Argentine, most of them are extremely expensive but with meat of low quality and if they have good meat most of the time they do not know how to grill it. The ambiance is great, very easy going and the service is excellent. I have made it a habit to eat there every Sunday, but unless you eat at unusual times (like I do) you better make a reservation. Try it you wont regret it. more

The food's good, the wine's moderately priced and the ambience is fine. It's just...you had better be from Argentina. They dont take reservations and after waiting for over 2 hours it was frustrating to see that people were skipped in front of you just because they happened to be from the same country as the maitre d'. That said there arent any other decent steak places in the East Village so if youre hankering for some cow go early, go weekdays or just practise your Buenas Aires lisp and youre all set... Pros: Food, Wine Cons: Service, Crowded more

I found this wonderfull place in my neighborhood. The best steak and the best price you can find. And ald have free wireless conection for my laptop. The service and the people who work at Buenos Aires are so friendly and nice. Great Place, Great Food!!!! Pros: Price, Free wireless, Food more

Ive been in Argentina many times and there are not many Argentinean Rests. as good as this one in New York. The Bife de Chorizo and the Entrana are out of this world. I hope the prices dont go up as it becomes famous. The wines are incredible. They even have the HENRY LAGARDE RESERVA wines that are difficult to find in NYC. Try the Malbec or the Cabernet Sauvignon, they are probably the best value you can find. more

simple is more,Excelent meat ,cook to perfection.great energy and super wines more
