Our Signature Menu

Argentina is famous worldwide for its asado (barbecue tradition), and we bring that same spirit to your table. Our menu highlights:

• Premium Argentine Steaks – Grilled over wood and charcoal, seasoned simply with salt to let the natural flavor of the meat shine. Cuts like ribeye, tenderloin, and skirt steak remain our guests’ favorites.

• Empanadas – Golden, flaky pastries filled with seasoned beef, chicken, or vegetarian options, perfect for starting your meal.

• Choripán – A rustic sandwich made with grilled chorizo, fresh bread, and our signature chimichurri sauce.

• Milanesa – A beloved Argentine classic: breaded and fried meat cutlets, served with crispy potatoes or salad.

• Provoleta – Melted provolone cheese with herbs, a perfect appetizer to share.

• Seafood & Seasonal Specials – Inspired by Argentina’s diverse geography, from coastal dishes to Patagonian flavors.
