Loved this locally-owned Argentinian spot when we stopped through for a quick drink and appetizers while waiting in the area for an event!The Molleja, sweet breads (which is meat, FYI) and the empanadas we tried were awesome! Fav empanada was the Tucumana, but jamón y queso and the pollo were worth it too. The chorizo was not our fav, I think it had fennel in it, which isn't a personal fav of mine. We were hoping it'd be spicy too. I'd love to come back when I can order entrees too! Appreciated the kind, warm service and a visit from the (female!) owner!!! If I lived in Chicago, I'd come back.

My husband and in-laws came here at 4:30 on a Friday and it was a empty but great for us. We got to choose where to sit and got our waters and bread right away. We ordered a bunch of empanadas (shrimp, spinach, beef). Our server gave us ham empanadas by accident but corrected them by bringing us the shrimp a few minutes later. We got 2 pitchers of their sangria because it was sooo refreshing, especially on a hot day. We got our entrees, I got the chicken in chimichurri sauce. It was a bit salty but the fries were good. The steaks were very good. Our waitress always checked up on us. Place was very clean. Chicken was cooked very well but the saltiness sorta ruined that. I would definitely recommend this place. I would probably order the steak next time.

We came for dinner. We made a reservations even though I kind of felt a reservation really wasn't going to be needed. It's a decent size dining area but there was only four parties the whole time we were there. Service was great, which is kind of expected since they weren't busy. I like these Argentinian restaurants that start you off with bread, salsa and chimichurri. Both sauces were good. The salsa has a nice kick to it and as always a chimichurri that never fails. We also ordered their Criolla empanada as well as their Tucamana. Both were good, but I might say the criolo was a tad bit better. The Tucamana had sliced steak, green onions and eggs. The Criolla had ground beef, red bell peppers, onions, yellow raisins and olives. My wife ordered their Pollo a la Chimichurri. It was good but I'm honestly not a big fan of ordering chicken at restaurants. Unless it's fried. I ordered their Entraña. I love love love skirt steak and was kind of disappointed in this one. Although it was tender, it missed on flavor. Almost flavorless. Luckily there was still salsa and chimichurri, because that's what I used to have a more enjoyable bite. There's a few other Argentinian restaurants that I would want to try before taking this place off my list. It will definitely be a while before I consider returning here though.

LOVE love love this place! The food never disappoints. The skirt steak is mouthwatering, the empanadas are amazing, the chicken chimichurri is delicious!! And I can't forget about the sangria!! One of the best ever! You really can't go wrong with anything you order. The art and the live music are a perfect touch. The service is always great with staff that has been there for years.

Absolute disappointment. Food was good- but the service was so bad. I mean, absolutely horrid. We were ignored, & were met with borderline hostility.Our friend got here an hour late & we still hadn't ordered our food. When we were asked how our evening went- & when told honestly that the service was bad, were met with a cold "oh well, we had a wedding, that's just how it is." Will never come back.

I've been coming here for years and they never disappoint me. Their Argentinian empanadas are terrific. My favorites are the shrimp and cheese and the spinach. They have a nice variety. Their churrascos are really good! And the pitcher of sangria is so tasty. The ambiance is perfect for the whole family especially on Thursday nights when they have live music.

I loved the empanadas. I had the Criolla and the Tucumana. Awesome chimichurri sauce. The sangria has to be the best in the city.
