Awesome food. The parrillero is a real master of the brazas. The staff amazingly friendly and professional. And the price its accurate with the quality. A must if you want to taste real Argentina's asado.

El Sizzling Chorizo has been a favourite of mine since I was a teen. The food is consistently good and the service is fab. I took my boyfriend here for the first time and he was blown away at how good everything was! He’s already planning to come back again soon!

Fries were nice lol. Comfortable and warm space. I won’t be back as I expected more from what I ordered. In total it was a ($215 meal for 3 + $25 tip). I enjoyed the area, staff were great but the food was bad, 2/10 for the WAGYU Steak Combo. I ordered 1 Medium and 2 Medium Rare. (Ended up getting all 3 Medium Rare/Rare. Honestly disappointed, I saw someone else complaining about it being bad saying it was cold etc… I didn’t believe them I thought they were being cheap but once I got my steak I was very disappointed. Anyways, I appreciated the time I had there and also wish there was more tap beer 🤣 (My rating is solemnly based on the food).

Food is always really good quality. I was a bit a cold tonight but that’s my fault for not wearing another layer of clothing. Could have had slightly more attentive service as had a friend out of town that I was engrossed in conversation But I will definitely be back!

We were allocated a quiet table as requested as my husband has hearing issues. We could still see the food being cooked on the grill. The food was amazing, thank you

One of our steaks had been cooked incorrectly (we requested medium-well and it came out bloody) so we sent it back. We had sent it back a number of times only for the steak to still be too rare. The staff did not seem to understand and kept trying to refer to their steak chart, which still would've stated that we were not given a medium-well steak. We declined a short rib that was offered to us as we had already been waiting awhile for the steak to be re-cooked and just wanted to go home, but this was still brought out. Pork was overcooked and steak was a bit chewy. Overall, I've always had a pretty averge experience here, however this recent experience means I will likely never return again. Hope you can take on the feedback and improve.
