We went with a large group (9 people) to say good-bye to family visiting NYC. Of course they were going back to Buenos Aires and to the amazing meat there, but...after a week of American-style food, we decided it was time to get them to this Argentine steak house for some good 'ol Argentine-style meat. Our great surprise was the pizza! It reminded me of the pizza I used to eat in Buenos Aires. Go there just for the pizza, all else is a huge plus. Dessert: Panqueques con dulce de leche: can't go wrong. Meat: skirt steak, the best!

Since 1979, El Gauchito is the place where you can find a little piece of Argentine in New York. In a family atmosphere, you may share an Argentinian barbecue or taste authentic dishes from the Argentine cuisine. We offer an extensive menu, delicious dess

We ordered the meat plate for two (the one without sausage, only different cuts of meat). The portions were acceptable, we both left full. The meat was not spiced or minimally, so you need the chimicuri sauce to add some flavor. The bread was soft and the rice my child had was moist. We asked for our meat medium well, but a few were still undercooked. The lulo juice was good as well as the Russian salad (potatoes, peas, carrots).They do need to have had more options for single meals which include a vegetable. You could order cuts of meat, sausage, etc separately and a salad, but everything was individually. My wife and I ended up getting a shared plate of meat for two which included two sides since we each couldn't order a smaller meat portion for ourselves and one side.The service was kind of slow, and when they brought out our dish it was the wrong one, so we had to again wait for a new platter to be cooked.Strollers are not allowed.

By far, this Pollos Mario is the best restaurant offering typical Colombian dishes. The prices are very fair and the plates are loaded with the best of Colombian food. The taste is exquisite and the variety is tremendous. Every time we travel to New York, this Pollos Mario is a must for us. Pollos Mario is a chain, but this particular location is the best by far.

For a single price with multiple drinks you can experience a great Sunday Brunch with variations like Venezuelan, Dominican, Colombian, in an atmosphere upscale and sleek modern, with attractive personnel in sleek decor. The bar is full and you can sit there or in the dining room which is ideal for group events. The dinner menu has incredible ceviche variations and unusual items like mofonguitos (plantains with chicharron and shrimp) or a fondue. Just an all-round pleasant experience.

Really enjoyed their maracuya sangria and the chicken-queso arepa. Big portion too. Took off one star because service was very matter of factly. Tried to converse in my half broken Spanish and Latin server couldnât have cared less. Miscalculated the tip (thought I was leaving something in the 20% ballpark because of good food and at the time somewhat good service) but she bluntly stated and I quote âwe pay taxâ. The total amount was an astonishing .30 cents more than I had left. Kinda spoiled an otherwise great experience. Still worth going, just donât bother about being friendly yourself.

This Argentinian steak restaurant is situated in Queens, in a neighborhood so full of different flavors. We had been here years ago and I am glad it is still here. Order a small steak , it is pretty big. Medium cooked is best. The margaritas were enormous and the avocado salad with watercress and shrimp is very interesting. Our friends had the American mixed grill and said everything was cooked to perfection; we had steaks and they were amazing as well. The chimichurri sauce adds a different zing to it. The sides were nothing to write home about ( I would have preferred a baked potato) but hey! We came for the steaks. The atmosphere and the service are nice too, not noisy and the servers are prompt. Park in the hospital parking across the street, have your server stamp your ticket and the parking is free. Very convenient.

This was my first time eating here and I wasn't disappointed. I went with my sister and a friend. I had the Matambre with potato salad and tongue salad. The others had short ribs and skirt steak with salad and sweet plantains. All was fresh and delicious. The flan needs some work and the volume of the music was so loud that we had to ask for it to be lowered and they obliged. The service was good!

It is easy to over order here. We wanted to visit with our family so decided to get food to go rather than eat out. Since there were four of us we got the Matador Combo; the menu says the "most popular". We had drinks from home; nothing ordered from the restaurant.Well, the combo is enough for about eight people! Or four who don't care how much they weigh.It included a very juicy and flavorful whole chicken split; nicly spiced outside and juicy inside. A portion of yellow rice and red beans; the best part was the beans, the rice was not seasoned but definately yellow. Fried plantines; testones and sweet plantaines and salchipapa were also included. There was some avacado sauce and a viniger dressing for the side salad. They provided plenty of the sauce and dressing in small portion cups.We ate all we wanted the first night and had leftovers for a few days following. The chicken remained juicy and I used the fries in a hash I made. Pick up was quick and convienet. Check out was fast. I did leave a small tip with the takeout order.

Was very impressed how good the good was. My daughter had the chicaron de pollo and she usually doesn't eat that but she loved it. Very friendly and attentive staff. Very clean and nice environment inside. Food is great. Only complaint is they only take cash
