Authentic Uruguayan food 🇺🇾 if you come here you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t try the parillada. Hefty portions of grilled meats with delicious sides. I recommend getting potato salad/fries as a side since it is most authentic. Don’t come here and order maduros lol. I recently tried their spinach ravioli which was delicious! It did come with ham so beware of that! Overall I always have a great experience here.

Great place to try something different. Carne was very tasty, Uruguayan stake house. Don't be intimidated by the table clothes just go in and feast. Service could be better. The cook or manager came out, it was nice.
Our first time in this place they could make recommendations.
It is a repeat place

Thanks

This place has gone downhill it used to be good. Lets start with the atmosphere, their air was off along with the grill being on so that made the place extremely hot. Canelones were old, filling was still cold from reheating it and filling had no flavor. Sangria was so sweet, it doesn't taste the same as before maybe old bartender left. Chinchulines were chewy not crispy. Worse part they added gratuity and charged me the credit card fee, but don't accept AMEX. Usually businesses don't accept AMEX because they say it costs more but they are charging me the fee so why not take AMEX? Bad experience will not be returning.

The food was way over priced for just 2 pieces of ribs. Lady tells me 25 min turns i to over 40 min wait time. Just not worth it.

Bad food and even worse service. If you are ready to wait hours for terrible overpriced food this place is for you. This dump has a lot of nerve including gratuity on the check. Never coming back again. 1 star - even though they deserve less. Please close permanently.

Very disappointing experience.
The waiters were extremely rude from the start. Our food was burnt, and despite the restaurant being nearly empty, they seated us right next to the barbecue. When we politely asked to move, our request was rudely denied. Would not recommend.

True authentic Uruguayan food. Prepared on an open parilla. The meat is all well prepared and tender. Wonderful atmosphere and even better service. This place makes you feel like you are part of a family.

My first time eating Uruguayan cuisine. Food was Great!!! Best steak I have ever had!!! Steak was so juicy even when I asked for a well done one.
Customer service needs a bit of improvement. We waited to be seated even if they had open tables. As soon as we ordered the drinks they wanted to know what we were going to order leaving us no time to look at the menu even as a first time customer. Other than that, I would 100% recommend this place.
