I had an amazing meal at this restaurant! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. We started off with the ribeye pinwheels appetizer, and they were a real treat—perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. For the main course, I went with the ribeye with mashed potatoes, and it was fantastic. The steak was so tender and juicy, and the mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful, a great match for the ribeye. My friend had the filet mignon with a house salad, and it was cooked perfectly too. The filet was so tender and full of flavor, and the salad was fresh and crisp.

Everything came out just as we hoped—cooked to perfection and full of flavor. It was a great dining experience, and I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes from the menu!

We always love dining here when we visit Philly. Great empanadas, good wine, very good beef.

Went to malbec for the first time yesterday and oh boy. Everything was perfectly cooked and the service was great. I even forgot to take pictures and that says a lot lol. I can’t recommend the mushroom and cheese empanadas enough as well as the mollejas bruschettas. I recommend this place 100% and will definitely come back.

This is the only restaurant in Philly that really reminds me of the Argentinian food my family makes! The selection is fantastic (highly recommend the empanadas, milanesa, y gnocchis) and they have a sublime collection of wines and cocktails. You can’t go wrong with a mint fernet and coke😊 The staff are remarkably friendly and attentive, and the owner is so welcoming!

Always a nice time. The happy hours are an amazing deal so we always get some rib-eye pinwheels, empanadas, coconut mojitos and sangria. Everyone is friendly and it’s usually a pretty relaxed vibe

Went for restaurant week this past Saturday. I get that they were busy but I ordered a medium rare steak off the 60 dollar menu and was sorely disappointed at how rare it was. There were a lot of white veins in so was hard to cut. Lots of fat on it as well. My friend ordered steak off the 40 dollar menu and that one turned out better than mine! The appetizers were good though.

Server took a while to check on us but once he did, I was able to send the steak back. (even though ettiquette says not to do that) Steak came back lukewarm but at least it looked a bit closer to medium rare.

The service was ok. My friends and I were here for 2 hours. We ordered our food right away and just spent most of the time chatting and waiting for food. I was close to running out to put money in the meter because we were still waiting for our check to come.

I did tip the server 20 dollars/60. But I won't be coming back any time soon.

WOW, we had a great meal. We had trouble deciding what to choose for dinner. Julia was our server, and she was awesome 👍. Food was hot, delicious and presented beautifully. The food was perfect ( I had steak 🥩) cooked as I wanted it. When we first got there, I thought it was a " hole in the wall" , but don't let that fool you! All our food was good, hot, and was peppered with garnish. The entire dinner experience was fantastic 😊. We will be back for sure 😊. Thank you all 😁.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian diet available along with gluten free items.

Kid-friendliness: Julia was attentive to my granddaughter and made sure she was comfortable.

First time experiencing restaurant week and I must say it did not disappoint!!!
The restaurant immediately greeted me and sat us down exactly right at our reservation.
The employees are really friendly. And the esthetic of the place was very nice alot of Argentina cultural designs ..
the lunch menu was amazing.
Beef empanadas freshly made so hot and very flavorful.
We ordered the burger which was homemade and definitely sooo juicy with a nice brioche bun. Homemade fresh cut fries and lastly the dessert Tres Leche was amazing ..
No complaints and highly recommended.
Ohhh did I mentioned the cappuccino nicely presented and rich taste.

Don't show up in a wheelchair because they'll turn you away when empty tables can be seen from outside. Not a very inviting experience on the 1st day of February 2025.
Luckily Stella's Pizzeria on the other corner were more hospitably understanding. 5 ⭐ 🇮🇹 Forza Italia!

Great food and drinks, chocolate martini is delicious.
