The food was delicious, the atmosphere was very cozy, and our server was amazing! I can't remember her name, 🫣 but she was really attentive and made our experience a really pleasant one. We stopped by in the middle of a road trip. It was so good that we tried stopping by on our way back home, but it was closed on Sunday. Definitely recommended!!

Ate at this restaurant for dinner during a business trip to downtown Little Rock. I would categorize it as a Latino/South American fusion restaurant. Many of the dishes are beef or steak based and that is what I ordered during my visit. The flank steak was cooked exactly as I ordered it, which is good because many steakhouses have issues getting a steak rare for some reason. The grilled asparagus that came with the steak was also cooked and seasoned well. The service was fast but also friendly and welcoming and they answered any questions we had regarding the menu items. The only reason I deducted a star was because my steak was a little tough. Perhaps that is a trait of the cut and maybe I should have asked to have it cooked a different way besides my usual rare but it is the only issue I had with my visit. Overall, it was a good meal and I would come back to eat here again.

We visited this restaurant to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. We ordered a Bife de Chorizo, which is an iconic dish in Argentina. Unfortunately, both the meat and the other meat dishes were tough and dry. The French fries were not a good choice. However, the asparagus was quite good. Additionally, some of the sides listed on the menu were not available. On a positive note, the chimichurri sauce was definitely worth saving.

Food is always so good here! All the meats are full of flavor and well cooked. I love the atmosphere also. It’s like a hidden underground gem. Service is always great too.

Food was a little loud but not to bad. The food was great honestly. The portions were well sized . We ordered the Buenos Aires which feeds 2 to 3 people. It fed us both just fine

I shared one of the platters with a friend, as well as some empanadas. The prices were really reasonable. Highly recommend the margaritas! The steak was so, so good. And ask for extra chimichurri!

Finally tried Buenos Aires after procrasting forever. Our waitress was very nice and provided good service. No problems there. My beer and cocktail was great! The food itself was a bit more mixed. The fries were tasty, pulled flank steak sandwich was the highlight, and our friends enjoyed the burgers. Unfortunately, the milanese chicken sandwich was pretty bland, didn't care for the texture either. The provelata cheese appetizer was also sorely lacking flavor, sadly really quite bland. The chimichuri sauce again lacked flavor. The basic mixta salad with shrimp cost us 16$ and only had 5 pieces of shrimp, but the size of the salad was good, as was the dressing. Though it wasn't the best food, the service, cocktails and pulled flank steak I would be reasons I'd try again.
