Buenos Aires Café

I don't know how this isn't on the 30 best list in Austin, I would place it top 10 based on my small 4 day sampleling and a better experience than 3 of the places that were on that list. This place wowed me the most. Everything was delicious, and I do mean everything. I had the empanadas and the chorizo for appetizers. A simple steak for the main course, Alfajores, for desert. The sandwich, which was made with the loin, it was crazy good, and I really wish I had it instead of the steak. The star of the dessert was the lemon meringue mini pie. The kurd it was sour and delicious, but both desserts were good in their own way. The Alfajores was sandy like a moon pie but rich with Carmel like center. I requested a drip coffee to finish it with my lunch and was satisfied. Definitely would be a regular rotation if I lived here.

The food was very good, we had olives, bread service to start. It was just enough to start because we focus on our main course. The pollo al horn was delicious, especially the creaminess in the polenta. The wilted spinach was cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Portions were spot on. My partner had the beef tenderloin, it was cooked perfectly medium rare but he preferred the taste of my polenta to his carrots. Though the food was good and well priced, the loud room detracted from the experience. It’s a small dining room with small tables, so sitting side by-side is impossible (but that’s fair). The music was loud, and this made other parties around us amp up their conversations. We struggled to hear each other from across our table because we could hear every detail of everyone else’s conversation on either side of us and behind us. That’s the only reason why it will be a long time before we return.

Food is delicious, excellent service. I definitely recommend the Quatro Leches desert. It is so, so delicious and rich, perfec doses of sweet. Prices are a little expensive, in my opinion.

Phenomenal food! Our new favorite Austin restaurant! It’s one of the few classic hidden gems in Austin that hasn’t completely been overrun and overhyped. It’s delicious and understated. We will be coming back as soon as possible.

Aside from the snobby hostes, this place was a good find for Argentinian empanadas. Apparently, you need a reservation to eat here because that is the first we were asked. They sat us regardless probably due to the restaurant being pretty empty. We looked at the menu and they had a good verity of dishes and since we were there for the empanadas that's what we ordered. Empanadas were 6.50 which is a good price. The flan was also very delicious. I would recommend for arengentinian empanadas.

Food was very nice. We had lunch and the empanadas and Shepherds pie were absolutely delicious. The steak was too well done but still very tender and juicy. Their Chimichurri is amazing and I love that they don’t use cilantro. Definitely try the cocktails, iced Matte and leave some room for their incredible crème brûlée. Service was very friendly and attentive.

This is hands down one of the best food spots I’ve been to in Austin. We had a server named John and he really made it an experience for my family and I to remember. Their food is unique, fresh, and authentic. Highly recommend!

After a long work day on a business trip in Austin, I wanted a nice meal. I sought out this quaint Argentinian restaurant, and had a great experience. I had the milanase plato with side salad and mashed potatoes, along with a cold quilmes beer. It was a simple meal, but so delicious- made better by the cozy atmosphere of the café. I was appreciative of them serving me somewhat late at night, and providing such warm and welcoming customer service. Really enjoyed talking with my server, Alex, and the owner Reina- loved hearing about how she made her restaurant dreams by honing her skills, and staying true to her vision. There was a lot of love put into this meal, and the alfajore cookie/dessert was a delicious was way to cap it off. Thank you! I hope to return again someday with my family.
