Buenos Aires in the East Village is a miracle. You do not need to travel for have an authentic argentinean steak. Just go to 6th Street between A and B in NYC. The decor is really very argentinean style, the food and the wines as well.
The best steak y had in NYC was the shell steak i had in Buenos Aires. The empanadas are delicious. Do not forget to try argentinean Malbec The best !!!!!
Great food, great service and great price!!!!!!

Pros: Exellent Food, Price, Service

I had been in Buenos Aires with some of my french friends this week. We enjoyed a wonderfull dinner at Buenos Aires. The filet mignon was incredible and the Pollo al Champignon as well. The caramel crepes and flan were supreme. I recomend Diablo del Uco Merlot wine
We will be back at this Fantastic argentinean restaurant.

Go to Buenos Aires and Bon apetit.......

Pros: Food, Wines, Inexpensive

I lived in Buenos Aires Argentina for 10 years. Now i found an authentic argentinean food in New York City.

I recomend the ribe eye, just delicious and the caramel panqueque is to die. The argentinean wines exellent.
The service was veryt friendly and profesional.
No cuestion about. Try this place is just Wonderfull and you do not have to pay anymore an overprice steak in NYC.
Buenos Aires is an authentic argentinean restaurant style and the prices are so inexopensive as in Buenos Aires Argentina

Pros: Food, Inexpensive, Friendly Service

I have become addicted to this place.The food is just like the NEW YORK POST describes it "to die for!",for me this is it.The place is always full even though they know me the owner sticks to the credo first come first serve on weekends.To those who wrote bad reviews its quite obviously the competition.The ground rules in America is "FREE MARKET'.And Karina (OWNER)sticks to her ethics.I have been in Argentina many times because of my work and this is better than Cabana Las Lilas.I dont think that Donatella Versace or J.J. Campanella who are frequent patrons go to Pampa or La Portena.But ill let you decide!

I found this restaurant on Citysearch. I took my boyfriend since he loves to have a great "meat" dinner. I don't eat red meat but I found a tremendous amount of options for me as well. The salads are AMAZING-light, lemony dressing. I had the grilled calamari over argula. YUM. We had the Mozzarella, Caprese empanadas-wonderful. For my entree, I had the grilled salmon which was cooked perfectly. My b-friend had the shell steak which he loved and a chicken soup which was great as well. The wine was wonderful. we had a chardonnay from Argentina that was awesome. BUT lastly, we had the truffled chocolate ice cream dessert. WOW amazing! If you are looking for a unique dining experience in a relaxes atmosphere, Buenos Aires is the place for you!

Pros: clean, new , reasonable

Buenos Aires was wonderful, the food was great I had the Entrana with home made frenchfries and a beef empanada as an appitizer. Even though we had to wait 30 mins for a table it was worth the wait. We had no problems with the host he suggested we go to the Kion Lounge

If only the check would come prematurely like my entree I could have get out and be soothed by the peaceful sounds of the fire engine blaring down Ave A. This place is too loud. My ears are still ringing.
Service is not better. The waiter had an unpleasant attitude. When I asked about the ingredientes of the chicken soup I was told "it's just chicken soup". While we were still having our appetizers, our entrees were brought in. Tables are tiny. If the waiting staff could be bothered to clear away non-essential items there would be room for the food.
The food? What I tried (morcilla and entrana) was quite good and the chimichurri is well balanced. However, good Argentine food can be found in quieter places with more professional service like Pampa and La Portena. Overall, not recommended.

Pros: Food

Cons: Loud noise, Service, Tiny tables

East 6th Street is no longer just Indian; it is now a trendy street stretching further east with a number of interesting new restaurants. The food here was great and the prices are very reasonable. The service is not great, but very friendly. They forgot part of our order, but apologized and we were not upset. As with all Argentine restaurants, don't go if you don't like red meat.

Pros: meat, price, Friendly service

Cons: Inexperienced service

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!

I went in skeptical, came out a believer. Yes! There is such a thing as a 14 dollar steak!!!! And the best steak in town, too! Try the empanada. Yesterday, that was a boring pie for me, today empanada=slice of heaven. I want to go back to go down the entire list. The entrana was something I didn't think possible.

AMAZING!!!!!

The Reds from Mendoza, Argentina are very good and a great value. Especially the the bodegos in the higher altitudes of The Ucco Valley (about 3,000 feet). We tried Diablo de Uco, Salentein, and Majol - all had a nice forward fruit taste and full bodied balance of tannins and acid. The Malbec is especially good from here, but the Cab and Merlot are quality too and very drinkable.

Pros: Quality Wine, Good Price, Authentic

Cons: location

I went today with some of my friend to Buenos Aires and we loved the food, the place and the price. The service was so good and the owner was so friendly and nice to us.
You can have a great meal for a inexpensive price. I recomed the skirt steak with criolla salad and authentic argentinian Malbec wine .
If you are a meat lover should go to Buenos Aires in the East Village.

Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food, Great Service

I've been going to Argentina Restaurants for the past 3 years. I loved this restaurant. It is inexpensive and delicous. I've already been three times...the mashed potatoes and french fries are super fresh. The rib eye is excellent. Also I loved the Malbec on their menu. Just when you think these kinds of places can't exist in New York, one opens up.

An amazing combination of a great food (not just the beef), great wines and affordable prices. How do they do it? These guys know how to grill meat. No need to spend $25 for a steak anymore; here you can get it for $14, and better quality. They have a large selection of Argentine wines all below $30. Try the "colita de cuadril", you can't get it anywhere else in New York. And don't get me started with the "panqueque con dulce de leche".

Pros: quality food, inexpensive, great wines

Cons: gets crowded on sat.

My boyfriend and I had diner there the other night and it was amazing. The atmosphere was delightful. The food was delicious. We had the skirt steak and it was like slicing butter. We really enjoyed it. We are definitely going back again and taking our family and friends with us. The desert was heavenly. We had the crapes stuffed with caramel and drizzled with powered sugar and cinnamon. He loved the fact they had the beer from Argentina, Quilmes, and what made it even better is that they were ice cold. The best part about the evening was the wait staff was on top of things. As soon as our drinks were low they were right their to bring us another one.

Pros: Romantic, Charming, Inexpensive

I went last night with my friends and i really love this place.
I've been looking for an authentic argentinian cuisine and I found it.
The "bife de chorizo", the empanadas, are really great, so tasty. And the prices are very good. And if you love good wine do not wait and enjoy this beautiful restaurant in the east village in NYC.

Pros: Inexpensive, Great service, Exellent food

thank god i dont have to go into queens anymore for argentinian meat.the milanesa is like being in paradise.my girlfriend had the shell steak and she told me she didnt need a knife it was so tender.the bread pudding is amazing!i believe this is the only authentic argentinian food in the city.i forgot to mention the wine which is much better than any french wine i ever tasted and a whole lot less inexpensive.i had the Don Valentin but you have a long list to choose from.and the service is excellent.

Pros: family friendly, great atmosphere

This new restaurant really knows how to cater to meat lovers. A varied menu that includes everything from the basic meat cuts to fancy Argentinean steaks to fresh pasta. I would recommend starting a combination platter for two which includes an assortment of kidney/blood sausage/sweet bread. Then move on to the real meat. The side dishes are excellent, especially the Provencal French Fries. For desert do not miss the dulce de leche pancakes and follow it with an espresso. Ah! The finer things in life, good food at a price that will not burn a hole in your pocket. I can't wait for the summer and sit in their garden.
