Somebody needs to talk to owner... It's all wrong. Pasta was under cooked. They did not bring us all of our order or explain why they did not.

My family is from Ponce, PR, so when I brought 3 of my friends to PR with me, I wanted them to eat some good Argentinian food and have a good night with some sangria. Boy, was I wrong! The sangria was $30 and tasted like FRUIT PUNCH, they have NO plantains bc they "ran out" (so no tostones or... More

I reviewed this restaurant back in December and thought it was very good. However, I can no longer recommend it in good conscience after having been there several times recently and been severely disappointed. The service is terrible; the staff move at the speed of geologic time. This last and final time, there were 2 other tables besides ours and... More

In January, my parents, their friends who came down from New Mexico, and I, decided to revisit this restaurant in Ponce as we were giving my parents' friends a tour around the south part of the island. The menu, as usual, displayed a wide variety of foods, but when we asked for certain appetizers, the waitress would write our orders... More

Food is good with usual quality of meat in an argentinian joint. They close later than other estaurants wich is convenient for night owls. There is a nice patio to have dinner outside, sometimes with live music.

This is a typical Argentinian steakhouse. Steaks are as promised and cooked perfectly. You can dine indoors or out. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I questioned where to find a liquor store and the hostess found me a ride to take me there and back to my hotel!

This place is one of the only two open all week. We had our anniversary dinner here and the food was truely delish. The service was so lovely too - it elevated our evening into something even more special. The wine they chose for us was wonderful, and this place was one of our standout meals in puerto rico!

Many restaurants are closed during the week so there are not a lot of choices downtown. Its pleasant to sit outside. The food was OK.

To be very honest, we would return if the management contacts us and assures us that the chef is gone! Seriously. The skirt-steak or "churrasco" which is a main dish served "a la parrilla" was not trimmed properly or marinaded at all with the white wine. The value for the meal was below standards. The atmosphere was good with a... More
