Food Quality
Pros:
"The steaks were amazing. Perfect portion though it seems small when it comes out."
"Got a bottle of Argentinian malbec with the cote de beouf, chips, corn on the cob, and prawns from the starter menu. Absolutely superb."
"Beautifully cooked fillet medium looked a bit rare but was perfect, baked potato and sides excellent."
"For our main I had the Bream and my partner had steak. Both were incredibly tender and flavoursome."
"The fillet steak (13oz) (medium rare) with creamy mushroom and peppercorn sauce was awesome! Highly recommend a visit to this great place."
"Their rib eye steak is so tasty. It was nicely cooked, juicy and soft."
"The Parrillada Mixta (Argentinian meat experience) medium rare... The steak was cooked to perfection and literally melt in the mouth."
"The food was incredible, we chose the sharer starter and it included the best lamb chop I've ever tasted."
Cons:
"Their portions are very generous. The steak came with little salad and a small bowl of chips. I was not impressed with their red vine."
"The reason of my low score is because this is not managed by Argentinians anymore! Not even Latin Americans or Spanish speakers."
"Service was good. Very good value for money. Food was average."
"Steak was good for the price. However, everything else is lacking. Garlic sauce is just kebab shop garlic mayo."
"When it comes to the amount, quality, and prices of the steaks, this restaurant is simply phenomenal."
"Steaks cooked to perfection and good quality cut of meat really friendly staff but the only downfall was the side's and the steak sauces were basic at best."
"Steaks were good, but not properly cooked to request. Pepper sauce was poor and bland."
"The most tasteless meat I have ever eaten. We asked for rare and we had well-done meat."

"Had such an amazing meal here whilst visiting friends in Edinburgh. The staff were very alert and courteous."
"Staff nice. I wanted to try it out as I live near. Toilet has no lock on door."
Cons:
"We were overall disappointed with our visit. The staff were pleasant and attentive which was pretty much where the positives ended."
"The empanadas were dry (most likely microwaved based on the speed of arrival and consistency of them)."
"Against better judgement, I decided to try this out based on the reviews here - awful decision."
"Shop closes by 10:30pm but rest room is shut before close of business, restroom shuts at about 10pm as per my experience."
"We were having dinner yesterday and there are some good things and not so good things in this restaurant."
"The whole place felt rundown and badly cared for, the state of the kitchen doesn’t bear thinking about. It was like a kebab shop had been converted."
"We were at the restaurant last night 2 tables of 4... The food was excellent, we are all steak eaters a few of us chose the combination, it was delicious."
"Rating: 3/10 Food: really disappointing, considering this place is rated as the 2nd best steak place in Edinburgh according to TripAdvisor."

Cons:
"We were overall disappointed with our visit. The staff were pleasant and attentive which was pretty much where the positives ended."
"The music was just a tad loud and we felt it kept the atmosphere from being romantic."
"The reason of my low score is because this is not managed by Argentinians anymore! Not even Latin Americans or Spanish speakers. So the environment is a bit wrong."
"The whole place felt rundown and badly cared for, the state of the kitchen doesn’t bear thinking about. It was like a kebab shop had been converted."
"Not really an Argentinian restaurant. None of the waiters are from Argentina, or even from a Spanish-speaking country."
"The restaurant was operating a ‘special’ rugby menu, which translates to ‘a condensed menu so we can turn over the maximum no. of tables as quickly as possible’."
"No rush to go back as there are so many more pleasant experiences to be had in Edinburgh."
"The main problem for us was that the restaurant was over capacity. There were far too many tables crammed into the space."
