"Food of the Buenos Aires locals displaced to Sydney, this Argentinean grill is hearty and super authentic. Vegetarians need not apply if they don't want to be surrounded by char-grilled, melt-in-your-mouth, 12-hour roasted delicious meat. The vibe is a throwback to a the kind of South America that only the locals talk of - the seating area housed in an indoor courtyard of tiled floors, cowhide furniture and pictures of Eva Peron. Book if you have a big group or turn up and hope for the best." - For the People
"The Argentine restaurant that tookSydneyby storm in 2010—and even rose from the ashes of a fire that originated in its charcoal grill—finally outgrew its Cleveland Street Surry Hills digs and reopened on Holt Street in late 2016. The old parilla and asado fire pits were transplanted to the new location, this time positioned behind the counter of the open kitchen, and the rockabilly vibe lives on, albeit in a bright, plant-filled, parquet-floored space decorated with vintage sports and movie posters. Old menu favorites like the grilled Wagyu skirt steak and deep-friedBrusselssprouts can now be paired with a seafood cocktail, or wood-fired pumpkin tamales smothered in mole. End with the flan or melon ice cream served in the rind."
