Sonia PatriceAugust 4, 2013The food here is friggin' amazing. Its rare you find a restaurant where everything from the appetizers to the main course to the sangria to the dessert is on point. Definitely coming back!
Johnnie SkywalkingMay 21, 2018All the condiments adds another flavor to this amazing steak to entertain the dinner through the night but simply with salt is still the best and you can tell how tasty the meat is.
AlekseyMay 9, 2017Great steaks, Argentinian food and Yerba mate. Also they have a good Latin American wines and drinks, and overall great for dates. The ambience is very Brooklyn-ish!
Shahrzad ShamsNovember 25, 2018Try their marinated olives as a side dish with Octopus and potato salad from their appetizer list and fish tacos (grilled). Cool vibe, very chill spot for singles and couples.
Stephanie CesearJune 7, 2017By far the best short ribs I've ever had! Cocktails were also good. Great spot to take family, celebrate with friends or have a date night. Atmosphere was cozy and candle lit, and yet still lively.
Serra CSeptember 7, 2019We were so happy when we left. We have tried so many things. You should try Empanadas, pulpo y rusa, tacos de castilla, molleja and finally churros
Anthony JonesAugust 7, 2018Came for brunch on a Sunday and was so happy we did. Atmosphere is great, service was very helpful with the questions we had. The steak and truffle fries exceeded my expectations!
Monday LisaJune 10, 2018Skirt steak is a must order (is there an echo in here)? Also the artichokes that came with the salmon were scrumptious and lemony
- Like A LocalFebruary 27, 2015so quaint. so chic. and the fact that it's argentine and run by argentines doesn't hurt. Rosarito Fish Shack and Shelter Pizza are all in the same family. reasonably priced and delicious.
Mike McBryanApril 15, 2017Hiding in plain sight right next door to Criff Dogs. Skirt steak, empanadas (ham and cheese) plus only south american wines. Excellent back patio situation.
If you like juicy steak, no hesitations simply go for their Churrasco piece, one of the best meat I have had in New York. Their Syrah is good choice to accompany your steak.
Malin ForsangApril 20, 2019The Skirt steak was amazing! Among the best meat I’ve ever eaten. Service was also great. We had ceviche as an appetizer and that was also delicious.- Joe DMarch 14, 2015Get the churrasco. Now two options: get your own and split an appetizer; Or go splitties on one churrasco and sample a few apps (pulpo is dynamite)
BravoNovember 22, 2010Next time you're craving a big hunk of cow, snag a table in the garden and order their parrillada. Bring a friend or two to help you finish it all and wash it down with a bottle of Malbec. -Jacqueline
Leah M.January 27, 2013Love truffle oil, but could barely get the ceviche down - drowning in it! Huge short rib portion. Saltiness of sauce needs a forkful of the sweet mashed potatoes to temper it - and it's awesome
Phil TorontoAugust 24, 2014Add the avocado fries to your order. They're interesting (good interesting) and the yerba matte ketchup is really tasty
n gFebruary 2, 2014Charming nook with impressive wines and steaks. We ordered the skirt steak because first choice was out but it was an incredible "disappointment"! You'll want to return after your first bite!
Vanessa RuedaSeptember 18, 2016impeccable service, nice ambiance, excellent food. Get those rabas now if you like sweet plantains! fish tacos are good also. Everything was perfect.
Luca GalassoNovember 16, 2013Just go for meat! Is soooo good! Guacole, Fries and Paella are also great! But u MUST chose meat! Take also a bottle of wine, u'll feel in the heaven.
LukeApril 8, 2017Avocado fries and steaks are no brainers. They also have a lot of fun using mate as an ingredient in cocktails and sauces
Stella PJuly 10, 2013Absolutely Amazing steak...had the ribeye (fattest thickest juiciest softest piece ever and the skirt done juuuuuust right that it melted on the tongue). Definitely recommend!
DanielJune 28, 2017Great Argentinian restaurant in the heart of Williamsburg. Highly recommend the steak!
Thomas MillerMay 27, 2018This place has some of the best meat in NYC, and the sauces to go with it! Also the staff is so accommodating, love this spot!
The Parillada is the winning dish for two people. With an extra order of Mollejas and some corn.
sofie geoMay 25, 2018Perfect ribeye and the variety of selected steaks+sausages. Try the grilled vegetables as well. Nice vintage atmosphere.
Juanda ZapataNovember 11, 2013All the waiters speak spanish. The service is very good and the food is AMAZING. One of the best experiences that you'll ever have in NYC.
StayNYC RentalsOctober 17, 2018You just want some steak that isn’t crazy-expensive along with some tacos and avocado fries - and you can get all of that at El Almacén.
Cecile CampanJune 3, 2017Cucumber cocktail in the backyard for a perfect time. The meat was amazing. Service very nice . Definitely recommend the place
Ms HeleneDecember 7, 2015Fish tacos, hearts of palm salad and Guac with warm chips. Skip ceviche & patchy service. Cozy tables out back
Paloma OrtizDecember 9, 2014The guacamole is insanely good, and so is the stuffed pepper! Not a lot of veggie options, but the ones they had were great!
Jen BergFebruary 22, 2015Octopus to start and skirt steak med rare. Split truffle fries and bottle of Malbec with a lover or friend.
Lexi SteigelmanOctober 11, 2017Share the Parrillada over a bottle of wine. Morcilla and mollejas (blood sausage and sweetbreads) are on point.
Village VoiceFebruary 8, 2011Try the avocado fries- When fried, they get admirably crisp on the outside, and imperially creamy in the interior. They're served with yerba mate ketchup which Sietsema says you don't even need
Ranu RajkarnikarNovember 6, 2014Romantic cozy atmosphere and delicious food. Great for a date. Skirt steak, paella and calamari. Say yes.
Najlaa MjFebruary 15, 2015The Order came sunny side for the egg and the the steak was medium. I return the order twice to fix it in the end i called the manager and he Handel it well and gave complaintary deserts.
Get the fish tacos, fries (avocado or truffle), and paella to share! Perfect for 2.
Christianna GiordanoMarch 16, 2013This place is tucked away a bit, but service and food were both fantastic. Lovely for brunch.
Corey ManiconeMay 28, 2018Great cocktails and food. Make sure you try the empanadas & the ceviche. Both killer.
Sandor GAugust 26, 2015I had chicken enchiladas. Standard dish, they did it well. However, they didn't have any wine left. Everything under 70 bucks was sold out and they had no house wine. Service curt. Atmos amazing.
Jonathan L.January 6, 2019Great date spot. Expect to pay $100 for 2. Good tasting skirt steak and moist, flavorful paella.
Christian AyalaMarch 16, 2013Avocado fries were interesting in a good way, the hamachi ceviche with truffle oil was delightful , and the meat was plentiful and served just as ordered.
İpek A.January 13, 2015Delicious hot chocolate & churros! Need to go there for breakfast as well. But the staff is really horrible. Every 3 mins they disturb you or directly brings you the check. Annoying.
Debbie DaviesAugust 17, 2014Hamachi ceviche, shishito peppers, empanadas, red wine. I actually order in from here often. But the ambiance is lovely.
ISMarch 20, 2016Amazing everything! Drinks and great food. The waiter is awesome. I would come back again.
Randall SullivanAugust 15, 2013Empanadas are killer! Spinach and corn is shockingly good and the ham and cheese is better than you could hope for!
Maya Jimenez 😬June 28, 2015Best steak in New York! Lots of fun cocktails. Also a good spot for brunch.
Amanda RayeNovember 6, 2014Cheap-ish brunch. Expensive dinner. Both are great! Get the churros for dessert if you have room.
