Authenticity and simplicity ; these are two words to describe the emotions one feels when going to the Choripaneria. The chorpianes taste fresh, recently grilled and the juices seep right into the bread. Simply recipes that bring a lot of taste into every bite. Combine it with a. Glass of vermut for maximum effect.

My first time trying Argentinian food and it was delicious. The reason atmosphere has 4/5 is that the bathrooms didn't have locks.

Very good place to have dinner or to sit and have a coffee or beer and watch the people go by. I had the half meat dinner with salad. You get a lot of meat. All tasty. Bread on the side.

Just like I remember the food in Argentina. The Chorizo was excellent as was the steak.

This was an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. The service was a standout highlight, thanks to our incredibly friendly waitress who was attentive and professional throughout our meal. Her dedication was truly commendable; when we offered her a glass of wine, she politely declined to ensure she could remain focused on her work, a gesture that spoke volumes about her professionalism. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Our steaks were grilled to perfection, as were the fresh, flavorful vegetables. The true soul of the meal was the incredible homemade Chimichurri sauce, which elevated every bite. We were also blown away by the nachos, which were genuinely the best I have ever tried, and even the fries were perfectly crispy and delicious. To top it off, her wine recommendations were spot-on, pairing beautifully with our food. We cannot recommend this place enough for its amazing food and impeccable service.

The food here is amazing. I tried their choripanes, chori criollo and it was plate-licking good. The service is good and friendly.
