💡 Tips before you go
- Order the chorizo de la casa to experience the authentic, spicy beef sausage central to Argentine asado culture.
- Ask for the chimichurri on the side if you prefer your grilled meats with less of the herbaceous garlic sauce.
- Save room for the dulce de leche flan, a creamy dessert that pairs perfectly with strong espresso.
