🌟4/5 taste, but not worth it

nice restaurant on southbank promenade and is one of the less popular options.

we ordered the $95 5 course matador set menu and you honestly get a ridiculous amount of food. can’t imagine someone being able to consume this much. don’t order the $120 7 course set menu, the 5 course set menu already offers too much food.

the food quality is good. because we ordered the set menu we tried 9 dishes consisting of 2 entrees, 3 hors d’oeuvres, 2 salads, a main and a dessert. it’sgreatthat you get to try a lot of things, and it definitely felt like it was more than 5 courses.

we weren’t asked how we wanted our steak cooked, so they defaulted to medium which is a bit strange. they were happily willing to replace it with the steak cooked at medium rare.

the waiter also touched our salad as we clearly saw the salad dressing leave a mark on her finger. not ideal.

they offer unlimited refills of salsa and chimichurri. the salsa is pretty good.

i would also avoid coming on public holidays as there is a 15% public holiday surcharge.

overall, the place is quite pricy and offers you a lot of food in the set menu. all the dishes tasted nice but there may be some hygiene issues.

my rating of 4/5 is primarily based on the taste of the food.

ordered the cochinillo pork which was delicious and had this charcoal flavour with beautiful pork fat flavour, pulpo en mojo verde which was like a grilled octopus with a green sauce, also delicious, papas which were these fried potatos with this mustard dressing, probably best dish out of all of them, esparragos a la parrilla which was asparagus , broccolini with nice lemon and walnut flavour, beef empanada which was standard, provoleta which was this cheese with chilli and lemon, tasted like fried cheese but was delicious, pisco which tasted like vodka and lastly sangria which was refreshing. overall, service was excellent, asked about the pisco and gavegreatrecommendation, loved this place

nice service and atmosphere. empanadas wasgreatas well as the ceviche and cheese. the steak was a little tough, i couldn’t taste the aged part. i’m a huge sweet tooth but the desserts were too sweet, a bit heavy on the dulce de leche. big portions.

very similar menu with the other branch like san telmo and palermo.

we ordered the feed menu, very good spread. we ordered additional short ribs was amazing. artichokes were amazing as well,greatcombination with meat.

desserts were abit too sweet for me butgreatflavour.

overallgreatexperience. my only downside is because it is such a busy restaurant, they didn't give us our chimmicurri and salsa criolla.

we came here for our anniversary. service was impeccable and food was amazing. every dish was a winner.
we ordered:
- ox tongue pintxos - tender andgreatflavour
- beef empanada - filling was very flavourful and crust was just right
- pork empanada (special) - good as well but beef was better
- beef tartar - good marinade/sauce giving a nice tang
- half chicken - super tender and juicy
-beef shoulder - beautiful charry crust but the inside was soft and tender
-carrot salad -greatmix of flavours that my wife loved despite not really liking carrots!
- flan - very smooth and creamy. moorish dessert that finished off a wonderful dining experience

such an amazing atmosphere in there! love our experience here on fathers day. quick service andgreatrecommendations by the wait staff.

you have to get the steak and grilled chicken as it is to die for. no matter what, make sure you opt to share small tapas/meals as there is so much you have to try.

loved the empanadas and croquette starters. we chose the roast pork, lamb and chicken to share, as well as the cos lettuce salad and potatoes. it was agreatmeal! i tried the yellow capsicum ice cream out of curiosity, and was surprised by how much i loved it.

i visited asado with a colleague during a business trip. after our main waiter explained the menu and the time we had to expect for the mains, we ordered a few tapas, 2 small plates, 1 main and a side dish.
the first tapas were two tiny pieces of bread with blue cheese and jamon. the flavours were there but the portion size was pathetic.
this was following by the salted cod croquettes (which were okay but tasted a bit too oily) and a wonderful ox tongue: tender, juicy andgreataromas.
the small plates were the chorico which had a very nice and intense flavour and the morcilla which was lacking that flavour.
the main was the hanger steak which was wonderful: nice, thick, juicy,greataromas, and half rare accompanied by a slop of melted cheese in which most likely a bit of cabbage and bacon was hidden. sorry but the side dish was a huge disappointment.

all courses (tapas, small plates and main with side dish) had their highlights (tongue, chorico, hanger steak) but also their lows (blue cheese bread, morcilla, burnt cabbage), so all in all it was okay.
the service was nice: the main waiter was a bit too sales minded, the young lady who served the tapas and the small plates a bit to disengaged but the guy who brought the main was nice and attentive and finally fixed the wobbly table.

asado is agreatplace. we were greeted with a friendly smile. the restaurant has agreatvibe... cosy and dark. we ordered empanadas, tapas with a side of potatoes. the main was entrana which was melt in your mouth. overall agreatexperience... we would visit again

spanish tapas eatery that is same group from santelmo. they also do steak which was charred and grilled to medium rare.greatfood andgreatsangria. lovely service too.

had the most delicious meal here! all dishes were so packed full of flavour and cooked to perfection. the pork cooked over the fire pit was the juiciest, softest and tastiest pork i've ever had! also can't go past that house made chorizo sausage and beef tongue skewer, absolutely divine. perfect place for agreatdate night.

fantastic service and amazing food. the restaurant has a deep, dark vibe like others form this group, but is lighter and brighter with the addition of so many windows and view of people walking by the river.

must try the chorizo, potatoes and pisco sour. really really enjoyed the salas's as well, which were topped up for free many times.greatspot for a special occasion as is a bit above by usual casual fair

tried this restaurant for dinner. you choose a few tapas before your main and sides arrive. we chose the beef steak parilla for the main, roasted potatoes with sour cream and tomato sauce and carrots with aioli and pumpkin seed.
tapas were empanadas which is lamb shoulder pie, lengua which is beef toungu and croquet. it wasgreatoverall. i recommend the food and atmosphere and staff were attentive.
the restaurant would cost you around 100-150 bucks for two people. nice place .

delicious food and wonderful service. the skirt steak was the standout dish - tender and cooked to perfection. make sure you try the empanadas too - agreatway to start your meal. the pork was just ok, but overall a very good dining experience.
