What People Are Saying About Industria Argentina

Featured Review

Kathleen Squires

Contributor

In Short – "Product of Argentina" is what the name proudly translates to, and duly so. Argentine-made furniture outfits the airy room and the Buenos Aires-bred chefs offer a distinctly South American menu, with more than the usual cow carnage. Along with four grass-fed cuts from the grill, options include smoked pumpkin risotto, baked monkfish and Patagonian rack of lamb. Other offerings include meat, corn or goat cheese empanadas and, of course, dulce de leche.

Choose a malbec from the exclusively Argentine wine list, or try Quilmes, Argentina's favorite beer.

Industria Argentina = Authentic Argentinean Food

by TReprise at Citysearch

Ate here for lunch today. I had the Traditional Lomito which is the sliced filet mignon on ciabatta with Chimichurri, tomato and onion. It came with fries and a green salad for 12 bucks. What a bargain!!! This sandwich has so much flavor packed inside...try it out and let me know what you think.

Amazing Argentinian Food!!!

by ravterps at Citysearch

I found this place 3 or 4 months ago and I've been back several times since. If you are with a small group I highly recommend the empanadas. For main course I am a really big fan of the Cordero Patagonico - patagonian-style rack of lamb. It's always cooked to perfection. Good people work here and the space is very nice and authentic. Can't wait to go back.

Overpriced - not worth it.

by lovalicious at Citysearch

Industria Argentina is very pricey for food and drinks that are not that great. The restaurant week menu was different that as advertised on their website - and the food was not worth the prices. The lentil soup with chorizo is tasty but a little over seasoned. The filet mignon milanesa just tastes like butter.

  • Pros: atmosphere & decor
  • Cons: food, service

Bad food, overpriced

by foodnycsbc at Citysearch

I thought it was just the watery butternut squash soup. But then the tuna came, then the steaks- all which were not just poorly done, they were bad cuts of meat. We had our Argentinian friend meet us for a drink who filled us in, obviously we had not gotten the memo that is is known as having awful food. Including a really bad interpretation of Argentine Dulce de Leche. The owner / manager could not have been nicer and accommodating, it's a real shame.. It was a big let down to pay such a high price for such low quality food. We are neighbors and will never return.

  • Pros: location
  • Cons: bad food, really bad food

Great Lunch / Ok Service

by minipouce13 at Citysearch

The lunch here is perfect if you are a college student with a budget. I have been here a few times mainly for lunch and fell in love with the Salmon served with Mango!!! Very tasty.

The decor very elegant, love the leather chairs super comfortable.

Service needs to be refined and the owners need not to be so pretentious, when guests are entering their restaurant.

  • Pros: Lunch Prices, decor
  • Cons: service
