Buenos Aires brings the traditional Argentinean steakhouse to the heart of the East Village. With fresh mozzarella flown in weekly from Italy, and serving only grass-fed, free-range beef, you are guaranteed a meal to remember. From the time you walk in this NYC gem, you will feel the warm, authentic Argentinean atmosphere, as Argentinean tunes and international sounds add to the classic Buenos Aires vibe. As Time Out New York states, "A carnivore's playground, where meats may come with a side of meat," you are in for a protein-packed treat at this Argentine hot-spot. Their decadent,…

The Scene – Picture windows and a sidewalk awning blend this bistro into its picturesque, tree-lined stretch of Sixth Street. The simply set space--with dark woods and old photographs of the namesake city, and frosted ceiling lamps to cast a soft glow--is enlivened by the chatter of its neighborhood clientele. – – The Food – Expect a meat-heavy menu, of course, but one that you'll have to navigate for kinks. To start, a hit-or-miss (though generous) sampling of blood sausage, sweetbreads, kidney and chorizo is trumped by pastry-like empanadas that flake away to sweet…

LOVE IT!
by Anne A
The food is soooo good, especially the steak. The waiters are also very helpful. The place itself is rather small, and the people around seem to have a great time. Depending on your mood, you might not be a fan b/c it does get somewhat noisy, but it didn't bother me!
- Pros: The food is amazing!
- Cons: A little noisy, but still is a great place!

Use to be a great place
by jtormo
I have been going to eat at Buenos Aires since they opened up about 3 years ago. I was familiar with there staff and always attended too in the best possible way. But I have to say in the last year service has become horrible. The waiters are not nice at all especially the head waiter. The amount of wine served in a glass is so little that you have to order two glasses to make up for one glass. The steaks use to be excellent, cooked to perfection and lately... I don't know if the cook changed but the steaks haven't been so great. Also, the Flan use to be excellent now it just taste like raw egg. This restaurant use to be one of my favorites but due to the terrible service, snotty waiter, and the last several times the food not being great I have to say I will not be going back. It's a shame because I really enjoyed this place.

AWESOME STEAKS, 100% AUTHENTIC!
by Charlie09
This place is always packed, because its GREAT, but with that said, they bend over backwards to get u in the door, and once there u feel special. The staff make u feel at home and welcome. There is NOTHING pretentious about this place, even though for my money it serves the best steak in NYC. Not only is it delicious but its organic, grass fed beef from Cow heaven Uruguay, a country which was ranked as the 3rd cleanest on earth in 2006. Ive been here 15 times and each time is just as good as the last, they are consistent, and focus on quality. Ive eaten in many steakhouses including Peter luger, Smith Wollensky, Gallaghers...I can tell u without a doubt Buenos Aires is a MUCH better value, better food, better atmosphere...simply superior!!
The owner along with his wife are there and oversee a very efficient and professional operation, as well as taking a sincere interest in their clients; as witnessed by the fact that 1/2 the clients treat them as family with all the smiles and hugs that are exchanged.
I highly recommend it and soon plan on going back for my 16th time. Forget the other steakhouses, Save yourself some money and a bad digestion, come to Buenos Aires u will be very happy u did...BA is where its AT!
PS- Try the Tannat Don Diva it is AMAZING with beef,
I cant recommend 1 dish without recommending everything because everything is excellent, but I would suggest saving a bit of room for any of the delicious desserts served with Dulce de leche. Most americans have eaten a steak before but few have had dulce de leche.
- Pros: Everything, wine, beef, empanadas, potato salad, chimichuri
- Cons: NONE

As Time Out New York states, "A carnivore's playground, where meats may come with a side of meat," you are in for a protein-packed treat at this Argentine hot-spot. Their decadent, garlicky, chimichurri sauce is over the top and blends exquisitely with carnivorous offerings like the seared churrasco (skirt steak), lemony grilled chicken, empanadas, and chorizo sausage. Be sure to make reservations, especially on the weekends, because Buenos Aires is a meat-lovers paradise!
