Joanne Lee
Joanne Lee: Great dining experience! Ordered the beef empanada and 3 mushroom over fried polenta for appetizers. The bread and butter were superb. My entree of beef in malbec reduction with potato gratin was delicious! Finished off with flan and decaf coffee. We went back for a second time during our short trip. Thank you for letting us in despite full house. We sat at the bar for dinner, desserts and drinks. The bar tenders were AWESOME. Thank you again for a great time.
Wendy Schweikert
Wendy Schweikert: Warm ambience, interesting decor, extensive menu and wine selection. Excellent service. We had reservations for lunch and everything met our high expectations. Our group shared mussels, empanadas, ensalada primavera, sopa pumpkin, Lomita en Bernese sauce, blood sausage. Chocolate mousse with walnuts for dessert. Be certain to request whipped cream with the mousse. All delicious! Highly recommend.
Efi Karra
Efi Karra: I visited this restaurant twice and the food was amazing both times. The decor and atmosphere is great. The service was excellent. I will absolutely come back to this restaurant when I visit CR again!
Steven
Steven: Believe the hype and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise Everything here is curated and executed with an immense accuracy The tenderloin steak was a perfect medium and juicy beyond my wildest dreams; potatoes seasoned beautifully Mozzarella empanadas; spinach croquettes, and polenta were appetizers and were all executed beautifully ..empanadas were light fluffy and crispy, croquettes were soft and flavorful while maintaining a crispy exterior We finished with flan, which had lovely dollops of caramel and was fragrant My hat goes off to the chef who brought Argentinian and Costa Rican palettes together at this beautiful spot, highly recommend The waiter was extra amazing and cut and plated everything in half so my wife and I could share everything, thank you <3
Francisco Javier Urra
Francisco Javier Urra: This is probably the best restaurant in Costa Rica. Everything is perfect. Food is amazing. Atmosphere is unbeatable. Service is top notch , with professional waiters that do their work flawless and rapidly, without any exaggeration (old style great waiters). Quality of the products are top. Decoration is like truly being in an old Buenos Aires restaurant. Wine list is amazing. And final bonus, it is located in a true building: that may sound awkward , so let me explain. Most restaurants in Costa Rica are located in shopping plazas, overseeing parking lots. Being myself European, that kills the experience a lot. La Esquina de Buenos Aires is not the case, you walk in , and it’s in an urban environment. So may say downtown San Jose is not the most appealing environment, but for me, not feeling in a US-style shopping “plaza” , it makes definitely a difference.
Mehreen Chaudry

Tania DeMelo
Tania DeMelo: The environment is nice and the service was good. We shared a dish which was certainly not enough for two of us; the portions were small. I ordered a stake and the meat was juicy and delicious. Prices were okay for a "la cart" restaurant. We look forward to eating there again.

Gabriel Flores
Gabriel Flores: This restaurant was fantastic. The service was great and friendly. The atmosphere was definitely several steps above anything nearby. My steak was delicious, and the rest of the food we ate was prepared very well. And all of this at a very reasonable price. Plan to go back soon!
Kristin Flores
Kristin Flores: Great steakhouse! Service was amazing. Loved the ambiance and setup. We started with the grilled potatoes which were basically waffle fries. Nothing extraordinary about them but dipped in the basil garlic sauce, that were tasty. I had a New York strip that was cooked medium and it was delicious. Baked potato and salad for sides worked well. For dessert I had a Nutella crepe and ice cream and that was delicious as well! I’m looking forward to returning and trying more items from the menu!
Jason Goldsberry
Jason Goldsberry: Absolutely top-tier in every way. Two steaks, two soft drinks, desert, tax & tip for just above $50 USD. Will be back.

Ceri Williams
Ceri Williams: What an absolute gem of a place. Food outstanding we had mixed grill, flan and a bottle of house Malbec. Food was amazing, the atmosphere was both cozy and cool. The service was personable and informative. Considering our Spanish is very poor we were made to feel so welcome. Pity we are leaving as we would definitely go back. Not too be missed
Laura Brazan
Laura Brazan: We thoroughly enjoyed this Argentinian restaurant for lunch while we were in San Jose. Excellent service. A variety of fresh fish and excellent cuts of meat. The specials are delicious. The atmosphere was very relaxed and enjoyable in a fine dining type atmosphere. Nice drink and wine menu as well. Thoroughly recommend.
Tania DeMelo
Tania DeMelo: The restaurant has a nice vibe, well decorated and the food is good. The portions were okay, prompt service and prices were fair. Even though I had requested a super well-done steak, I ended up getting a not-so-well done steak which kinda turned me off. Other than that, I would go back there.
Paulo Costa
Paulo Costa: Nice Argentinean inspired place. Good service and food but its a pitty its not open for dinner.
Milan Hoffmann
Milan Hoffmann: The pizza was tiny and greasy and in comparison to the price not worth it.nice location though.
Samay Alvarez
Samay Alvarez: Place is very cozy and clean. Service was great and so was their food. We ordered Trout with a coffee dressing that sounded weird but it was actually delicious. Another guest order Vasio and this was better that the churrasco. Drinks where very good as well. Our waiter gave
Jorge Antillon
Jorge Antillon: Five star rating that never was. Aquí es is a cosie little corner where I had one glass of wine, quick and easy, yet however I feel they need to work on having real napkins, serving some bread when wine is ordered, details that set apart a mediocre lunch from a fine dining experience, I will not deny the smell was great, however I did not dare.

Kimberly Beck
Kimberly Beck: An eclectic Argentinian grill with imported and local cuts of meat. Seafood, pasta, salads, appetizers, desserts also available. Exceptional bottled wine choices and decent by-the-glass options as well. Bi-lingual staff, good service. Table staff are very attentive. Upscale clientele. Decent price for what you get. Off-street guarded parking. My friend and I both had local lomito with baked potato and salad. I took enough home for the next day. Big portions. Bread basket served first in case you come in really hungry.
Response: Thanks Kimberly for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.
Vinicius Damaceno
Vinicius Damaceno: With the 50% off promotion that BAC runs every now and then this place deserves 99 stars! We got a Burrata as an entrance, followed by a Tomahawk with grilled veggies and a house potato with a bottle of red for $70 bucks!!!! On top, their attention was exceptional was well. Will surely come back!

Response: Thanks Bruno for your comment. We are very grateful and honored by your visit.
Nat Real
Nat Real: The Best grilled flavorful and tender octopus I have ever had. The Flan was the best too with smooth creamy carnal on the side. Cool interior decorating too.
Steve
Steve: Sushi and deserts were excellent. Party of 6 on a Monday night, but service was slow. We asked for the check twice before getting it. We plan to go again, but will lower our service expectations. There is a lot of DoorDash activity, so I recommend setting away from the door.
Response: We believe that your opinion is not about our restaurant, we do not have sushi, we are a steakhouse.
Jason Goldsberry
Jason Goldsberry: A bit of a frustrating experience, honestly. The service is poor for this class of restaurant. Dónde Carlos across town is light years ahead in terms of service. The food was outstanding, everything made to perfect. Steaks were cooked perfectly and were tender. The potatoes and beans were spot-on. Two plates and drinks came just short of $79 — the food quality does support the price. However, the service and the details you expect from a higher end restaurant don’t. Simple stuff like the men’s bathroom being out of soap shouldn’t happen. Will most likely go again, but it won’t be frequently.
Hershy Silver
Hershy Silver: Everything was Nice. But it was not like a fine dining place in the US. It was also expensive. Costing more than $100 for two people. That being said, I would go back. I also recommend this place if you want good quality food and a nice environment.Food: 4/5 | Service: 4/5 | Atmosphere: 4/5 …More

I had the 200g angus steak, cooked well and had the grilled vegetables. Steak was the best I e found here in Costa Rica middle was still chewy, but over all I was happy with the cut. Vegetables were smoking grilled and very nice. Bread and great butter prior to dinner.

Unfortunately it was raining really hard so we didn’t get dressed up but we did go to El Novillo Alegre Escazú. The staff at El Novillo Alegre Escazú was very nice and I had grilled shrimp, mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. It was amazing. We ordered shots to celebrate such an amazing time in Costa Rica and our waiter gave us a second shot on the house. We had a great time and everyone enjoyed their food.

Clay Neddo
Clay Neddo: Great steakhouse. Nice atmosphere. Wood and leather without being preten Staff were efficient and friendly. The steak was delicious, although a little on the rare side of medium rare (what i ordered). Sides were ok. Starters were fantastic. We had the chorizo and the fried provolone dish. I cannot remember the name of it, but it was spectacular. Price was reasonable. Overall great experience. I will return.

Dr. Sheel Tangri
Dr. Sheel Tangri: Overrated. I asked for my steak medium well and it came totally pink inside. The green peppercorn sauce was lame . The sangria was good. The carpaccio was unimaginative as was the Caesar salad. It took 15 minutes to receive the bill and there were only two tables occupied.
Response: Thank you very much for your comment, the medium term is characterized precisely by having its sides cooked and the center pink, and with an internal temperature that fluctuates around 55°C. / Thank you very much for your comment, the medium term is characterized precisely by having its sides cooked and the center pink, and with an internal temperature that oscillates around 55°C.
Victor C
Victor C: Very good, excellent atmosphere, service and wine, everything was spot on except the meat cooking level, I asked for medium rare it was very rare, but the quality of the meat was amazing, eat it with a smile. 4 stars since precise meat cooking temperature should be something they can control on every single cut, no problemo...

Nashty Man
Nashty Man: Quality gone down. Price gone up. No longer fresh. I met the owner Christian before he opened the store years ago when he was selling on the street corner of Perri Mercado and continued to be a patron for a long time. In the last couple years the changes made has effected the quality. What a shame. The basil in the Casprese photo is not as bright green as when they made them fresh. Signs of pre made and posibly frozen . Has an off flavor. Typical of struggling business trying to survive. Instead of concentrating on quality n raising price accordingly it appears they are cutting corners. More signs of comercialization. Sad, sad , sad. I would rather pay as much as 1500 to 2000 colones for a well served empanada than settle for a mediocre one. I really hope they improve the quality.
V B
V B: Excellent empanadas, fresh and multiple different stuffings. But the prices are a little steep for what they are... But easy adn quick for a lunch or a snack break.

Gabriel Cabezas
Gabriel Cabezas: Delicious, practical and fast! The one I liked the most is the meat with raisins and eggs, the classic one. Also mixed meat. They each go to CRC1300 and it is already such lists, fresh and hot. Excellent to carry. In fact there is no place to sit, just to withdraw. Recommending

Real Reviews
Real Reviews: I have read reviews on how this place is "expensive" or "pricey" Clearly you people have never been to the United States. A meal that I had today, NY Steak (7oz) Rice, Cesar salad and bread was $26! In California, you are looking at $50 to $70 and thats not including your 20% tip to add. The steak was good, a little bit undercooked from what I asked for. White rice was good, the Cesar Salad was amazing! The bread, along with the 3 choices of butter, olive oil and bruschetta to dip the bread into was really good! The service was excellent!

Pablo Garcia: The service was okay, not what you would expect for the price you are paying. The food was again okay which is way below what you expect for the price. There are better places for half the price
Response: Thank you very much for your comment, it will be escalated immediately to management.

Alejandro Bermudez: If you are looking for a reliable meat experience and Argentinean and American steak experience in Costa Rica this is your place. They tend to over cook the meat so make sure you insist in medium rare
Response: Alejandro, thank you very much for your comment

Cait Clapham: We had a fabulous experience at this establishment. We sat outside and we were taken care of promptly. The drinks were delicious. The staff was very kind and helpful. We all had steaks, they were all cooked perfectly. Grilled veggies were perfect. Had the cheesecake for dessert, it was Devine. Our new favorite place in Curri! Well worth the money for the exceptional service and best steaks we’ve had in Costa Rica.
Response: Cait, thanks for your comment

Chung Vong (Richard): I have been eating here for quite a couple of times and I definitely recommend it. The beef is very well done in the sense that if you ask medium, medium rare, or fully cook, they get it right all the time. Although the main steaks are a bit pricy specially the New York steak, they are worthed. Personally I recommend the beef fajita dish which has the best combination on price, size and taste.
Arturo Castillo Esquivel
Arturo Castillo Esquivel: Poor service and ambience, the food was average, we arrived 1.5 hours before closing, the service was rushed. Do not order "ceviche", it is flavorless!. On the other hand the 400g Delmonico was well cooked 3/4 👌
Response: Arthur, thank you very much for your comment. We greatly appreciate your visit. We will forward your comment to those in charge. We are waiting for you soon here at El Novillo Alegre.

Rob Sisson
Rob Sisson: My date and I both got the chefs special. When we got our bill, there was a charge for the waiter making the recommendation. The steak I had was grissly, not easy to cut. Not worth the price I paid. Will not return.
Response: Thank you very much for your comment, it will be escalated immediately to management.
Rony Molina Montoya
Rony Molina Montoya: The food was good but the meat has a lot of residual taste of the flame initiator of the grill. For this restaurant and the menu price this details must be taken care of. Service was very nice

Cindy Maroto
Cindy Maroto: We arrived close to 9 pm and they close at 10 so we were served like in a hurry by our waitress. So this did not make us enjoy the experience. Food was good but expensive.
