This is a really cool looking place, but everything about it screams tourist trap. The fancy lighting and everything makes it seem like the food is going to be amazing, when in all actuality, food averaged 6.2 out of 10 for all of us.

HQ - "While sitting in plush leather chairs, I have found a little piece of American flavor within the borders of this beautiful island."

-and after dinner, there came another quote.-

HQ2 - "It makes me sad that there is no barbecue sauce or honey mustard."

It's really important to understand where you are eating. Don Tello's was a lot better and more fun, a unanimous decision. It was also a lot cheaper. This place needs more restroom space, and all the downs are irreplaceable by the cool atmosphere.

Favorite Dish: We had Cheeseburgers for $8.60 and Crab Bisque for $15.95. This place claims to be Argentinean, but everything on the menu looked rather... American. The Crab Bisque wasn't really soupy, is that an Argentinean way of making it? We don't know. Refills for sodas aren't free, so keep that in mind when you're ordering. One good thing about this place was the service, but that doesn't really replace the inflated prices and okay-tasting food.
