Reviews Summary
El Ferroviario is celebrated for its authentic Argentine Asado, massive portions, and immersive countryside atmosphere with gaucho-dressed staff. Diners praise the delicious food, excellent service, and great value, making it a highly recommended 'local' experience. Some solo diners have noted the overwhelming portion sizes, suggesting sharing is key.
"We were greeted by the waitress, dressed as a gaucho, and let me tell you that this place takes you to the countryside with the atmosphere, service, and above all the food. Portions are extremely generous, so be ready to share your plate."
Nicolas Peyuka
"The most traditional and authentic restaurant we visited while in Argentina. A place not meant for tourists. Excellent service, delicious food and amazing beef cuts. The place is super busy even in single days. I guess on the weekends it must be impossible to enter if you don’t have a reservation. An amazing concept over all. I’d love to re visit if I ever return to Argentina. Our love from Greece"
Michalis Komis
"Unbelievable service.
Food is amazing. Great pricing. Great enviorement.
I would totally recommend. As many said, the most "local" place I visited and really great food.
My only negative point about it is that I went solo and they could have send less food. I asked for separated foods but It might be misscommunication. Just to avoid wasting. Other than that, nothing bad to say about it."
