What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Parrilla Peña is celebrated for its generous portions of incredibly flavorful steaks and delicious, complimentary empanadas, offering an authentic Argentine dining experience. While the food quality and the bustling, local atmosphere are major draws, some diners have noted that ordering steaks to a specific 'medium-rare' can be hit or miss.
"Good vibes in this down to earth brightly lit place. I appreciate that they
do half servings for some cuts, although in the case of the Bife de lomo pricewise it won't make much of a difference. The ribeye was so juicy and flavorful. I also like that they have half wine bottles at a reasonable price. The fries where not much to write home about though, but why bother in a parrilla."

"Best place for classic Argentine food. The steaks are incredible. They welcome you with a delicious beef empanada and delightful bread. Great salads too. We didn’t stay for dessert but a table next to us was cleaning the plate of a large portion of tiramisu. Highly recommend 👍"
