Baires Grill

Baires Grill has long been a reliable budget Argentine parillada on Washington Avenue in South Beach, and a move to new, classier digs up the block should only increase its popularity. Service and prices remain as friendly as ever. Guests are cordially welcomed and the staff exhibits a keen interest in assuring diner satisfaction – […]

Bunbury

It may be the funky space (a converted tire shop filled with tchotchkes and mismatched furniture), the upbeat music (Frankie Valli and Neil Diamond followed by a contemporary DJ and even live jazz some nights), the booze (it’s a wine bar owned by two Argentine sommeliers) or all three, but Bunbury in Edgewater is simply […]

Che Tano

Argentines are recognized for their meat. In fact, you can find a parrillada serving loads of churrasco, sausage, and ribs in almost any Miami neighborhood. Argentine bakeries are not as ubiquitous, although they should be. Somehow, while the rest of the Hispanic world never thought to venture past chicken and beef empanada fillings, Argentines boldly […]

Fiorito

An Argentine-inspired gem awaits in Little Haiti, identifiable by an unmistakable welcome sign: the towering mural of soccer icon (and newly minted South Floridian) Lionel Messi above the entrance. Soccer is a major theme here – the name itself is a homage to Argentine legend Diego Maradona’s city of birth. It’s a relaxed and inviting […]

Graziano’s

At this comfortable and inviting Argentine steak house, nothing succeeds like excess, as in enormous portions of hugely flavorful, precisely cooked beef that cost a fraction of what they would at your typical American-style meatery. An encyclopedic wine list and suave, professional service add to the enjoyment of meats cooked on the grill or the […]

Half Moon Empanadas

Juan Zavala Jr. and his wife Pilar would sometimes sit around with friends in their native Argentina and ponder dinner-by-delivery choices. Inevitably it would come down to pizza or empanadas, and just as inevitably, they’d choose the latter. It occurred to Juan that maybe some of the 40 million Hispanics living in the United States […]

La Estancia Argentina

Argentine steaks are revered not because of how they’re cooked, but because the meat is incredible. The cattle roam the fertile pastures of the pampas and are never forced to exert themselves (because exercise makes the meat tougher). They are carted around the country in train cars. This special treatment produces beef that melts when […]

La Patagonia Argentina

Discreetly tucked away in a Miami strip mall, La Patagonia Argentina offers great Argentine fare and top service at reasonable prices. Popular dishes include entraña ($15.95), a grilled skirt steak served with mixed greens; pollo Santa Cruz ($11.95), chicken stuffed with spinach in a creamy mozzarella sauce served with butter-herb potatoes; and ravioles de espinaca […]
