La Fusta
8032 Baxter Ave, Elmhurst, Inwood,
If you live or work in Queens and you love steak, you'll love La Fusta. But to call this comfortable restaurant a steak place does not do it justice. The enormous menu features Argentine and Italian dishes, all executed successfully. Chicken and seafood are first-rate, as are the pastas, and the Argentine-style mixed grill is a carnivore's dream. Then there's the steak, which is always top quality and cooked precisely to order, regardless of the cut. Make sure you order the perfect french fries to accompany your steak. The wine list, while not large, features a nice selection of Chilean and Argentine wines that are moderately priced; the service staff can reliably match a wine to your party's meal. Menu prices are moderate and portions are generous. The room is comfortable if not fancy, and noise levels will rise if there are large parties in the restaurant. The waiters are friendly and efficient, and from your second visit will greet you like an old friend.

The Empanada Factory
1425 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, Lennox,
I LOVE empanadas from Empanada Factory! I buy them frozen and they make a great and tasty meal at night. Just cook them for 20 mins and dinner is ready. I specially like both the veggie and ham and cheese empanadas; and my husband is crazy about the beef empanadas and cheese, tomato and basil empanadas. I find empanadas to be healthy and non-greasy. Empanadas from Empanadas Factory are not cheap with the filling, so I am ok with just eating 2 or 3. They are perfect for parties or large groups, because there is a nice variety of flavors to choose from and you can eat them with your hands (no cutlery or plates needed!). I totally recommend them.

El Puerto Argentinean Grill
1623 E 5th Ave, Tampa, East Lake-Orient Park,
Awesome find. Nicely marinated skirt (flank) steaks grilled to perfection. Ask for the aji sauce with your order. Juicy, tender, and very flavorful. Okay prices. Service is authentic and friendly. Don't plan on making a movie after a quick meal - this is one that takes a while, as it should I enjoyed dinner here last night, and I'm looking forward to stopping by for lunch. ASAP TCB

Carlitos Gardel
7963 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, Lennox,
If you love amazing beef and chicken dishes with the service of a 5 star restaurant then you must must go to Carlito's Gardel. I first found it wandering through my high school neighborhood 6 years ago and the food and service have got nothing but better. The Argentian cuisine at its finest!!!!!!!! ....you may see me there when you go, lol

El Nandu
2731 W Fullerton Ave, Chicago, Hodgkins,
This is one of my fav little restaurants in chicago. Thursday nites are an experience in themselves with live music and a very homey atmosphere. Portions are large and can easily be shared and prices are reasonable. A great treat to be at!
