Order the slow-cooked short ribs if you are committing to the full experience. The chorizo at 90 baht per piece is the easiest way in. Picanha sits around 800 to 900 baht, the beef tongue at 560 baht, and the wine list runs deeper than the cocktail selection. Come with at least two people and a parking plan.
You walk into a large open room where the parilla sits center-stage and the scent of wood smoke layers over everything before you have chosen a table. The kitchen was set up in 2019 by a group who brought in an Argentinian chef as partner, and the camp-fire approach is the organizing principle: meat on skewers over live flame, no shortcuts.
The slow-cooked short ribs (1,950 baht for a kilogram bone-in) are the signature move. They arrive well-done after hours over indirect heat, the fat rendered down, the smoke settled deep. The Picanha runs between 800 and 900 baht depending on weight. Beef tongue costs 560 baht. Chorizo sausage is 90 baht per piece, cheese bread comes four to a serve for 60 baht, and the pasta lists at 190 baht. The strawberry salad is 220 baht. The menu leans into high-quality cuts and traditional Argentine technique without the fine-dining markup you might expect in Sathorn.
The space divides between indoor seating and a garden area that gets most of the weekend brunch traffic. Saturday and Sunday lunch runs from noon to 2:30 PM, dinner service opens at 5:30 PM every night except Monday when the restaurant stays closed. Reservations are required. Call ahead on 02 005 6627.
Free parking fills the lot out front. Dogs are welcome inside and out. The wine list earns the google highlight, the live music shows up regularly, and the bar on site pours cocktails and spirits alongside the Argentine selections. Wheelchair access is full: entrance, seating, and toilet. High chairs available if you are bringing children.
