El Estanciero

At Arguibel Cuisines: American

About

In most of the restaurants in the Las Cañitas section of Palermo, it's all about the glamour. Here, however, in the parrilla El Estanciero, it's all about the beef, arguably the best in the neighborhood. The portions are not the largest, but the cuts are amazingly flavorful, with just the right mix of fat to add tenderness. If you order the steak rare (jugoso), it won't be served nearly raw. The restaurant is in two levels, with sidewalk seating at the entrance and a covered open-air terrace above. Both floors have a subtle, gaucho-accented decor that does not overwhelm the senses with kitsch. Never as crowded as the other restaurants lining the street, it's a great option when the lines are too long at nearby hot spots.
