About

Located in the heart of trendy Palermo Viejo, little La Leyenda upholds a defiant old school, no frills attitude. The restaurant's self-proclaimed gauchos urbanos (urban cowboys) keep this local-favorite parilla light on the wallet and heavy on charm. Those lucky enough to snag one of the few barstools or curbside tables can expect a true Argentine meal. La Leyenda's grill is its centerpiece, and an impressive array of sizzling steaks can draw a large, salivating crowd on weekends. The menu is traditional and simple (anything you can grill!), and portions are generous. Cuts of beef and pork vary daily. Beer and wine are sold. -Tim Wilkins
