The pac&uacute; with Torront&eacute;s was spot on, and those caprese sorrentinos didn&#39;t disappoint. Gets crowded fast, so come early.

Came back two days in a row, that says it all. The sweetbreads with Torront&eacute;s were spot on, and the ribeye was cooked exactly how I asked. Staff found out we were on our honeymoon and sent over a bottle of late-harvest wine, which was a really nice touch. Patio looks right out onto the vineyard, pretty hard to beat. Only thing is it gets a bit busy later in the evening, but honestly, worth it.

Found this place a couple blocks from the plaza. Empanadas were good but honestly the wine markup felt a bit steep for what you get. Still, decent spot if you&#39;re already in the area.

The Malbec flight here is the move. Tried three different wineries in one sitting, and the last one had that smoky finish I keep chasing. Chato actually knew what he was talking about when I asked about the terroir. Wish the pours were a bit bigger for the price, but the flavors were solid.

The grilled kid goat was decent, tender enough but nothing that really stuck with me. The llama stew had a rich broth, though the meat was a bit chewy. I mostly appreciated that the vegetables tasted fresh, not like they&#39;d been sitting around. Service was friendly, no complaints there. Place gets busy around noon, so expect a bit of a wait. Fine for a casual lunch if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick lunch and grabbed a couple of tamales. They were solid, fresh, and the masa had a nice texture. Prices felt fair for what you got. I had a glass of their house red with it, which worked better than I expected. Roberto was on top of everything, friendly without hovering. Place gets a bit busy around noon, but it moved fast enough.

The open-air patio here is gorgeous &mdash; we sat outside with a glass of wine and it felt like a little escape. Food&#39;s creative and pretty on the plate, but honestly the portions are kinda small. I ordered the risotto and it was tasty, just left me wanting a bit more. Nice spot for a relaxed evening though. 🌿

The llama meat was the reason I came and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Tender, flavorful, and the portion was actually generous. The dessert with cheese and nuts after... such a good call. Service was friendly too, never had to wait long. Just a solid meal overall.

The goat cheese provoleta was really good, and the quinoa salad felt fresh. Courtyard seating made it easy to relax. Prices seemed fair for what you get.
