Our little Argentinian place in NJ. The best Milanesa Napolitana & empanadas in town.

Argentinian food. A quaint cafe we stumbled upon by using Google when when we’re in the Berkeley Hgts area. We had the French toast with strawberries and Nutella. Cafe con leche. Empanadas seem to be a main food here, serving more than 12 varieties, the largest selection I’ve seen in a cafe. I had a cheese and onion. My husband had beef. The beef seemed to need something. Maybe a sauce. And I was surprised it didn’t come with something. In my area they all come with a sauce. But upon questioning, sauce is not given unless 3 are ordered. Which doesn’t make sense to me. If you count mine, we ordered 3. Anyway, I would say try them. They also have Uber eats. So no excuse not to try them. Breakfast for 2 plus 3 takeaway empanadas was 80. Took a few empanadas home (sauce was given ) The decor is Argentinian memorabilia and fun to look at. They also gave us a 10% coupon to use on a future order. Nice people ! Very welcoming.

Authentic, high quality, family-run Argentinean restaurant - arguably the best in NY area! A bite of a Milanesa or an empanada and you find yourself back in Argentina!!. Amazing service, high quality and healthy food. Must go for anyone wanting to try traditional Argentinean food. Also their coffee is excellent! Vamos a volver!!

Love love love this place! Walked in for the first time and the owner was very welcoming. Food was BIG and delicious, coffee was perfect too! The interior was full of vintage Argentinian decor, which made me feel like in a different world. Glad I chose a local latin-owned business to try out!

The Churrasco with Chimichurri The bread pudding with Dulce de Leche and a Strawberry on top were out of this world. The service? It’s like eating at home! And the atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. Love to come back! I recommend this place. No doubts!
