Frommer's Review
This place brings new meaning to the term "greasy spoon." Everything in here has an oily sheen -- from the slippery floor to the railings, glasses, and dishes. Even the walls and the artwork seem to bleed grease. Thankfully, the food more than makes up for the atmosphere: Serving mostly thick, well-cooked, and fatty steaks, this is one of San Telmo's best parrillas. A flood of locals and tourists, often lined up at the door, keeps the place hopping. On Sunday or when a game is on television, especially large crowds come to watch and eat under the blaring TV screen suspended over the dining area. The decor in this two-level restaurant is unassuming, home-style, and full of mismatched wooden chairs, tablecloths, and silverware. Unlike many other local restaurants that have inflated their prices in recent years, this parrilla has maintained its reasonably priced menu.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
