Underwhelming Alfajores — expected more

I was looking forward to Alfajores here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The herbal and garlicky character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with beef asado cuts or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. The a Sunday asado in a friend's garden setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. Quilmes lager was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
