Underwhelming Empanadas — expected more
I was looking forward to Empanadas 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 chimichurri herbs or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.
Argentina consumes more beef per capita than almost any other country. The a Buenos Aires steakhouse setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. yerba mate 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.
