Classic Argentine grill with standout empanadas and skirt steak, cozy vibe with live music some nights, good value for meats though service and consistency can vary.
El Nandú delivers competitive neighborhood Argentine grill quality with strong food quality anchored by excellent entraña and empanadas, though inconsistent execution across visits—occasional dryness and cold plates—prevents higher standing. Cozy Fullerton location and reasonable pricing appeal to families and steak enthusiasts, but variable service attentiveness on busy nights limits the experience from reaching grade A territory.
One caveat: Service can lag when busy; some parties served out of order
