Reservations · Takeout

Generous Argentine grill near Belgrano C with friendly service, great value set menus, and mostly well-cooked meats; occasional complaints about reheats and billing speed temper an otherwise strong pick.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

La Anita Parrilla delivers solid Argentine parrilla dining with exceptional service attentiveness and strong food quality when execution is on point—tender steaks and crispy chitterlings earn consistent praise. However, inconsistent execution with occasional cold or undercooked items, combined with isolated food safety concerns, prevents a higher grade. The comfortable, well-lit space and friendly staff make it a reliable neighborhood choice for parrilla lovers, though not a destination restaurant.

Restaurant Summary

A lively Belgrano spot just off the Chinatown arch, this parrilla feels warm and welcoming rather than chaotic. Servers are often called out by name for being attentive and friendly, and plates land quickly from the open grill. One diner summed it up: "We ordered the mixed grill and the ribeye was buttery, with more than enough to share." However, a few guests reported cold or undercooked items, and paying at the cashier can be frustratingly slow at peak times. The cooking leans classic Argentine—think shareable parrilladas, provoleta, empanadas, and familiar steaks. Portions are hearty, lunch sets are a deal, and staff will guide doneness and cuts if you are new to parrilla culture. Expect straightforward flavors over flash; when the grill is dialed in, it delivers tender steaks and crispy chitterlings that keep locals returning. Families do well here thanks to kid-friendly staples like milanesa with fries, grilled chicken, gnocchi, and simple pastas from the current menu. While salads and a few vegetarian pastas exist, options are limited for strict vegetarians, so plan accordingly. Portions are generous and shareable, but confirm split charges to avoid confusion.
