Fodor's Review:

Uptown's Asador Frontón II is swankier, but this downtown original is more charming, and fine meat and fish are the headliners on the menu. Appetizers include anchoas frescas (fresh grilled anchovies) and pimientos rellenos con bacalao (peppers stuffed with cod). The huge chuletón (T-bone steak), seared over charcoal and sprinkled with sea salt, is for two or more; order cogollo de lechuga (lettuce hearts) as an accompaniment. The cogotes de merluza (hake jowls) are light and aromatic.
