Rio Alba
Rio Alba Review
In terms of quality, price, and charm, this is the best parrilla in Buenos Aires. Period. It consistently serves the tastiest and tenderest cuts of beef. The asado de tira is particularly good, as is the flavorful entrana. Ask for a minigrill at your table to keep your meat warm; you're going to need time to finish the enormous servings. The old-school waiters wear vests and bow ties and refuse to write anything down, but they always get the order right. This place is packed every night of the week with businesspeople and families. If you arrive after 9:30 pm, expect to wait for a table.
