El Rincón Gaucho

Fodor's Review:

The cowhides on the floors and the photos of prize heifers on the walls don't let you forget that this is the place for steaks. Even the menus are made of hand-tooled leather. The Argentine beef, always sliced to order, is displayed just inside the front door. The best bet for the indecisive is the parrillada, a mixed grill of steaks, kidneys, livers, pork chops, chicken legs, and blood pudding. The order for two will satisfy three or four people. Although the restaurant overlooks the ocean, only a handful of tables have a view.
