Can I just say the Ojo de bife (rib eye) was 10/10!? I was googling the best places to eat steak and the reviews led me to Santos Manjares. A couple bloggers have mentioned this is a local favorite, and won't break bank too much! And I concur. I would have loved to try the whole Asado experience if I had more than 24 hours in BA but this parilla is hands down worth going to! Take note that they don't take reservations as it's on a first come first serve basis. They are open at 11:30am Monday to Saturday so when I got there at noon, I was lucky to snag a table. You can choose from mashed potatoes, mashed pumpkin, sautéed vegetables, rice or fries for your side. Don't forget to pair your steak with wine! The Malbec they served me (Alma Mora) was an exquisite pairing with my meal- I'm no wine connoisseur but it was absolutely amazing with my medium rare ojo de bife. If you have room for dessert, make sure to try the flan con dulce de leche which were equal parts delightful! I would go back to Santos Manjares in a heart beat! Not to mention, the staff and servers are really friendly and helpful!

An excellent restaurant! Classic staple with classic food and well priced. It's a small place so be patient with seating but it's definitely worth it! We ordered some beer to start and the chorizo and a morcilla. For the entrees we got a milanesa sandwich and shared a ojo de bife and a bife de chorizo. The portions were massive with giant sides. Staff was great and food was delicious! An overwhelmingly fun and pleasant experience that anyone should enjoy.

SM is a little busy restaurant. Nice setting. We were greeted and seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. Our waitress Daniella was super pleasant. She speaks English very well. The menu is in both English and Spanish. We were served expeditiously. The only downside is that my ojo bife was very tough and no flavor. I gave 4 stars because I did not enjoy my steak, but the rest of my party had the Lomo and rump steak, they enjoyed theirs and the service was excellent.

Love this spot! A local guide told me about it, said it's a local favorite. I came for the first time at opening on a weekday for lunch, and it filled up quickly! I got the ojo de bife with sauteed veggies the first time (every meat comes with a side) and the bife de lomo the second time, both medium. It was super tasty, flavorful, juicy, not too bloody. I was given bread with chimichurri as well, and the sauteed veggies were good too (could do with some salt which they gave to me). Would highly recommend this spot, but if you come during peak hours, there will be a wait!

Amazing food amazing service quick and cheap tasty steaks of meats. The ambiance is very chill and cute. I ordered the chicken steak with veggies it def hit the spot and it came with chimichurri sauce and tomato salsa with fresh bread rolls. I made my self a sandwish with these rolls and I was in heaven just like that! Topped with that sauce yum

Best meal we had while in Buenos Aires! In fact it was so good we returned on our final night. I had a filet mignon the first time but it was so much bigger than USA portions, so on my return I had the filet medallions - I think they call them coins - and that was the perfect size meal for me. I usually ike my steak well done, which often results in it being overcooked, dry and sometimes burned on the outside. Not so at this restaurant... the steak was tender and I couldn't believe how tasty it was, yet it was exactly how I liked it cooked. I just wish it was closer to home so we could visit more often.

Lovely place with a great menu. Steaks cooked perfectly and equally great service from the servers. Place was busy but luckily had open seating upstairs on the balcony. Very home style/comfort food feel here. Great vibes, check it out!

This was one of the top 5 meals of my life. Lol So good that I came back every night for a week! I got the bife de lomo, provoleta and a half bottle of wine. (All for like $10 USD) Everything was excellent! The vibes were incredible, the staff was so sweet. I'm not sure what else to say except check out the pictures and GO if you're in Buenos Aires!
