Description

Pioneered by the husband-and-wife team of Eder from Bilbao and Alex of Argentine roots, this neighborhood fixture has been executing regional dishes since 2008. The menu balances simple snacks like crispy, head-on fried shrimp with yuzu mayo against richer plates, including succulent pig with a super-crispy exterior and tender meat. For dessert, the kitchen serves Ruso meringue puffs alongside a thick, rich cheesecake. While some dishes like the seafood-light arroz draw mixed reviews, the focus remains on clean, traditional flavors.
