El Rincon Argentino Restaurant Review:


Argentinean steakhouses are immensely popular in Mexico City. But few are as well-liked as this cavernous, rustic space, decorated in dark wood to resemble a cabin in the pampas region of Argentina. While there are no surprises on the menu, all the bases of Argentine cuisine are covered. Among the best appetizers are the empanadas, which come filled with meat, cheese or spinach; baked provoleta cheese; chorizo; and matahambre (a cold roll of veal stuffed with vegetables and hard-boiled eggs). Among the main dishes, the strong suit is of course beef, and among the Argentine cuts of steak are the lean bife de lomo or the juicier (albeit more fat-riddled) bife de chorizo. (The latter dish, despite its name, is beef and not sausage.) The more adventurous can order a parrillada, the mixed grill that includes various cuts of steak, as well as organ meats and sausages. There's a full bar and a decent, although overpriced, list of wines from Europe and the Americas.
