Let's kick off the grilling season! Argentina is known for beef prepared on parrillas—grills, but there's more to Argentine cuisine than beef. We’ll keep the Southern California year round grilling season going with this delicious cuisine. We'll start off with mini picadillo filled empanada--filled turnovers. Then get the grilling going with a grilled skirt steak with our infamous homemade chimichuri sauce. Argentine sausages, potatoes and veggies fragrantly grilled Gaucho style on rosemary skewers and served with an aromatic cilantro garlic rice. And Argentine dessert will be served. Go Meat!
