Very delicious food! We ordered two orders of empanadas and the barbecue for 2 to 3 people and there were 5 of us, and believe me we were full with that, everything is very well served and the meat is juicy and with good seasoning, also, the service is good! The lady who served us was very kind and attentive, we will definitely return. Oh and the chimichurri was very delicious

Dining at la Trankera was nothing short of extraordinary. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the warm ambience. The menu was a celebration of Argentina’s culinary heritage, featuring classics like empanadas and, of course, an impressive selection of grilled meats. I opted for the bife de chorizo cooked medium-rare, and it was perfection on a plate. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to a precise char that highlighted its quality. Accompanying the steak were traditional chimichurri sauce and a side of crisp, golden papas fritas, both of which complemented the meal beautifully. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The staff took time to explain the menu and even shared a bit about the cultural significance of asado (Argentine barbecue), making the experience feel personal. If you’re looking for an authentic Argentine dining experience with outstanding steak and impeccable hospitality, La Trankera is the place to be. It’s not just a meal—it’s a journey to Argentina’s heart and soul.

David the owner is super friendly! We are still learning Spanish and it was helpful that he also spoke English and could help us with menu recommendations. We had a sharing platter of empanadas, skirt steak, chorizo, and steak which was delicious especially with the homemade chimmichuri sauce. We also shared a white chocolate Argentine cookie which was also delish. We will be back!

This place is one of the best I have visited , the people who serve you are very friendly, the food service is very fast and attentive; The food goes without saying, the choripan with the chimichurri they have is the most delicious and I also recommend the trankera burger. The prices are very affordable and the place is a little small but very very pleasant since it has climate. It would always be an option to return
