...the Gran Parrilla del Plata.
A fantastic steak and grilled meat house, the Gran Parrilla nevertheless served the absolute best empanadas I have ever had. First of all, they were fried so the outside was crisp and cooked all the way through -- no icky doughiness! Then, the meat inside was perfectly seasoned with a bit of cumin but not so much so that it overpowered the taste. Also contained inside was some egg, which was nicely done as well. They came piping hot and almost got ordered again for dessert... Almost.
I asked our excellent waiter to give our regards to the chef and a little while later he gave us a wave from the kitchen. A master of the empanada.
They seemed to appreciate my appreciation because the kitchen sent out a free bottle of extra-brut bubbly for us as we finished up. : )
Recommended cut of meat: the baby (don't ask me, but that's what it was called)
Recommended wine: El Fin del Mundo Cabernet Sauvignon
Worth the trip for: the best empanada you may ever eat.
