★★★★★ 5.0 Alfonso Villasenor · Dec 2025

Nice neighborhood restaurant. Feels like being at home. The steaks are top notch; cooked to perfection, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Recommend the combo <<Entraña y Tiras (Skirt steak and Short Ribs)>> with fríes. The cheese cooked on the grill is delicious. The place has decent wines, too.

I've been coming to this non-presumptive Argentinian steak house since the 90's. It has probably been around since the mid to late 70's or even before that. And that's because they have retained the repeat clients and new one's because of how good their steaks and prices are. Their steaks are "scrumptuous." I have a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes and the Russian salad with a glass of red house wine, and I leave very satisfied each time. And can't wait till the next time that I can go for a juicy perfectly cut and quality steak cooked over fire.

On behalf of The Center for the Women of New York, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to La Esquina Criolla for their generous and delicious donation of empanadas to our Taste of the World at Fort Totten gala. La Esquina Criolla’s empanadas were, as always, a huge hit—flaky, golden pastry wrapped around savory, well-seasoned fillings. Each bite was packed with authentic flavor and made with the kind of care and tradition that keeps guests coming back for more. It’s no surprise that their empanadas have become a beloved staple at our event! We’re so grateful for La Esquina Criolla’s ongoing support and dedication to our cause. It’s because of wonderful local businesses like theirs that we’re able to raise essential funds to support women across New York. Their continued generosity make

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Miss N · Aug 2024

I gave a 3 stars review mainly for the food. I ordered Parrillada Completa para 1 and Ensalada. First come appetizer bread + butter and I have no idea what it was, sliced meat. That was really good. Then, the main course Parrillada Completa came. The steak is okay, cant complaint, but the rest was very standard. They didnt come with any salsa, i was expecting they came with green or red sauce. Well i was very highly anticipated because got recommended by my Argentinian friend, but probably this is just not for me. Maybe i will give another chance to order another dish next time.

The restaurant delivers real value for the price. Such attention to flavor profiles. My taste buds were completely amazed. The team was exceptional, highly focused and delightful. This restaurant earns my constant backing.
