I asked for the "Chivo al Horno de Barro" and it was actually delicious.
Service wad good but it was quite hot inside. We didn't take a table outisde because it was too dark to have a meal.

If you want to have some amazing traditional chivito (goat), this is the ideal place! Extraordinary food, good and fast service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a decent wine selection. The chairs could be more comfortable, though!

We made a beeline here and made a reservation the fist night we were in Malarge and were told to arrive at 914pm. A bit odd, but we did and the place was about 1/3 full. Our table was by the toilets, when there were free tables (ie without 'reservation' signs) elsewhere. We indicated that we would like to move but were indicated back, fairly brusquely ... no. Surely you put late-comers on the not so good tables?

It took ages to be served; we asked for the really nice wine that we spied earlier in the day and was told it wasn't available - so my friend got up and pointed it out ... and it was served.

At this point I'm wondering if there is an 'Anglo' factor at play here (ie locals get priority in everything). Who knows?

I ordered the claypot goat and it came out terribly overcooked, dry and gristly. Was it left over from the previous night? My friend's pasta was equally disappointing.

We went back the next night without a reservation, as our planned other options fell through. Much better table, and the steak meals were also better, but still far short of the reputation of this restaurant.

Try elsewhere is my advice or if you go, go early without a reservation if you are an Anglo.

Great rustic log interior. Open for lunch and dinner (siesta in between). We had lunch there on a weekday; early (12:30) it was about half full. Typical Argentine steakhouse, with other entrees including roasted goat (Chivo). My wife and I split a rib eye (lomo) with fries and a mixed salad. More than enough for both of us! A good choice in Malargue.

If you are visiting Malargue, don't miss it to have dinner here. Best chevito in town (goat) - and without any doubt, the best service in town and surroundings. Antonella, we love you! You made our dinners special dinners. Antonella, the amamos!
