Best meal I've had in a long time. The empanadas were sublime - light and fluffy and really tasty. Skirt steak melted in my mouth. Cocktails were refreshing and original.

One of my favorite restaurants in New York! Everything on their menu is great, and worth coming back for. The portions are great, too. Make sure you come hungry.

Well, this turned from an initial lukewarm interaction with the hostess by phone to an amazing night. I'm traveling with two kids in NYC for a week and a half, and it's challenging to find food, even now with them being open-minded tweeny-boppers (oxymoron, I know) on cuisine. Once we walked in earlier in the evening with no reservation and were then seated with no time limit, it was quality all the way, minus the less-than-flavorful mate borracho I started with the empanadas. The kids went crazy for the food. The empanadas were tasty, although the canned/unseasoned corn in the spinach/corn/cheese one could have been roasted corn for more depth of flavor. The steak and paella were truly wonderful. Cooked medium minus, it was really tasty. The paella looks small, but we had a 13-year-old boy, my 10-year-old, and I mopped up almost all of the food. Wonderful. Bonus: Their wine menu is significantly Argentinian, and the Rivus PN was a great pairing with the paella. Get a bottle. The taste I had of it was open for at least half the day. It's not cheap, but not horrible -- 192 for three people to eat with one bottle of wine, one before-dinner cocktail, two main courses, and one dessert. The service was really marvelous, too, and patient with my crew.

Love love love El Almacen! My boyfriend and I went on our first official date here and we had the best time. We've gone a few times since and the food and service are excellent. I love the stuffed pepper and beef rib tacos and my boyfriend is obsessed with the Churrasco.
