That's good news. Good luck Tejano Libre!
I came in here this afternoon for a nice steak, I actually saw the new menu, and the first thing I saw was the BBQ pork ribs, I was salivating, so far only Kansas has made a decent baby back. I asked for the ribs and they had just run out. I was disappointed but I got over it. I ordered the stuffed baked potato and it was amazing, my girl had the mozzarella sticks. And as a main dish I had the stuffed New York strip, almost a pound of artery clogging goodness. It was basically a giant New York strip stuffed full of bacon and cheese. My girl had the Filet Mignon in a mushroom sauce. I tried the filet and it was extremely tender and it had a hint of marsala wine, very nice.
The place was packed full of people for lunch time and the food was great. In total I paid about 100 pesos and it was well worth it. The two suggestions I would make to management would be 1) trip the steaks a little more, my steak was great but I had to do some trimming. And 2) hire some hot chicks:D.
This place is great, somewhat out of the way for me but the food and the prices keep me coming back.

Ramiro and Dario:
I am requesting a table for myself on Tuesday at around 9pm. I would like Lomo with garlic, onions and your mushroom sauce. Also your usual salad with carrots. And of course a small bottle of Malbec.
If anyone wants to join me your are welcome to.

Please someone teach them how to make a Ceasar salad.
Ceasar rolls in his grave everytime an Argentino makes a "Ceasar salad" in Buenos Aires and he's not skipping a beat on the ones made at L'Alliance.
Please, respect the dead, get out a cookbook.
Tell them how you would like it. They will fix it anyway you want.
Copy the formula off the internet for them. They will be greatful.

I generally like l'Alliance but have not tried the Ceasar Salad. But Bacchus and WT, FYI:
The Ceasar Salad cannot really be said to have a fixed recipe, as it was invented in Tijuana during the 1920's gambling era glory days on a busy weekend in which Ceasar's Hotel on Revolucion was running out of a lot of stuff. They just tossed much of what was left in the kitchen together, and it was a hit. That has been more or less the basic strategy ever since. If you think I am kidding, check it out:

Of course, quality ultimately depends on the chef tossing appropriate stuff together, and we all have expectations as to the basics. If you want to follow a fixed recipe to be safe, there are an infinite number of options, here is one:

I've eaten there three times now in the last week. The steaks are a great deal. If you like moldy cheese ask for the Roquefort queso to go with the Lomo. Its a great combination. The mixed mashed potato plate (some sort of sweet potato on one half and regular on the other) is quite good as well.
My last visit I stopped in around 1 am after a late pravido session nearby. I wasn't sure if they'd be open, but the chef cooked me a wonderful Lomo and Romiro was great company. Hope you got out of the dog house with your Chica bro! Perhaps we can hit Cocodrillos tomorrow night?
Cheers,
PCDude
I appreciate your advice and I am going to try to improve the salad.
However, it is not one of the specialties of the house.
A great steak with an awesome mushroom cream sauce is my personal favorite. Surrounded by fried gnocchis! The green variety.
Thanks Guys!
As long as there are Argentine women there will always be Chica problems!

Sorry to say it looks the restaurant will be closed for a few days.
Some Ladrons did some remodeling. They punched two holes in the upstairs walls, getting into the check cashing place next door, on Sunday night.
In their haste to leave, either they or the police dropped two 9mm dumb dumb head magazines on the floor.
I do not know if they got any money from the check cashing place, because nobody had shown up from the company as of 10:30pm Monday night.

Yes, it's a major problem!
The motherfuckers made a huge mess, took 1000 pesos and destroyed my wood paneling which will be impossible to match!
The police will not allow me into my own restaurant to clean up.
I have a dinner party for 35 people tonight. I think?
Such is life in beautiful, crime-free Buenos Aires!
The goddamn summer has returned too!
Take Care,
TL
After about 6 hours with the police they finally allowed me into the restaurant! My party of 35 cancelled! It's a mess but we are going to try to open up for dinner. At least downstairs.
Thanks for all the support!

I ate here tonight for the first time. All this time, I didn't realize this place was right around the corner from Exedra.
Outstanding bife de lomo in mushroom sauce.
Seems to be some shitty luck going on. I hope you get it all fixed quick!
Good luck, Ramiro!
Nice, neighborhood-style parrilla. Good steak, enjoyed it. Definitely a good, low-stress option for times when you're down in Microcentro.

Had to do it, we haven't had a dust up in way too long.
(l'Alliance forgive me, the foods great)
This afternoon I came by to eat a late lunch. While I was ordering, Larillo (oh man, I just know I mispelled that, sorry) sent two female employees to the supermarket to get something, and when they came out of the market some young local Argentino decided to have a good time at their expense and groped both of them. He grabbed one in the tits and the other in the ass. They came back to the restaurant and told Larillo, who grabbed one of the cops always on duty up the street, and they went after the guy. I could tell the girls were pretty upset, and I commend Larillo for looking after his female employees.
After being accosted by the police officer, the accused was at first pretty nonchalant about it, and then he came up with a story that Larillo and the two girls had tried to rob him, if you can believe that! (Besides being ridiculous on the face of it, the story can't be true because he was in the restaurant with me and numerous other witnesses when this bastard was groping the girls).
When I left the accused and the accusers had gone to the local police station. I hope to find out more tonight.
Correct spelling is Dario (thanks WT69)
They all came back last night after several hours at the police station. Don't know what outcome will be.

I suspect that Dario has good relations with his local police, and that they won't pay attention to bullshit stories made up by some street scum.
Dario says they put the fucker in jail, though I don't know how long he would have stayed there.

Those who have been in Buenos Aires long enough know that having lunch specially a good bife de lomo would need to be after 1:00 pm. Well, L' Alliance is one of the few places in Microcentro where you can take lunch as early as 1200 noon. It seems that the parillero begins to heat up the grill at pretty early. Pound per peso - this is the best lomo you can have in BA.
Hey there folks! I am the dumb new guy who is staying at the Hilton rather than renting an apartment, because I didn't know better; who met some of you folks at L'alliance this week. I picked my name because I should be getting donkey punched for staying at such an expensive place. Anyhow, I decided to make my first post here at L'alliance because I have been a regular because the food rocks, the owners and staff are awesome and the company is fun. Ya'll the shizzle.
Thanks Keith, for hooking me up with valuable info, like this website, a new contact for apartment rentals and where to get cheap drugs (like Ambien for sleeping) Thanks Jerry for getting me back to the Hilton safely last night. I owe you guys big time! I am such a dumb **** when I am inebriated. Hopefully, I will meet the legend Jackson before I leave.
Bife de Lomo and the empanadas rock at L'alliance!
The Hilton isn't a bad place if you're regularly upgraded to suites. However, not that great for mongering. Hang around Exedra and L'alliance, and you'll pick up all the good tips.

Donkey,
I hope your new friends don't mind you using (what may be) their real names on the board.
They are not drugs as you think, they are for sleeping on the airplane.
The names are wrong to protect the innocent.
If you are reading this and not here you are missing sex heaven.

He is learning what is good and what is bad. Madahos was too much for him, but we got him back to the hotel.

I have issues...(booze) Thanks to my new friends / wingmen, I made it back to the hotel safely, and with my credit card. Once again, I owe you guys big. Also, sorry about the name issue. I will keep everything anonymous from now on. Any how, it was fun hanging out with you all and watching the bicholas strut their stuff.
Lastly, if you want generic ambien, it is zolpidem 10mg. Here in argentina, the trade name is sumenan.
Went here last week after reading the various reports here. It's not written up in the BsAs guiaoleo for some reason.
Some mix up where I wanted some spinach and onion side dish, but the waiter only asked me if I wanted fries or a mixed salad. Hmmm.
Anyways, steak was nicely cooked and fairly tasty. Probably won't return, though, since I saw the grillman throw various garbage into the area where the coals are fired before putting them under the grill. I don't mind him doing it with paper, but he clearly threw some plastic things in there. Can't be good healthwise.
We do not burn plastic bags in our grill. We recycle everything. What you may have observed was the wrapper that the coal comes in. A biodegradable vegetable based bag.
I thought the very same thing when I first had dinner at Lálliance and I noticed the grill man tossing the ¨bag¨in the fire.
He explained it to me and I thought it was a great idea to bring to the states.
Biodegradable, vegetable based wrappers!
Thank you for your business!
Ramiro.
P. S - You are welcome to come over for Thanksgiving dinner if you are in town!
