I found the last bife de chorizo I ate this week to be pretty good. I don't think I ever had a bad quality steak here, but there was a slight difference compared to earlier in the year.
Ramiro always does his best to keep you happy, and every menu option I tried was pretty good.
Well my trip to BA is now over, and I ate at around 5 or 6 parrillas whiel I was there, but the best steak I had was definitely at L'Alliance last night.
Ordered the Bife de Lomo following my ravioli, and my eyes opened wide and my stomach growled in appreciation at the sight of the portion of meat on my plate. It was a nice big generous serve for a nice big generous person like me:) As I mentioned, I also ordered some ravioli, which were good, but the steak was just great. From memory the pasta, the steak, a side dish, 1/8 bottle of wine, bottle of water, and a double coffee came to around 88 Pesos. Good value for such great food.
(One of the tastiest things I saw at L'Alliance is not on the menu apparently. Served in high heels and very tight jeans)
Alos got to meet Ramiro and some of the other guys from the forum, which was a nice experience. Ramiro is an excellent host. In sum, you would be mad not to include a visit to this parrilla here on any trip to BA.
Ramiro says come on by, he is OPEN.
I'll be coming by tomorrow night at 9pm for a grand Lomo. Look forward to seeing you all. Just 4 more morocha to go. Thank GOD. One will be a double header so I think that may count for two. LOL. Please have plenty of fluid ready Ramiro, because of daisy I may need a transfusion. She's tomorrow moring before the double header at 5pm with Laura and Milli (hope I make it out alive). Morcha. Morocha. Moracha.
Once you've gone Brown. Nothing else is down. Happy Mongering. Toymann.
PS. Hope you can join me Jackson
Will by Tues. And or Wed nights. Any problems with the farmers strike? Supplies making into town for my favorite place to eat? Just curious, anyone in town wanting to meet up Tuesday nite at dinner will be glad to buy a round of beer and get refamiliar with the city.
I just returned home from a week in Argentina.
Having R. T. F. F. Before my visit I had already decided to try the food at L, Alliance restaurant.
All the reports were accurate. The food was excellent and so were both the welcome and hospitality from Ramiro and his staff.
The Empanadas were home made, fresh and tasted superb!
I think that the Lomo was probably the best I have ever eaten.
The French Fries were crisp and light and the Flan Cassero was also excellent.
It is interesting to compare the food here with two other well known steak restaurants, Estancia and El Establo where I also ate during the week.
In my opinion L, Alliance was the best food of the three, and also the least expensive. El Establo was around 15% more expensive and Estancia around 30% more than Alliance!
I recommend that all visitors to Bs. As. Should try L, Alliance at least once and let your taste buds decide!
It was also great to meet (for the first time) Jackson, World Traveller, Toymann and several other Forum members at Alliance. As an occasional visitor it's good to be able to get the latest information on what's going on from more experienced Mongers!
My thanks to Ramiro, his staff, and all the other forum members who made my visit so enjoyable.
Hope to be back again soon. Thanks a bunch guys.
Best regards,
Hotman
I had the pleasure of lunch today at Alliance of which was my second visit.
Had the Lomo and the spaghetti and was superb!
I have spent alot more MONEY and received a much lessor experience at some of the top restaurants in BA.
Ramiro's hospitality and generousity definitely deserve strong props.
This restaurant is a must do while in BA
I want to extend a huge Thank You - Ramiro and the rest of the people I met at L'Alliance.
- Great Food and Wine.
- Great bunch of helpful guys.
- Great conversation.
And a wonderful spot to launch off into the nightlife in BA.

L'ALLIANCE is closed from running behind on the city payoff program. Unsure when will reopen.
Ramiro has definitely been one of the many Restobars who have had huge declines in business since the economica, inflation, problemas.
Normally I don't really care as most ARG Restuarants have average food with high prices and shitty service.
But;
Romiro excells in all these areas, plus what a great location for monger hangout.
This is a sad day and hope an action plan comes up soon.
Remiro, thanks for all the great times at your great restaurant and the tastiest food in BA. The Superbowl dinner was the greatest!
I know you will bounce back and things will be good again. Your loyal.
Followers will be with you.
Jackpot
You better be open for my Birthday Party next year, and before that when I get back.
I always had a great time at a great place and with great people.
I have tears in my eyes.
I hope that the "problems" can be sorted!
Allthough I am only an occasional visitor to Bs. As. I found the food and hospitality excellent on my last visit (I ate there 3 times in one week!
I will miss l,Alliance if it can not find a way to reopen.
Best of luck Ramiro for the future.
Hotman.
Thank you for all your support boys!
Here is the general run-down.
1. Lack of no smoking signs.
2. External sign permits needed.
3. Lack of emergency lighting.
4. Fire extinguisher certifications.
5. Ventilation systems.
6. Etc, etc, etc.
7. NO RUBBER DISPENSERS IN THE BATHROOMS!
I said shit man, I don't use them. I'm a good Catholic!
Go straight to hell if I did!
He, the judge, did not laugh a bit!
The cocksucker has ZERO sense of humor!
Anyway, trying to re-open in 10 days but it will be a little difficult.
I will take this opportunity to clean house. Remove employees and just revamp the fucking place a bit.
We shall see what happens!
Thanks Again!
I'm Out!

I'm now eating inferior lomo at higher prices. Make sure they let you put a table outside like Saturday night, That was a new experience
Come on guys give him a hand. A little labor will not kill you. I tried, redoing the Menu for what that is worth.
There is no Place else to meet each night. Let's fix up the place.
How about DH as the Head Chef? Or maybe with a French title for the French sounding name of the restaurant.
A few bucks will not kill you. Expat Owners, Partners.
The Green Bay Packers have made it work.
Ain't that right Thomaso276.
Maybe Jackson can open a Coffee, Bar someplace?
Man what is going on down there. I am just about to visit BA again and I am reading that Exedra is closed and now LAll. What is this world coming to. Where else is left just to hang out and browse.
[QUOTE=WorldTravel69]How about DH as the Head Chef?[/QUOTE]Maybe if he matches my present salary of about $140,000 pesos (plus 9% more for my retirement contribution, plus long-term and short-term disability insurance) and gives me my present five months off. Not too likely, I'm thinking.
Plus I'd need a no dog clause. I'm kind of funny about that, I guess. Oh yeah and no fucking cats either. I hate those things.
The last establishment that hired me would not listen to me when I told them they were way understaffed, needed to spend substantial amounts on equipment, and had sanitation issues. Then they got closed down for cockroaches. No real point in hiring professionals and then not listening to them. I got tired of that when I was a financial advisor.
No financial advice that I have ever given has been designed for a time frame of months. Only people your age have that kind of a time horizon.
I would consider a certain percentage of the business as part of your salary or in lieu of.
Call me O. B ONE!

Any change of status here?
Anything I can do to help?

Place is a fucking wreck and there will be more hookers than clients but it's my send off. Viking Style!
Out of the ashes there will rise a Phoenix. Not a Cardinal I hope!
Love that shitty team. Always have. Aye Exon?
If you'll are in the vicinity of the quadrangal. Do come on by, but be forewarned. It's a fucking mess and I don't have a single beer!
Just a glimmer of hope and a teaspoon of tears!
I'M Out. Maybe for Good!
It was a grand pleasure my friends!

Ramiro[/QUOTE]Ramiro,
Hope all ok? Your message box is full, I was trying to message you!
So are you having a get together here or are you letting go of this place?
You should have come by and had some free lomo ala oven-roasted turkey bag!
Betty Crocker!
Over cooked for me but the tacos were the best I've had since I've been in BA! BAR-NONE!
They will be on the new menu. Damn good, real good!
The meat falls apart, like pulled pork. (not pulled chicken like you guys are use to doing!)
Anyway, my bank in Houston is frozen and I'm fucked!
I think Aqualung's neighbor stole my last 12k that I had here!
Shitty luck!
Need to find out!
Is the place open?
Tacos?
Let us know when we can expect the re opening.
Regards,
BM.
God bless You Ramiro,
We all miss You & your business and the great times all us mongers had in your store. It was a great asset to all of us, not just the food but a place to hang.
With out question you served the best Lomo in buenos Aires. Unfortunely You never had enough working capital to stock my "Beefeaters", but we worked around that.
I can't make it, I'm to busy chasing a "CockSucker" and his "MotherFucking" buddy who have worked overtime trying to fuck me out of some money. But I hope to see you next month.
Remember the Lap Top idea.
Exon
Thank you sir!
Working on the re-opening. Should know more by Monday afternoon.
Thanks again boys!
Ramiro
I hope you will be open when I arrive in 2 weeks. As I spent many enjoyable nights there with you last year.
Best Regards.
Smuler
Best of luck from one of your many fans.

[QUOTE=Miami Bob]Ramiro--I'll see you for thanksgiving, I hope.[/QUOTE]Start planning. I'll be there too.
I'm sure this year you will turn on the AC ahead of time. ;)
Hey probably bring my chinese girlfriend so she can experience the American tradition. Looking forward to eating too much.

Are you ready for some Football, Hookers and TURKEY DINNER?
It sounds like a good idea to me!
If I can wing this deal then we can throw a little Thanksgiving Dinner party at the restaurant.
I'm going to need a certain number of reservations to pull it off though.
Kick it around boys. We have (2) weeks to do this.
A private party with closed doors to keep out the riff-raf. (read INSPECTORS)
Think About It!
