"Upon entering the restaurant, I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious patio filled with tables under umbrellas and a lively interior. There were still plenty of tables available, so we quickly grabbed one. Good thing we did, as by the time we placed our order, the concert cancellation had sent the overheated, thirsty, and hungry crowds streaming in. You wouldn’t expect such a location to be so popular, but Made in Argentina is a fantastic choice, and I have a feeling their business is going to thrive, concerts or not.
This is great because their business model perfectly suits a delightful dining experience, featuring delicious entrees and friendly, attentive staff who feel like family, whether or not they actually are. They also have an excellent takeout and delivery menu that boasts a wide selection of empanadas and pizzas.
Of course, we had to start with the empanadas. I opted for the blue cheese and mushroom variety, which was rich and divine, while I convinced my husband to try something different and he enjoyed the corn and red pepper option instead of his usual ham and cheese. They came with three kinds of spiced chimichurri, and being a bit of a wimp when it comes to spice, I stuck to the mild variety, happily polishing off both my portion and my husband’s during the meal.
My inner voice urged me not to miss out on the potato salad, and it was absolutely right—deliciously homemade, loaded with veggies and creamy mayo, it was exactly what I craved. I also had a generous mixed veggie house salad on the side. My husband went for the chicken schnitzel platter, which was served with rice, hummus, a big basket of pita, and some sliced bread that we shared, along with a side salad. They serve the real deal with bottled Coca-Cola here.
I can only imagine their pizza is great, and the sandwiches looked amazing too, so we will definitely be returning. I won’t miss out on another helping of potato salad for sure and am looking forward to trying more items from the menu!"
