El Caminito is a mall restaurant with just about three tables. According to its site, there are occasional live performances.

In summary, this restaurant has good food, small portions and is expensive.

We were a party of four including a Spaniard and an Argentinian.

The menu is limited but authentic. The wine selection is reduced and only offers Argentinian products. They are expensive too. The house wine was not worth the price (we order half a bottle and did not need more--that shows that we did not enjoy it too much).

 Some of us ordered a very Argentinean meal: bife de chorizo - a kind of grilled beef steak. The meat was good and nicely cooked, but the portion small. Definitely not Argentinean size. The price was also high for that size (Y 3500). Another member of the party ordered Morcilla. It was good in size and texture, but saying whether it was the real thing is difficult, as there are as many morcillas as families or villages in the country.

As an entrée we ordered empanadas to share. Again, good but pricy.

The service was attentive and correct - native Spanish speakers. No complaint in that regard. We could not get a jug of water and had to order mineral water. A silly and unpleasant detail.

They have the menu written in Spanish, English and Japanese. Just to finish thr review, the Spanish text in the website is very poorly written, although the type of mistakes it shows are most likely made by a native Spanish speaker.
