El Viejo Almacén

An outstanding experience from start to finish! 🍝✨ The pasta was cooked to perfection, with a fresh and delicate texture that absorbed every bit of the tomato sauce. The sauce was rich, well-balanced, and bursting with authentic flavor. Every bite reflected the quality of the ingredients and the care put into its preparation. Simple in appearance, yet incredibly flavorful and elegant. Beyond the amazing food, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and highly professional, making sure every detail of our dining experience was enjoyable. From the warm welcome to the final moments of our meal, we felt genuinely cared for and appreciated. I highly recommend this restaurant. If you’re looking for delicious pasta paired with outstanding service, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I will absolutely be coming back! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🍷🍝

Note if you make a reservation that there are 2 locations so check you have the right one. Two stories of indoor dining with AC and some outdoor tables. Would be nice if they put up some plants or a movable wall to block the car headlights from shining in your eyes for the outdoor seats. Food itself was flavorful and well made.

My fettuccine arrived clumped together and cold. While the staff attempted to fix the issue by bringing a replacement, it was still bland and disappointing. My husband got a ribeye and ordered it medium rare that also came well done but was at least cooked right second time around. He was still displeased at the lack of seasoning and had to wash it with chimichurri to save the steak. Given the price, the quality did not meet expectations.

Beautiful restaurant with a great ambiance! We came as a party of 4 and shared two plates of the Milanesas Argentinas - the Florentina and the Romano. It was plenty of food to share and it was delicious!! This item is what makes this restaurant worth trying!! The service was a little slow, and original wait times were high but it was the weekend so that was expected. Overall, I would return if I am back in SJ!

A somewhat hidden but splendid place. As a good Argentine restaurant, they welcome you with a lovely bread basket and a very well-seasoned spread. For starters, we went for one of the provoletas, which came with an abundant layer of chorizo underneath—honestly, it pleasantly surprised us, and because of that we decided to order one of the milanesas as our main. I think eating milanesas outside of Argentina is usually hit or miss, but this time it was a great experience. We shared the Romano beef milanesa, which comes topped with cheese, onions, and pancetta, accompanied by fried sweet potatoes (boniatos) The milanesa is big and sharing is easy since it comes as two pieces that you just separate. The meat and the breading were delicious. If I had to be picky, the only thing I’d change would be to reduce the oil just a bit. As good people that we are, no matter how full we were, we had to try something sweet and the coffees. For the sweet, we couldn’t decide between the chocotorta or the alfajor. We’re very grateful to the waitress for recommending the alfajor, because as you can see, it was a delight. The flavor is more similar to a cake filled with dulce de leche, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and topped with fruits that we absolutely loved. The place is beautiful, and the staff is very friendly, since it’s a bit on the pricey side, it would be a nice touch if they offered a complimentary coffee or something along those lines. Overall, our total came to a little over $100, but it felt like a special experience.
