Sabor Argentino delivers a passionate slice of Buenos Aires to the West Village with authenticity and warmth that’s hard to resist.

This cozy corner spot feels like stepping into a neighborhood parrilla in Argentina, with its rustic wooden tables, vintage photos, and the unmistakable aroma of meat sizzling on the grill. What makes Sabor truly special is their mastery of fire – the steaks arrive with that perfect char that gives way to juicy, tender meat cooked exactly to your specification. Their entraña (skirt steak) might be the best in the city, especially when paired with their house chimichurri that strikes the ideal balance between herbaceous and garlicky.

Beyond the beef, don’t miss their empanadas with flaky, golden crusts that shatter delicately with each bite. The wine list celebrates Argentina’s vineyards without breaking the bank, featuring excellent Malbecs that complement the robust flavors of the food perfectly.

What’s most compelling about Sabor is how genuinely welcoming it feels – the staff treat you like family whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. There’s an unhurried authenticity here that’s increasingly rare in Manhattan restaurants. While not as flashy as some of the city’s steakhouses, Sabor Argentino offers something more valuable – a soul-satisfying meal that transports you to South America without leaving the village.
