About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
The LaChona brand was born out of a love for sharing incredible wine with close friends and family. Ask any Argentinian what their favorite pastime is and they will likely say “asado con familia”, or grilling with the family. Slow-cooked lechon, fire-kissed chorizo, and hand-crafted empanadas born of generational influences and traditions are all paired with the perfect Malbec, Cabernet Franc, or Semillon every Sunday. This shared familial experience, this act of “pairing” family and fine dining, defines the essence of LaChona’s food and wine experience.

                          The empanadas and wines are delicious! Oh, and the desserts were lovely, not too sweet.

                          Wine selection and price was reasonable. But menu was not diverse enough. Everything is very much Empanada base. Salad and Dessert was awesome!

                          The food in general was underseasoned for my tastes. I had the arepas instead of the empanadas and they were lacking in flavor.

                          The empanadas are simple and fabulous. The restaurant reminds me of several quaint places in La Recoleta in Buenos Aires.

                          Service was great although it took a while to get our drinks. False advertising concerning gluten free empanadas. Not empanadas at all but corn cakes. My non gluten empanadas did not have enough filling for the amount of dough and the dough was dry. The chicken my husband ordered was dry and resembled a TV dinner chicken. Wine selection great. We will not return.

                          Used to enjoy when they were a food cart. This is the second time here and service was very slow with just a couple tables. I ordered the criolla empanada and did not have the filling as described and dry. I’m Argentinian and the chimichurri was dry too which is not normal. Last I saw our plates sitting on the counter which was confirmed when brought and the fries were tepid. Was excited to try again but sadly won’t be back.
