The decor at La Fiesta has changed again, with guitars and huge cowhides now hanging on the walls. Solid wooden tables are hefty enough to hold the braziers of hot coals that are brought to table by pleasant waitresses.

The menu is now billed as Mexican rather than Argentinian, but it hasn’t changed substantially and remains that of a South American grill (hence, you won’t find mole, tacos or tortillas). To start, there are empanadas, chorizo and soups, but most diners head straight for the complimentary salad and the meat: entrecôte steaks or asado ribs for beef lovers; tender lamp chops or a brochette of mixed cuts – all sizzling hot and with appetising aromas.

Portions are more than generous; chips just so. There’s grilled chicken for those who don’t want red meat; salmon or sea bass for fish eaters; but this is no place for vegetarians (vegetable dishes are limited to indifferent onion and pepper skewers or mushrooms in wine sauce). The main deal is the meat: charred outside, succulent within. Desserts include crêpes with parev ice-cream, but to our minds it would be better to end with a refreshing glass of lemon tea.

Tip top. Best steak around. The Time Out critic is spot on - Agree the chips are disappointing and lemon tea needs to be added to menu. Don't forget the tooth picks. But overall great experience. Our three boys' favourite kosher restaurant in Europe (they're as picky as they come and know the competition).

The Chef has been grilling meats for over 40 years now, really understands a steak. Prices arent cheap, but if you are willing to spend some money this is the place for a solid kosher meal. Authentic south American food. Cant wait to go back

If you're going for a kosher steak, this is the best around. Nice, thick cuts, cooked actually to order (as opposed to the standard 'medium' you get in mots kosher restaurants nevermind what you ask for) and very juicy. Quite expensive, but come to expect that from Kosher establishments. As GoonerEll says, practically nothing for vegetarians, but it is a steakhouse after all.

"Little for vegetarians"? Even the chips are cooked in beef fat. As far as I could see, the only option for veggies is a "salad". My mates love it, as they are all carnivores, but they know better than to invite me.
