Loved the food and great atmosphere. We went early and were given great attention. Their transfer rate was great - paid in US dollars, and you couldn't beat the value for money. Great value, great food, great venue - highly recommended.

Called in on speck while on my own in Buenos Aries. Good choice, sat by the bar soaked in the atmosphere and had a cracking meal served where I sat. Friendly staff, a good cross section of characters calling in. If you want a table get there early, it does get busy

We decided to go to Dada because it was close to our hotel. The place looks like a dive bar, but you can't judge the book by its cover here because the food is excellent. Wait staff was friendly and patient with me (non-Spanish speaker). We liked it so much that we considered going back again (but decided against it... More

we came here based on a recommendation from other fellow travellers we met. Maybe our expectations were too high or we ordered the wrong things on the menu but it ranks at the bottom of all the meals we had in Buenos Aires. We came here for lunch and ordered the top 2 Lomo choices (house specialties from what we... More

The place is abuzz with plenty of couples and those still in negotiations, good draft and nice menu, but dinner for 2 under $40 usd with a single drink hardly possible. For good general service and very attentive barman plus a cosmopolitan chef, that is a good value on my napkin.

We went to have coctails after good late dinner next door. This place was fun place to visit late nate and was well crowded with thirtysomethings having a drink or two with friends. I would reccommend to stop by if you happen to be in the neighborhood around mid-night,

We "found" Dada when we were looking for somewhere else. We'd already eaten, but decided to return the following evening, especially after reading the TA reviews. We were so happy we did - what a fun place. We sat at the bar whilst waiting for a table - lots of regulars there and everyone was very sociable and chatty. The... More

One of the best meals we had in BA! The lomo was absolutly incredible and the atmosphere intimate. Friendly staff and fun bartenders who made us the best mojitos we've had so far in south america. Strongly reccommended!
