Amazing place! Lovely meat and handcut kumara chips. Definitely come again and.recommend to friends.
Delicious steaks, possibly the largest T-bone steak I've ever seen - cooked to perfection. Shirt rib was very tasty and authentic. Suggest this restaurant for anyone who enjoys great steak
Churros were to die for. Everything was yummy, thanks.
Nice place, friendly staff and good portions, we ordered Tbone and ribs. The ribs were really good and the Tbone was good but average the salad and the chips were pretty average too.
I really enjoy the areas and the food was good.
Very nice, friendly staff. :)
We've been wanting to try this place for ages and were floored. The food was great value for money 👌 the service was great 👍. Will definitely be back :)
Delicious food will be back again.
It smells good, and tastes excellent, I like it very much
Absolutely delicious. First time trying empanadas and they had so much fillings, and it was nice and juicy. Service was really nice and helpful too. Will definitely come back again.
SOOOOO amazing... authentic woodsmoke flavours..meat fell off the bone...the funky music created an atmosphere that was fun,relaxed and sung Saturday avo. Our host was lovely: we were interested to learn the boutique steak sizzler doubled as meat curer/deli ... Take homes! Yay!
Amazing place. Loved the food, service and atmosphere. Will be back
Used to check the Posonby store, but this one is more convenient with larger indoor spaces. Meat is as good as usual, tasty & juicy. Being surprised that we can have the dinner on dinner time punctucally as no need to wait the Q. Heaps of seats can be seved.
Nice staff and really good meat. We ordered scotch fillet and short ribs, both were really good. Definitely we'll try other things on the menu.
On that day we went to have dinner at the restaurant 4 peoples and 2 of us had zomato gold .We would like to order Sirloin but wasn’t enough for 4 sets and finally we had to change to the other menus.So,everyone tried Scotch Fillet instead but that menu was really nice 👍🏻 My partner give here to be the best steak for him so far and he was really enjoyed with the meal so much :) We will back to the restaurant again soon*
Beautiful meat beautiful restaurant and love their staff. Food quality is very consistent. Been here many times and never had a bad time. Recommend!!!
Amazing steak will definitely be back for the steak! It takes a bit longer for the food to be served but thats totally understandable since the steak is cooked traditionally on charcoal which gives it amazing superb taste to the steak. Highly recommended!
We were happy to use zomato gold to have my favorite steak here. And we paid one and get one free. The steak portion was so big. And the customer service was very friendly.
Really decent place to go for a steak or steak sandwich. Causal environment and its cool being able to see the chefs preparing your food on a charcoal bbq
Starters were delicious and a great start to the meal. The croquettes were a particular favourite. Meats were cooked perfectly. Staff were friendly and made the atmosphere lovely.
We ordered a scotch fillet and a sirloin steaks and both of them were well made. The scotch fillet was delicious and the way how was cooked was perfect Thanks to all staff for the great food and service.
Soooo surprised this place was almost dead on a Tuesday night. Went here before the boyzone concert!! Had the 300g sirloin steak which was priced at $35 it came with a great cooked steak garlic butter and a salad (leaves) not for me due to my personal preferences. I had to order fries on the side cause who has steak without fries right...... the steak was medium rare and cooked perfectly, the fat was rendered well the garlic butter must have been mixed with some chimmichuri which was great! The fires almost seemed thrice cooked soft and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside and it came with a creamy aoili. Next time I’ll make it a point to try one of the sandwiches
Friendly staff, delicious steaks! Very fast service . Especially excited that the kumara chips were nice and crunchy. Would recommend to everyone!
First time visiting the K Road branch. It was mostly pleasant.
I find that the branch in Ponsonby has a better atmosphere but it always gets too hot since we’re sitting so close to the flames and where the food’s made.
Service was good. The server was super fast (prob cus we were the only table lol). You do need to wait a bit for the food to come out tho cus they have to make it from scratch.
Lamb ended up coming out bleeding. I love a bleeding steak but almost-raw lamb tastes like like plastic. Ended up taking it home and cooking it ourselves.
Other than the raw lamb, no complaints.
Food is good, beef ribs a bit tough. Service guy is over friendly makes my family feel a bitembracing lol but nice atmosphere tho. Will come back to try others
Small restaurant but they do what Argentinan's do best. I.e bbq meat. Surprisingly their black pudding was really good too with nice flavour as usually I'm not a fan of blood and offal based dishes.
It's also nice that they're a butcher and you can buy the different cuts they serve too.
This place is always and continues to be fantastic. The food was tasty and kept me curious to know what that last ingredient was. This is not something you could make at home unless you had a magical skill of knowing what random things taste good together.
Reasonable pricing for decent sized meals and sides. The menu is straightforward with lots of entree and sides options which are great for sharing. The empanadas are delicious and an exceptional size.
I like how they are so bed on wooden boards and they have recommended wine matches with the meals.
4 of us came on Friday evening. Overall Great food and service, we enjoy it! It is good value for the food, and the meat were cooked perfectly median rare, will come back again.
A few days ago we found this place by chance while walking down K rd looking for for lunch and what a find it was. The wood fire used for cooking infused the place with an enjoyable smoke that just increased our appetites. The atmosphere created is rustic and super cool. The woman who took our order was extremely helpful in a genuine way as we are novices in our experiences of Argentinian food. She explained the menu to us so well. I had the Bondiolita which was divine and hand cut chips which were super crunchy and definitely hand made. My work mate had a super thick soup/stew which was packed with meat and full of flavour. It was a terrific lunch and we will be back. To all the staff thank you for opening our palates to the wonderful food of Argentina. PS They have a small butchery cabinet section that reminds you of small town old school NZ butcheries which Auckland CBD really needs.
A warm and friendly greeting to a casual relaxing atmosphere. We shared the parallida platter. Everything was cooked as it should be and nicely presented. The recommended wine match was perfect. We are looking forward to going back.
Came here for lunch on a weekend using a voucher, the food was to die for. The steak was cooked to our liking. The atmosphere was so vibrant. The food is worth the money you pay for it. Definately would be back again
Came here for dinner on an afternoon. The place is situated in a nice area for K.road. It's located alongside a bar and across from an amazing cookie and milkshake place, so if you're looking for dessert definitely try moustache as well! The food is as expected of a brazilian style grill. The prices are normal (upward of just over $30 dollars plus for certain cuts of meat). I ordered the $20 special, which was a fair sirloin steak, cooked well and with a decent enough side salad. They had a number of sauces you could choose with the steak, but you have to ask otherwise you will get something standard. I personally love the chimichurri on my steak! We also ordered a side of veges, which was pretty standard and enjoyable. It gets a 4 from me due to giving me what i expected and being a good location. It's an easy enough place to find a parking also which helps.
Food. Casual. Tasty. El Sizzling Lomito is a diamond in the rough. Located in a small shared venue (a ménage à trois to be precise); the wood fire grill proves to be the centrepiece of zest, affect, and precision. The steak is perfectly cooked (I ordered medium-rare) and delivers on all levels. The empanadas are to die for; perhaps the best in Aotearoa. Be sure to try the different sauces (chimichurri-mayo and chipotle aoli were fabulous). El Sizzling Lomito is a perfect find for great food at manageable prices. I highly recommend this place for any steak, latin, or food lover.
This place has been a pleasant surprise. I am surprise the rating is not higher. We booked first table and ordered a few things. We had two steaks, one chicken sandwich, empanadas and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly but needed a bit more seasoning. The chicken sandwich is delicious. The bread is amazing. The fries is yummy too but wish it was bigger.. For first table, its a total bargain.
Good spot for meat lovers. If it is your first time there I would recommend the first share plates as it includes almost everything. The portion for that share plates as I reckoned should be perfect for two people and the pork belly and steak are totally a spot on within all choices. I'm not a big fan of pork belly but they have so far one of the best pork belly I've tried in Auckland. Full of flavour and not greasy. My friend found the dumpling pretty good and the sausage a little bit salty. Overall, pretty good food and nice service :)
Dined here with my partner for dinner. This eatery is fairly small & it was pretty busy being a Saturday night, I would suggest booking a table online prior to visiting. The service was pretty average, we waited a long time for drinks & others who ordered after us were served their drinks first. The food on the other hand was excellent! My partner & I shared the chorizo, caparcio & sirloin steak with some hand cut chips as a side. The wait for food was reasonable & all of the meat was cooked perfectly, we thoroughly enjoyed all of our dishes. The prices are also very reasonable. If your a keen meat eater like my partner is this is a perfect place for a casual meal.
Everything about this restaurant was perfect. All of the staff were helpful and extremely friendly, the food was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere is like no other restaurant in Auckland, trendy and very cultural. I will be going back without a doubt! I would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. 💃😎👍❤️
The Food was AMAZING!! The staff was very kind and helpful. Food came fast was not waiting long at all. It was very cool to watch the flames of the wood burning oven they have there. You can watch the Chefs prepare your meal right in front of your eyes...its an art. Very great atmosphere and great prices 5/5 for me :)
What a great place to come for a yummy non greasy steak sandwich .... fresh ingredients not smothered in sauce. Friendly service...
We got:
Steak Lomito
Bondiolita
Both very delicious
El Sizzling Lomito is a beautiful restaurant. I have to say that it was so nice sitting at the bar in front of the Argentinian barbecue, with the fire warming us up. If you are a meat lover, this is definitely a good place to go. The menu have really good and interesting choices. The food was well cooked, and it was nice chatting with the chef while he was cooking. Overall, cool trendy place; a must for good Argentinian meat!
I've been here twice now, the first time I was blown away. I had ordered the lamb sandwich which was amazing. Super crispy bread, delicious fillings and that chimichurru sauce is so delicious. The second time I had come (with friends! to share how amazing it was!) I ordered a pork sandwich which was pretty good but nowhere near as good as the lamb. My friend ordered a steak sandwich which was surprisingly underwhelming. It needed to be...beefier? Maybe the lamb sandwich has just wrecked all their other sandwiches for me but it felt like it was missing something. My partner ordered their special of the day which was polenta with osso bucco and that was pretty good. Kind of what your mum might make you for dinner after watching a few episodes of Masterchef.
Overall, I enjoyed it and would totally come back here if just to eat their lamb sandwich.
Great spot on Friday evening after work . friendly staff and good food .we both had steaks which were very tasty and cooked well most importantly . great wines to match reasonable for steak priced though add sides as they will be needed I'll be back again when the meat mood strikes
Not a bad feed for $15, good to watch them cook the meal. the guy who served us was good and polite. would go again another day and try something different.
Firewood BBQ, natural and rustic flavors. Everything perfectly seasoned, no additives or artificial sauces, fresh veggies salad, real hand-cut fries. If you have never been in Argentina before, this is a remote food travel cause it taste exactly the same at home :) Excellent quality meat and perfect price for it. Attention: welcoming and friendly staff. It's just perfect, perfect, perfect. Thanks guys! It was a pleasure and definitely its my favorite place in NZ.
The sandwiches here were tasty. We have just returned from traveling in South America and it brought back lots of pleasant memories of the trip. We had the grand lomito and the pork fillet lomito
Amazing sandwich, everything tasted so fresh and cooked to perfection. Only downside was the waiting time for the sandwich, took a bit longer than expected!
When D and N came to Auckland a few weeks ago, I knew where I wanted to take them for dessert. So I thought I'd take them to dinner next to the dessert place, so conveniently placed. Good thing that they happened to stay close by for the night, so we could walk over. It had been a series of long flights for them from the other side of the world. After a little stretch of the legs, I hoped that they wouldn't fall asleep on top of their food.
Stopped by here for lunch. It was quite busy so we did have to wait a bit before we were able to get seating. Once seated we were given menus and had orders taken in a timely manner.
Don't let the names of the lomitos scare you, all I did was see what meat they had on the inside to make a decision. Aside from the items on the menu they also had special meals. I tried the bondiolita, the pork lomito.
The bread was toasted really well so gave a really nice crunch over the smoky, juicy meat. Really nice and fresh. Would gladly come back to try the other items on the menu.

Tried out this place with my manager after a long day since it is right next to our work place.
The place was romantically lit,and stylishly decorated, you could definitely tell they spent quite a fortune on interior design.
Having not done my research on this place before hand, we were quite shocked that sandwiches were the pretty much the only items offered on the menu (we were quite hungry), but we decided to stay anyway. Thankfully we did - these are not your everyday sandwiches. The serving sizes were HUGE, not to mention incredibly delicious. My vegetarian sandwich was filled with a yummy vege patty, melted cheese, beautifully roasted beetroots and capsicum, pickled onions which added some sharpness to the flavours, and a creamy dressing to balance it all out. Even the bread they used was very decent with a nice crusty outside, with a firm yet fluffy texture! Even my manager, who normally does not care much for food, thoroughly enjoyed it.
The person serving us was friendly yet attentive. This is the kind of place that just has such a nice and easy vibe to it, that I would definitely return to again.
This is the cut down version of El Sizzling Chorizo catering for us kids with smaller appetite than the big bone eaters at the Ponsonby branch, i ordered the Lamb Cordero and karma cola there, the crunchy roll had rocket, blue cheese, caramelized onions and cooked pears, was a bit raw then again should have ask for medium grill when ordering.
Always wanted to go to the original branch but is always packed therefore glad i came to this one instead.
We headed here today for lunch. The menu is made up of different sandwich and burger options, I had the chicken and bacon sandwich and my friend had the squid burger with fries. My sandwich was yum with the crumbed chicken being perfectly crunchy! Love the new space!
Wow so delicious! We had the T bone steak which was cooked perfectly and had a great smokey flavour. The service was friendly and the food was fresh and tasty! Great atmosphere with a live band for a social night. This place is a find on k road! The portion sizes are right and it's good value. The meat is relatively expensive, $38 for a T bone but it's good quality and I would have to pay more elsewhere for a cut like this. There are lots of good side options but possibly could do with a few other snack options. So yum and can't wait to go back!
We had medium rare scotch fillet it was well cooked and so delicious. The entree chorizo was sooo good! The salad came with it was fresh as you could tell straight away! Chilled environment with great service. Highly recommended to anyone who would love to try Argentinian food!
Me again, your loyal customer. This time I brought another friend and try this new shop. Still my favourite short ribs and kumara chips. They are worthy our waiting （a bit long）. The Chinese waiter provided great service.
I also gave 5 stars in your Zomato page. Hope to help you guys reach higher rating.
Came by for lunch cause we were wanting tasty meats. It is located inside the K'Rd Food Workshop and hard to miss with its large embering stove behind the counter. It wasn;t too busy when we arrive so we were seated and given menus promptly and able to order when we were ready.
The biggest difference from what I can remember is that they didn't use to sell (as much) meats. They now have a cabinet in the back with a range of different meaty goodies. The lomito was delicious as always. The milanesita (fried lamb tenderloins) were a bit over cooked though so they were a bit bland, but the sauce that came with it made it tasty.
Nice place for a quick place to grab some tasty food.

Ditch the vegetarian friends and head to this meaty place. Argentinian BBQ all the delicious meat on offer and cooked over nice wood fired Coles for authentic flavours. The empanadas are divine the short ribs were outstanding accompanied with deep fried potatoes, delicious.
Great little place tucked into a small food court on K Rd. Had the Pulled Beef Burger which was very tasty. Finished our meal with the Churros!! Good times. Staff are also good & attentive.
Excellent food! I was surprised by steak quality, which was melting in mouth. Charcoal grilled lamb, beef and sausages are the must try!
Very friendly, providing prompt service with good advice on the Argentinian wine list. We both have the steak which was very good with a very fresh salad and the side of potatoes was delicious.
Had dinner here last week and the food was definitely worth the wait! We had the Parrillada para 2 and the meat was cooked to perfection! Service was a little slow but as I said - we’ll worth the wait!
I have multiple food allergies and they fed me safely without any fuss. Dinner was relaxing. I had the gf lamb which went really well with the Temperanillo.
Friendly service and amazing food! Everything tasted amazing, and the churros we had for dessert were the best churros I've had in NZ. Recommended!
100% good old fashioned service and steak that's cooked over genuine wood fired char embers which has the wood fired taste good relaxing meal
Stumbled across this delicious restaurant the other day for lunch and was surprised by the high quality of the food! I ordered the Bandiolita sandwich and my boyfriend got the special meatball sandwich. We also ordered a side of the onion rings. Both sandwiches were absolutely gorgeous! We ordered 2 beers and it all came to a very reasonable price! Staff were super friendly and service was quick. It's safe to say we will be returning.
Beautiful meat and a great experience
Came here with a small group of work colleagues. We all got their burgers, I just got the normal cheese burger. It was nice, the fries were great too, but the burger was just dripping oil all over the place, was a surprising amount too. The other menu options look nice, would come back to try more.
Staff members are friendly and the meats are very yummy; unfortunately, the black pudding is a little bit under-par. The sauces are good and really complement the meats. Just have to be aware that the food can take a long time to arrive; their time-frame is 20 minutes.
