Was craving a steak on a Saturday night and this was the only place open after 11 p.m. so we decided to give it a shot. It was the end of the night so you can tell the place was winding down. I wouldn't know if it was crowded or not because of the few tables left that were trying to pay there bill.
Service was terrible. Had to hunt down waiter basically for a soda refill. Granted it was the end of the night, we were ordering steaks and going to tip so we shouldn't have been ignored.
We both ordered the Filet Mignon. I got fries with them that were nothing special just regular french fries. The Filet was a big cut but didn't have much taste and was definitely cooked more then the 'medium' I asked for. I ate most of it because i was starving and dying for a steak all day. It wasn't tough to chew or anything but it didn't have much taste. I'm sure there are other good things on the menu people enjoy, and it was late at night so i know the cooks want to leave, but I couldn't see the steak being much better even earlier in the day. Next time I will tend to my craving before 11pm so I can get a real steak elsewhere. But as I said, some of the other menu items looked very good so this is just a rating of the filet i had and the service.
Wow….words cannot describe how much I really enjoyed this place. The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the hot bread is to die for. I put butter and then on top of that their chimichurri sauce. Talk about melting in your mouth.
The avacado salad was amazing. Definitely filling with the bread so if you go be prepared to eat.
My BF and I shared the mix grill for 1 and talk about a lot of food.
Only disappointing part of the meal was the banana crepe which was in too much rum. Yes I said too much rum. Sorry just not that big on the alcohol and felt that the taste of the rum stood out more then the dessert.
Other then that I would recommend to all and can't wait to head there again next time I am NJ.
The 'rents let me take them out for lunch on the condition that they chose the spot. That's how I ended up at La Fusta. This place has managed to remain hidden as it is located in a somewhat seedy-looking part of North Bergen near hardware stores and metal works. Step inside though and you are suddenly in a red-brick countryside Spanish cottage.
The food here is outstanding. I ordered the filet minon medallions in mushroom sauce, and the parilla. The parilla is a dish of grilled meats literally piled on to more grilled meats. The portion they served us was just staggering. That dish is easily enough to feed 2 people, maybe even 3. Its a feast on a plate! The filet medallions were just as impressive. The mushroom sauce was magnificent. Additionally the sauce soaks into all the veggies giving them even more flavor.
All the meats were juicy, savory, and overall delicious. They have a different take on french fries where they add some ground up dried greens along with olive oil to the fries. I didn't think I'd like it but I was wrong, it was great.
Best of all, the prices are EXTREMELY reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food you get. I was expecting the bill to be MUCH more than what we ended up paying, and we ordered alcohol as well. This place certainly qualifies as "Bueno, Bonito, y Barato."
I love this Argentinian Grill full service bar and restaurant! Excellent grilled meats and sausages. The steaks are to die for! Seasoning is perfect//grilled to perfection.
Great ambience– families, date nights, diverse, clean, sports TV futbol in the background. I crave their steak at least once month.. The early bird gets the parking, but the staff will make you happy.
Has a mishap with a busboy who dropped dishes with food on me as he walked behind my table, it was shocking, cold, messy but thankfully not anything serious. The manager was more than apologetic, as was the server and busboy. We were comped a full meal from delicious sangria, to a salad course, I always like the mixed watercress. The dressing is perfect. Then to 1/2 portion of skirt steak-_more than enough- I have half of that in my refrigerator now awaiting two over easy eggs in the morning. My wife enjoyed spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli with red sauce and a delicious Argentinian Pinot Grigio.
We both savored the taste of flan soaked in caramel sauce and two frothy cappuccinos. All comped from management. The meal was well worth the ruined blouse.
I will keep going back–
We walked right over from the Comfort Inn to La Fusta. It takes longer to walk down the stairs of the hotel than it takes to walk to the restaurant.
Do not be overwhelmed by the menu. The food reminded us of a Brazilian Steakhouse without the gaucho chefs walking around. If you are not sure what to order, get the La Fusta (American Mix) for Two. It will give you a sample of everything on the menu. It came with a pork chop, two sausages, two skirt steaks, grilled chicken, and two beef ribs. All this food, a few beers, their amazing bread/basil dip, and tip will run you less than $80.
The location of this place is a MESS, but I am telling you , once you get in, Damn, it is heaven.
I have been to a bunch of these type restaurants across the US. This one is right there with any of them. The quality of the meat was phenomenal, the flavor and taste was off the charts. The price for what you get is FANTASTIC !
The only ding is what a few other have stated, the service is a little light. I am not overly saying it is bad, but we were one of only a few people in there and they did serve us a little slow and were not overly attentive.
However, you are going here to eat some meat, you will not be disappointed at ALL !
On my next trip to NJ, I am stopping in for sure !
OK, this place's surroundings look totally sketch – overgrown weeds in a lot of places, the restaurant is off this pseudo-highway… WHO KNEW? Who knew this place would actually turn out surprisingly decent!
Their lunch specials are awesome. You can get full here easily for under $10 for lunch. 3 empanadas (meat and/or spinach) for $6.00, grilled chicken for $7, pasta for $7… yea. In this area where I'm just expecting to pay $10+ for lunch, this place's prices for lunch pleasantly surprised me.
Now onto the actual taste: bread is no good here, boo…felt the bread was a bit too dry for my taste. However, the chicken dish I ordered was NOT DRY (!) and the juicy chicken pieces were flavored marvelously!! They grilled it just right so that in certain pieces you can taste the grilled/smokey flavor, but it's not overwhelming. They serve this dish with a side of mashed potatoes (random!), which could have used a little more butter/salt.
Wine was so cheap here! My friend ordered a bottle of Merlec red wine for only $15 (for three of us).
I also got flan dessert, which had this awesome glob of caramel next to it (delicious!). I felt the actual flan was soaked in sugary syrup for a bit too long, so I didn't finish the dessert.
Anyway, I never knew about Argentine cuisine, and I guess this won't be the last of it, if this restaurant is any indication of what Argentine cuisine is like. Bravo, La Fusta.
I like going here in the winter to get my bbq on when I can't bbq at home. I always get the same main dish that I share with my wife: the La Fusta single portion, which is a few different kinds of meats. The meat is pretty good, but nothing artisinal or special. But for the price ($25) you get a really good amount of tasty meat. The atmosphere is fun, but we tend to go early when it 's rather empty.
