I've driven by this little place many times over the years and haven't really even noticed it. But a friend invited my wife, and my very first impression pulling into the parking lot was... well, sketchy. The parking lot is full of holes, and the exterior of the restaurant is in serious need of attention. However, once inside, I was greeted by the maître d' and noticed that the interior of the small dining area was pleasantly detailed - white table cloths and cloth serviettes - napkins. We choose to sit in their outdoor dining area. Which was a plus minus decision. The plus was that the evening was cool enough to sit out of doors and the season early enough that mosquitoes weren't an issue. The minus was that the restaurant sits on a very busy street and faces the toll road, so even though the interior surroundings and weather were accommodating, the exterior environment made it a real challenge to chat with each other.
The outdoor seating area would have a challenge passing a building inspection. The restaurant isn't accommodating for elderly or physically challenged guests as the parking isn't even, and it's not lit.
The food is just ok, not great for a place where the per person cost is well north of $30. The prices are commensurate with an Argentinian Steak House. But the Popeyes next door is more inviting. Our tab for two was well over a hundred with two drinks.
Overall, it was a really cool experience with our friends and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. But I won't return. I'd say the highlight of the evening was actually our young wait person. She was incredibly attentive, polite, cheerful, and most of all professional - all in short supply these days. She'll go far in life.

The restaurant is very special, fantastic vibe! But their business hour is wrong on their own website and Google. Now they are BY RESERVATION ONLY. Definitely make a reservation online or call ahead before you go. All 3 kinds of sausages are very tasty! Very impressed. Their chimichurri sauce really stands out. Pair your meat with provolone cheese appetizer and the legendary chimichurri sauce. My favorite part is the vibe, the light makes you feel very relaxed! You feel like being transferred to a whole new world. Good for family out or a romantic date.

I have been to Choo-Choo several times and I can say it is our favorite. If you know a thing about steak and sausages you will notice the quality and the dedication put into delivering high quality, authentic Argentinian taste. The staff is always nice and the owner sometimes goes around and introduces himself to make sure you ate having a great time.
The restaurant is small and cozy, with a relaxed vibe.
Is it pricey? Yes, but you are paying for quality.

The food was like a trip to Argentina itself—so authentic. Shoutout to Camila for making our night even better with awesome service. Definitely, recommend for a laid-back taste of Argentina!

First time visiting; the food was amazing! We had a beef empanada and a parrillada for two, then we ordered two churros (dulce de leche and crema pastelera) which were equally amazing. The owner and the waitress were very friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely go again.

This place hands down was the best. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. The meat was excellent and the chimi sauce was very flavorful. Definitely recommend and will come to visit.

1. Very personal and kind service. Waitress was so sweet and elegant. Owner was very welcoming and it simply felt like I was sitting in the garden of someone’s home. We sat in the patio and it was perfect! Both the owner and our lovely waitress (I apologize I forgot your name!) really did their best to make sure we had a pleasant experience!
2. Food was spectacular. Homemade pan, chimichurri, and chorizo. The provolone is straight from Argentina (aka the provoleta was amazing!) Everything was delicious!
3. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Orlando!
So pleased with this choice for dining!

Very cool restaurant, it's simple , rustic and homey. I'm always looking for the mom and pops owned restaurants and this is one!!. The food was awesome and liked every bit of it. I recommend the parrillada, a good sample of the meats. Owner came out to see how we liked everything. Girls were very efficient, nice and friendly.

Most say the service was great. Even the owner came out and greeted us and highlighted why we made a good choice of coming to them. The country style design is great. It makes you feel like you are in the country side of Argentina. The only reason I will give them a 5 star is because the price was too high for the portion they offered us. It does not match what you see in other pictures. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 of us do not eat meat and just came for drinks and apps, 3 of our kids just ate apps and juice. So we wanted to order 1 Parrillada for 2 just for 3 of us and the waitress suggested to order it for 4 because of the portion which costed $120 and what you see on the picture is what we got. I've been at other Argentinians steakhouses and got more portion, similar quality and for almost half the price. And we did not get morcilla on the Parrillada. I would probably come back but probably justnto dine in. If you are a group of people I would suggest checking other Argentinean steak house unless you are looking to drop some big bucks. Other than that it is a great place to be with a quite ambient. Better to not bring kids.

Great little restaurant. It's a hidden treasure. A bit pricey but great steaks and drinks. This is not a Kid friendly restaurant. They dont have a kids menu so we ordered pasta thinking you can't go wrong with that. It was awful!
Richard Maddalena
The food was amazing. It brought back memories of my last visit to Argentina. The atmosphere is what you would find in the countryside and I really appreciated that. The owner and his staff were very friendly. If you're looking for something different, that's not stuffy with amazing food, this is the place.
Astrid Martin
Awesome restaurant. I really enjoy my dinner. It's a great place to eat a great Argentinian beef. The service is the best and familiar environment make you feel comfortable. Portions are according with prices. I love it.
Alexandra Martinez
The most amazing steak dinner I've ever had in my life. It might not look like much from the outside but trust because this place is very much worth it to come and try. I'm definitely coming back! The food was outstanding and the waitress we had was very nice and answered the questions we had about the menu.

Brilliant food and very good service, while adhering to covid seating guidelines so my guest and I felt safe as well. It was my second time there, and there will definitely be a third.
