After paying $32 for a new york strip that was awful and having to wait over to an hour and a half to recieve it, I will never go back. I asked about the poor qualify of the steak and the waiter said that they only recieve their meat once a week. I guess Saturday wasn't a good day. Skip it. I've had better food at a BBQ in the park.
I lived in Argentina for 14 years, and the food provided at this restaurant is sooo far from the authentic Argentine foods... not recommended.

El Raigon must mean "Rude" in Spanish
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/28/06
Actually, that's a joke. I speak Spanish, and I know how to say "rude".

The food is not nearly good enough to make up ...
Montana grass-fed beef has a better texture and taste than any other beef I've had -- and El Raigon's methods of preparation are exquisite and delicious. I would make a special trip to eat here.

Fantastic steaks grilled over charcoal & wood. Extremely tasty! For dessert & a great treat, make sure to order the panqueques con dulce (crepes filled with homemade dulce de leche). Don't split it cause you'll be fighting over the last bite!

Excellent Food, Great Deserts, amateur service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/12/04
It's hard to find a good steak in San Francisco, finally there is a place that knows that starting with high quality beef is the way to do it. Only complaints: Ordered Beef Rare, but it was more medium rare Servers are nice and polite but lack experience
