Given the breadth of the menu at this big, brassy Argentinian steakhouse, it’s easy to miss one of the best dishes listed among one of nearly 20 sides: the quinoa mix with sautéed shiitake mushrooms and bits of fried plantains. The $8 dinner-only item is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, soft and crunchy. Pair it with a mixed grill ordered medium rare and you have a meal fit for a (South American) king.
