11. Do you serve pork? What if some guest don’t eat pork?
Our Ultimate Asado Experience features a variety of traditional Argentine meats, which may include select pork items such as chorizo. However, we are happy to accommodate guests who choose not to eat pork.
If you or your guests prefer a pork-free experience, we can customize the menu accordingly. From the starters to the main asado boards, we offer a wide selection of beef, chicken, seafood, and vegetarian options that ensure no cross-contamination with pork ingredients. Just let us know in advance, and we’ll tailor the menu to meet your group’s needs—without compromising flavor or presentation.

We always have a plan! Since the magic of our authentic Asado happens over an open fire, it must be done outdoors. If the weather takes a turn, we come prepared with backup options to ensure your event runs smoothly.
We can arrange for protective tents or adjust the event layout to create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere, even in less-than-perfect weather. Whether it's rain or shine, we’ll work closely with you to make sure the Asado experience remains extraordinary for you and your guests.
