I visited on a Wednesday night 2 hours before closing and it was empty which was nice. The appetizers such as the burrata and the shrimp were delicious and I would order them again. I also recommend the skirt steak however the tomahawk was different from the one I’ve had at another restaurant. I was expecting the drinks to taste amazing but I wasn’t blown away. - M

What is Worth Choosing

When visiting Libertador, the choice should focus on embracing the restaurant’s specialty as a premier Argentinian steakhouse. Start your meal with the highly recommended Empanadas, perhaps the ham and cheese variety, which are described as “delicious” and perfect for sharing. For an appetizer that showcases the kitchen's flair, consider the popular Burrata or the Shrimp In Garlic.

The true centerpiece, however, is the grill. For a memorable experience, the Mixed Grill For 2 is an excellent choice, offering a variety of the restaurant’s expertly prepared meats. If you prefer a single cut, the Prime Skirt Steak (Entrana) is a fantastic, flavorful selection that is often praised. For those feeling particularly carnivorous, the impressive 22 oz Tomahawk Bone In Rib Eye Steak is available, though it's worth noting some customers have specific expectations for this cut. Every grilled dish is best enjoyed with their homemade chimichurri sauce.

For non-meat options or a hearty alternative, the Homemade Green Papardelle Bolognese is a universally loved comfort dish that is "soooooo good" according to local reviews. Finish the experience with the classic Argentine sweet treat: Dulce De Leche Crepes, providing the perfect sweet ending to your New York-Argentinian feast. The combination of the restaurant’s Cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and premium grilled fare makes Libertador a compelling and essential choice for dining in Brooklyn.
