“Para mi gente, para toda la gente – For my people, for all the people.”

Born in Argentina to Uruguayan parents, Max Pineiro may have left Argentina for Australia as a child, but his homeland has never truly left him. Arriving on Aussie shores, Max grew up in New South Wales in a South American neighbourhood. Max’s family and community still carried on their traditions – and, most importantly, still cooked the Argentinian way.

In Argentina, preparing an asado, or barbecue, is not just cooking meat, it’s a way of life. Here at El Asador we bring this tradition alive in our cosy neighbourhood parrillada. We fire up our giant parrilla with locally sourced wood for that authentic smoky flavour and cook from our range of specialty meat cuts, chorizo and chimichurri sauces. We serve these with our extensive range of entrees, salads, pastries and sweets, which we prepare by hand using local ingredients.
