Pork chicharrón to share in Bella Vista

Dinner before the party

The plan that never fails on Calle Uruguay: arrive, share some food, have a couple of drinks and, when the group gets going, you're already where the party will be. Eating well before you go out makes the night last longer.

Kitchen hours

Q'Paso Ayer's kitchen is open Wednesday to Saturday, 6:00 pm to 3:00 am. That means you can eat from the early after-work hours all the way to the small hours, no rush — perfect for dinner before you go out or a craving after the dance floor.

The signature dishes

The must-tries: the Q'Paso Ayer Chicharrón (300 g of crispy pork rib with plantain), the grilled skirt steak with chimichurri, the Tortillas with beef, chicken or chicharrón, and the Buffalo Wings. In a group? The Wings Platter — 30 wings in three sauces — is made for the table.

What to order at Q'Paso Ayer

To nail the order: start with something to pick at (mini empanadas, tequeños or wings), move to a shareable main like the skirt steak or the tortillas, and pair it with house cocktails from $7.50. In a group, the Wings Platter (30 wings, three sauces) is the table's star.

Grill and mains

When you're really hungry: imported grilled skirt steak, grilled salmon, grilled chicken and a mixed-meat platter. Proper portions to set the night before you keep going.
