{ "ambassador" : [{"author_name" : "Elizabeth and Nelson", "rating" : 5, "body" : "With Juan and Marina's Argentinean Asado, you can expect an authentic South American experience. Juan has great culinary experience, both in Argentina and Colombia and this really shines through his cooking. They are both foodies with a passion for combining flavors; you will be able to lend a hand in kneading dough for homemade Choripan, observe and learn how to slow cook tender meats on a BBQ as well as cook your own Arepas. You will also try a homemade desert with the delicious Dulche De Leche. Throughout this experience you will gain valuable knowledge of Argentinean cooking and the current Buenos Aires buzzing food scene. Juan and Marina are very friendly and welcoming and enjoy hosting like minded travelers. They are a wealth of knowledge for travel, food and culture. My favorite food experience so far in Argentina!"}], "survey_monkey" : [{"author_name" : "taazworld", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Juan & Marina exceeded any expectation we could have ever imagined. From the moment we met them, we were instant friends. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and made us feel as though we were old friends. They were so informative in teaching us new cuts of meat, types of wood, techniques and their cultural past-time. We talked, we laughed, we ate for hours and learned how the traditional Asado was prepared and presented. The food and wine were amazing. Every course was just as good as the one before. The flavors were incredible. Juan's Colombian twist added a new dimension to the Asado as well as some of their Colombian appetizers. Juan & Marina showed us how to make panchoripan which we had never had before. Juan taught us the proper way to start the parrilla with woods we are now dreaming of. We were so inspired that we have taken a new approach to the way we BBQ and the Argentine cuisine. We hope to build an Argentine parrilla in our backyard and entertain our friends with an Asado experience like the one we experienced in their home. Thank you so very much Juan and Marina for not only an unforgettable evening but for the recipes and the ongoing culinary advice. We hope to meet you again someday!

Juan & Marina had a beautiful home and were exceptional hosts who made us feel like we had been life long friends. We learned how to cook traditional Asado as well as making authentic chimichurri and a few other delicious items. The steak we had was hands down the most delicious steak we had our ENTIRE time in Argentina. With Juan & Marina's impeccable hospitality, delicious food and beautiful home I would not hesitate to book this experience again with them. It feels as if I've made lifelong friends."}, {"author_name" : "Matt522", "rating" : 5, "body" : "After two weeks of exploring Argentina, we were lucky enough to be welcomed into Juan and Marina's beautiful home. It was as if we had known them for years, It was the first time in Argentina we were able to dig deeper into the cuisine than just indulging. As Juan has an extensive background in gastronomy and Marina in hospitality, and they both have a strong understanding of the English language (as well as a few other languages), they explained the importance of each step in the process and were able to give hints of how to take the dish to the \"next level\". Eating local cuisine is always the recommended way to experience the local culture (we did a lot), but Juan's empanadas were the best empanadas we had in Argentina. I am so happy we were able to enjoy this lovely night and recommend Juan and Marina to anyone that is in Buenos Aires!"}, {"author_name" : "michelev952", "rating" : 5, "body" : "Juan and Marina were very welcoming and so interesting. Their home was lovely and was well worth the ride out to San Isdero. Bring your appetite as they had a traditional pizza and sausage appetizers to start and three different grilled meats with all the sides which were delicious. Dessert was homemade flan with Dulce de leche which melted in your mouth. .I highly recommend spending an evening with them. If possible, your first evening in town as they gave us wonderful suggestions of restaurants and activities for our stay."}, {"author_name" : "sourenn2019", "rating" : 5, "body" : "During our staying in Buenos Aires, my wife after the detailed search found this venue for us.
