I went there twice and was appalled by the whole experience. Having lived in Argentina many years, I thought that Grand Casino embodied all that makes Argentine bakeries so special. However, this is not the case. The place is a mess. No care has been taken in creating a warm atmosphere. Tables and chairs are mismatched, the lighting is of a hospital white hue and the place feels utterly cold. Their food is tasteless. Their empanadas are dry and stale. Their coffee is watered down and tastes of days past. To sum it up, be aware that this is NOT the true Argentine bakery experience. Look elsewhere. Many of LA's French bakeries resemble the Argentine taste better than this place. Grand Casino, give it up already! And let's hope someone opens a real bakery that celebrates the true spirit of Argentina.
Pros: The location. Though it could be put to a better purpose.
Cons: Just about everything.
