This is what heaven looks like for a meat-lover.

Meat piled up on a crackling flame grilled BBQ, dripping joyous juices down bones and char-grilled flesh, tangy Argentine sauces succulently accompany every dish.

It's probably not the best place to take that cute vegetarian girl on a date, but otherwise this is a real crowd pleaser.

It looks amazing, tastes amazing and is amazing. Great for those on the paleo diet too.

Unleash your inner caveman and rip into some bones here.

Amazing food cooked using a fire

Great food! Get there early though coz they get busy fast!!

Great food and amazing atmosphere in Ponsonby Central. I love how its not the typical thai or mexican or asian that every other restaurant seems to be.

The perfect place to enjoy a hearty meal with good friends in a relaxed setting. The food is simple, yet full of flavour with generous servings that are reasonably priced.

Not a place to take vegetarian friends or when you’re feeling like a ‘light snack’, El Sizzling Chorizo specialise in hearty, delicious Argentinian barbecue feasts that will keep you full for days. Just the smell will get your tastebuds tingling, so make sure you arrive with an empty belly and an open mind.

Hot and smokey meats, cooked right in front of your eyes. BBQ'd, grilled, fried....all prepared for your right there.  Such a fun place to go friends, but I think it would also make a great first date spot as if there are an uncomfortable silences, you'd still have entertainment 

The first thing that hits you when eating at El Sizzling Chorizo is the amazing smell. Piles of smoking meat on the grill give off a scent that could be tagged as ‘The Carnivore’s Dream’. We grabbed a seat at the bustling ‘meat bar’ and I tucked into a sirloin steak, with salsa verde and greens. The meat was smoky, tender and well seasoned and the sauce was a great accompaniment. I’ll be back.

I thought El Sizzling Chorizo's chorizo small plate would be bready with not much sausage. But the bread was warm and soft, and there was lots of sausage. At $10, this is a no-brainer!

Wow I ate here for the first time on the weekend. I felt like I was eating in Argentina itself.  I really loved sitting at the bar and having the chefs preparing the food right in front of us 

No one cooks meat like these guys.. never eat meat at home so bit of a treat
