4.6 / 5.0(8,660 reviews)
The service is excellent! Greats waiters and staff. We ordered all you can eat tacos - highly recommend! As well as the burritos. Would not order the nachos, they are just chips and cheese and it is not price worthy. This place has a wonderful atmosphere and a very welcoming vibe. The ambiance is cozy and vibrant, perfect for enjoying a relaxed meal with friends or family. I ordered the burritos and nachos, both were excellent Really tasty food! The enchiladas pollo pibil were pretty spicy. You can skip out on the margarita its just a premix of jose cuervo.

i'm an american that's lived in argentina for two years and this is the most authentic mexican food i've had here. we both ordered enchiladas de carne, but i had the spicy sauce. to my pleasant surprise, the sauce was ACTUALLY spicy and had great flavor. my husband had the enchiladas with beans which were also delicious and bursting with flavor. the margarita was great too, and the staff are super nice. i HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone visiting bariloche. we will for sure be back.

I almost walked out when I was reading the menu eating their chips with the most mediocre salsa I've ever had. Luckily, I ordered some tacos and they were wonderful! And they were served with several wonderful salsas. It was not cheap but that seems to be the way of food is in Argentina.
