The most recent location is on the second floor inside of the La Isla mall. The restaurant is upscale dining, which matches the mid to high end shopping options in the mall. The service is always stellar and you can count on having a nice glass of wine or another drink of choice with your delicious dinner. The ambiance is upscale but also comfortable. This time we shared a mixed salad (huge) and the soufflé potato puffs (a signature side), I ordered a small tenderloin and Paul got a ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly. They both needed a little salt for our tastes, but each was tender, juicy and tasty. It is difficult to go wrong here if you want a great dining experience in Cancun.

We loved it so much, we ended up here twice in the same week. The service is outstanding here and you can tell they pride themselves on customer service. Before the meal, they do drop off bread with dipping sauces, garlic, and butter. The perfect appetizer. One reason I love this place is the salads. They are big enough for split for 2 and I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. Personally, the cesar salad is my favorite. What I love about this salad, is they make the dressing right in front of you. Definitely a cool and unique experience. The first time, I ordered the tuna steak. It comes with a soy sauce and a garlic butter. These two sauces on the tuna makes for an incredible meal. I cannot say enough good things about this entree! The second night we went my boyfriend and I split the Cesar salad and the skirt steak. We also added on a side of mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The whole meal was delicious. I couldn't pick a favorite part because everything tasted so good. Splitting this was the perfect meal for two people and we even had a bit left over to snack on the next day. I always have a wonderful experience with even better food when I come here. If you happen to be in the area this is a must stop.

Our server was Maldonado. He was fantastic and would come by to offer us beverages such as smoothies or coffee. At one point I had come back with a second plate and was surprised by a dessert left at the table with a happy anniversary sign on it. He was excellent at trying to make our vacation memorable. The service was so great we went back the next day but this time we had a different server. As soon as the other guy (maldonado) saw us he came over to be our server. He was very kind and attentive and I really appreciate good service. Went back another night for dinner. Our server was also great, but I don't remember his name. Only negative I would have to say about dinner time was that it was very very dark.

But, I have a…read moregreat fondness for a good steak, especially prepared by Argentinians, so after reviewing all the Argentinian restaurants in Cancun we tried this one. I thought the food was OK, but that's about it. The waiter that we had was learning, and very enthusiastic. The wine was awful, burned and oxidized. But, I think the worst thing was that this place added tax to the bill. I have never paid tax at any other restaurant in Cancun or Mexico generally. I questioned it, but they confirmed that it was a tax, and that it was appropriate. I wish I had done more to resist paying it. So ultimately it influenced my opinion that this place is a rip off in addition to being not a great restaurant.

Quite a variety on the menu, but we tried a bunch of things. I always made sure to have some real shrimp. The only way I can get that in Colorado it seems I have to go to an international market, and prepare it myself (which is fine by me). I love the respect they have for the food. That's real cooking right there. Between fried while snapper and prawns, rice and authentic refried beans... I thoroughly enjoyed. Manuel was a great host, manager, and server. We had no issues. It's Mexico, the service industry is a bit different, you have to flag them down if you want anything. They don't mind, that's how they do it! It's more about the company you are with and taking your time and relaxing. I did have a pasta dish one night... the sauce and seafood was delicious but the pasta was undercooked. There was enough food though, it's hardly a complaint. Bar was cool too. Service was friendly and even tried to tell me I tip too much! That's an honest establishment, but tipping is karma! They will add gratuity for larger parties, that's anywhere so you can't complain about that! Just go here and try it!

Don't ignore these reviews like I did. It really is that bad…read more I ignored the reviews because I thought "I'm not gonna get steak. Maybe they just have bad steak." Mistake. It's all bad. Just don't go! The decor and especially outside sofa chairs are very inviting. It is a facade; a trick; a lie. Una mentira. First red flag: this place has multiple names: L'Argentina Grill Argentina Steakhouse "The Steakhouse" (huge painted on building) There are two foods I love the most: tacos and hamburgers. So when I go to Cancun/Mujeres I eat lots of tacos. Eventually I crave hamburgers. Enter Argentina. The service was pretty poor. I've traveled plenty and understand the difference between service in the US vs elsewhere. Here we were just ignored or passed over too long. Eventually we got water and ordered a bottle of wine. They struggled a bit suggesting wines. Everything we ordered was our server's favorite... :) lucky us. Ordered some appetizers. I didn't like them and don't remember what they were. Got dinner (burger and fries). The fries were lame. I don't even mind frozen fries. But these were just bland and useless. The burger patty seemed like it was steamed or boiled. I didn't like it. Any fast food burger joint, in Mexico or the US, would have been superior. Service was slow and not helpful. I ate at about 12 restaurants in Cancun and Mujeres, and they were all delicious, except for this one place. And this was by far the priciest (well, except for the beachside dinner at the ritz which was fine dining on another level... not fair to compare) If you eat at this restaurant, after reading these reviews, that's your bad. Don't be me. Don't be a sucker. Spend way less money for way better food and service, anywhere on the island. Pick any food stand. Any bar. Any hotel. Any restaurant. They all have better food. Pick any of them. Two stars because the wine wasn't terrible, and some of the food was edible. But seriously teetering on giving a 1 star. It was absolutely not worth it. I will definitely never go back. On an island in the Caribbean, maybe I shouldn't have sought out beef at all. Next time I'll stick to local fare (seafood) at restaurants that aren't clearly created to gouge tourists. I kinda feel responsible, because in retrospect, this place is clearly a tourist trap racket. Either way, do yourself, your wallet, and your loved ones a huge favor: eat anywhere else.

Chorizo Argentino con Queso - nice flaky crust, the filling is good, where you can taste the chorizo and some mozzarella cheese that pulls nicely when you bite into the empanada. Chistorra con Queso - Filling with lots of cheese. Too cheesy for our taste. Carne picante - nice spicy ground beef filling. The spice was strong not too much. One of the best we had. Norteña (pastor con queso) - It had more cheese than carne al pastor, so it felt too cheesy. Could not taste the pastor much. We loved the Pollo and the Chilorio con queso empanadas...both had nice chunky fillings with lots of nice marinated meat pieces....really good. You have the option of 4 sauces to use on the empanadas...chimichurri, spicy, pico de gallo and chipolte. Based on my experience, these are not truly Argentinian empanadas, because the ones I've had, have been homemade and they use olives, hard boiled eggs, potato and other spices in the filling. But they were not bad at all...some fillings better than others.... Nice parking in front of the store. They take credit cards. Many specials throughout the week, many of them require to buy a lot (like a dozen to get a promotional free item). They have combos as well.
