I could never be a vegetarian. I respect them and even have great friends who happen to be vegetarian, and believe animals should be treated and raised with respect and responsibility. Food, and all food, both coming from animals and plants should be treated with respect, because there is sanctity in life and all life should be respected and held in high-esteem, but I digress. I could never be a vegetarian. I am a carnivore, and believe I have been created one, and it is places like this that make me remember how much I love meat. So I apologize to my vegetarian friends as I mean no disrespect.
Following an Argentinian-style menu but named after a famous Uruguayan song, which was actually a point of discussion in our table during our last meal, Che Papusa might well be the best steakhouse in all of Querétaro. The dark lit room boasts plenty of pictures of places and people from both Uruguay and Argentina on its walls, a flurry of loud businessmen adorning the various tables, and white tablecloths ready to take on drops of succulent meat juice to bare witness of the feast about to take place.
The various cuts of meat that the restaurant carries are cooked in a precise and deft manner, cooked to the customer's wishes, which should always be medium or medium rare for every well-discerning patron. Here is where I have had what I consider to be the best Bife de Chorizo in town, fatty enough to provide that great juiciness and tenderness that this cut offers. The Empanadas, a dish served in every self-denominated Argentinian restaurant in Mexico, are tasty as well and a good way to start the meal, but the one appetizer that needs to be ordered here are the Mollejas de Res. Order, make a taco out of them, and be transported into meat paradise, and if you're still curious ask your server what exactly you just ate. Even then you will still not regret taking a bite of these Mollejas.
All hearty meals must end with chocolate, I believe, and Che Papusa was there to appease. In the end, my canines were grateful for the workout. Definitely a can't miss for Querétaro's meat-loving populace. read more
