The food is just ok, guacamole is tasty, enchiladas are soft and soggy with little cheese…read more Guacamole is US$18 thats way expensive for what you get. The pricing here is equivalent to the best restaurants like Rosa Negra, its not on the same planet, insofar as quality goes. It would give 3 stars if the pricing was within reason. Whats really bothered me is the cubertos. They charge 40P per setting to eat with mini paper napkins on cheap tables. Cubertios is a service charge for upscale tablecloth, napkins and silverware. I eat at the best french bistro, Pantanque, with 35P cubertios, with great silverware, cloth napkins and tablecloths. Not recommended due to exorbitant pricing. I really wanted to like the place, the people are sweet. https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g2069262-d3673965-r428279284-5ta_Esencia_Restaurant_Mexicano-La_Lucila_del_Mar_Province_of_Buenos_Aires_Cent.html#

Lamentablemente y a pesar del esfuerzo por mostrar un menú que a toda vista luce auténtico, los platillos que pedí, rallan más en ser una mala imitación de la comida mexicana, Gorditas que parecen más arepas rellenas de pollo, Chiles en Nogada que sabían más a salsa de tres quesos, tacos al pastor que lucían mas como un asado de cerdo dulce con piña, pastel tres leches con merengue flameado, y un helado de chocolate blanco con chile que sabía más a leche enchilada. En resumen, como auténtica comida mexicana le doy un 8 por el esfuerzo de abrir un restaurante de comida mexicana, pero la comida dista mucho de ser "Auténtica Comida Mexicana" Buen provecho... Por cierto la crema de los chiles si tenía nueces pero también tenía mucha basura de la cáscara, casi me rompo un diente tratando de comerlos

Tacos were mid. The adobada was very dry and the guacamole was missing flavor. The guacamole also…read moreturned brown really fast.

This is Mexican food, but it's Mexican food for people that think they know what Mexican food…read moreshould taste like. It's not good. The chips in the nachos were stale. They tasted obviously bad. The tortillas were bland. They had no salt, flavor, and too much coarse texture. The meats were all over the place. The carne asada was big but boring. It has no taste. The chicken was fine. I'd eat it again but it needed salsa. Your meats should not need sauce. The al pastor was passable but not correctly made. There was no pineapple marinading the pork on the trompo, and the pork itself was way too moist. The tacos were so oily or wet that they broke the tortillas. You can't eat their tacos without a mess happening. It's a frustrating meal. Mexican food is a celebration of flavor. It's comforting, homey, satisfying, and makes probably the best street food. This restaurant respected none of that. Everything could be improved here.

The food here is very fresh!!! And good quality. By far the best flour tortilla I have had in…read moreArgentina. The guacamole is very good and full of ripe tomatoes. Was very pleased to have found this place!!

Good Mexican burritos, a much rarer treat in Buenos Aires than in the United States…read more This place is an example of basically everything that can possibly be good about fast food. The service is very quick and friendly, and yet the place is also very we'll kept, with large rolls of high-quality absorbent napkins at each table to assist you in consuming your lunch's abundant sauce. The food is great; the menu is brief but just as long as it needs to be, and the portions are just as large as they need to be (i.e. about as big as Mexico).

Had a lovely meal tonight. Started with Queso Fundito and it was quite good. We then had the carne…read moreburrito, tacos al pastor and pollo azteca. The burrito was huge!! And perfectly yummy. The guacamole was fresh!! My girls declared the tacos el pastor was just heavenly. The pork was cooked and seasoned well. The pollo azteca ( chicken and pumpkin) was very yummy although when it arrived I was a bit worried. It does have the consistency a bit like baby food but the flavors are great!! Dessert was tres leches (which wasn't good enough to order again) and manzana marana which was so good. Very good caramelization of the apples with creama.
