Cambalache is an Argentine steakhouse, which is reflected in the style of grilling their meats (over an open flame, which can be viewed at the back of the restaurant), and the service of the meat itself (a La plancha, at the table). We chose the ribeye (600-700g) to share. It was perfectly cooked to medium temperature, and sliced for us tableside. A beautiful cut of meat, and very flavorful. The side dishes were tasty, too (the soufflé potatoes are a signature, and they're fun to try/share). Speaking of tableside prep, I highly recommend saving room for the strawberries Romanoff - our server spent about 20 minutes whipping a combination of vanilla Haagen Dazs, Grand Marnier, cream, and fresh-sliced strawberries into a fluffy concoction that was divinely yummy. Our youngest diner insisted on coming back to Cambalache a second time, a week later, just to have it again. It's not on the regular postre menu, so be sure to ask your server about it.

We had the Ranchera and the steak was cooked perfection the cream of corn served for the soup course was amazing. Seriously so creamy a little sweet, a little garlic key and topped off with little crunchies that tied everything together. The empanadas on the first course were really, really tasty a little sweet from reasons, but also a little salty from the olives, a great combination. The dessert was a flan and Man old man when I tell you, it was so good words don't do it justice. This place is beautiful and the courtyard for your kids to enjoy while you're having dinner. You can see the farm animals in a little tiny orchard that makes the place so beautiful. Don't hesitatethe cost is incredibly affordable for the quality of the place.

Im glad we did because this made our trip to Mexico City so amazing! The drinks and food were all presented so beautifully and were delicious.

We got to sit on the patio on the second floor and it was a great day to people watch and enjoy a nice dinner. Being from LA, this place beats a lot of the fine dining steakhouses I've been to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting or local.

I conducted my search, finding a few places online trying to locate a good spot in a city I've never visited. Gardela stood out immediately because of their communication, kindness, and dedication to making this event extra special for him and his friends. They truly created and planned the perfect event for the group and I truly could not be more grateful. Onto the food (their honest reviews)! They said it was a 11/10 dining experience overall. The food was incredible and amazing and these are some food critics traveling from major foodie cities. They planned a beautiful menu with Chicken Tortilla Soup, a variety of Empanadas, Picaña Steak and Skirt Steak, and Peasant Salad and Fries as sides. They said the soup was super delicious and flavorful. They said the steak was absolutely phenomenal and tender, it was very high quality meat. Also the salad really stood out as it was super fresh and crisp. Then they plated a beautiful dessert assortment as well as well as special happy birthday and bachelor messages to make the celebration extra special. The cocktails were also super delicious as well. They left the meal with their hearts and bellies very full. From everything, from the planning, to the the presentation of food, the service, and food quality, the team at Gardela went above and beyond. I really could not have picked a better place and now I am jealous because I need to go try some of the steaks because they had my mouth watering! Overall, I would highly recommend going to this restaurant. They said they were seated in a private room too so it made the experience even more special. My sincerest thank you to the entire team at Gardela for making this event unforgettable!

The first night we focused on the steaks and they were absolutely delicious. Great quality meat, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The next night we came back and tried the pizza, which had a very authentic South American flavor and was just as enjoyable in a completely different way. The brisket tacos were also really good! Service was very good throughout, friendly, attentive, and professional without being overbearing. The wine list is extensive and impressive, with lots of excellent options from Argentina and Chile that pair perfectly with the food. Prices were very reasonable for the quality. Reservations are highly recommended because the restaurant gets busy. Another plus is the location, it is within walking distance of many hotels, including the Four Points by Sheraton. Excellent spot and absolutely worth repeating, clearly proven by the fact that we did.

We ordered the one-kilogram ribeye, which was cooked extremely well and more than enough food to comfortably share among four people. The Caesar salad was prepared tableside and was excellent. For dessert, we had the strawberry flambé, also prepared at the table, which was very well done and a fun finish to the meal. Service was a strong point. Our waiter was attentive, professional, and paced the meal appropriately. We went on a Monday evening, so the restaurant was relatively quiet, which added to the relaxed atmosphere. The only drawback was that they did not have their traditional Argentine roasted beef ribs available that night. If I were to return, I would aim for an earlier seating or a weekend visit to increase the likelihood of getting the ribs, which appear to be one of their signature offerings. Overall, this was a very enjoyable experience. The food was excellent, the service strong, and the setting more quiet, rustic, and subdued compared with places like La Buena Brra. Our teenage kids enjoyed both experiences, despite how different they were. Highly recommended if you are looking for a solid Argentine steakhouse experience while in Mexico City.

En vez de traerme comida nueva, se llevaron el mismo pedazo de lechón a la parrilla para seguir cocinándolo. Al traérmelo de vuelta, estuvo seco y cocido de más. Así que no solo sirvieron comida cruda, sino también lidiaron terriblemente con la situación subsiguiente. Ni siquiera se ofrecieron a quitar el lechón de la cuenta, ni ofrecieron un descuento. Además, la milanesa de mi novia estuvo fea y gomosa. Es simplemente un lugar de bajos estandares. Yo soy de argentina y les puedo asegurar que este lugar no es nada parecido a asados en argentina. The ambiance is nice and authentic looking, and some of the reviews are positive, but definitely avoid this place. I ordered the lechon and it came raw. I gave it back to them and instead of bringing me new food, they took the same piece of meat to the grill to continue cooking it. When they brought back the same piece of meat, it was overcooked and dry. So not only did they serve raw food, but they handled the subsequent situation terribly. They didn't even offer to remove the lechón from the bill, nor to offer a discount. My girlfriend's Milanesa was gross and rubbery. I am from Argentina and can tell you that this place is nothing like Argentine asado.
