I thought this place would be a great idea because it also has an AYCE salad bar. Maybe my fifth or sixth Fogo de chao I've tried in 3 different countries. (Brazil, US and Mexico.). All very solid. And you won't go home hungry. Looking at my credit card statement after coming back home, $93 USD out the door, tax and tip included, for 2x all you can eat Fogo de Chao churrascarías experience, one beer and one soda. Same experience, and more reasonable price than back home!

The location of…read morethis restaurant is very convenient if you're in the Polanco neighborhood, which was why we chose it (sheer laziness), but it turned out to be a great choice overall. 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.

I'm thinking the owner try hard to keep this place but. No no no. Never go back. I only a order 1 set of pastel just to taste the food quality. I eat 2 cheese and meat. Cheese was ordinary (u can't go wrong ,cheese is cheese ) in other hands the meat was dry and dark ( nothing like a carne moída) my friend even ask If it was carne seca. Lol.

I called for an Uber to take me to Palominos (Steakhouse $$$ & Highly rated.) He dropped us off and we got out, and walked in sat down. The atmosphere is great! They kept directing us to the salad bar. So finally I get up and go to the salad bar. Except its so much more than that. I lost count of how many, fine cheeses, salads, pasta, breads, olives, carpaccio's at least 3? 2 different soups. and on and on. Then I see the guys coming by with the grilled meats that they slice on to your plate. And I realized we were not where we thought we were! We were at Rodizio's! But I was so blown away by the service and the foods. I could not believe my eyes. They will not let you pour your water or wine. And every time you sit down someone is there to lay your napkin on your lap. The service was so over the top, it was almost uncomfortable. Almost. The guys were funny and quite a few could speak passing english. I was surprised to find out there was not 1 single review on Yelp. Thats why I decided to write one. Someone has to let people know this place is amazing! Just to give you an idea on cost 1 bottle of wine @ $650 pesos (Casa Madero cab/merlot blend, sweet and rich. wow.) And 3 cokes, 1 bottle of water, and the meat and buffet experience was $1700 before tip. Go here if you want to have great service and food. People were dressed in business casual. You wont be disappointed.

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.

Well that's not all the Brazilian cuisine has to offer but as an expat you dream about those flavors, and believe me Brazuca would make the pain go away. If you are craving a nice picanha, or perhaps some pão de queijo this is the place to find it. The deal here is: you pay a set price per person and you are now on the "all you can eat" zone. The waiters are going to bring the meat, and you can help yourself with rice and beans. They also bring portions of coxinha, pão de queijo, mandioca and other snacks and salad. If you want some more just ask, in the end you can't have enough coixinhas. Missing a caipirinha? Not a problem, they have cachaça, sugar and are ready to make you sweat! Getting here is easy, since the restaurant is located in one of the busiest avenues in Mexico. You can take the Metrobus, or the metro itself and walk a couple of blocks. If you drive here, you will have trouble finding a parking spot, but if I am not mistaken they have a vallet service. Also great to watch Brazilian soccer matches. :D
