    Gayle and I had dinner here during our only evening in Salta. Our Hotel had recommended it, which…read morealso provided a nice opportunity to walk and dine our early (8 PM plus change). The Hotel also recommended across the street (Guemes), but we found the Cafe del Tiempo side to be a little quieter for outdoor seating. We were seated quickly enough outdoors, but found the indoor decor to be pretty cool. However, after a decent wait and agreeing on a "we'll leave in 5 minutes unless we get waited on", our server finally arrived with an odd combination of indifference and a smile. We ordered our Argentinian "usual": Steak order to share provoleta and a bottle of Malbec. But to our dismay, they were out of provoleta (this early?). Maybe we should have explored this diverse menu a little more, as I didn't notice Indian and Asian stir fry selections. Maybe our guy (and the kitchen) were having an off night. We also noticed that the next table ordered Pizza and one of the persons there had to walk back inside. Soon after, the waiter collected the partially eaten Pizza and then returned it after heating it up. As for our outdoor seating, the evening and the city energy was pleasant enough. Our experience also included several folks stopping at our table for money and a few dogs positioning themselves for some scraps. I should point out that these dogs seemed to be well taken care of as maybe community dogs, rather than street mutts. We couldn't say the same for the folks who were down on their luck. The steak and wine were good, but the slow service, lack of provoleta, and the street diversity didn't encourage us to linger. This was also probably the only dining experience in Argentina where we felt the waiter didn't earn the tip and where the Hotel recommendation came up a bit short.

    Delicious food. Lovely service. The waiter ran to catch me with the food I forgot. Opens for dinner…read moreearly - great for Americans that are still adapting to Argentinian meal schedules.

    Not such a good experience. Outside of my sons steak-it was mediocre at best…read more The "prawn" appetizer was just small shrimp like rock shrimp. I asked the waiter which hpyse special was better- rabbit or llama steak. He said llama- it was like shoe leather! I did not eat it. My husband ordered the same beef steak as my son yet it was completely different..,? Huge thick piece versus very thin tender steak...? My sons Steak was delicious. After we received our dinners-the waiter never checked back. We tried repeatedly to catch his eye to no avail. They deducted 330 from my 650 llama steak even thought it was quite obvious I'd eaten 3 bites.... The desserts were so so. Just disappointed w/ service and food. Ambiance of restaurant was good. Just seems tired....

    We found Adelina as it wasn't far from our hotel and it looked lovely. like a big indoor Italian…read morebistro, brick, subway tile, high ceilings. We liked it so much that we ate here a second time. Both times we had a big lunch prior so we shared our entries. Wife had a tamale and I had morcilla as starters and we both enjoyed them. We shared a bife de chorizo and french fries and the portions were large. The staff didn't try to upsell as we ordered a bottle of wine that they were out of and they made wine recommendations in the same price range. Our waiters both time were friendly and attentive. White aprons all around, very professional yet warm/friendly. Got into great winery discussion with one, represented his country well in facts. Definitely worth a visit

    On point! Went twice…read morelast weekend for two different experiences. The first was to try the steak and the second to go empanadas and tamales. While the steak was good and flavorful I have to say their tamales and empanadas are the best I have had. Their prices are only quite good. If your in Salta you gotta get ready to wait in line to enjoy this restaurant. Try to arrive at 8 to avoid the line.

    This is a really nice restaurant. The servers are dressed as gauchos and the interior looks like a…read morerustic ranch or something like that. It's the perfect place for a tourist to eat dinner in Salta. My friends and I came to eat here for dinner. They open for dinner at 8p. It's a big restaurant. We knew we wanted empanadas. They have four kinds: carne, queso, pollo, and charqui (dried salted beef). The empanadas are really really good here. The carne is the best one in my opinion. The pollo was good, but just a tad dry. And the charqui was also good, but a little too salty. Queso was good too. But the carne is the star. They offer a bunch of local cuisine, like tamales, humitas, locro, and cazuela de cabrito (goat stew). They also serve pastas. I wanted to try the goat stew, so that's what I ordered as my main. And it was delicious. The meat was super tender. The stew was flavorful. There were carrots and potatoes in it. A lot of bones. I was stuffed after eating all of the stew and 3 empanadas. My friends and I went back the next evening for more empanadas! And I tried the bife de chorizo which was tasty. It only comes with meat, a tomato slice, and a piece of lettuce. Sides like potatoes are extra. The place has great character and ambiance. The menu is in English too. Service is great. But they don't take credit card. Only debit cards or cash. And they tack on a service fee of 12 pesos per person. The place isn't super expensive, but it's not cheap either. Mid-range. The empanadas are also slightly more expensive at 13 pesos, when other places charge 10 pesos.
