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.

Unfortunately due to the…read morewindy weather, the curtains / window coverings were down and it wasn't easy to see the sunset. There is plenty of room between the tables here, so if you have issues with being overcrowded while at a restaurant, you shouldn't have that issue here. There are many large TVs and projectors available to watch some videos or a sports game. I had the Bif De Chorizo and my colleague had the cowboy steak. The bif de chorizo was quite tasty for me and I enjoyed the mashed potatoes I had on the side. They have a few different beers to choose from as well as a number of cocktails as well. I'd definitely give this place another shot when I visit Queretaro again in the future.

Their service was most disappointing especially in Mexico where service is normally very good to excellent. The restaurant had maybe 10 tables with customers. I was seated in the middle of the room. After 10" I gently waived to a waiter to ask for a drink. After waiting another 15" still with no drink, I got up and left. Basically, I got tired of watching this older waiter walking back and forth, never approaching a table, and never inquiring about what I wanted to order for dinner. It was like I did not exist. Instead I went to the nearby Plaza de Amas and had a beautiful dinner with good music.

Much has not changed after all the years that I have not visited this place, neither have the dinner rolls nor the large amounts of meat that are brought to your table. Despite the bad taste in music and dated features of this restaurant, it remains a solid option for eating Arrachera. The restaurant itself follows a Northern Mexican theme, which is definitely the intention with its meat-centric menu. We typically skip the pleasantries and go straight to the meat. Food is served buffet style when ordering meat, because why order anything other than meat?They start you off with Caldo de Res or Caldo de Camaron, along with grilled dinner rolls and sliced jicama, carrot, and cucumbers with Tajin. They follow that up with frijoles charros, a large dinner salad, and rajas con queso. Then the meat arrives, a towering heap of sliced Arrachera served on a wooden board, with that inviting smell that one cannot deny loving. Flour and corn tortillas, along with a variety of salsas are available for your taco-making pleasure. Glad to see the good things about this place have not changed.

I imagined the decor and ambiance à la Nico's, with well-trained servers, white tablecloths, and handsome platings. However, my excitement soon turned into dread as I stepped inside the contradicting restaurant. It looked like a typical fonda that tried to be a sit-down eating establishment: a simplistic, almost non-existent decor, faux-leather tablecloths, and what I expected to be plain-tasting food served on a plate without any form of inspiration. We ordered with low expectations upon seeing the seemingly mass-made Pan Dulce, which probably came out of the factory-like ovens of Costco. Our food arrived on ordinary plates, but the food actually looked inviting. Handmade tortillas unexpectedly made an appearance along with a tasty looking salsa, and we slowly recuperated our appetite. The stellar dish was the Cecina, Veracruz-style, which was slightly thicker and not as dry as Yecapixtla Cecina, but still packed a ton of flavor and saltiness typical of a slab of cecina. Here you can pair your cecina with nearly everything, be it chilaquiles, scrambled eggs, dobladitas, a variety of enchiladas, or even as tacos. They also have a variety of regional specialties, such as Huastecas, Migadas, and Bocoles. Ultimately, the food makes you forget the decor, and that is a good thing. Either this place is an unconventional stroke of genius with so many instances of juxtaposition taking place, or just a circumstance of people cooking awesome food in a not so awesome restaurant. While I lean towards the latter, I would rather leave it for up for people who have not eaten here to decide for themselves.
