There are no bargins here. The service is excellent and the atmosphere is steak house perfect. There were five of us and we tried the filet, ribeye, top sirloin and the strip. All we done perfectly except the strip was full of sinew so it is to be avoided. The wine list is extensive and seriously over priced. Overall I... more

11 of us went to Cancun in August. Two of us were given a break from our kids by family members to go get a good dinner. I chose this from reading reviews here. Let me tell you, it was the BEST descision. I'm not going to go into small details, but the food and service was impeccable. It was... more

To start, you are seated in a beautiful restaurant. Then you are served amazing homemade breads with 2 kinds of butter. Your meal will be amazing, because they only serve perfect food. You HAVE to order the potatoe basket, it was fantastic!! Really, I am not a french fry person, but this basket was the greatest thing in the world.... more

This is our second visit here in as many years. Steaks are the featured item. They are large, tender, and flavored with salt, pepper, a light touch of garlic (I think) and real wood smoke. Though I think places like Ruth's Chris offer a higher grade of prime beef, they are also bland by comparison. These are steaks that require... more

Great Dinner. Jonathan was our server and did an excellent job. They make a caesar salad tableside that was awesome!! We order Cheese Fondue App that came in a bowl not fondue pot. That was a little weird because it cooled off quickly. We were a table of 4 ladies and ordered 4 entrees. Big Mistake!! They are HUGE. I... more

Cambalache is a must for us when we visit Cancun. The ribeye is amazing and comes out on a cast iron skillet. The ambiance has a masculine feel. Don't let the big sign outside scare you away - this place is great!! more

Too crowded. Tables are too close to each other and it gets really noisy. Good steak, no doubt. more

What a wonderful Argentinian steak house in the hotel district. We weren't expecting a top flight dining experience at a restaurant in the mall with Carlos & Charlies, but were very surprised. Service, atmosphere and food were top flight. Service was attentive but not obtrusive. Atmosphere up scale, clean and quiet. Food amazing, from the steaks the family ordered to... more

We went to Cambalache after a recommendation from family. The service here was just average, it took a while for them to hand us our menus for dinner and then dessert. The steak was good, but my husband said he liked the steak better at Puerto Madero. I had this spinach ravioli and it was delicious. We got caramel crepes... more
