    My wife and I went to Cancun for our wedding anniversary trip. We chose Cambalache as place to celebrate on the actual day. It was such a great choice from ambiance and food choice. The extra surprise was the high quality service and dessert they provided us to celebrate. We choose the tomahawk steak as our meal that night and it was cooked to perfection. It turned out to be one of my favorite steaks of all time. Last item of note was the cost of this meal compared to the US was ridiculously cheap. Highly recommend eating here and provide a great tip if you also receive the high quality service and food.

    Came here randomly last Monday for dinner and overall it was pretty good! You can make reservations online but when we got there, there were still plenty of tables available. For appetizers, the Carpaccio de Lomo Prime Parmesana and Cambalache Salad were okay. The Rib Eye Steak (Bife de Chorizo) and New York Steak (Bife Angosto) were both good—however mine was medium rare (I requested medium) so they had to cook it further. The steaks came out on a sizzling skillet and they slice each open for you to see the inside before serving it to you to make sure it’s cooked to your liking! The Creamed Spinach (Espinacas a al Crema) was delicious—very flavorful and creamy, loved it! For cocktails, their Mojitos were pretty good. The bar has lots of different liquor choices, especially tequila. Service was great and this place has a nice ambiance, we enjoyed it here. Also, they gave us a 10% discount because we were staying at the Westin across the street!

    How good is an Argentina Steakhouse in Cancun Mexico? I have to say the decor was very good and staff try to be 1st class. Bottom line, it's some good eating but not top notch. But the pricing is 25% less than nearby competitor Ruth Chris. Recommend the NY Strip. If you want to share, get the Tomahawk, looked to be a 40 oz ribeye with about 18 inches of rib attached. It could literally be used as a weapon to fend off an attacker.

    Excellent SERVICE! Exceptional wait staff. Great food. I had the arugula and tomatoe salad- very fresh. Cannolini stuffed with meat and cheese. Empanada with spinach and cheese. Prime ribeye is excellent. Puffed souffle potatoes as a nice side dish. Chocolate cake was very good, not overly sweet.

    Very nice place to eat. I took my family for dinner. The food was delicious. The service was great and the atmosphere was great. The only negative thing I could say is the parking garage sucked trying to get out of it. Half of the payment machines were broken. They were only taking cash, and there's no atm nearby. Once you're in the line, you're stuck, so everyone has to wait a good 10 minutes (give or take) just to get out. Other than that everything was awesome!

    Pleasant dinner experience, good quality meats. Ordered medium rare on both cuts, they arrived closer to rare but were re-fired to medium rare. The potato things are truly delicious.

    This place is incredible. I’ve been served by Jesus, Kevin, Alfredo, and many others. The service is second to none. The food is unbelievable. And the experience is even better. I can’t recommend this place enough. We planned our Christmas around coming to this restaurant. That’s how good it is. You won’t regret it. Just bring your appetite and have a great time.

    Visited this restaurant during my Cancun stay, the food was delicious and service was excellent! Our waiter Oscar Lozano made sure to accommodate all of our requests and suggested wine options for our meal selection. Thank you Oscar!

  • 5/5 Alexander C. 2 years ago on Google
    Greatest go-to joint when you are in the mood for steak with great ambiance and service. Added to that, deserts are chill, and the Cambalache salad is the best salad in town. Highly recommend with romantic intent, or a bunch of friends hanging out.

    Visiting from Texas and it was absolutely delicious. I got the octopus and my uncle ordered the Tomahawk 😋

  • 5/5 Maiara V. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best meals I had in my life. We started with the grilled provolone and veal, then rib eye and tenderloin, and we finished with flan and a take-out alfajor! Needless to say, we ate more than we could, but it was worth every bite.

  • 5/5 Steve S. 2 years ago on Google
    Atmosphere was amazing! You can smell the aroma of top notch cooking as soon as you begin to head upstairs.. Staff was great with politeness and being attentive to our needs. We started with the tuna carpaccio and the fried calamari (highly recommend both). Also dont want you to fill yourself but there is a variety of breads and sauces to try as you wait on your entre. For meals I had the short ribs with baked potatoe and the misses had the tenderloin with grilled veggies. Both would be highly recommended, the tenderloin was tender and melted with each bite. I enjoy the presentation and delivery of the meals ( ill leave that for your experience). For desert we had the struddle a la mode a very good take on a old dish, the different flavors and ice cream meld well together. Overall awesome first trip I would absolutely say go if youre in the area and I. Would return.

    Easily my favorite dinner experience in Cancún. 10/10 would recommend and will make it a point to eat here EVERY TIME we come back. Started with the salmon carpaccio and calamari. Excellent! I had rib eye, wife had the tenderloin, kids had the neopolitan milanese and cannelloni. All of them were amazing. Dessert was the Alfajor...WOW. And the service...They set the standard! Thank you so much for a fantastic end to our vacation!

    Incredible!!! From the moment you walk in everything is PERFECT! Service, Food, Wait staff and View were Perfect! We ordered New York Strip Steak. It came with onions and cooked to perfection! Portions are definitely shareable!! The baked potato was enormous and wonderful with the trimmings. My sweetheart ordered Fettuccine Bolognese and strip steak tacos.

    This place takes service and style to another level! I mean when have you been to a restaurant that makes a Cesar salad with 15 different ingredients all fresh and done right in front of you? These guys take pride in there work and very amazing food and staff!

😠 This is the first time here and I ordered an omelette with veggies and cheese. When I seen it first I was kind of irritated how they just put the veggies in the omelette but I must admit it was very good. As you know already I like it simple, fresh, and good. The dish came with chips and an awesome...
