CDMX Food Adventure | Gardela's Divine Bone Marrow
🛬 Kicked off my Thanksgiving trip at this Argentinian gem in Roma! The moody, intimate ambiance with leather booths and candlelight makes it perfect for dates or group dinners (pro tip: book ahead!). 💰 Damage: 2600 pesos for two (incl. tip) - steal of a deal! 🍞 Warm-up Act: Bread Basket Each artisanal roll came with whipped butter and house-made spreads, but the scallion-sesame mini boules dipped in olive oil? Love at first bite! 🥖💘 🦴 Showstopper: Bone Marrow My first Argentinian-style bone marrow experience - and holy smokiness! Charred to perfection, the silky marrow spread like velvet on warm tortillas. Rich but not greasy, we couldn't stop "umami-ing" - absolute must-order! 👏 🥩 Main Event: NY Strip That marbling! That crust! Ordered medium-rare, each juicy bite released a wave of smoky, beefy goodness. Possibly top-3 steaks of my life - and I've eaten my way through Texas. 🔥 🐄 Raw Talent: Beef Tartare Pristine cubes of tenderloin showcasing pure beef essence. Pro move: ask for lemon wedges and pickles to cut through the richness. Tartare enthusiasts will swoon! 🌮 Plot Twist: Brisket Tacos The gentle braised beef filling felt underwhelming for spice-craving palates. Nice texture, but needed more oomph for Chinese tastebuds. 💫 Final Verdict From the sexy vibe to those mind-blowing marrow and steak revelations - totally worth the hype! Some dishes play it safe, but the stars shine bright enough to warrant repeat visits. 📍 Gardela 📌 Reservations recommended 👗 Dressy casual 💸 Mid-range #CDMXFoodie #ArgentinianFlame #MeatLoversParadise #BoneMarrowObsessed #MexicoCityEats #ThankfulForSteak #FoodieSafari
