Barra Chalaca Arévalo — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Went there after friends’ recommendations, ordered ceviche mixto, mariscos picantes y tacos de trucha. I really liked the ceviche though my boyfriend didn’t (was too acid for him, so he couldn’t enjoy the taste of seafood). Tacos were okay, though too sweet for me and the tortilla was very solid, crushed when I tried to bite it. Liked the spice that came afterwards. We were hoping to get a good main dish (spicy seafood with rice), but the rice was very overcooked, kind of a mass with no taste. So as the seafood: it was all covered in souse and tasted all the same, though there were a lot of langostinos, squids, fish in a dish. The taste was all plain. We ate a couple of bites, after that a waiter asked how was it going, and we honestly responded that we didn’t really like the dish, so he took it away and called a chef, who was very nice, talked to us and suggested to re-cook this meal once again. We kind of realized it was just our food preferences, so cooking the same meal again would not help, so we refused the offer. Btw this dish that they took away almost not eaten was included in the bill (9500 peso for it and ~25000 was the whole check). Though the portions were big, we left the restaurant starving as we almost didn’t eat the main dish, so only had the ceviche and 3 tacos for two people. Drinks were good, I enjoyed a lot. Guess we were just unlucky with a food choice, maybe I’ll be back to try something else, but not in the...

The service that day was very odd. Our server seamed confused every time we asked about something and she was always in a rush, she didn’t like that we asked questions or requested suggestions. The food was very good! I was obsessed with the trucha ceviche, would come back for that. We also ordered their famous huge green drink (that I forgot the name of😌), I enjoyed it cause I like these kind of drinks but it could be too acid for some. We also ordered the fish milanesa on top of green tallarines. For this last dish we were expecting a sandwich because it was right in the sandwiches and burgers section on the menu however it was pasta with a portion of breaded fish on top. It was a good place but I have had better Peruvian in BA like Tigre Morado...

The food is spectacular! There was a mistake with the link to the menu on Google maps and we had ordered looking at outdated prices that were lower than the bill that was presented to us when we got the check. The manager/owner was very professional accepting their mistake and billed us for the lower price that was on the link in their website giving us a discount. The waitress and everyone there were amazing and the food is very high quality. We’re definitely coming back and we’ll be happy to pay the current prices! (The prices in the link here on Google maps were wrong so make sure to check that with them when...
