La Cancha — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

Thieves and frauds! We ordered lunch for three, after first asking if they took Visa, which they assured me they did. They were very friendly, asking where we came from, and I said the USA. That was a mistake! The bill should have come to about 3000 pesos (already overpriced, as the food was awful). They added numerous extra charges plus a huge tip, bringing the total to 4200 pesos - then said they DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS. But, they would accept 100 US dollars, which by sheer coincidence (not) was worth 4300 pesos. I should have called the police but like an idiot I paid up in US dollars to avoid creating a scene, as we were treating an Argentinian friend to lunch.

These frauds and thieves should be arrested & put out of business! I will be lodging a formal complaint with the Buenos Aires police, not that that will accomplish anything. But if even a single person reads this review and avoids getting ripped off by these thieves, this review will have served...

Wish we had the read the reviews before going! They tried 3 of our English based credit cards all of which created a secruity alert. They also add 20% on the bills which was extortionate. They tried to separate us when we had to go and get cash which is a half hour walk away. We refused and forced the manager to drive us. Buenos Aires is a brilliant capital, the night before we had a superb meal including a full bottle of wine for less than three half full beers and what they call food, which was dreadful. Avoid at all costs! Watch out for the madam that owns it,...

They re robbers!!! Most expensive than Puerto Madero!!! Thy charge you more than at a gourmet restaurant, food is not like the photo! They will charge you with extras. Don´t accept credit cards don´t give you ticket to avoid taxes!! dirty, ugly people! Sucks! they only want to take advantage...
