Bendito Rufián Ciudad — Restaurant in Mendoza

Read the other reviews too first (hint-there's a lot of bad ones and the good ones are old). It was empty when I sat down and it stayed empty during my visit. The glass of white wine I ordered came with a bucket of ice. No decent restaurant should ever do that unless the customer asks for it (and then it should be questioned). If there's no chilled wine then stick the bottle in the freezer for 15 minutes. An option on the menu was mashed potatoes. I asked for it with my beef, but when I ordered it, I was told it was not available. The chef was too lazy to prepare mash. Fries was his style. It takes just as long to microwave and mash a fresh potato as it does to fry frozen fries. I didn't want fries so had salad instead. Poor. The chef had to get back to his tiktok online cooking lessons I guess. The tip was added without my being asked if I wanted to tip. Poor. Rufian in English means "common" or "rough" but the dictionary says "a violent or lawless person". Just about sums up the culture of this place. I don't know how it comes across in Spanish to include it a the restaurant name🙄 The food was mediocre and the wine cheap. The waitresses were friendly. Your choice. I won't be eating there again. My advice is to avoid it. PS-they just credited me back £0.01 on my card. I guess they are trying to insult my review😂 Try crediting me the whole meal then I might believe you're sincere! You should be ashamed for taking money from foreign tourists under...

The service is shocking, we've been traveling Argentina for the last 3-4 weeks and haven't had this bad of service. The waiter himself was quite good/friendly and you could tell that he was busy however the annoying part is the bartender is sitting on his phone not even helping to run drinks for his colleague and then I'm guessing the manager in the grey shirt is more focused on cleaning tables then actually helping the customers. Rough for the waiter because he really didn't get much help from his "team". We sat with dishes in front of us for ages while staff members continued to walk by. It's a shame because the location is great and they've obviously spent a fair bit of money to have this place looking as it does. The lunch special is great value and tasty, with paired service it...

⭐ Bendito Rufián

Vinimos a este restaurante con mis dos hijos (11 y 7 años) y lo primero que hicieron fue pedir DOS PANELAS DE PAN 🥖🥖. Yo pensé que el mozo iba a reírse, pero no… ¡nos las trajeron sin dudar! Mis hijos entraron en modo 🏴‍☠️ piratas saqueando un tesoro y yo solo observé resignado.

Mientras ellos devoraban pan como si no hubiera un mañana, yo tuve tiempo de admirar el lugar. El ambiente es precioso ✨, con una decoración que combina lo elegante con lo acogedor. La iluminación es perfecta, la música acompaña sin ser invasiva 🎶, y hay pequeños detalles que hacen que uno realmente quiera quedarse a disfrutar. Es de esos lugares que logran un equilibrio entre buena comida y una experiencia agradable.

Luego llegó la comida 🍽️ (¡deliciosa! 🤤), servida con una presentación impecable. Cada plato tenía ese toque casero pero con calidad de restaurante. Intenté disfrutarlo mientras convencía a mis hijos de que las sillas son para sentarse y no para hacer acrobacias de circo 🎪.

Pero el momento cumbre fue el postre: los helados GIGANTES 🍨🍨. Cuando los vieron, abrieron los ojos como si hubieran descubierto oro. Yo, en cambio, vi mi destino sellado: niños con sobredosis de azúcar.

Los precios son bastante razonables 💰, lo cual es un alivio cuando tienes pequeños glotones en la mesa. Y lo mejor de todo: el servicio. Nos atendieron con una paciencia y simpatía que merecen un monumento 🏅.

En resumen: mis hijos se divirtieron demasiado, no se portaron tan mal (según ellos 🤡), y yo sobreviví. Un lugar hermoso, con comida excelente y una atención espectacular. Volveremos… si nos dejan...
