Quita Penas Resto Bar — Restaurant in Puerto Iguazú

Red flag!!! I saw good ratings in Google map reviews, so I bypassed all the restaurants on my way but came here. 45 minutes wait for my food while there were only two tables, including mine. Not once the waiter checked on me and after the food was served, not once did he come to ask if everything is ok. When paying the bills, he asked me for 20% tips. I told him that is too much, he then said 15%. I told him I paid 10% everywhere in Argentina. He then accepted 10% but later still trying to grab an extra 30 pesos change. I ate 470 pesos food and gave him 50 pesos for tips. His original demand for an extra 50 pesos are less than 2 dollars. But it is just wrong and vexing. The food was average. I ordered beef risotto -- had too much steak and grilled meat in past days and thought for a change. The risotto is the driest I have ever had, but the taste is OK. Plus, it's a cash only place. Some people may think it's just the waiter I luckily met, but apparently the chef is slow and not mastering all the stuff on the menu. And there were three other people working there (one looks like the manager), they were just checking their phones and chatting while I spent 45 minutes waiting for food. No one said anything or at least "sorry the food takes some time" or "do you want more water?". For me, it's not just the waiter, the restaurant is problematic....

This resto-bar was by far our best meal in Puerto Iguazu and our server Pedro was respectful, charming, efficient, and effective throughout our enjoyable evening experience for our large group of nine. We ordered Pichanha a la Piedra for two which included generous servings of marinated soft beef, fried onions, French fries and yucca fries with a pico de Gallo-like salsa. The caipirinha with traditional cachaca rum has quickly become my favourite drink ever (those who knew the drink said it was the best). The style of the Resto-bar is casual, clean and well designed with photos of musicians inside, with lovely patios outside if the weather was warmer in the evening (it’s cool in the winter). Dinner time is traditionally 9pm in Argentina and restaurants fill up fast and get slow. We beat the rush by getting there by 8pm, but missed the live music that...

A rare restaurant that keeps their kitchen open late! We were desperately searching for food after midnight. The man standing outside welcomed us inside and cheerfully took our order para llevar, and quickly made us drinks to enjoy while we waited. The food was fast, delicious, and hot. Great service and cocktails. Thank you, you saved us from starving after a long...
