Tatu Carreta — Restaurant in Puerto Iguazú

What an amazing experience! They grill the meat right on the patio, where one can sit and watch them grilling. Then there is the harpist that comes out to play exquisite music (he might also perform indoors, but I sat outside).

Their steaks are delicious and sizzling when served. The Lomo (tenderloin) is most popular as they ran out when I dined, but their Ojo de Bife (ribeye) is also delicious. I had it accompanied with some Verduras Quemadas (grilled veggies, although translation apps say they're burnt veggies. Trust me, they're not burnt).

For dessert, I had their Choco torta, since I had heard their panqueques could be on the sweeter side. I really enjoyed the chocolate cake and appreciated the strawberry ice cream on top.

They have a gorgeous indoor dining area and a lovely outdoor area where one is sure to be visited by cats and dogs.

In the background there was a virtuous harp player, a master on his instrument.

The Malbec I ordered was also delicious.

From my experience I can only highly recommend this place and don’t understand the low ratings by others.

If I get the chance I...

Bad stuff: waiter forgot our drinks (twice!), forgot something off our order, took our plates as we were still eating and was generally slow service. However...good stuff: food was fantastic, you can see the food being cooked in the outdoor oven and grill and the guitarist was great! The steak was overdone to our liking but still was very tender and delicious, the chicken was crispy but juicy and the sausage was delicious. The complete salad was also very good, we've found it difficult to get anything more than a token salad in Argentina! Sort the service out and it's 5 stars from me, I would still recommend for the...
