Argentinian restaurant
Rancho de Felix - Restaurante-Parrilla invites diners to indulge in an authentic Argentine culinary experience, where traditional dishes meet a warm and inviting atmosphere. This charming eatery is known for its classic offerings such as tamales, milanesas napolitanas, empanadas, and humitas en chala. The nostalgic decor adds a unique charm that enhances the dining experience.
We were greeted so warmly and given excellent attention by Eduardo throughout our dinner. We are not from Argentina and were not familiar with the food so Eduardo made sure we understood everything and made recommendations on local dishes which were delicious. His English was impeccable and he really took care of us.

The food was good, but too expensive in my opinion. 8000 for 1 milanesa with salad, 1 empanada, an flun.

Like a factory. Food is very mediocre atmosphere like in a large dining hall.

They took the order as soon as we arrived, we all ordered 2 empanadas and a dish of boodles. The order arrived 45 minutes later, of 4 orders only 3 were there. Mine wasn't. So I asked, instead of the noodles, for more empanadas, so asked for 6 empanadas total, after another 20 minutes and no empanadas, everyone ate, and waiter brought the desert, and my empanadas. Everything was done with bad predisposition, and the noodles the others are were dull, tasteless. Not going back.

Cheap but no value for money, meat was overcooked, wine on the list was not available, wine served was okay but nothing special, chorizo was super salty and not clear if it was pork or beef, the salad was super simple, a few green leaves some slices of tomato and some onion rings, service very mediocre. The ordered morzilla, was not served and after requesting they told us it was not available. We were there on a holiday weekend and the place was not full it felt like a Argentinian tourist trap.

Chophouse restaurant
Nestled in the picturesque Tafi del Valle, La Estancia de Los Santiagueños is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Argentine cuisine. This charming restaurant is renowned for its mouthwatering dishes, particularly the succulent churrasco and flavorful lamb parilla that leave diners raving. Guests appreciate not only the generous portions but also the fresh salads that accompany their meals. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, enhanced by lively Argentinian folk music that adds to the dining experience.
Friendly and personal atmosphere. Prices are okay, try the cordero! It's delicious! Our #1 choice in Tafí del Valle!

Nice Argentinian BBQ restaurant but many choice of meats unavailable. Good service. The food was good taste, a lil bit pricy

The cazuela was made completely from bones with very little meat. The bones that I would typically use to make a broth and then strain out. The empanadas were meh. The cleanliness was very dubious. We alerted the restaurant to this and they discounted the check 10%
Michael R — Google review
Expensive tourist trap, unfortunately. The service was poor, we got the wrong dish twice and food was not tasty, we didn’t finish it. They charge a lot for table service compared to the other places around and it was not justified.

Gross! Men's bathroom filthy, handrail broken, floors wet. Cauzela had mostly bones, gristle, and fat...very little meat. Empanadas dry and not much flavor. The best item served was the agua con gas! Some man behind us blowing snot out of his nose onto the street. I have travelled all over central and south America, and this ranks high on my list of worse places to eat! Gross!
Michael B — Google review
Not a good restaurant! They're meant to be a parrilla restaurant, but they had no meats available for a parrillada (we couldn't even order a sausage separately). We ordered some lamb and it was pale, tasteless, and tiny - hardly any meat. They had bottles of VERY old, totally rancid olive oil on the tables that should be in the bin. The staff seemed disinterested and they had extended family with loud kids hanging around in the restaurant. Only stars are for decent cheap wine, and nice tamales.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place and reasonable price, very well located, with garage, simple but sufficient breakfast, coffee and some slices of bread with jam. We had a problem with the water. The girls who serve very attentively solved it immediately. The room is small but with what is necessary, a good bathroom. Good shower. There is no air conditioning or fan, but I assure you that it is not necessary, at night you cover yourself with 3 blankets. I'm planning for when I'm back in the area. I recommend it if you are not very demanding and are only looking for sleep, a bath and tranquility. (Original) Muy lindo lugar y precio acorde, muy bien ubicado, con garaje, desayuno simple pero suficiente,cafe y unas rodajas de pan con mermelada. Tuvimos un inconveniente con el agua. Las chicas que atienden muy atentas lo solucionaron de inmediato. La habitación pequeña pero con lo necesario, baño bien. Buena ducha . No hay aire acondicionado, ni ventilador, pero te aseguro que no es necesario, a la noche te tapas con 3 frazadas. Agendo para cuando este de nuevo por la zona. Mo recomiendo si no sos muy exigentes y solo buscas dormir, un baño y tranquilidad.

(Translated by Google) It is a family hotel that lacks maintenance; The toilet didn't work well and I kept losing it all the time. The central heating didn't work either and when I went to say that it was cold in the room they gave me an electric radiator, something they should have put in without me asking, since we are in winter. At night there were people in the dining room shouting until 12 at night and I had to go down to reception to ask them to do something because I couldn't rest that way. The next morning I asked them for hot water for the mate and they wanted to charge me. They charge you 6 thousand pesos a night but they can't give you a thermos with hot water, it seems to me that this way they don't take care of the clients. I wouldn't go back. (Original) Es un hotel familiar al que le falta mantenimiento; el inodoro no funcionaba bien y quedaba perdiendo todo el tiempo. La calefacción central tampoco funcionaba y cuando fui a decir que hacía frio en la habitación me dieron un radiador eléctrico, algo que deberían haber puesto ellos sin que se los pida, ya que estamos en invierno. A la noche habia gente en el comedor a los gritos hasta las 12 de la noche y tuve que bajar a recepción a pedir que hicieran algo porque así no de podia descansar. A la mañana siguiente les pedí agua caliente para el mate y me quisieron cobrar. Te cobran 6 mil pesos la noche pero no te pueden dar un termo con agua caliente, me parece que asi no se cuidan a los clientes. No volvería.

(Translated by Google) Very good attention, you can see the care and appreciation of the visitor. The food would be a matter of taste, what I tasted was not bad at all but lacked zason (a fried onion with a touch of spice makes the change) (Original) La atención muy buena, se nota el cuidado y aprecio al visitante. La comida sería una cuestión de gustos, lo que saboree no estaba del todo mal sino que le faltó zason (una cebolleta frita con un toque de picante hace el cambio)

Cake shop
Located in Tafi del Valle, Flor de Sauco: Casa de Te is a delightful bakery that offers a wide variety of delectable sweet treats. From mouth-watering tarts to heavenly half moons and other specialty pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit. Their croissants come at an affordable price and their bran lactal bread is simply excellent. The little bills they serve are also incredibly tasty.
(Translated by Google) They opened on Saturday, January 4, 2025. The place is very good. Excellent attention. The cakes are very good. You have to wait a little to find a place.

(Translated by Google) Very nice place!!! Super modern and aesthetic! The service is good, very comfortable environment! The only thing that was true was that the bread they served us was obviously not up to date, the tortillas were dry as were the breads! From there, everything is fine. (Original) Muy lindo lugar!!! Súper moderno y estético! La atención es buena, ambiente muy cómodo! Lo único que si, la panificación que nos sirvieron se notaba que no era del día, las tortillas estaban secas al igual que los panes! De ahí, todo bien.

(Translated by Google) The first thing I bought were the croissants, a pleasant surprise because they were spectacular. I started buying regularly but they were no longer of the same quality. The sacraments would be the only thing I would buy again, although some sell them empty. I do not recommend the invoices with cream or cayote, too sweet and with raw dough. I also tried a sweet bread that was old and dry... (Opinion about the bakery) (Original) Lo primero que compré fueron las medialunas, una grata sorpresa porque estaban espectaculares. Empecé a comprar con regularidad pero ya no eran de la misma calidad. Los sacramentos sería lo único que volvería a comprar, aunque algunos los venden vacíos. No recomiendo las facturas con crema o cayote, demasiado dulces y con la masa cruda. También probé un pan dulce que estaba viejo y seco... (Opinión sobre la panadería)

(Translated by Google) Good food, abundant and cheap. There is only one person attending so you have to have a little patience. The tenderloin is quite large so 2 can eat, as it is accompanied by fries. We ordered empanadas to take away, they were very good and large. Highly recommended place for the price and quality. (Original) Buena comida, abundante y barata. Hay una sola persona atendiendo por lo que hay que tener un poco de paciencia. El lomito es bastante grande por lo que pueden comer 2, ya que va acompañado de papas fritas. Pedimos empanadas para llevar, estaban muy buenas y eran grandes. Lugar muy recomendable por el precio y calidad.
