Very alive. I felt safe. If you wanna enjoy the city, don’t miss the bus city tour ($38 aprox)

Very gorgeous park that is super clean, it’s used as intended and safe. Wonderful park that in the afternoon has people selling their artisanal crafts

Plaza Independencia is a beautiful and lively place to spend some time in Mendoza. The park is filled with huge, mature trees that offer plenty of shade, and the sound of the water fountains adds a really peaceful vibe. In the center, there’s an underground museum that’s worth checking out. It feels totally safe, with families, couples, and friends relaxing on benches or shopping at the pop-up vendor booths. A great spot to take a walk, sit with a coffee, or just enjoy the energy of the city.

This is exactly what a park should be. A place for everyone to hang out, escape the chaos of daily life and relax with your friends or loved ones. I visited the park during the Christmas time and it was decorated accordingly with a market on Tuesday and a beautiful Christmas tree. The sunset in the park was beautiful and we were lucky to catch a glimpse of a fountain show accompanied by Disney music. The Avengers theme is to this day goosebump inducing. Walking through the park was the first time during my stay here that it actually felt like Christmas. A lovely place and I truly recommend hanging out here!

This is Mendoza's biggest park and has a pretty fountain. It is a very interesting place where you can see performances and artistic activities everywhere on weekends. There are a lot of people, but it's not unpleasant. I was fascinated by the lively atmosphere there. The streets are not dirty, music is flowing, and small temporary stores sell various cute ornaments, bowls, and souvenirs, so I think it would be interesting to watch even if I didn't buy them. While in Mendoza, I visited this place every evening to take a walk or sit down and listen to music. It was a very nice place.

Good plaza\park with artist selling, the water fountain has a show and is the center of Mendoza city but you have to be careful there is a lot of people stealing or doing drugs

Love this place. There is such a great vibe here. You feel totally safe, even with tons of people around. The park is surrounded by tons of great restaurants. The water show at nice is cool.

The dont respect the route schedules and you might have to wait over an hour for another bus to come by. The also dont have a support system once you are off the bus to know when the next bus is coming.

We attempted to board the bus, assuming we could buy tickets on board. Incorrect. We asked if we could jump on and buy them online so we'd have time to enjoy the tour. Not only did they not have the option - they were quite rude about it. (Quite unusual in my three years of visiting Argentina). In the end we were basically begging them. Nope. Get off. A simple "We're sorry about that, we can't." would have been fine. Being made to feel you're one more annoying tourist? Not fine. They definitely did me a favor. I spent 45 minutes on their website and tried three different US credit cards. Generated two orders but couldn't get the payment gateway to cooperate. (For context, I own an IT company). After reading the reviews, I had minimal expectations. But the entire experience was dismal. Save your money, use Google to navigate where you're interested in and have a wander around. For that matter, for 60,000 you can catch quite a few Uber rides. Mendoza is great. This company? Pathetic.

If you are English speaking, do not go on this trip, unless you have been told the commentary is on English. We were not and the headphone commentary was constantly being overridden by the tour representative on board. Therefore we learnt very little about the city. We did mention this to the representatives on board, but they just kept telling us the tour is in Spanish. Not a great advertisement for trying to encourage international tourism.

Lovely staff. The other languages on headphones don't always work. Not a lot of history unlike Santiago Chile tour we did last week. If short for time not a bad idea. About 20,000 pesos per adult.

While the tour offered some beautiful views from the park, I found it challenging to fully enjoy the experience due to a few shortcomings. Firstly, as an English speaker, I felt excluded because the tour was conducted entirely in Spanish at over talked English commentary. This made it difficult for me to engage with the commentary and fully appreciate the tour's highlights. Furthermore, the absence of a tracking app made it challenging to navigate the tour route and anticipate stops effectively. This lack of technological support detracted from the overall experience and made it less convenient. Additionally, the requirement to purchase tickets exclusively at Plaza Independencia posed an inconvenience, limiting accessibility and flexibility as we wanted to join tour at stop 5 (other city’s offer this option) Overall, my experience with the city bus tour was below expectations, primarily due to the language barrier, lack of technological amenities, and limited ticketing options. I hope this can be improved for other customers.

A total waste of time and money. It’s better to get a taxi to take you to the few points of interest in the city. Also beware they charge foreigners double than to Argentinians. This practice is a total disgrace.

Quite reasonably priced, but the very little English commentary, was always drowned by the voice of the guide, speaking very loudly, in Spanish. As I speak no Spanish, I was not made aware of all the discounts and promotions on offer. Going through the park, whilst sitting upstairs, you need to be aware of the low branches, which might cause you some damage.

Well maintained and with good selection of theatrical, musical and comedy performances.

This is the most beautiful theater in Mendoza, excellent to listen live music, the architecture is old and so valuable. They always tried so hard to get the place as the original look. Going there to watch a show, concert always is a pleasure. Also on the winter break the best shows for kids play there. Totally recommended!

Very nice theater for a Provincial Capital

Great shows, great acoustic.

The finest theatre in the city. A must!

Phenomenal guitar concert on Sunday!

Tofo ok

Went on Sep/2025. Heard from Azafrán by the Michelin website. Food, service and atmosphere on point. Great wine pairing and storytelling, had an amazing time with my friends.

I brought my partner here last night for his birthday and we enjoyed our 3 hour dining experience. The staff were attentive and spoke very good English. They had good knowledge of the menu ingredients and their connection to Argentina. I was impressed with the extensive list of Argentinean wines on offer by the bottle and was also appreciative that there was more than just one red/white to choose from by the glass (whilst my partner enjoyed his Cerveza). We enjoyed the food and loved the presentation but unfortunately we had experienced an exceptional steak elsewhere in Mendoza. Additionally, we feel the Cachapa dish was overly generous, which may have also affected our enjoyment of the steak - hence the 4 star rating. Overall, we enjoyed our experience, so I've given a 5-star rating. For the same level back home, we would be paying significantly more. Thanks, Azafran, for the mini chocolate tart and bubbles at the end - was a lovely touch for the birthday boy!

Both food and service are outstanding! I would say the price (180$ for the set menus and 15$ per wine glass) is not justified at all though! I have been to multiple 1 & 2 star restaurants in European and central/ South America. countries that offered service and culinary experience more elevated for lower prices ….. So for South America and what is being offered , I would say the price makes no sense to me

Azafrán in Mendoza is nothing short of a revelation. In a city known for its wine and culinary prowess, this restaurant stands above the rest—not just as a highlight of the trip, but possibly as one of the best meals we’ve ever had. And we don’t say that lightly. The experience is centered around a single fixed menu, and what a parade it is. Each course arrives with that rare mix of elegance and surprise—flavors you’d never expect to belong together, fitting seamlessly, brilliantly. Every dish felt like its own little universe, thoughtfully composed, beautifully plated, and layered with creativity and restraint. Not once did the menu stumble or feel like it was trying too hard. It just worked—again and again. We highly recommend the wine pairing, though be warned: it’s a lot of wine. But what an experience. Each pour is expertly matched and generously served, introducing you to regional varietals you may never have encountered otherwise. The pairings don’t just complement the food—they elevate it, course after course. The space is intimate and stylish, the service polished yet relaxed. The staff is warm, intuitive, and incredibly well trained. And here’s the kicker: the value is nearly impossible to comprehend. This caliber of cuisine, service, and wine would be unattainable in the U.S.—not because it’s too expensive, but because this level of craft and hospitality simply doesn’t exist at any price. In Europe, it would cost four times as much. Azafrán is that rare dining experience where every element—food, wine, service, setting—aligns perfectly. If you’re in Mendoza, it’s not just a recommendation. It’s a must.

I wanted this to be a 5 star review but I have to say that in comparison to other, more affordable, experiences, Azafran paled in comparison. The food in most cases is good, not great. While it’s beautifully presented, the flavors don’t come through in any special way. The pairings also lacked, and I frequently found myself unsure of why the wine had been selected. There were exceptions to all of this; the steak, which was paired with a beautiful Malbec from MAAL. But even though the steak was amazing, the accompanying vegetables were a total afterthought. The salad was really impeccable, as well.

This was the best meal I had in Mendoza. The menu was inventive and every bite delicious. We were blown away by the meal and wine pairing. Extra kudos for them accommodating my gluten allergy.

Fantastic fine dinning experience in Mendoza. The food was refined and flavoursome, maybe not the most innovative but very enjoyable. The paring was outstanding, as expected in this part of the world. The place itself is good looking. Service was wonderful! Recommended

This is a great Mercado. It’s clean, orderly and safe. It’s more of a fine foods market than farmers market. A great place to great charcuterie and cheese, fresh meat and chicken, dried goods, sweets and wine. There are a couple of tasty places to eat lunch or dinner.

We stopped in for a quick lunch and were treated to some delicious homemade food! We ordered the canelones stuffed with spinach and ricotta, topped with homemade tomato sauce and plenty of cheese. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and reminded me of something my nonna used to make in her kitchen. The portion was generous, and the bread on the side was soft and perfect for dipping in the sauce. A simple, classic dish done really well!

Small market but has plenty of produce and of good quality to choose from. Ideal if you’re looking for charcuterie items or you want condiments such as olives, pickles, fruit/ veg etc. There are coffee shops and snack food bars also if you’re looking for something to eat.

A unique and fun experience with many great selections of various foods. Some, very well priced, others were okay value.

It's a nice place to buy alfajores.

Great place for local delicacies: wines, fish, meats, veggies

It's an old building, and should be a refurbished market. People can buy meat, seafood, fruit, veggies and so on here. There are eateries and restaurants inside, with many local customers.

We had dinner at this location while visiting Mendoza. The service and atmosphere was excellent. And, the prices provided great value. While we enjoyed our asparagus appetizer, the lasagna main dish left us dissatisfied. It was rather bland and didn't have the flavor we expected from this establishment.

This restaurant is seriously great. We went AGAINST the recommendation of our hotel and came here. It’s obvious this restaurant just wasn’t tipping the local concierge, because this food is seriously great. The best steak we had in our week in Argentina. Who would’ve thought that would be at an Italian restaurant. The carbonara pasta was amazing also. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality. Good wine selection at good prices too. You should absolutely consider this restaurant for dinner if you are visiting Mendoza.

Great Italian food in Mendoza, even though I didn't have anything but salad and panacotta, the smell and the look of the dishes talked for themselves. After a couple of days in Mendoza, my stomach couldn't afford anything else.. Next time, for sure, I will try the most representative Italian dishes of La Marchigiana

Simple but elegant ambiance. Great tasting food and menu offering. Servers had ample knowledge about the plates and offered a professional and relatively quick service. Appetizer and main dish are the forte as dessert was ok, nothing special.

Beautiful Italian food with a home cooked feel. Wonderful wine list and great service . More on the expensive side but worth it. Wear your loose pants :) And apparently according to the photo i found , Gwyneth Paltro and Brad Pitt ate there too.

The restaurant had a great ambiance and great wine but the food lacked in flavor. Maybe it was over hyped by the amount of reviews. We had the octopus and caprese salad for a starter. The octopus was delicious the caprese was mediocre. The basil was small and withered and the tomatoes weren’t great. For dinner we had the house made pasta trio and a filet with peppercorn sauce. The pasta dish wasn’t good. The steak was good but not great. The service was very great. Really wanted to like it.

The best restaurant I've found in Mendoza. Place is fancy, and food is not only incredibly tasty, but also plates are big. And when I say big, I mean really big, like having a hard time finishing the plate. I ordered a pasta with a weird name filled with "Goat in Cabernet whine cooked for 16 hours at low temperatures"... 16 hours! I know it is probably a lie, but it was the best wine goat filling I ever ateon my life. Pastas are their specially, but you can order other stuff. Place is not expensive, only slightly higher than a McDonald's. Unless you drink some fancy whine that is... Dessert is awesome, I tried their tiramisu and it was great. Totally recommend this place. Be sure to either go early (12:00) or ask for a reservation. After 13-ish you'll have to wait for a table.

This is not your average Argentine restaurant. The dishes might or not contain meat. Some are served family style. How about home made pasta with vegetables in cream. We loved it! They serve a wide variety of deserts as well. We sure didn't expect to see bread pudding on the menu. On the plus side all the service staff was female. The dinner was a good value as well for Argentina these days.

Cozy, comfortable dining spaces, especially the covered outdoor patio. The menu offers a good selection of starters and entrees. The papa tortilla Espanola was made fresh and cooked to perfection. Entrees are huge portions. Saw one family of four dine on a single order of Canelonni. Be prepared to share orders with two or more persons. Loved everything about F y F. ,ate there all three days of our stay in Mendoza.

Absolutely incredible Christmas Eve dinner here! We had an insane set menu that was so much food, we ended up taking a ton home! Would definitely come back here even for their regular menu, everything was absolutely delicious! Service and ambiance were fantastic as well, thank you for a memorable holiday!!

We had a lovely meal yesterday. Make sure you are hungry because the portions are huge and comes with complementary dessert. Main course is always for two to share. The place is very atmospheric and the service was great. Even though we don’t speak any Spanish together we worked it out. Great place.

Great food and excellent atmosphere and staff. The idea that everything is to share is great. Everything we had was excellent!! And the staff was extremely kind. There are a lot of locals and everything you get seems to be homemade as they say. Highly recommended probably best food in town!

Heard about this place before visiting Mendoza and we weren’t disappointed. Food was amazing, portions were also huge, and great value. Servers were also really helpful in walking us through the menu.
