We recently spent 3 weeks traveling through Argentina, we had many great meals, but this one was hands down the best, great atmosphere, the best waiter, best wine, by far the best food and a great price. Please add it to your website.

I have had dinner here several times. It´s a very reliable place for good meat. The bife de chorizo has always been perfect. The sallad buffet is very good compliment to the meat. Popular place, often very croweded. The only small complaint is the quality of the wine by glass. Most of the times it is very good but on some occasions has it been rather poor.

Plaza de almas es un resto – bar ubicado en el Barrio Norte de San Miguel de Tucumán. Tiene entrada por calles Maipú (al 700) y por calle Santa Fe (al 600). Es un lugar con carácter propio. Dentro de su tipo, por lejos el mejor!
Plaza de Almas tiene muchas fortalezas. Quizás la primera de ellas sea la bellísima casona en la que se encuentra. Casona de mediados de siglo XX (planos de 1934 para ser más específicos – dato gentilmente provisto por uno de los dueños de Plaza, como cariñosamente la llamamos los tucumanos), con patios muy amplios, distintos niveles, terracitas acogedoras, rincones íntimos. La casa conserva varias cosas originales como la bellísima escalera principal. La vegetación de los patios – que se ve magnificada por una iluminación tenue- es otra de sus fortalezas y obviamente se puede disfrutar más en verano que en invierno porque muchos de sus espacios son al aire libre.
Gran parte de su oferta gastronómica está basada en comidas regionales (empanadas, dulces de cayote, zapallo, etc), comidas de otras comunidades que los tucumanos fuimos incorporando a nuestros menús diarios (como las sfijas por ejemplo) y sus famosas cazuelas o sarteneadas, combinaciones deliciosas donde la papa o el arroz se lucen acompañados de carne vacuna, cerdo o pollo y salsas de soja o inglesa.
Los mozos y mozas son gente muy joven, muchos de ellos estudiantes universitarios, con las ventajas y desventajas que ello implica. Especialmente los fines de semana hay que armarse de paciencia y esperar!!!
La “onda” del lugar es distendida y permite “desenchufarse”. Usualmente uno encuentra exposiciones de fotografía u otras ofertas culturales similares.
Plaza de Almas tiene “hermanos” en Tucumán, Salta y Amaicha del Valle, pero ninguna es como ella!
Un lugar bellísimo, digno de ser visitado y disfrutado!
Un dato importante: La página web oficial de Plaza de Almas ofrece muchas alternativas y ofertas culturales para todas las edades.

We were at the Hilton and the desk manager Rodolfo recommended this restaurant. The steak and service was excellent and would not hesitate to return. The restaurant is a short walk from the Hilton.
The location on the map is incorrect as the old location is shown along with the pictures. The location is at the intersection of Las Piedras and Prospero Mena. The phone is 4328050/4240133 according to the business card.

Restaurante Parrilla tipo Espeto Corrido
Reviewed By zip98221 - Anacortes, Washington
This is a wonderful place to eat an evening meal.
The atmosphere is great, the staff is friendly and fast, the food is great, I really enjoyed myself. and the price was great.
I had a bife de lomo (filet mignon), pure de papas (mashed potatoes), and a great Malbec.
Los Negros is centrally located only a short taxi rides from most downtown hotels.
Next time I am in Tucuman, I will be back, and suggest it to any friends visiting the ares.

We went to celebrate Valentine's Day. It started out well with a wonderful shrimp mango gazpacho. From there, it went downhill. The trout and the beef tenderloin were okay but certainly not exceptional.. The red velvet cake was moist but not extremely flavorful. The bill was out of sight. Very expensive and not a good value for the money but I thought perhaps we could somewhat justify the price by taking home my leftovers. Not so, they threw them away even after I asked for them to go.

At Mora, the green of nature and the modern architecture get together to create a unique place, in which you will enjoy the authentic Argentinean contemporary food. A proposal inspired by the search of the purest flavors and the use of high quality raw materials, coupled with a selection of wines, are the perfect combination to enjoy a first class cuisine.

Fantastic food and service. It was not particularly busy but this restaurant is a hidden gem and the prices are extremely reasonable.(sirloin steak for £8).

The staff at Il Postino were exceptionally kind and courteous to this Spanish-impaired traveler. The pizza was very good and amazingly inexpensive by US standards. The rest of the food was OK but we returned for the pizza and the friendly service. Visited in 2009 and hope this review is still accurate.

I did some research about Tucuman and decided to choose this restaurant according to some reviews from here and also been far away from the new poshy area of Yerba Buena.
Resto 9 is inside of the Garden Park Hotel, with a side entrance, and has a typical local restaurant look. Nothing modern or flashy. The menu is not very long but with some interesting options. Service wise, the waiter was friendly and helpful but not very knowledgeable.
We had as an entrance the typical Empanadas from Tucuman, but the dough was a little bit raw. The filling was okay but not too hot. Maincourse was excellent, the pork matambrito was so tender and tasty that melt it in my mouth. Dessert was disappointing, first choice dessert wasn't available and the one that we had, the house dessert of some sort of Sundae wasn't good (ice cream low quality, brownie badly done and the chocolate chips was a crush Oreo cookie).
A little disappointing after all, but we didn't have so many choices around. Lots too improve.
