Tucson Racetrack - Buenos Aires

Let me preface this by saying that Kansas restaurants in Buenos Aires there are two) are a favorite for us and continue to be a front runner, so we weren 't sure what to expect at Tucson. There was a Tucson which opened in the Unicenter...Mall years ago which was so so; now there is one at the Hipodromo Racetrack which may give Kansas a run for its money. The location alone is interesting. On a race night, you can enjoy seeing the horses as they fly by. There is seating outside as well as inside. The decor inside is very steakhouse lots of booths boxes , as they 're called in Argentina) but features natural beige tones in the background and is not as dimly lit as Kansas, with the grill along the wall on one side of the room. Superlatives: the drinks. Had a Cosmo which was perfectly made a first for me in Buenos Aires. Wine list very good. The filet mignon lomo) one of the best we 've ever had in Argentina was tender, perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth delicious. Middle of the road: The Patagonian lamb ribs lovely presentation, but I asked for slightly cooked instead of rare, and got half of the portion cooked pretty much as requested, and half charred and tough. The mashed potato and cole slaw accompaniment was good. Could be better: The salmon and pasta with Alfredo sauce was tasty, but had quite a few bones throughout. This might be understandable sometimes in a salmon filet, but there is no excuse when the salmon has to be cut into smaller pieces and tossed with pasta. Also, the service during the meal, which began well but disintegrated as the restaurant got full. Finally, the location next to the casino, which can mean a smoky hallway as you enter or exit the restaurant. All in all, Tucson deserves a try. Just go early, or make a reservation if it 's going to be a weekend night with horse races.

A Restaurant next to the Casino and the HIPODROMO you can actually see the horses from the tables at the terrace...that´s the lovely thing about this place...Food? is good, not complaining....its has the same style as KANSAS restaurant, not as good as Kansas though the...place and the view make it a must pass by to eat something place in Buenos Aires....enjoy!

I tried this restaurant a few times and the food was always just average. For instance, french fries are not homemade and taste the same as in McDonald 's. The only difference is to have a waiter/waitress serving you. Ambiance is just average too, with the...only plus of having a view to the racetrack. Gluten free options are really limited. The guest sitting service deserves its own review. The least I could say about it is that it is unorganized and inefficient. Today I had to abort dinner there because, although I was first in line, the hosts decided to sit first people behind me (not just one table, everyone!!! , just because they had a reservation. To make it worst, this was after 8.30 pm, which is the last slot for reservations. This means that people that arrived late to their reservations were given priority over me, even though I arrived earlier and queued for 20 minutes. Of course, there was not a single sign saying People with reservations can skip the line or something alike. Pure disrespect. I will not go back to a place where my time gets wasted like that. This restaurante it 's just not worth it.

This restaurant is in the new building at the racetrack. There were no races the night we went there, but anybody who wanted to try a hand a the one-armed bandit could do so. We were 8 friends for dinner. We shared an appetizer plate...(nachos, potato skins, etc. , which was not very outstanding. Everybody had steak for the main course, except for one who had the chicken picatta. The steak came with a baked potatoe with toppings. We enjoyed it. For dessert: apple crumble with ice cream, a huge portion; could easily have been shared by 2.
