Meson Gaucho - Cuernavaca

There are several Argentine style steak houses in Cuernavaca. In my opinion, this is the best of the lot. On a busy Sunday afternoon, attention and service were timely. I wanted to wait until my Margarita didn't order a rush. And by the way, the drink was great! The Gazpacho star was excellent. My ribbed eye (bife de chorizo) was delicious and just as ordered cooked. At 400 grams before cooking it was a lot! The Papa al horno was a twice baked potato that would have been better with a little less salt, but was quite deliciously different. Applestrudel Dessert was warm and had a small vanilla ice cream, delicious! And I loved that the waiter saw me go to the rest room and didn't bring the dessert out until I was back. El lomo al trapo seemed to be a popular offer, it is a serving for 2 beef lumbars wrapped in a cloth, salted on the outside, cooked in wood fired oven, and brought flaming on the table. My meal, including a generous tip, was 1000 Pesos (approximately $50), about half of what would be paid in the USA.

In a shopping area behind a gated entry. If you become aware, there is no English help on the menu and sparsely on the staff. The staff is friendly and helpful. Appetizers and wine were very good. Steak was prepared on the table side for the...Grill. The prices were good and the atmosphere was excellent. Worth the trip.

This is built inside like a wooden chalet, which is part of its charm. Food is average. Steak was fine as were french fries. Salad.......even the waiter was laughing. Half an iceberg lettuce dumped on plate with what seemed like half a bottle of balsamic...vinegar poured on tope and a bit of cheese. The lettuce was literally just chopped in half.
