Cambalache Restaurant Cancun

Address: Blvd. Kukulcán, Km 9 at Plaza Forum, Zona Hotelera, Cancún —

This Argentinean steak house definitely looks the part – its interior is rustic yet elegant, with dark wooden tables and arched brick ceilings. Traditional empanadas (turnovers stuffed with spinach and cheese) are always a good appetizer. Wine lovers may want to sample the house cocktail, clericot, made from red wine, sparkling cider, and fresh fruit. Although tenderloin steak is the most popular choice here, the lamb threaded on skewers and grilled over a brick fire is also delicious. Be sure to leave room for alfajor, a crisp pastry dessert layered with caramel and pecans. The tango music coupled with views of Coral Negro Market give this restaurant an international flair, and help you forget that you’re inside a shopping mall. With enough room for 350 people, the dining room tends to get rather loud at night, and there’s no outdoor seating.
