I visited with my husband on our 1st wedding anniversary and was not disappointed. I had fillet steak and my husband had rib-eye. The portions were huge, we shared 3 sides but couldn't finish it all. The service was fantastic, the waiters were attentive but not too pushy. Overall a great experience and will visit again if we ever get... More

My husband ordered some of his favorites. He was so happy. So was I, too. Everything was so delicious! I want "Cambelache" come to Salt Lake City! More

Very tasty filet mignon, very big in the same time. The people working there are trying their best to make you feel good, but in the same time they are a little bit to pushy when the time comes to give the order. Be aware that they have steaks for two people that convien a lot better to three as... More

Have personally been to Cancun 3 times now. My wife and I make sure we eat there at least once while we visit. The meat is great. I have tried something different every time and cannot say one thing bad about the food. Our last time there though I thought our server did not have the greatest personality, but oh... More

Pricey and not gratifying. Salads weren't good. Mashed potatoes were out of a box. Meat had good flavor but everything all together just didn't make it a great experience. Won't be heading back. More

This restaurant is the best of the three restaurants owned by the same company. The other two being Puerto Madero and Bandoneon which are great in there own right. I have been to Cambalache many time over the last 10 years and find it to be consistantly great. It is like the others a bit pricey. You will find the... More
