Fodor's Expert Review Cambalache
This Argentinean steak house is rustic yet elegant, with dark wooden tables and arched brick ceilings. Not surprisingly, steak is the most popular main; however, the local fish and lamb skewers grilled over a brick fire also make good choices. The house cocktail, clericot, made from red wine, sparkling cider, and fresh fruit, is prepared at your table. For starters, try traditional empanadas. Be sure to leave room for alfajor, a crisp pastry layered with caramel and pecans. The tango music coupled with views of Coral Negro Market give this restaurant international flair (and help you forget you're inside a mall). With room for 350 people, the dining room tends to get rather loud at night. There's no outdoor seating.
