What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Tatu Carreta offers a unique dining experience with a focus on expertly grilled meats and a lively atmosphere, often enhanced by live music. Diners rave about the quality of the steaks, such as the Ojo de Bife and Lomo, and the attentive service provided by staff like Hugo and Daniel. While most reviews are positive, some mention that the tenderloin can be tough, and a few found the portions for sides to be scarce. There's also a note about a potential credit card surcharge and a peculiar refusal of folded USD bills.
"What an amazing experience! They grill the meat right on the patio, where one can sit and watch them grilling. Then there is the harpist that comes out to play exquisite music (he might also perform indoors, but I sat outside).
Their steaks are delicious and sizzling when served. The Lomo (tenderloin) is most popular as they ran out when I dined, but their Ojo de Bife (ribeye) is also delicious. I had it accompanied with some Verduras Quemadas (grilled veggies, although translation apps say they're burnt veggies. Trust me, they're not burnt).
For dessert, I had their Choco torta, since I had heard their panqueques could be on the sweeter side. I really enjoyed the chocolate cake and appreciated the strawberry ice cream on top.
They have a gorgeous indoor dining area and a lovely outdoor area where one is sure to be visited by cats and dogs.
Usually one doesn't need recommendations, but it depends on time of year and how busy they are.
NOTE: If one pays with a credit card, there is an extra 10% added on."

"Amazing food and service. Hugo was our waiter and he was spectacular. Made us feel at home and laugh a bunch. Would recommend this place to any tourist who visits Iguazu and wants a great asado!"

"Ribeye was good but tenderloin was not. Not enough juice and too rough despite the fact that I ordered medium rare."
