El Salto de las Ranas

Rodríguz Peña between Santa Fe and Arenales. The name means Jumping Frog. This is supposed to be a Méxican restaurant. I have been here 3 times now. They have no clue. Avoid. It's only been open a couple of months and I doubt it will last long. Particularly avoid the carnitas. Go to the Peruvian place next door instead, "Las Cholitas."

I hesitate to ask, but if it´s bad, why go back 3 times? For real Mexican food, I know that Taco Bell is the only choice. Just like for all Italian food, Pizza Hut is the king. I´m quite glad that I haven´t spotted a Pizza Hut, Subway or Taco Bell in BA. I wouldn´t mind a KFC however.

I didn´t get enough Peruvian food when I was in Peru, so Maybe I´ll check out Las Cholitas.

Cuz other people wanted to go there. I always defer to other people's restaurant choices because I don't really care. That's why I've been to El Parrillón like seven times even though I think it sucks. The first guy I went with was not impressed. That was the chicken tacos and they were just okay. The second guy I went there with liked it (that was the least bad meal of the three, when we ordered it extra extra extra hot) so I reluctantly went there with him again. That was the cold, fatty carnitas. No más. They don't even have any Méxican beer there.

And if I went there three times, wouldn't that mean I went back there twice?

I went once a month ago, had a Corona (Mexican brand) with tasty, spicy well cooked chalupas, refried beans and some other stuff I don't remember. Probably a 7 on the Tacometer. The staff was obviously anxious to make a good impression and friendly, brought free shots of tequila around to start and I think to finish instead of the usual Jerez that Porteno joints offer. Noise level a little annoying and definitely a young Argentine crowd checking out something different for dinner. The packed restaurant/noise thing has kept me from going back but they definitely get into the zone of good, authentic Mexican food, imho.

Yeah, they have Corona (only) but were out of it two of three times and anyway I hate that beer. Mëxican Coors. And, of course, if I had ever gotten any free tequila they would have risen incrementally in my estimation. Agree the staff is friendly but not too competent in my estimation.
