Gotan - Argentine Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

Looking for a steakhouse in Mexico City, consider gotan. In my opinion the steaks here were lifetimes better than anything at Senora Grill. From the light piano music to the polished casual service this is a small Argentina restaurant that deserves your palette. The food beat the atmosphere, I could say "wow" but t that's become cliché. I was not disappointed and was wonderfully surprised by the beef. The ribeye was so tender and it the flavor was prefect with a slight smoke flavor from my he grill. The NY hit ever fantastic note of beef wonderfulness, the texture was prefect, aged perfectly. Ok, wow. I like and I would come back tomorrow. read more

It's too expensive for the food that they offer. I honestly expected more for the price of the food. Argentinian food is really good in general but it did not live up to the standards considering it was trying to be a high end restaurant. The waitress we had was very kind. Also beware of the big brother manager lol read more

The food was small portions but cooked perfectly, there was so much flavor. We tried numerous empanadas and I had the chicken with chimichurri. Service wasn't the best but alright. read more

Okay I had huge expectations of this place not their fault. The place is nice and simple down a side street. The waitress was nice and tried her best to help us since the menu was not in English and she didn't speak much herself. The empanadas were pretty good we got the ham and cheese and it tasted like a chicken cordon blue without the chicken. I got the filet mignon which was cooked the right temperature and had good seasonings on it. The chicken my husband got was a bit over cooked and tough to chew. We also got the au gratin potatoes which had to way to much cream and not enough cheese but I'm a potatoes snob lol. Overall it was okay nothing wowed me but nothing was horrible. read more

Disappointing, after we had heard raves from others. Charmless, and the server messed up our order ("medium" steak order came out cold and bloody in the center). After sending it back, they got the right degree of doneness -- it was good but not great. read more

Absolutely the best steak house in Mexico City Great service and very good food at a fair price. Staff was attentive and made excellent suggestions as my wife is on a restrictive diet and needed to adjust some of their standard recipes. The Malbec house wine was also excellent as you can buy it by the glass; interestingly you can buy a bottle and take it away if you can't finish it during the dinner. Nice touch ! Would go back anytime -- btw there are 2 locations, this one is across the street from the Hilton . read more

DO NOT GO HERE It was both the worst and most expensive dinner I've eaten for as long as I can remember. Staffed with idiots who will 100% mess up your order and food that is not cooked correctly, appetizers that are inedible and deserts that are so old, they can't be bitten through. My dinner for a filet/entrada/salad and desert was 780 pesos?!' I asked for the filet to be medium rare, came well done, entrada was old and disgusting. Desert was obviously super old. The only thing I could eat was the boring iceberg salad. read more

This place was right outside our Airbnb & a bit on the pricier side compared to other local restaurants, BUT still a steal in comparison to US prices. The Prime Rib was cooked to absolute perfection & was definitely a high quality cut. Everything was exceptional--the drinks, the food & the service. Don't hesitate to come by if you're considering it!!!! read more

Our group came here late one night, hungry for dinner since everywhere else was packed. The restaurant was surprisingly empty. Drinks came quickly, and the waiters were attentive and continued to refill our glasses. We ordered steaks and appetizers. After a 45 minute wait, we asked them where our food was especially given that the restaurant was completely empty. They apologized, and then we finally smelled the smell of sizzling meat. Were they not cooking it before we asked? 1 hour after we had originally ordered (15 minutes after we asked where our food was), everyone's food except for mine and one more friend's entrees arrived. By the time everyone was done eating their steaks, our food still had not arrived. I was basically getting ready to go home, hungry and annoyed. At this point, it had been an hour and a half since we ordered. Our entrees finally arrived and we wolfed them done. For the price, I couldn't believe how little food we got. It was good, but I would never return here. read more

Fantastic steak! We went for our last day in Mexico city, and just want to try something else. Find this little gem by our hotel! Love it and ate the whole steak between us! read more

Gotan - Fresh yummy steal! - Argentine Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

Such a great restaurant. Located right in the center of the historic district. Food was amazing. Would go back often.

Nice restaurant! Super recommend! Steak is awesome! The waiter also taught us several ways to drink tequila. Boss is generous, thank you so much for the dessert! It deserve the super rating. Although English communication was a little bit hard in the restaurant, and there is no English menu, but that's all right. When we asked what's the difference of steaks in the menu, they showed all kinds of steak to us for decision. When we asked what's the recommendation of different kinds of tequila, they showed all kinds of tequila to us and recommend one for us. Thanks again for the serving! read more

Came here 3 times in a week during my business trip. Food is excellent and addicting. Of all the food in Mexico, I enjoyed this place the most. I recommend the Argentinian steaks the most. Lomo: 2 great pieces of meat with salad Rib eye: fantastic Medium is grilled to perfection. read more

Wow, we went here due to 5 star rating and we were so disappointed. It was busy so we didn't mind waiting 10 minutes for a table. We were able to order despite our limited Spanish as the waiter knew some English. And that is the end of our good experience. Three of us got our food in appropriate amount of time, but one of those meals was missing the side dish we had ordered. My husband got no food. We pointed both missing items out to the assistant who brought out the food. He asked what my husband had ordered and even went and got a menu so my husband could point it out. So we assumed it was being taken care of. And that was the end of that not so good experience.... All 3 of us had eaten our food and we had made disgruntled looks at the waiter and assistant several times. Still no food for my husband or side dish for my son. Finally we flagged down the original waiter and he asked, what my husband ordered! No one had put in my husbands order yet!! He then said it would be 5-10 minutes more. They finally brought him and my son their food. Then a lady came by (manager) and noticed that both my son and husband hadn't eaten all their steak, she offered to cook it more. And this was completely justifiable as both had ordered med rare and the meat was absolutely rare, almost cold in the middle. We were so sick of bring there at this point that we declined and asked her to box all our meat to go. She took 2 of 3 plates away with the food to be boxed and never returned for the third. A bus boy collected the third plate. After another painful 15 minutes she returned with only 2 take home boxes and no check and said, "excuse me, service sucked". We wasted another 5 minutes trying to flag down a gal that appeared to only be cashing people out. She brought us our check for the full amount, no discount, no free meal...and had the nerve to ask us if we wanted to leave a tip (aka "service")!! Food was just ok, meat tasty but way under cooked, pastas were alright. SERVICE SUCKED, was an understatement. read more

Delicious! Indecisive and hesitant at first, I'm so glad I ate here! I had the plate that costed $379.00 (can't remember the name but it's bone in) and it was cooked to perfection! My date had the filet miñon and loved it. The service was on point, the owner even approached us and asked how we were doing. Nice cozy restaurant with all the perks. read more

The meat is so good and juicy! Usually I don't order steak because they tend to be dry or chewy but this restaurant made it perfect! The Empanadas are also my favourites and they have different varieties of fillings. The place is baby friendly and despite the language barrier they try so hard to make you feel comfortable. Very nice waiters and some of them can speak English. The owner is there too so you feel very welcomed! read more

Gotan - Argentine Near Me - México, D.F., DIF

It's a medium size restaurant for the area and had a great atmosphere. The waitresses are very friendly and I felt at home. I had a Malbec and it was one of the best wines I've had. The chimichurri is awesome with the fresh bread that is served before the meal. I ordered the grilled Tuna (atun) and loved it. I'd order it again for sure. For desert I had the flan de cafe, which I really enjoyed. I finished my visit with a cappuccino. It was small but all I needed, plus it was very cool-looking. I'll be back soon! There were several groups of English speakers and the waitresses were very accommodating even though they didn't speak English. I was glad I did though! And I am very thankful the restaurant didn't cater to English speakers like some in the area do. read more

Tuesday 1/17/16 from 8:00-9:30 we are the only customers. I would advise you to avoid this restaurant. Steaks- served medium rare and still dry, served warm, no wood flavor as is traditional. Sides- below average. Potatoes served at room temp. Service- inattentive. read more

Good food, great service. Only two negatives is that the owner has a painting of Che Guevara on the wall and they don't accept AMEX.

Went to Gotan for the first time recently and really enjoyed my dinner here. Gotan is the type of place where I can order anything on their menu and I know I'm going to enjoy. I had a steak and was served in a generous amount and was so juicy and delicious. The empanada and Argentinian Cabernet was also excellent. The service and ambiance was also great. Next time I'm in Mexico City I would definitely like to try Gotan restaurant again. read more

I went to GoTan, per my airbnb host's suggestion.  Let me preface the meal by saying that I was so happy that I almost cried!  It was AMAZING!   First of all, the service was impeccable; Sara made me feel at home.  When I told her that I'm vegetarian, she did her best to modify her recommendations to suit my diet restriction.  I really appreciate her efforts because most people either think 1) I only eat vegetables OR 2)  I eat chicken.  (I'm talking to you, American Airlines!) For starters, I ordered the 4 cheese empanada and humi.  The former was PERFECTION!!!  I don't know what the four cheeses were, but I could have just had that and been satisfied!  But when I tasted the humi, I couldn't stop eating.   For the main dish, I ordered ravioli.  Sara had suggested pairing it with a mushroom cream sauce.  I'm usually not a fan of anything creamy, but I was glad that I kept an open mind.  And it wasn't standard issue mushroom cream sauce!  This Argentinian mix had toasted grains, topped with freshly-shaved parmesan cheese.  I had to consciously put my fork down in between bites! Throughout dinner, my taste buds loved me!  The only reason why I finally stopped eating was because my stomach wouldn't let me!  I was so FULL! Aside from helping me with my meal selection, Sara also chatted with me during my meal, but without hovering. She made sure I was fairing well, and that everything was up to my standards. (The owner came by at one point to clear a dish; she was very friendly as well.) If I can help it, I want to have a repeat meal at GoTan before I head back to NYC.  Thank you so much, Sara!  And thank you, GoTan! read more

This little hidden gem was such a delight. The steak was seasoned to perfection and Diana, our server, was super sweet! So glad we found this spot. oh!!! And the potatoes au gratin were oh oh oh so good... read more

Amazing!!! We sat down and the owner came to help us understand the menu (we speak very little spanish). We took her recommendations, and were absolutely impressed. The bread is fresh from the oven with great seasonings. Our steaks were great cuts, cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. The staff was attentative. At the end of the meal we received her grandmother's marscapone tartlet which was honestly a little bit of heaven. I highly recommend you visit this little treasure! read more

From the look of all the past reviews you'd think this is the place to go, even on a Tuesday night in Mexico City. We'll that was NOT the case: FIRST, the two of us were the -only- customers at 9:15pm. At 9:30pm, two other tourist arrived asking for steak. They fell into the place. It wasn't a destination. SECOND, the staff was anything but attentive. Six (6) staff floating around, never inquiring about the meal or if you need anything. THIRD, the FOOD was a 'D' rating. Nothing significant with the flavor and the potatoes were even cold. No flavor, lack luster service and no focus. Something for an immediate revised business plan or a for lease sign. So, think about your options when considering this taste of Argentina. That's my two cents. read more

If you're looking for a good steakhouse, don't go here. The place was empty, service was poor. The food was undercooked and sub par.

This place was overpriced for the portions and the atmosphere with all of the TV's was annoying rather than relaxing. Nothing like an Argentinian Steakhouse. I would think twice about eating here. Your money will be better spent eating at a taqueria. read more

Awesome meat! I had the Tucumana (beef) empanada and a Chicken chimichurry which were good almost great but my son asked for a filet mignon covered with a caramelized fig and a wine sauce and that was outstanding. The reason I ordered the chicken was because I often get to be dissapointed with sub-standard beef, but this ine was really good. Needless to say I regretted not ordering a whole filet for me. Dessert was good too. Anyway I was pleasantly surprised. read more

The best chorizo steak I've had! The bolognese pasta that Enrique recommended was also fantastic! We enjoyed our lunch there. For tourists always have peso with you as there are restaurants such as Gotan who only accepts cash. read more

Super amazing service, the entire staff was incredibly professional and friendly. Would definitely come again and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a delicious meal! read more

My boyfriend ordered a steak (their meat is not Argentinian, I think it's Uruguayan) and it was really tasty and perfectly cooked, but I ordered the creamy pesto gnocchi and it completely lacked flavor, maybe having someone at least offering some pepper for your dish would help? It was homemade so I am sure they can improve it, the sauce especially. Also after reading the reviews I was kinda looking forward to meet the lady who owns the place but even though she was there and we saw her talking to the other tables even taking pictures for them and stuff she skipped ours except to say good evening. I mean that's not wrong and she was still nice but it was weird. In general I think it's a good restaurant for steak but it's a bit pricey (for Mexico standards), so if you order other stuff you will feel like you're not getting your money's worth. read more

Small friendly restaurant very close to Almeda Park. The food was very tasty and nicely presented. I had an empanada and pollo. The staff were very friendly and helped with translation to English as needed. I'll visit there again next time I'm in Mexico City. read more

Very good meat. Pasta is very good. The service is excellent and vary attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommended

Great service, even for our group of 11! Delicious food and an excellent selection of Argentinian wines.
