Our taxi driver gave us this recommendation, and we are happy he did. This beautiful restaurant has been serving amazing Argentinian cuisine with local wines for years. Like everywhere else we ate in Argentina, La Rueda 1975 doesn't skimp on portions; they are extremely generous. They even started us off with a full basket of complimentary bread and butter, which was exactly what we needed after spending hours exploring the Iguazu National Park. The menu has tons of options, pasta, steaks, seafood, and more. I chose the beef ribs, which were big enough to share between two people. They were a little on the salty side, but still really tasty overall. The service was fantastic too, which made the whole experience even better. read more

Arrived 15 minutes early Then ignored for 30 minutes Finally started taking orders, one person said, skip me and take another person's order...waiter left (!) without return Host came to pick up menus and we hadn't ordered yet. Waited 2 hours for entrees - only showed up after asking for la quenta at service stand. Surprise, surprise 4 entress immediately served. 2 entrees came 10 minutes later. Three entrees were cold or look warm. One was rated delicious. Waiter came back and we were so tired and frankly pissed at this point. Restaurant asked to pay for our next bottle of wine, we asked just take off our first one--no way were we going to take any more time. Asked for bill...no one came. Table stood up and finally someone appeared. Waiter said kitchen had off night and so did you. Was that an excuse, a fact or an apology? read more

Stunning steakhouse you will only find if you walk 0.5 miles out of the tourist area. My wife and I were treated like royalty as we were met with a bilingual hostess. They have a great selection of beers on tap or craft beer in the bottle. The wine list was awesome. We ordered the steak, and we're not disappointed. This has to be one of the best Filet Mignons I have had. I would concur with a previous reviewer: if you really want medium rare, order medium. If you want rare, order me, a medium rare. Like all great steakhouses, no Cook wants to overcook. However, next time I come here, I'll order medium wrath in my usual medium rare. No, taking away from the awesomeness of this place. read more

This restaurant came highly recommended by our tour guide and locals alike, so a group of us booked a reservation for dinner. The exterior looks impressive and inside is elegant, with old school charm. There were quite a few steak dishes that sounded appetizing, including the Filet Mignon, Bife Chorizo with Malbec mushroom sauce, and Steak Filet with cheese, tomatoes, onion, seasoning, along with scalloped potatoes. I finally decided on the Steak Filet, and was quite pleased with it. The steak was on a sizzling hot plate, delightfully tender, juicy, full of bold flavor, with tasty melty cheese and fresh veggies on top. The potatoes were soft and pillowy, with cheese as well. I also got to try the other 2 dishes, which were not as good. My friend's filet mignon was originally cooked too rare, so she asked for it to be butterflied and medium well. It came back not butterflied and over cooked, so the meat was a bit too tough and not that flavorful. There was also no sauce so that added to the dryness. The steak with Malbec sauce was better, as it was quite succulent, but I wasn't a fan of the mushroom or Malbec sauce. Service was solid. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. After we received the bill, it took us awhile to figure it out because we had to count all our money (when 800 ARS pesos equals 1 USD, it's A LOT to handle). I enjoyed my meal and we had a lovely time together here (even if not everyone loved what they ordered.) read more

This restaurant is very busy and gets good reviews, so it was surprisingly disappointing. I ordered the fish, they got my order wrong, no big deal, that happens, But the fish didn't taste fresh, fishy taste, yuk! My husband's Ribeye was chewy, not good And the bill came with a couple mistakes, not in our favor, we got charged extra for drinks and appetizers. Huge disappointment! read more

Great food, we love the food. My wife and daughter had surubi and dorado. The food was fresh, good quality and quantity. I had Ojo Steak and my som had filet Mignon, they were both great. In general, we enjoy everything. The food was a bit less salty to our liking, but we added dash of salt, it was delicious. Hope everyone will enjoy this place like we did. read more

Food was all average except one dish which was very bad. The refused to admit that the cut of fish was either old or rotten. They insisted it was good and charged us. Also took 1 hour to get the food. My steak was not grilled as it was supposed to be. I think it was steamed or something it tasted weird and chewy and had a weird texture. They then argued with us even more about the fish. Refused to accept that it was simply a bad cut of fish. Horrible rude service. read more

Excellent food and service. So good we went there twice during our three night stay in iguazo. First night we had fish- delish and second night the steak. Highly recommend the shrimp appetizer. Make reservations if you plan on eating there after 7:00 pm. Also just FYI folks tend to dress up for this place so if you show up in shorts and flip flops you will stand out as being sloppy read more

The food and the service were both wonderful, we had a great time! It was recommended by our hotel and were not disappointed.

Special place, nice decoration and good food. Also spectacular local wines. Never thought will be so good.

We had a recommendation to visit this restaurant from a friend, so while in Foz de Iguazu, Brazil, we crossed the border into Argentina to try this place out. Our group consisted of six people, us, from the USA, another couple from Britain and another couple from Brazil. When we arrived the restaurant was very busy, however they seated us quickly. It took some time to get our drink order going but they were very accommodating in getting us tastes of their house wines so we could make our decision on what to drink. Service was good, they were responsive and got us all the things we requested. I ordered a rib eye steak, medium rare. When I cut into my steak, it was overdone. I called the waiter and simply asked, Do you think this is medium rare? Without question or debate it was immediately removed and replaced with a correctly cooked steak. I appreciated that there was no drama. Everyone in our party was very happy with the food, (all ordered steaks). How happy? Well, the filling day all six of us returned to have dinner again. All of us are wishing this place was a little closer to where we live! Side point, this is Jan, 2023, and the economic situation in Argentina is pretty dire. Because of their currency crisis, our American dollar was worth around $330 pesos. What did that mean for our meal? We had 6 steak dinners, bottles of wine, beers and desserts for around $100 US. Mind blown. If you are in the area the visit it definitely worth it. read more

Delicious. The food. The service. The wine. It was all great! We had their sarubi, a steak, salad, and their house wine and all were delicious. This place was such a treat in the middle of Puerto Iguazu. I would recommend either making a reservation or being prepared to wait about 30 minutes. read more

Unfortunately this was not a good experience for us. Lack of service not worth spending money here. Food was decent but not worth waiting for. Very rude waiter. Never got half of our dinner. We ended up cancelling one of entrees. Just go somewhere else. read more

Quietly elegant, food fresh and delicious. Beautiful service. Lovely dining experience overall. Highly recommend

After waiting one hour to get our food, one of the dishes tasted bad and we asked him if we could exchange it. They made a huge scene out of it with both the waiter and manager who essentially said that we were simply wrong! and thus they refused to exchange it. They demanded that we pay for it no matter what we thought of it. Absolutely totally unprofessional. read more

La Rueda is highly recommended by everyone, and with good reason. The ambiance, the perfect staff, and the delicious food add up to a delightful experience. They do take reservations, but they are extremely accommodating to walk ins, which we were. We had a delightful table outside on the patio. Delicious bread and wine/beer followed quickly, and then hard choices had to be made. I was extremely tempted by the pasta, but many had told me I must try the suribi, which is a River fish similar to catfish. Rueda prepares it several ways, but I chose it with a mild butter, herb, mushroom sauce. It was delicioso, and it arrived with smooth mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. My husband chose grilled chicken breast with veggies and potatoes. Both dishes were so good, but also so large. We did not have space for dessert, but those looked excellent. I highly recommend, along with many others! read more

The chef should be extremely embarrassed. My family and I ate here tonight after it came recommended by someone else on our tour. We placed our order, and it took around an hour before our main courses arrived. For the appetizer we got a salad with goat cheese and arugula. Every bite of arugula contained sand-- so it was clearly not washed. When we got our main dishes, my brother and dad had both ordered the Dorado. While my dad thought his dish was OK, my brother was immediately off put by a fishy taste. He decided to switch with my mom's Pacu (which I also ordered, and was good). She tried it, and was also extremely grossed out by a very fishy and maybe even rotten taste. She communicated to our waiter about this, and asked if it could be switched to the Pacu. Several other people came up to our table to interrogate us about this fish-- insisting that the chef said it was "good". We said we did not want it and they tried to pack it up for us. They told us that we would have to pay for the rotten fish, and we could not switch it for anything else. We told them to throw it away, because none of us would touch it. On top of everything, the waiter legitimately disappeared after this whole fiasco (i asked for ketchup for the fries, never came). Not sure if it is the chef or the owner's decision -- but ultimately a very cheap and bizarre decision for them to make. read more

Visiting Iguazú falls and I ran across this amazing place, it's my second dinner here and I can definitely eat here every time, Carlos my server recommended both times, second visit I never opened the menu, if you get a chance to enjoy an amazing T-Bone or NY strip (chorizo steak) please treat yourself you will absolutely love it!

Came here for lunch while visiting Iguazu falls briefly. Loved the rustic interior and ambiance of this place. Great selection of wines and beers. Got the filet and shrimp salad. Steak was amazing and absolutely must try. The salad was alright. Staff were kind enough to wrap it up as we had to rush for flight. Overall good experience, would def recommend coming here if in Puerto Iguazu. read more

The steak here was not as good as we thought it would be based on the reviews. It was fatty and cooked medium although ordered as medium well. The pasta was actually quite delicious, although definitely overpriced for the region. The service was good though, and the ambiance was nice. read more

I was recommended this restaurant by a local tour guide and it did not disappoint. The staff was very friendly and checked in periodically on how everything was. I tried the local fish with veggies and it was pretty good. The menu had a few different types of food to choose from. read more

Edible. Big dish size. Do not order fish, because the kind of fish they use is almost guaranteed to get overcooked/grilled. My neighbor table had the same feedback. Lava cake fit NYC standard, aka. tasted good. I asked no toffee on the top. Vanilla ice cream was a pass. Service was good but very slow. They also forgot my appetizer. Be aware if you are in a rush. read more

The steaks here are great. Cooked to order and the service is good. The ambiance is good and the music is just loud enough to hear. Make sure if you pay with American dollars that the bills are pretty much in "mint" state. Any little mark, even if made by the bank, will be rejected. This is ridiculous. I'm glad I had enough bills to make my payment. Don't waste your time paying with credit card. They give you around 485 Argentinian pesos to your $1 US dollar so it's better to pay in dollars. Other than the money issue, it's a good place to eat. read more

Recommended by our guide. Loved it. Excellent food, wine and service. It's just far enough out of the main tourist area that you feel Like it's authentic and prices are a great value. But easy walk into central tourist area. read more

The service took very long, we had to ask for our water 3x before we got any. The complimentary bread basket was very dry. The empanada was mediocre. The plating of the food was very cheesy and did not help the dishes stand out at all. The vegetarian dish of spinach tagliatelle was underwhelming and flavorless, the steak was served on a sizzling plate.. and not seasoned at all. My friends had to ask for salt to make it edible. On the plus side, the tiramisu was ok and the pineapple flambee was the best part of the meal. The nice part is they brought the check with dollar conversion option. This was the most subpar and also the most expensive meal we've had in Argentina. Would not do again.. read more

I do not recommend La Rueda 1975 at Av. Córdoba 28, Puerto Iguazú - (3370). SERVICE: The service was very slow in all aspects of ordering and receiving the food. My brother had to call the waitress to take our drinks at the beginning because nobody came to our table. In terms of the payment process, I gave them five bills of $20 and after they took time to visually inspect each bill, they came back saying that they do not accept dollars of $20, only $50 and $100. This was a false statement because I saw the group next to me paying in US bills of $20 and $1. The management is looking for new bills, and if you try to pay with dollars that do not look new, they lie to you saying that they only accept larger bills. If you go there, it is advisable to pay with VISA (do not use Mastercard) to avoid all this confusion and absurdity. Also, because VISA has a higher rate of value in terms of the conversion of US dollars to Argentinean pesos. $1 US bill equals around 800 to 850 Argentinian pesos (that may change). If you use a Mastercard to pay, you will end up paying almost double the price of your meal since Mastercard exchange value per dollar as of today is ~350 pesos per $1 US bill. FOOD: Regarding the food, I ordered my meat medium-well and it came medium-rare. My mother's meat came rare instead of medium as she specified, and my brother also had to return his meat to be cooked more. The ambiance was fine, but the tasteless food and terrible service made it not worth the time and money spent. Base in my experience, La Rueda 1975 is a low-quality restaurant that does not meet the standards of good service and food quality. It is not worth it at all to spend your time and money there. read more

This place was recommended to us by two taxi drivers and our hotel. They all said to go there for the fish. So, we ordered two types to try. The fish was good, but not that amazing. It was very fresh but it lacked flavor. I've had better river fish in Cairo, Egypt. So, if you've never had river fish before you might like this one. The carpaccio appetizer was the best i've ever had. Not fatty at all and super fresh. Try it! Our neighbor table (the Canadian couple) ordered the chorizo and it looked so amazing. Of course, I asked them how it tasted and they said it was very good compared to the meat they've had in Buenos Aires. read more

When you don't eat meat, you go Italian! In a party of seven with all types of diners. Everyone was beyond pleased from the starters to salads to fish to meat to the pasta entrees. Half the price of hotel dining and 100 times more amazing. And the crepes are to die for! read more

Our taxi driver recommended this restaurant and he was spot on.. it was great.. we had fresh fish and the T-bone steak.. my daughter had the sorentinos and said they were the best she had had... very good desserts and service was nice.

Truly outstanding food and knowledgeable professional service. We ate there two types of regional fish: Pacu and Surubi which were outstanding. Very fresh and tasteful, although River fish they were among the best I have tasted in years. I am only sorry that these fish and level of service is so far away. A wonderful experience! read more

La Rueda was great - extensive menu with delicious food and drinks, wonderful ambience, terrific service and affordable as well. I enjoyed the shrimp for dinner and the flambeed dessert was yummy. Joachim (co-owner) was attentive, friendly and kept things running smoothly during the busy dinner rush. I would definitely return to enjoy this wonderful restaurant and try other dishes on their wide ranging menu. read more

We visited this restaurant, located in the small town of Puerto Iguazu, for dinner. We had tried pacu and surubi elsewhere so we decided to all go for different versions of the dorado. The best version certainly was the one cooked with herbs and wrapped on foil. It was juicy, tender and flavorful. The other two were grilled and they were just dry and boring. Service was kinda slow and we constantly had to ask for things. Make sure to bring your foreign currency to pay for the bill, they give a better rate when compared to the bank or even credit cards. read more

I came here because I wanted local fish: Pacu, Surubi or Dorado. They delivered- I had delicious Surubi (type of Huge catfish) and my table mate had Pacu (related to Piranah) both were excellent. I didn't really care for my side of veggies- too oily. But the mash potatoes were good. read more
