The steaks are to die for, as well as the service and quality! My parents visit here frequently and know the staff well, when we came they had a table ready and a complimentary appetizer of French onion soup that knocked my socks off! We also enjoyed complimentary bread and tortilla chips with chimichurri, mango salsa, and Argentinian hot sauce. For dinner I had the short ribs with roast potatoes and salad...BEST STEAK IVE EVER HAD! Perfectly seasoned and HUGE! This place is an intimate little bistro that uses the freshest ingredients! The waiter Gabriel was the nicest man, he talked a lot to us about the town, things going on in the city, and made us feel like family! Hurry and check this place out!

We enjoyed one of the best Happy Hours in Mexico ever at the Bar, Lounge and Restaurant called…read moreGarufa. This place knows how to Happy Hour! This rooftop establishment with its incredible setup of indoor and outdoor rooftop settings. Plus, their combination of traditional Argentine, Italian and Mexican cuisines makes Garufa unique in all senses, gastronomical and tastiness and experientially. As you walk up the stairs one has no idea what to be expected. The moment you reach the top, the first thing that strikes you is the whiffs of various types of seasoned woods burning and the fabulous aroma of grilling meats throughout the restaurant and even more so in the outside rooftop area. Garufa's décor and styles are hard to describe as they are a mix of subtle modern, vegetations of various kinds placed about, yet spacious and open. The inside is more traditional, with mostly seating in groups of four, but outside the seating capacity ranges from small to large groups -making it a very familial and social environment. We started our adventure with the fabulous Garufa Margarita, Coctel de la Casa (Cocktail of the House) Mil Diablos (100 Devils), a fantastic sampling of Jamón y Queso that was astoundingly tasty and seemed as if freshly prepared. As we began to enjoy the initial stages of dusk, with the sun beginning to set over the open-air rooftop, we ordered our meals. Lomo al Vino Tinto, a gorgeous steak perfectly marinated in red wine, the Cowboy Ribeye con hueso (bone-in) was exquisite in its thick cut and grilled to perfection, the Lomo Argentino which turned out to be fabulous, the Churrasco Top Sirloin which blended a fab steak with a perfectly sumptuous Churrasco, and my wife's incredible Costilla Cargada (loaded) short rib corte delagado (thinly sliced) was to die for. As if really needed, some sides were ordered that turned out to be fabulous that included papas al horno, espinacas ala crema and a terrific Carpaccio de Res. I might mention that most Americans are used to our U.S. big box and corporate Churrasquerias or Steakhouses - don't expect that you'll have servers and carvers stripping meat of skewers with knives at your table - here you order your own specific entrée or meals... more in line to a steakhouse. This place is magnificent, from its décor, to the fabulous service, an incredible atmosphere, to the magnificent taste and quality of meat makes this a must stop while in San Miguel Allende. I have to say, their decision to call their restaurant is very apropos as Garufa means Fun! We're sure that's what you'll experience here. Buen provecho!

Oh for -- sake! This isn't a pizza place. This is an awesome Argentinian restaurant with…read moredelicious steaks! Sorry it isn't fancy fish tacos for the Americanos, but it's fabulous. If you climb all the way to the rooftop, you can admire the view of the Parroquia de San Miguel, while dining on 5 star Argentinian steak. Considering the silver mining history of the region, this is a perfect place to appreciate the rich multicultural heritage of this beautiful city. (Extra points if you understand that reference). Service is top notch too.

Our server was more than solicitous. He was charming and spoke perfect English. So far five stars! We ordered beef rare for one diner and tuna for the other. Orders took about an hour. We understood. The crowd was daunting. The problem was the food: Beef came well done, it was ordered rare, beef looked lonely , nothing else was on the plate. The veggies and the salad never came. When we mentioned this to the server he promised to look after us. He did . The veggies and the salad were smartly boxed for us to take home as we were leaving. Now the tuna, It is well known that tuna is a most unforgiving fish. You only need to sear it for a few seconds. Our came. It was a half an inch thick not thick as it should have been that is, an inch and a half at least. and it was fried and tasted like old leather shoe. Our desert was wonderful. It was.....The best part of the meal. Our server was an ANGEL He tried and succeeded in making us laugh and feel amused. We gave him a handsome tip. He deserved it. Would we go back? NO!
