"Neighborhood Tavern El Palenque is a classic where locals and tourists can both be found sipping wine from “pinguino” carafes—vessels historically used by Argentine gauchos nicknamed for their distinct penguin shape. El Palenque is fashioned after an old-time “pulperia” or tavern where neighbors would come together to drink house wine, eat bar food and catch up on the daily gossip. Order the melt in your mouth fried calamari (rabas) while you sit outside and people watch. Aristides 287; +54 261 429 1814"

The ambiace of El Palenque es deceiving, looks like a rustic, kind of country place but the cooking is more sophisticated than that! Yes you could find some classics of the Argentina cuisine with a twist (milanesas with different sauces) but algo some local specialities. The buttersquatch sorrentinos were amazing and also the empanadas of cheese and cured ham. The weekest part were desserts, the pear crocante was not that but soggy. The wine selection is respectable and the service excellent.

Good beer selection and good offer (2 for 1) in the evening. However, they had to serve the 2 beers together and for some reason we couldn't have them one after the other. Not very nice when it's 30 degrees at 9pm. Difficult to pay by card if it has a pin. Nobody wants to assist with that. Cash is their preferred payment method. Food and beer were great though and service was fast and efficient

Stopped here to grab a drink as we were strolling through Mendoza. Had a wonderful time sitting outside with a glass of wine and an appetizer. Wait staff were very friendly and helpful with the menu and even explained the meaning behind the name of the restaurant.

The best pumpkin sorrentinos I've tried in the last couple of years. You MUST try these.

Ended up here twice because we really liked it. Great service, pretty good food, reasonable prices, a decent but smallish drink menu. When we got here they were playing a great Manu Chao album. Would definitely go back, but not if I were looking for anything fancy. Shown here is their "ham heaven" pizza and some empanadas. Empanadas were okay, liked the pizza better.

A normal bar with very bad wine house! The penguin wine is terribly bad. The food is average at price and taste. It is ok for a night without being pretentious.

Great food in big portions, plus really nice service. Good value for money!
