La Rueda - Mar Del Plata Restaurant Review

La Rueda is a parrilla located in the central commercial area of Mar Del Plata. My experience with this restaurant was with doing take-out rather than sitting in and dining. I was actually very impressed with the whole operation of doing take-out orders. Even with the many people making orders I can confidently say that they didn’t screw-up my order and didn’t forget the chimichurri. I also thought that the prices were reasonable when opening up all the packages and seeing the amount of food that I’d received.

From La Rueda I ordered asado de tira, chorizo, salad, and rice. The asado de tira was very meaty and didn’t really have much fat that I needed to cut off; which was a good thing because I didn’t have an actual steak knife in my hotel room. Here was another place where the one order of asado de tira was enough for two with leftovers. I actually felt bad the next morning that I couldn’t finish the rest of the meat and ultimately because I was checking out, had to throw it away.

The restaurant looks very nice but what warned me away originally was that it’s one of those restaurants that has a flyer that is distributed in the hotels in that section where you find flyer/pamphlets of things to do/places to eat. From my experience I always considered those things to be tourist trap cards. However, with La Rueda I was very please with my meal and the reasonable pricing of the food.
