One star. Puerto Madero in Kendall is waaaay overpriced for what you actually get. Food • Steak was about 38 dollars for a cut that nearby competitors sell around 29, and the quality did not justify the difference at all. • Caesar salad comes with a little Ken’s packet of dressing on the side, which is what you expect from a fast‑casual spot or a takeout salad, not from a restaurant that markets itself as a full‑service Argentinian steakhouse. • The choripán was a disappointment: the sausage was closer to a generic hot dog than to a proper homemade Argentinian chorizo. • Empanada was greasy and bland, easily one of the weakest items on the table. • Tiramisu tasted like something you pick up at a supermarket bakery; honestly, you can get a better one at Publix. Service • Service was lousy from start to finish; we had to remind the server about a missing side on one of the plates. • Water glasses sat empty repeatedly, and we had to ask three separate times for refills. • The waiter’s attitude did not help—short, not welcoming, and it felt like we were inconveniencing him any time we asked for something basic. Atmosphere and value • They present themselves as a sit‑down Argentinian restaurant with steakhouse prices, but details like packet Caesar dressing and low‑effort dishes make it feel more like a cafeteria trying to charge fine‑dining prices. • To top it off, the handheld card terminal pushes 18, 20, and 22 percent suggested tips, which feels almost mandatory considering how aggressively it’s presented, and the service we got did not come close to earning that. If you are in Kendall looking for good Argentine food and decent service for your money, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere; Puerto Madero was a one‑and‑done experience for me.

We had a mixed experience. I ordered the vacío and my kids had the kids’ churrasco—unfortunately both were very hard and chewy, which was disappointing. On the positive side, my wife’s dish was really good, and the cocktails and dessert were excellent. The flavors and drinks show a lot of potential, but the meat quality (especially for the kids) could definitely be improved.

Puerto Madero is really just another decent place. The food is good, that is if you want to spend an arm, leg and maybe a liver. I will admit though they excel quite a bit with deserts. The staff are nice however they always seem to be in quite a rush. Good place if you like Argentinian food but it definitely wasn’t or will be first place on spots to eat at least for me.

I’ve been coming to Puerto Madero for years and never been disappointed. Food and service is always great; breakfast lunch and dinner. Best four cheese empanadas in town.

Food not that good and too expensive. Service is slow. Don't be pressured to give a good tip if you're overall experience was poor.
Best empanadas and a variety of desert options to choose from. Lunch specials are a good choice and you can share a parrillada! And you can purchase fresh meat to cook at home. My go to place!
