Tatu Carreta

Puerto Iguazú


Located in a big barn-like structure a block away from the main restaurant strip, this popular grill serves up big portions to a mostly Argentine crowd. The outside terrace seating fills up first and is a good place to down some beers and watch the grill masters at work. Make sure to order some of the house special potato skins.
