La Flor de la Canela

This restaurant is 8 blocks out of mendoza and opens at 9 pm. We had high expectations for fresh and authentic Peruvian food but left disappointed. We had the fish cerviche mixta as an entrée, which was nice but the mains of hake and potatoes and octopus fried rice was below average. It cost 340 peso, which is expensive. Would not come here again so consider whether it's worth the effort of getting out there.

This is a small, not fancy restaurant with very tasty traditional Peruvian food. Price is good and food is wonderful.

It is a little off the beaten track, but worth it. It is a basic looking place, no tablecloths, airs or graces, but the food does all the talking anyway. If you are missing a bit of honest Peruvian fare, come here. Service was excellent too. My kind of place - the food counts first.

After steak overload in Argentina, we were looking for a change! As other reviews have mentioned, first impressions of the restaurant are slightly offputting- and we were the only customers there! However the service was fast and the waitress was helpful, even with our basic Spanish. The main dishes with rice were tasty and filling and whilst the ceviche mixto we shared had excellent (spicy) flavouring, the seafood quality wasn't good. Overall a cheap filling meal and a nice change from meat, but not the best meal we had in Mendoza.

This is a basic restaurant but if you're looking for cheap and tasty food then this is the place to come. There aren't any vegetarian meals on the menu so I just asked for Chaufu rice sin carne and they were more than happy to make it for me. And the salsa was actually spicy which was a major and welcome surprise!I recommend this place to other backpackers.
