Bottomless brunch was amazing. The service was incredible, I never had to flag anyone down to ask for another drink as the servers were always checking in! I didn’t get a photo of the arancini which was very delicious, I just wasn’t fast enough! Well worth it and will be returning again.

This 2 stars is for the quantity of the size for “ sharing plate Asado Platter $70 “ to my son had to buy more food on the way home My son ordered that in the hope can share with me but that portion is only enough for him. The taste is alright. Nothing is special My husband ordered lomo saltado rump. Again, the taste is alright, my daughter had tacos as entree, it’s very delicious she said . I didn’t want order so I got cocktail and was amazing ! Loved the vibe in the restaurant. Staff members are very friendly. Unfortunately I have to give 2 stars for the portion and the taste on meat should have improvement Would love to come back to have a better review ❤️❤️

The restaurant is located on a street with a great atmosphere, which I really liked. We went as a group of eight for a birthday. Most of us ordered steak, and one friend had chicken fajita. We ordered mashed potatoes to eat with the steak, and everyone also tried one taco each. Overall, the food was good. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted high quality. I also tried a watermelon cocktail, which was nice. The Cachapa Rump steak was filling, but the pancake served with it felt too sweet and didn’t match well with the meat. The steak would have been even better with a bit of rock salt sprinkled on top. The staff were friendly and service was good, but the food took quite a long time to arrive — almost an hour. Prices were a bit expensive, but overall it was a good experience. Overall, I was satisfied. It’s a place I would visit again for a meal, and I would recommend it.

Came in as 2 groups of 5 for dinner (with a reservation) on a Friday night. The staff were friendly and made helpful menu and portion suggestions when prompted. We ordered several dishes to share. The patatas bravas were nice, though be forewarned that garlic is a dominant flavour. Would definitely recommend the corn ribs though by far the favourite dish of the night was the cachapa rump. While the steak itself was chewy and hard to cut, which was disappointing, the corn pancake was so outstanding that we overlooked the steak, for the most part. Would have happily ordered the sweet, cheesy pancake all on it's own.

Thank you to all the staff at Cartel, especially the Chefs Joshua and Adrian for making our dining experience so amazing. We had the 2 shared platters between four of us and the food was so delicious. Also the watermelon Margherita's were very easy to drink. We had a great night thank you.
