Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - South American cuisine combines many different flavors. Argentinian meals are highly influenced by Europe. Most of the food is generally a variation of Mediterranean cooking with a large emphasis on the products that are easily raised or grown in the area, namely beef and wheat.

The Spanish and Italians made a big impact on the food of Argentina.

Some of the world's best beef comes from Argentina. The country is famous for its grass fed cattle and the gauchos who work the open range raising these animals. The meat is normally eaten with very little seasoning, using only salt to bring out the flavor. All parts of the cow are eaten, nothing goes to waste. The most traditional way to eat meat in Argentina is the asado, or barbecue.

Executive Chef Ignacio Uribe, Sous Chef Hugo Mejia and Sous Chef Rogelio Garcia have developed a menu reflecting the many flavors of Argentinian food. This special a la carte dinner menu is served from 5 to 11 pm November 3 to 8, 2015.
