02The beef

The menu has two lists. The imported list carries a Certified Angus Beef rib eye, an LHA Reserve filet mignon of 200 g / 7 oz, arrachera of 250 g / 9 oz and vacío of 400 g / 14 oz. The national list, Mansión Grado Supremo, carries a 400 g / 14 oz costilla especial, a New York Wagyu Cross, an 800 g / 28 oz churrasco, a 600 g / 21 oz porterhouse and a 250 g / 9 oz arrachera. Its introduction says careful aging and selected fattened cattle give marbling and tenderness it calls unsurpassed; it states no aging days, breeds or method. The word Prime does not appear. The number: 1957.

03The fire

The grill section lists tenderloin cuts in sherry or lemon, a 250 g / 9 oz grilled filet that can come plain or with chimichurri, short ribs and a 1 kg / 2.2 lb filet arm. Embers appear in the brisket crusts, cooked slowly in ember heat, and in the names of the beets carpaccio and the chicken breast. A business registry describes the company as a specialist in fine charcoal-grilled cuts; the menu itself does not mention charcoal.

04The story

Founding year 1957, stated on the house website and repeated by Chilango in 2009. The site names the founders, Don Julio and Doña Carmen, and the journey to Argentina, but it does not say where the first restaurant stood or how many there were at first. Today the site lists Palmas, Insurgentes, Bosque Real, Esmeralda, Camino Real, Guadalupe Inn, Tuxtla Gutiérrez and Satélite, with terminal 1 and 2 entries in the home page selector. A company registry places the brand under Grupo Restaurantero del Centro.

05The practical

The website places the Insurgentes branch at Av. Insurgentes Sur 778, Del Valle, Benito Juárez, 03100. An AAA listing gives hours of 7:30 a.m. to midnight on weekdays, 9:00 a.m. to midnight on Saturday and 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Sunday, and the phone (555) 523-2000; the listing is undated. Reservations through the website or WhatsApp. Until Dec. 31, 2025, the site offered free corkage, up to two bottles per table. The older Mexico City listing for this slug used Insurgentes Sur 1891, which the site assigns to the Guadalupe Inn branch; Steakpedia uses 778.
