For those of you that have spent any time in Mexico you know that steaks aren't always up to the same standards as we are used to in the US and Canada. I have been disappointed so many times that I have just given up. I eat chicken, seafood and some pork. This isn't a big problem for me because in all honesty I could survive with no problem just eating fresh fruits, veggies and seafood. Now for Doug this is a major problem! He is definitely a carnivore! Everywhere we go he tries a steak and everytime he is totally not happy with his meat! It has gotten to be a joke between the two of us, we go out, I order shrimp, he says "I think I'll try the filet." I say, "you know it's going to be horrible," and he says "somewhere in Mexico there has got to be a good steak!" Well we finally found the place! One of my good friends that lives in Belize was in Merida for medical reasons. Now Jan is originally from the Houston area, she knows a good steak! She called us up and said we had to go out to dinner with her, she had found the best steak in Latin America. We jumped in the shower, hopped in the car and off we went........
The name of the restaurant is Buenos Aires City, Sean and Susan good friends of ours had just told us about the place and the time was right, we were salivating!
The sign out front made Doug smile, Certified Angus, yum!!!!!!
Full selection of liquor and wine, even better.
Beautiful grill and sparkling clean kitchen, it's getting better all the time!
We arrived early, Mexicans don't generally eat dinner until 8:00 or 9:00. We were there at 6:30, first guests to arrive.
We ate and drank on the outside verandah were they allow smoking. This is Doug and me, Jan with the short blonde hair and Teresita our bilingual social worker who helps with all doctors referrals, translations and anything we gringos need in the way of medical assistance.
Look at this food! Absolutely perfect! Steak like I haven't had in 6 1/2 years! We ate every morsel and considering licking the plate, but I was trying to act like I had a little class! 
And for the grand finale there was a wonderful list of desserts, we were all too stuffed to eat but had to try one with four spoons, a delicious caramel mousse with a dark chocolate layer inside and lots of fancies on the outside.
Food like this may get me away from the beach more often! Chillin' in Chelem!
