Alma Argentina

Months ago, stop by to get some empanadas and vowed to return trying their food, wonderful decision The bread was good and clever idea to serve with the chimichurri, definitely made in house taste of the garlic parsley blessing for sure, good start! The “Alma” empanadas are my favorite so I went ahead and got six, love the Malbec red wine after taste, the Ossobucco/Chorizo tasted like sweet Italian sausage with red peppers, was good, but still prefer the Almas steak onion pepper infusion Never had a Milanesa but it is basically a breaded chicken or steak, but the breading shows the Italian influence that it had in this country because I could taste the oregano and some other herbs that reminds me of a chicken Parmesan but a different style, I recommend getting a topping, in this case the margarita that had melted cheese fresh tomatoes and dash of basil, for the side, I recommend a Caprese salad because the milkiness of the mozzarella compliments this very well, can’t wait to try the other flavors The Parilla Large feeds between 3 to 4 people, nice way to sample a bunch of grilled items BUT I should’ve asked what was on the platter so that was completely my fault. The first plate had some unique items, but some of them were too unique, still was a good sport and tried them anyway. What look like octopus tentacles with no suckers was actually Cow small intestines. It taste like liver with rubbery lining, everything on this particular platter wasn’t my preference so my rating wouldn’t be accurate on it as someone who eats those type of things. Now the steak plate, Flap meat and outside skirt steak for the win! You can taste the perfectly grilled (doesn’t taste too gassy or charcoaly) not under/over seasoned beefy tenderness with every bite, no tough gristle overwork your jaw or fatty cuts all lean juicy savory convincing me why the Argentinians are the king of steaks. The beef rib was a little fatty and I wasn’t a fan of it but the flap/skirt stole the show it’s ok! Dessert: Flan was recommended, it wasn’t bad, but just tasted like a homemade eggy flan, generous side though Mis Hojas: loved it, at first thought it was going to be too sweet because there was layers of dulce de leche, but the flakiness of the puff pastry, dulce mousse was also in between, with the icing on top was a perfect sweet punch and balanced, highly recommend so if you stop by here, make sure you know what you’re getting, but I do recommend any steak dish, salad, even the mashed potatoes(it’s a very small portion though), and last but not least that dessert Mis Hojas, you will thank me later, this place deserves more credit, and the service was awesome, bottle of wine for $25 that three people could drink off of, get right

1/9/2026 I went here with my mom for the first time and tried the choripan with chimichurri sauce, russian salad, russian salad, alfajores, and mil hojas de dulce de leche. Everything was consistent, but the star of the night was the ducle de leche dessert we had. Majority of the menu was meat-based, with very few vegetarian options to choose from. The food we ordered was very authentic like the menu. I would definitely go back again soon.

One of my go to spots in the Oviedo area and my favorite empanadas. I come here just for the Milanesa napolitano though as it’s the best I’ve ever had! Nico was awesome and if you haven’t tried yet you need to check it out!

We’re from Miami and were craving some good grilled meat — but not the typical American BBQ or a big franchise. That’s when we discovered this hidden gem! The flavors are actually better than most Argentine restaurants back home in Miami. The chimichurri? Next level. The meat cuts and cooking temperatures were spot on, and the baked empanadas — especially the authentic Argentine one — were absolutely delicious. Everything was perfect, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable. Totally recommended any day of the week!

First time having Argentinian food and Alma’s did not disappoint. I ordered the Milanesa steak sandwich with potato salad. It was delicious! My husband had the three empanadas and he enjoyed them. We took no pictures because we were hungry and the food was so tasty! Nico was our server and he was friendly and able to tell us all about the delicious Alfajor cookies. We will be back to Alma’s!

Incredible place, the food was delicious. The grilled meats were perfectly cooked and had a spectacular flavor. We were served by Candela. A very friendly and professional girl. I recommend this place 300%.

The food was amazing and Niko was really great. I had no idea what to orde, he was so kind and helpful and made the experience even better. 10 out of ten food. 10 out of 10 Niko !!

Alma Argentina Restaurant exceeded our expectations! We ordered the parrilla, which was packed with perfectly cooked and flavorful meats – absolutely delicious. The dessert was just as delightful, a perfect way to end the meal. The service was outstanding, with staff attentive and friendly throughout our visit. We will definitely be back to enjoy this fantastic dining experience again! Highly recommended.

My daughter and son in law took me here for my birthday. Food was fabulous, the staff was attentive. Parking was easy. Definitely recommend!

Incredible empanadas in lots of flavors, friendly staff, to-die-for red chimichurri...what more could you ask for?

Came back here for a birthday meal and my uncle wanted to try it all and let me tell you...ALL OF IT WAS GOOD, even the meats I was iffy about (personal preference only). We got the meat sampler that had a little bit of everything so we got to try everything. All of the meat was perfectly cooked and the sides and appetizers we got were so rich in flavor but not overpowering. It was a delicious meat fest and it easily could feed a party of 5 or 6 in my opinion....unless you're hangry ;) It also looks like they remodeled the place a bit and the seating and layout look very nice. Service was great as always! I just keep thinking about how tender and juicy the meat was and now I'm actually drooling thinking about it and now I'm hungry...time to go back!

STUNNING! Delicious steak. Hispanic steaks are always better than American steakhouses. $28 for healthy picanha cuts. I'd get it every time. Will happily go back here next trip to Orlando.

Food was tasty. We all ordered something different so we could taste it. We ordered the empanadas as an app and they were the best empanadas we ever had! The milanesa is like a schnitzel and absolutely delicious, but word to the wise they are HUGE! The service was good until our food came out and then the server ignored us the rest of the meal. I made eye contact with several times and she looked away. We finally wanted our check and a box and flagged down another server to get the check. We wanted to order dessert but decided if they aren't attentive enough to find out we weren't going to stay. She brought us the check and the amount was incorrect as we were charged for 2 bottles of wine instead of two glasses. While the amount was corrected, it shouldn't have been placed there in the first place. Additionally the receipt couldn't be printed and I still questioned the amount of the bill after the wine had been fixed. The bill was $137 and that's only ordering an appetizer, two glasses of wine and beer in addition to our entrees. To me that is a high price for schnitzel. The food is really good, the atmosphere is really quiet with large screened TVs showing European cities, the service and the total amount of the bill leaves something to be desired.

The best Argentinian restaurant in Orlando, my wife and me we ordered empanadas "delicious" and Milanesas !!!!!

We finally have the long-awaited Argentine restaurant in Orlando. Alma in celebration is a little corner from Argentina, which offers us juicy cuts of meat, milanesas and a great variety of empandas! with its typical desserts like the choco torta that we like so much, and the alfajores. In short, everything we crave about Argentine gastronomy is found in Alma. It also has lunch specials where it offers us, apart from many other things, the famous choripan. finalmente tenemos el tan esperado restaurante argentino en Orlando. Alma en celebration es un pedacito de argentina, el cual nos brinda jugosos cortes de carnes, milanesas y una variedad grandisima de empandas! con sus tipicos postres como la choco torta que tanto nos gusta, y los alfajores. En fin todo lo que nos antoja de la gastronomia argentina se encuentra en Alma. tambien cuentan con especiales de almuerzo donde nos brinda aparte de muchas otras cosas , el famoso choripan.

The baked empanadas were great ! It's fantastic that you have a choice for all their empanadas to be "baked or fried!" We had the Chicken, Traditional, the Chocolate, & the Tres Leches. Las Alma's Salad, and potato salad! Great service, and a small quaint, atmosphere.

Being Argentinian when I first moved to Orlando I was in search for a spot I can go to and have some GOOD food. I have been here twice before and can say this is the place I choose to come to for Argentinian food. The people working have always been super nice and very attentive. It's a rather small spot but a good amount of table to eat. I do know they will host certain soccer games there which is cool. The parrilla was pretty good. I do think this time around it wasn't what I've had before but with that being said it was still good. The milanesa is huge! Honestly you probably could share or have left overs. The fries are super crunchy and one of my favorite fries. The empanada is the perfect starter full of flavor and still have room to eat!

Excellent food and service. The empanadas were amazing n the milanesa delicious. Nico was our waiter n was a delight. We are looking forward to returning back for the outstanding service n food!

Wow! I absolutely ADORE this little place! If you love empanadas, this is the place for you - breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert. Great sides too. Food is tasty and fresh. They also make really great coffee - cappuccino, espresso (it's worth skipping the Starbuck's to pick up a coffee here). Overall, there are a TON of options on the menu to please anyone in the family. The staff are so cool - they dote on you to make sure you are enjoying your food. The ambience is very casual but also very cozy and nice. The staff are delightful and fun. This place is a treasure.

Really good food, great empanadas and so many to choose from, delicious meats, cozy atmosphere, good service too.

Everything went well. Excellent service, excellent fodder, great facility and excellent overall.

Always a great experience coming here. We were seated immediately upon arriving and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I personally ordered the house steak with fries and a side of chimichurri and it was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the fries were the perfect crunchy to soggy ratio lol. My group also ordered the parradilla for 1, but two people ate from it and it was a good portion size. My only minor gripe is that they brought us our fries like 5-10 min before they brought us the entrees. I wish the fries would've come at the same time so all the food could be eaten together and would still be warm.

Didn't know about this place and so glad I found it !! Let's begin with the very friendly customer service and let's end with the amazing food. My steak was amazing and everything else that we ordered was great. Tip: get the regular chinichurri and the spicy one. They are great.

Empanadas are good. We tried 6 flavors, 3 were very good (four cheese, beef and wine, philly cheese steak) and 3 were ok. Alfajor de maicena with dulce de leche, delicious. Staff very friendly. Very nice place decoration.

These empanadas are incredible! So much variety. The service was also wonderful. You have to give them a visit here. We come to Orlando on business about once a month and try out the local restaurants. Getting ready to get a place here and looking in this area. So happy to find this.

Alma is a small Argentinian restaurant in Oviedo. Located in a strip mall, no outdoor seating. They have tables and chairs or bench seating. They offer an extensive menu including empanadas fried or baked, parrillada meats (chorizo, pork, beef, chicken), milanesas, sándwiches, salads, desserts, a wine list... The service is bilingual, friendly, and happy to be there! The food comes out made to order, hot, and reasonably priced for the portions. My husband and I chose the empanada combo. The classic Argentinian- beef- and chicken both have olives, onion, herbs, red and green peppers, and hard boiled egg, Mediterranean strong lemon flavor, onions and tomatoes, The Porteño picante- not so picante with cayenne pepper flakes. Also the classic chicken is also very good and my favorite. . The crust is amazing, highly recommend them fried. Everyone in the restaurant seems happy with their food which indicates to me that the place offers really authentic Argentine cuisine. We will be back.

Stopped by this place in a hurry on our way to the Wrangle Up Rodeo Nationals to fill our belly's before a day of buckin Broncos. Let me tell you, the food is fresh and tasty. We bought a bunch of empanadas and loved every bite. Even gave some to our Bronco named Sally, and she loved them too. Get yourself down to Alma for some downright tasty empanadas. Don't mess with Texas

Came here on accident was trying to get ramen and they where closed and as we were leaving the parking lot we saw this place and thought to ourselves have we ever had Argentinian food? Nope! Came in not knowing what to expect. Place is super clean quiet and one of the most comfy seats I have laid my cheeks on in a long time.... Staff was super friendly and informative. Food........food..... was amazing. Steaks galore and interesting side dishes. We had three empanadas fried and they were top notch!!!! Best fries I have ever eaten in my life!!!!! I would do stuff my face here more often if it were closer to me.

Love this place food is always good and fresh. But the gold spray goat empanadas are not worth the hype or the up charge. Stick to the classic and the spicy sauce and the Oreo or alfajores and enjoy.

I found this place randomly on a facebook comment while I was watching tv. I didn't know there were any Argentinian restaurants in Orlando so my husband and I decided to go after 15 minutes of seeing that comment and it was the greatest decision. The restaurant is on small side but feels very cozy. The service was great and the food was delicious! We ordered a milanesa napolitana with a caprese salad on the side and 2 baked empanadas (pilly cheesesteak and caprese) Both delicious. For dessert we ordered chocotorta and flan with dulce de leche. The flan is one of the best flans &'ve had in a very long time. The milanesa was cooked perfectly and the flavor was delicious. I will definitely come back!

Delicious food and sauces. Love the choices and flavors of the empanadas! Small inside dining with televisions. Nice people who work there and take care of you.

By far some of the best Empanadas I have tasted and at a reasonable price. All empanadas are filled with no open space. Taste is so so delicious and many to choose from. In the picture the Papa con Queso and Pizza ones are showing.

The service was spectacular...for this reason alone we will be back. The steak sandwich was delicious...cheese, ham, egg, tomato mayonnaise and steak. The sausage sandwich was just as good. HUGE portions. I recommend sharing. Empanadas were spot on! The potato salad was a bit salty. The potato's were cooked perfectly. The dessert was a wonderful ending. We will be back!

Bueno nos impresionó las fotos de la comida , pero no fue tan bueno, sinceramente la parrillada no nos gustó , las mollejas parece que las hacen en la freidora, pero las empanadas riquísimas muy, muy buenas

Alma Argentina is a quaint and cozy food spot with a great array of options to eat. I walked in for a late lunch and am solely an English speaker. The owners are very kind and hospitable, but struggle with English. However, their staff and the menu is easy to navigate for my fellow English speakers. I got the lunch special with 2 x spicy beef empanadas, a apple empanada, side of fries and a drink. They also served me some sides of chimichurri which was fantastic! They even threw in a free dessert Nutella Oreo empanada. I would highly recommend trying this spot out! I love supporting local family owned and operated businesses and it's always great when they are deserving of such a high review based on the quality of their food and service

Excellent empanadas. We shared two for lunch, the spinach and then the corn. Grabbed an apple for dessert. Chose to have them baked, rather than fried. All served with a side of chimichurri, which was not needed. But tasty Hubby said they were the best he's ever had Very pleasant staff Reasonable prices. I think we will stop there for a snack frequently. They offer Milanese , and breakfast options. There were several desserts I saw going to the tables but did not see them on the menu, including a lovely looking flan. Very casual inside. My only concern is that no one was wearing gloves in the food prep area and also no masks.

Quiero expresar mi experiencia en almorzar en Alma Argentina. Probando sus empanadas... que desilusión por favor!! Las de Humita... no eran de salsa blanca y choclo... Si no eran de queso cremoso parecido al queso Cheddar que se derrite... con choclo y dos tipos de morro es verde y rojo! Eso en argentina jamás existe! Y probamos la de cebolla y queso... y eran demasiado dulces .. se les pasó la mano con el azúcar y ni siquiera tenían queso mozzarella!! Que es lo que la distinguen! Y la de carne Alma ... eran con vino! Un picadillo demasiado fuerte de sabores y pasada de sal!!! Encima que la masa ya viene salada!! Ni tenían aceitunas ni huevo duro... como debería ser una empanada classica!! Quieren ser muy innovadores con las recetas ... pero realmente no satisfacen el paladar.... Se fijan en no hacer una buena salsa blanca con los sabores únicos que lleva una verdadera empanada Argentina!! Están arruinando en llamarse empanadas argentinas!! Lo siento que tenga que escribir mi horrenda experiencia!

Great dine in experience in a small, and cozy environment. The servers were so kind and helpful. The owner didn't speak much English but he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was great! Chicken was cooked perfectly and empanadas were so flavorful.

Very authentic Argentinian fare. I ordered the beef milanesa margarita and empanadas. Really delicious. I drove almost an hour to try this place out and it was worth the drive any day. I'll be coming here regularly. Please come here and try this place out! Argentine food is amongst the best in the world and is very simple and not complicated due to its European roots:

Yum! Our food was delicious I failed to take a photo of our empanadas. But I did get one of our Parrillada and RIQUÍSIMO!!! Highly recommend, the service was also great. Very nice and quick with service.

Amazing atmosphere, service and food, and by far the best empanadas I've tried in Orlando!

Everything you can expect I been craving some empanadas and finally I found the place that make them, good environment and friendly servers , good food I'll be back

Small family run business with fabulous empanadas (dine in or to go), generously portioned sandwiches and meal platters. Service was great, staff very friendly and very helpful with recommendations. We had the 6 empanada combo (took 2 Hom) and the Mila sandwich (so satisfying, served with one side of choice). A gem!

Love this place. Great empanadas with a wide selection. I'll always come here for my empanada cravings.

My friends and I are doing a good tour around Orlando and tonight was my friend Martin's pick and he chose Alma. He's Argentinian and game Alma his stamp of approval and now we can see why! The atmosphere was incredible! Very friendly staff and speedy service. It is quite small and it fills up quickly! That said, they accommodated our group of 8 since we called ahead. I ordered the steak sandwich with fries and it was the best I ever had! I ordered 3 empanadas, Traditional Argentinian, Mediterranean, and apple... all were delicious! In total it took roughly 1.5 hours for a group of 8 with beverages, meal, and dessert. I cannot wait to be back!

Best empanadas in Florida. friendly clean excellent quality spot. Drove 45 minutes to check it after read the reviews. The home made mash potatoes outstanding. We will be back Alma.

Had coffee and an unplanned brunch date with my hubby today at Alma Argentina in Oviedo, and it was so good! We've been meaning to try it since they opened (3 years ago!)and finally stopped in today. It's so nice inside with such a great attention to detail with everything from the decor and cleanliness to the food and plating. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was inside. They have a lunch special for $12 M-F that includes an entree, side, drink, and dessert! They also bring bread with chimichurri sauce to the table. Our server was incredibly sweet too! It seems like a great place for brunch or a romantic date night, even just coffee and a snack. Sorry that I didn't get pics of anything but our coffee, but it was all delicious and fresh!

Cute little hole in the wall that I had to try! Didn't eat breakfast this morning, so I searched on Yelp for a quick bite before I run all my Sunday morning errands. This place popped up as I only searched for 4 stars and above. Came here at 11am and ordered two beef empanadas. I had the option to have it baked or fried. I had it fried! It was scorching hot (as a fresh empanada should be) and packed full of meat and flavors. The only downside is that it's way too oily. Maybe have it fried a little bit longer or have it sit on the drying rack an extra minute for it to form it's crispy crust before serving it. I definitely have to come back and try the other flavors! Employees are very quiet but friendly. Quick service and the inside is very clean.

We consider ourselves foodies....we have been wanting to try Argentinian food. We didn't know of "Alma Argentina", we stopped by accident with no expectations. The place is clean, super comfy chairs and excellent customer service. We tried 3 delicious "baked" empanadas. The parrillada was perfect "they know their meats" perfectly cooked and tasty. We will be back! 10/10 Support local small businesses, keep them opened!

Great food ! I had the combo empanadas. Pork, beef , alma. Very tasty !! 3 Empanadas with a Soda Meal

The food here is amazing. I don't know what it is called but they have this oil based dip to eat with bread. It is out of this world. Everything we've tried, we enjoyed. Obviously because we keep going back. The servers know their stuff and are so friendly.

If you like empanadas this place is a must. They have an ample variety of savory empanadas and sweet empanadas too! They offer table service if you want to dine in or you can walk up to the counter and order take out. We had the Classic Argentinian, Mediterranean, Spinach, Four Cheese, and Pork Shoulder Butt (see photos) My favorite ones were the Classic, the Spinach and the Pork in that order... but if you love cheese their four cheese empanada is very good and cheesy. We also order the House Steak. It was cooked as requested (medium rare) and was tasty served with French fries. For desert you must try their homemade flan!! I'm very picky when it comes to flan and this flan was delightful!! We also had the Apple empanada and a churro (also home made) They serve the churro with a drizzle of Dulce de Leche (which is a sweet caramelized milk) It is very rich for my taste so next time I would order it on the side. They're menu also offers Milanesas (breaded meat, beef chicken or pork,) and sandwiches. I will definitely go back to try their choripán!

Fantastic place with amazing food; whether you want something more traditional or want to experiment, they have multiple different empanada fillings. Our favorite right now being ham and cheese. We love going because it also allows me to continue practicing my Spanish and the staff is always so friendly and helps me when I get stuck on a word or if I have a question. But the food! We're slowly going through the menu and so far our favorites are definitely the Choripan and the House Steak (A generous piece of entraña if you're familiar). The chimmichurri is delicious, the cheeses they use for the empanadas is phenomenal, the milanesa is like I remember from South America, and of course they have Alfajores, plus, our personal favorites: Havanettes. Do yourself a favor and stop in, support them, they deserve it! We try to go at least a couple times a month since we found them. Keep moving forward!

Empanadas de carne were like eating in a restaurant in Argentina. The pastry was fluffy and cooked perfectly. The side sauce chimichurri was a treat. We also tried the dulce de leche empanada which was light and delicious. Café con leche was not like anywhere else in Orlando. The hosts came by more than once to make sure we liked everything. 5 star review

Wow!! I left so pleased and with a warm feeling of home. The place has the best Argentinean food in central Florida! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. The asado even had chinchulin and molleja!! Of course the chorizo and blood sausage were so yummy as well. ALSO BEST ARGENTINEAN EMPANADAS!! Please try it and see for yourself!

First time coming here and it did not disappoint from the food to the service to the cute decor . I'm literally in a food coma because I couldn't stop eating because it was so good lol. The bread with Chimichurri sauce was amazing. We had the empanada de pizza and empanada de queso which were so good. We also ordered the vacío and the house steak with mashed potatoes and fries. Me and my toddler tore up the flan con dulce leche we had for dessert. Everything was soooo good. Definitely will come back.
