Alta Vaca Grill Argentinean Restaurant

My husband and I wanted to try a new Argentinian restaurant in broward and after reading the reviews, we decided to go to Alta Vaca Grill on Nova Drive, Davie. We first called and made reservations, as the site suggested we do. I spoke to Serena, which was extremely nice. When we arrived at the restaurant, they had our table reserved with my name. We were lucky enough to also have Serena as our waitress, which was a plus for the experience. For starters, we ordered the blood sausage. We then ordered our main coarse. My husband ordered the skirt steak, with mash potatoes , a spring salad, and a sangria. I had the skirt steak with white rice and a house salad. Everything was so delish!!! Great flavor, cooked to perfection. Hands down, the best skirt steak ever. Not only was the service great, but the meal was amazing. Definitely recommend Alta Vaca for a great experience, but mostly, for s perfect meal.

We visited Alta Vaca and tried the milanesa napolitana and the Alta Vaca — both were absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is amazing, cozy, and vibrant, and the service was really good. We had a great experience overall. Thank you! Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Another great find! My steak was perfect, the empenadas were fantastic. All the food looked great, and large portions. Small dining area so you have to hit it at the right time!

La parrillada was fantastic great meats . Side dishes were to little for the bbq for 4 . That dish looks for 2 :( but it is ok . Service was nice, place is clean 100% recommend

Sister introduced me to this spot a couple years ago while in town visiting and it has been a great experience every time. I try to stop by every time I’m in town, love the Argentinian skirt steak, just very juicy and flavorful, also has a subtle smoky flavor that just kicks it up a notch. Love their mash potatoes and passion fruit dessert as well (which may be seasonal), always love coming here.

Wonderful Argentinean restaurant located in Davie. Some friends recommended it and we came to try it. The service was great (they charge a service-tip fee) and the food super authentic! We ordered a “alta parrillada” and added mollejas, with two sides: salad and Russian salad. The parrillada had everything and the meats were cooked to our liking! We had an “almendrado” which was as I remembered it from any restaurante back home. The price is reasonable too! We will try “milanesas” next time. Highly recommend this place!

It was our first time trying Argentinian food. We ordered the steak platter and it serves a family. The steak was cooked right and the flavors were spot on. Shoutout to their service, our hostess took care of us really well. A must try when you are in South Florida

I had a wonderful experience here. The space is charming and inviting, with great music that added to the atmosphere. Every dish was amazing. The coconut lemonade was phenomenal—perfectly balanced, neither too sweet nor too acidic. The empanadas were fresh and flavorful, and the churrasco was cooked beautifully. To finish, the mousse de maracuyá and coffee were the perfect ending to an excellent meal. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious, I stumbled upon this place with my wife and decided to order some food for pick-up. The food was ready at exactly the time it told us it was going to be, and when I picked it up, I knew it was going to be well worth the price of it! The staff was super friendly from the few moments we were inside to grab the food and while I was waiting, I got to enjoy how nice and clean the location was! There was nice decorations on the wall and I couldn't find a single crumb anywhere! The staff was also friendly and told us where to go to grab the food we ordered. I decided to get the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection. I will say the chimichurri sauce was a little underwhelming as it didn't have my flavor and only tasted like oil to me, so I didn't use it. The steak was flavorful and the portion was more then reasonable for the price! The rice was also very well done as well, cooked perfectly! I will for sure be coming here again in the future to try more of their food they have to offer and grab a couple drinks!

A hidden gem really. My hubby and I felt very welcome by the staff. It's bigger than what it looks from the outside. We ordered a few appetizers, ham and cheese empanada, chicken empanada and sausage. The ham/cheese empanada was my favorite. We also ordered this melted cheese app, it was really good. We ordered picana, entraña and vacío. Wow the entraña was so juicy and tender. Can't wait to go again! We were pretty full after so much meat, but there's always room for dessert. We ordered the maracuya mouse suggested by our waiter. It was delicious! A must try

We had four days in town and ate at Alta Vaca Grill on two separate occasions. Yes, it was that good! Hubby and I are former Floridians but were in town for my SIL's graduation. We moved to Georgia about a year and a half ago, which was a great move for us and we have truly loved our new home and hood, but the only thing we don't have in our new area is good Argentinian food. That's why when we got to town, we knew we were going to look specifically for a good churrasco. We discovered Alta Vaca Grill on Yelp near our airbnb and had it on our first night. Normally, hubby and I would split a steak but on this visit we each got our own and cleaned our plates. Alta Vaca definitely hit the spot! We each had a churrasco cooked medium with fries for me and rice for my husband. Every bite was music to my tastebuds! We loved it so much that when making dinner plans with friends a couple days later and the night before our flight back home, we knew we wanted to return to Alta Vaca one last time before leaving. I made a reservation for 8 and I'm glad I did because the space inside is somewhat limited and they were slammed. Despite the place being jam packed and us being a large party, our server was incredible as was their entire staff. Our food came quickly and tasted just as divine as the first visit. I ordered the churrasco again but this time with potato salad instead of fries. I asked if the potato salad was vinegary because I tend to be picky about those, but I was assured that if I didn't like it, I could switch it to something else after. This was great to know but not necessary as I ended up loving it along with the delicious steak. I savored every bite and lamented at the fact that I could not take the whole place home with me as I was not ready to let go. If we had Alta Vaca Grill near our new home, I would be there at least weekly without question. Amazing service with mouthwatering food and reasonable prices makes this an easy 5-star rating in my book. If we are ever in the area again, returning will be high on the priority list. If you are lucky enough to live nearby and haven't tried them yet, I suggest you run, not walk there, sooner rather than later because you will not be disappointed.

This place was amazing! We used Yelp to find a restaurant and landed on this business's Yelp page. They had stellar reviews so we figured it would be cool to give them a try. I'm so glad we did. The service was good and the food was great. It was flavorful and fresh! The bread was some of the best bread I've had in my life! Give this place a try. You won't regret it.

Huge portions, great service, well priced. We'll definitely come back. Atmosphere and good vibe.

Excelente comida y servicio! Ambiente tranquilo lo recomiendo totalmente, todo muy limpio

The night I have visited, Ft. Lauderdale has flash flood over the Broward county. Not many eat out. It is bad for restaurants night. I was here and the restaurant is empty. I don't mind as long as they have good food. I got the Argentina Flap Steak - Churrasco. I have it medium rare. The food comes out correctly. It also comes out with white rice. No other side. The meat also comes with Chimichurri sauce. The steak was delicious and cook well. I enjoy it. I would recommend to add more side to attract more customers. Overall service is good. Great for for the dinner.

The food was the most authentic Argentinian meal I've ever tried in the U.S. They are very friendly and super nice. The environment is Argentinian at the moment you enter the place. Love this place! I'm coming back soon for sure. A bit far from Miami but so worthy to drive here!

Let me tell you the food was excellent. We truly enjoyed it. The prices are fair too. The service was perfect. The girl was very attentive and polite. Last but not least the ambience was cool. Other than the loud table celebrating a birthday my date and I had a very romantic Time. I would recommend this to Latin's and non-Latin's.

Our server, Chris, was fantastic. He was warm, attentive, and had great recommendations. We all ended up ordering the skirt steak based on his suggestion, and it was absolutely perfect. For dessert, we shared the passion fruit mousse and crème brûlée, and both were incredible. Everything came out quickly and tasted fresh and delicious.

Food was good. Hot and fresh. Very friendly workers. Explained everything well. There's some sort of smell in the restaurant. I can't tell whether it's the meat or the room freshener. Plenty of seating

So far, Alta Vaca Grill has been the best Argentinian restaurant I've eaten at. The staff are professional and attentive. The food tastes fresh, which (unfortunately) is hard to come by. The dessert picture was amazing

We both ordered the skirt steak. I couldn't decide between the mashed potatoes and the potato salad. I ordered the mashed potatoes to be safe. Server was so sweet she still brought me the potato salad. Im glad she did because it was a nice compliment to the steak. The steak itself was pretty delicious. It's a small space. Very intimate.

La comida exelente! El sabor la coccion todo!! Muy buen servicio super atentos! Lo re recomiendo!!

We came to Ft Lauderdale for a Caribbean cruise. Not knowing the area, we decided to try out Alta Vaca. We started with beef empanadas, which were very good. Beef wrapped in a delicious dough and perfectly baked toasty brown served with a fresh tomato, onion, and a bit of jalapeño. It was not spicy Next we ate the cap steak and skirt steak. The waitress said everyone comes for the skirt steak. Steaks were both served with chimichurri sauce. Both were very good. It was the most tender skirt steak we ever eaten. The waitress said the skirt steak comes from Argentina. We highly recommend Alta Vaca Grill. If you're a visitor, definitely come for the good food and great hospitality.

My boyfriend and I met with some close friends to talk about stuff and we had the most amazing food. We got blood sausage. My first time trying, I loved. Kevin ate a little too. Kevin ordered sweet bread. It was also good. Kevin liked it more than the blood sausage. We all got steak. It was amazing. Kevins my boyfriend btw

Awesome experience, not a very fancy restaurant but the food is amazing. My wife brought me here for my birthday and she knows I love to eat red meat. We got there got served and the waiter was super nice and efficient. Totally enjoyed the food and glad to finally go to a restaurant that the money was well spent and you leave happy. Will recommend and come again.

We enjoyed the Picanha and the Entraña Parriladas. Superb! And the service really couldn't be better.

This is a great addition to the restaurant line up in Davie. If you enjoy meat and want to try an authentic Argentinean place, this is it. Their meats are cooked in a charcoal grill and always done to perfection. They also have delicious empanadas, perfectly cooked and juicy. The restaurant is small and casual with about 10 tables inside and a few tables outside. Service is always friendly and fast. In addition to soft drinks, wine and beer are part of the menu, and they also have a nice selection of desserts, including alfajores, passion fruit moose and a Brazilian specialty called Qindim (made with eggs, sugar and coconut) -- delicious! Everything I have tried here has been excellent. Give it a try if you are in the area. Cheers!

Cute small spot to catch lunch or dinner This kept coming up with good reviews and I was in the area and stopped by to try. Yummy Argentinian food! The place is located in a small shopping center but has plenty of space to sit outside and a small area inside. Good spot for soccer games. Luckily when I arrived it was not packed. But that slowly changed. The waitress took my order and it came out almost right away. Always a plus for me. Order: Beef Empanada - 4/5 Big empanada Skirt Steak - 4/5 Big portion of steak with white rice Overall the food was good and the service was good as well

Nice find when visiting from out of State. Portions are not too large and flavor and seasoning is on point with some of the best Argentinian restaurants, even in Argentina. The place is family owned and the way they care for their customers shows that they actually want to make you feel welcomed. Our waitress was not only an Argentine beauty but great at customer service. The little extras (papas fritas and fresh warm bread) make the meal that much better. If you are like me and want to keep smaller establishments going, especially those that serve good food with a smile, then try this place when in town. Gracias Alta Vaca y vamos Argentina !

Located right across the street from Towers shops in a small, quaint plaza is this really yummy Argentinian spot. It was our first time trying this place, which was recommended by family - who don't even live here. It's on the smaller side in terms of size, not really suitable for super large parties, but we went with a group of 7 personas. Not confirmed, but word on the street was that this place used to be a food truck down South in the Miami area, and they only did small bites, sandwiches, and desserts. But, we came for a birthday and the birthday girl wanted the meat platter. And who can say no to Argentinean meat. So, we got the Alta Parrillada Platter, medium cooked, which comes with picanha, skirt steak, chicken breast, sausage, blood sausage, and flap steak. We ended up ordering two platters for the 7 of us, and we still had some leftovers as well. The platters come with 2 sides: we mixed and matched with the fries, rice, and mash. The mash was super buttery. The meats were all cooked perfectly. The blood sausage was more on the moist side and not dry at all. I would definitely come here when I am craving meats.

Friday night and we got sat right away. All the servers were super friendly and attentive. We started with two Argentinian beers (given in ice cold cups), followed by empanadas (beer & ham + cheese) and topped the dinner off with a parrillada for two. As our sides we got rice and potato salad both of which were great. Within the parrillada, our favorite was the vacio steak and blood sausage. Prices are reasonable. We will definitely come back!

The steaks were prepared perfectly. The service was fantastic. And very reasonably priced! We will be recommending this to Oliver and coming back soon.

This is an excellent family owned place with amazing quality steak. The entraña is my favorite. The prices are fair and the service is good. It's one of my favorite places in Broward.

If you don't go here and get the vacio or the lomito sandwich, I don't know what to tell you. The yuca frita? Amazing. Everything about this place was phenomenal. Can't wait to be a regular.

Went here for a lunch and it was good. The steak was juicy and delicious but one of the party ordered medium rare and definitely got a rare steak. The servers were attentive and considerate. The restaurant has cite decor that is cow themed, which makes sense for an Argentinian grill and the cutouts of Messi were fitting. Would go again. My only wish is that there were some sides that had beans. It was all potatoes or rice.

A piece of Argentina in Davie! Excellent and Delicious food from the appetizer to the main course! The customer service was excellent. Highly recommended!

Everything was excellent! The steak, bread, salad, wine and the desserts! I was blown away by the passion fruit mousse. Outstanding flavors!

It was so good! We went on a random Tuesday night. Sat down right away. There was only one other table occupied so we almost had the whole place to ourselves. Our waitress, Serena, informed us happy hour was still on. I ordered a Corona and an order of mollejas which was part of the happy hour special. I believe both were half price. We ordered a parrillada and asked to replace the chicken for an extra chorizo and morcilla. They obliged. It comes with 2 sides. The bread that they bring out of the oven was so delicious and smoking hot. The Chimichurri was really good too. Place is decorated real cute. Serena provided awesome service! Parking is right in front of the restaurant. Next time, we're going to order empanadas and desserts. I think total was around $82. We hope to go back real soon! We really liked it Go check them out.

Good food, good service, good prices--what's not to like? The skirt steak tasty and juicy and cooked perfectly. Good Argentinian house wine. Always friendly service. Casual, family atmosphere.

If you're looking for delicious Argentinian food, look no further. This place has excellent selection of meats, with healthy portions, and a wide variety of dishes. Chill ambiance and servers were very attentive and went the extra mile. Will be back for their empanadas, morcilla, and vacío. 5/5 stars!

So so delicious.. I'm Argentinian and this was the most similar to the real deal. Very quick and attentive as well 10/10

If you like meat come here. Pretty much the end of this review Amazing service, flavor, GENEROUS portions. Delicious sauces. Tried: The salad The empanadas The premium plates Fries Mashed Potatoes Potato salad You could pass on the salad ( dressings aren't house made) but the meat and flavor is PREMO. In my town these platters would run 85-90 bucks easily instead of 75. We had 4 people ( big eaters / adult human weight lifters ) got 2 and had leftovers.

Amazing steak!!! Super nice and friendly service, large menu with all the argentinian classics.

Great food, firndly service and a price that cannot be beat by any other Argentinian restaurant in South Florida. The meat quality is amazing and tender, try the Vacio (flank steak) and you will be co,ming back for more. Great chorizo and morcillas and delicious and juicy empanadas. Fast and courteous service and always managed by the owners so you know the quality is always the same. Cannot recommend this place enough!

We always come here due to the freshness and good quality food. Fast service. I can say this is well made Argentinian good. New and family restaurant that deserves success. Go and try it!!

Just phenomenal. Walk through the doors to be welcomed by the scent of freshly smoked meat and friendly servers. The bread was warm and toasty, served with some chimi-style onions. Salad was fresh and crisp. The steak was melt in your mouth juicy and cooked to perfection. The dulce de leche pancake was to die for. Can't wait to come back. What a hidden gem! Thank you!

Found this place because it was recommended and based on the reviews thought it would be amazing. However, the food was mid, we ordered the two type of parrilladas and none of the steak were cooked how we asked (medium rare) and they were all either well done or medium well. The only steak we enjoyed was the skirt steak which seams to be the only one cooked properly to what we asked. Service was ok, but it was also packed so can't blame them on that end. I'll be honest I would not go there nor recommend this place to people that like their steak cooked properly. Would recommend if you like your steak well done because they all come out that way.

Great tasting Burger, natural meat flavors ,excellent Malbec..... The service fantastic! Very Cozy ambiance! No se lo pierdan,...

Amazing little find in Davie that certainly will do well if they keep this up as a much-needed different addition to the area. Non-descript place in strip mall across from Home Depot on Nova Dr. Not easy to see from street but plenty of parking with a small patio area and small inside dining area. Menu is as a Arg. Steakhouse should be with lots of sandwich options as well as entrees, etc. 5 of us tonight as we settle in and it's a no-frills basic place so if you are looking for 5-star fine dining this is not it. If you're looking for a friendly staff, good food at decent prices then step on in. They don't have a wine list just 4 bottles to pick from which the server knew nothing about. Thats ok they are new and I'm sure they will work the kinks out. We chose a middle ground malbec that was good not to pricey $40.00 and ordered a. Fresh hot rolls were presented with dipping sauce of chopped onion, eggplant, oil & garlic. VERY GOOD! Appetizer & Salads: Provoleta $13 Melted provolone cheese, served hot from the charcoal griil absolutely delicious. Salads normally served with the meal in Arg Steakhouses but we asked them to come beforehand. Mixed green salad $8 Baby mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, onions these were pretty basic and fine but nothing to write home about. Entrees: Lomito Sandwich $21thinly sliced filet mignon with mozzarella, ham, lettuce, tomatoes and mayo chimi. Fantastic string fries were hot and fresh which came with it. Sirloin Cap Steak $24 10oz of picanha very tasty and tender. Short Ribs $20 Two short ribs basic but tender as butter with a nice sauce they were cooked in. Chicken Breast $16 Grilled chicken breast not your normal breast as seasonings were excellent fresh very tender and moist. The absolute star on the table was the Argentinean Skirt Steak $25 10oz of entraña with homemade chimichuri sauce. Absolutely out of this world. Sides were good especially side order of sausage though the "smashed potatoes" were dry and bland. --- Desserts: Special parfait of tropical fruit was a total MISS and they were kind enough to take it off the check. Creme Brulee $9 Creamy pudding-like, baked custard with a brittle top of melted sugar not my cup of tea but really tasty. Another STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dulce de Leche Pancake with Vanilla Ice Cream $10 Panqueques con Dulce de Leche served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream DO NOT MISS THIS. All and all some really outstanding dishes, friendly staff moderate pricing and a really enjoyable dinner. We will definitely be adding this to the rotation in the future.

The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to guide you through the menu if you're unfamiliar with Argentinean cuisine. Steaks here are phenomenal, grilled to perfection and bursting with flavor.

The platter was a huge portion. The variety of meats was interesting and tender. Everything was really good. Service was excellent

Nice spot in Davie, staff was friendly, food was great, had the Alta vaca burger with fries for lunch.

We loved our sampler platter for two. My husband and I is excited to go back and try other items.

If you like grilled food - eat here. It's delicious. Also highly recommended for people on low carb diets - they serve big portions of protein so it's easy to feel satisfied even without the carbs.

Good service. Food was ok overall. The short ribs were great. The Picana was a bit lacking. Good for a quick dinner.

Friday night looking for a new place to eat and came across this place "Alta Vaca" We got empanadas as appetizer and we loved the freshness just made for us The churrasco was cooked perfectly! The taste amazing! For dessert the bread pudding is a must ! Give it a try , you won't regret it

Great food, especially for meat lovers. Budget friendly. Casual setting. Great customer service. Plenty of parking.
