Amazing empanadas. It's nice to go there and mix and match the different types they have to get a few different experiences every time. They're big enough to be filling while having unique flavor profiles for each one. Not to mention the weekly special they have is usually great too. If it's your first time, I highly recommend getting at least one Alma empanada.
Excellent quality and service at this family owned Argentinian restaurant! And they are not brand new; They've been here a while now. They have a whole variety of empanadas, fried or baked, and a number of other appetizers, sandwiches, and main dishes. Very nice people making quality food. They give you free bread with their chimichurri sauce. Imported beers and wines. The place is very clean as well, although a bit small. It's not the cheapest place for sure, but you're getting quality food and service here. If you like empanadas or chorizo, you should definitely give it a try. I've taken people here and they really enjoyed it. The strip shopping center they are located in can get pretty busy at certain times so parking can sometimes be a pain, but usually it's fine and definitely fine outside of peak hours.
Absolutely amazing! The food was delicious (seriously try their the Alma empanada), but the service was the best part. Nico was extremely friendly and we found ourselves constantly striking up conversations with him our entire time there. Highly recommend!!
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!
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%.
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.
Super friendly and kind people, pleasant atmosphere and professional but comfortable and relaxed at the same time. Beautiful decorations, great place to sit down and have a nice meal. We picked up empanadas to go, they were all perfectly delicious and varied. We had all these, fried!: Alma, Osobuco, 3 cheese, potato and cheese, classic Argentinian, pork, classic chicken and creamy chicken. They were a total hit.
