Alma Argentina

The Write-Up

The full story

A family-run Argentine steakhouse on Aloma Avenue where the empanadas are fried to order and regulars call it their favorite Argentine restaurant. The parrillada mixed grill, sizzling provoleta and milanesa napolitana come out fresh and homemade, with flan or chocotorta to finish. Guests note the prices run a touch high, though most say the quality earns it.
