This was my first time in 15 years coming back to try Latin American Grill in Pembroke Pines…read more When my family used to live in Pembroke Pines, I remember stopping by to grab colada and sandwiches for quick lunch every weekend with my friends before going out. It was one of more affordable lunches for us back then. Not much has changed in all the years. The food quality is still decent, the prices are still affordable, and the customer service is still friendly. It was a nice experience to stop by for a simple breakfast and colada. It helped me reminisce about my life from years ago, how much has changed for the better now, but still missing how some things were back then. Maybe it wasn't a simple dining experience for me today, maybe motivation for me to check in on some people from way back then to see if they are still doing well. Thanks Latin American Grill for still being at the same location and reminding me to reach out to people I haven't spoken to in years. They offer plenty of free parking in this plaza. I would recommend this place to others and maybe be back next time I am in Pembroke Pines area.

The service was very attentive and friendly. I personally prefer service that is warm but a little more professional rather than overly familiar, so some of the interactions felt a bit too casual for my taste, but the service itself was very good. The atmosphere inside wasn't really for me either. Between the red walls and fairly loud reggaeton, it felt a little more stimulating than relaxing. I probably would have enjoyed the outdoor seating more, but unfortunately it was raining that day. Overall, it was a good experience with good food, generous portions, and attentive service. It just wasn't quite my vibe or somewhere I personally feel the need to return to, but I can see it being a fun choice for a group.

The arepa was hard and dry, it tasted like it had been rewarmed. For $23 I really expected more. The beans and chicharron were the only things good about the plate.

I also got a side of alcapurria, and it was piping hot, clearly made fresh. Crispy on the outside, perfectly seasoned on the inside... Absolutely hit the spot! The lady at the counter was kind and patient, answering all my questions since I wasn't familiar with a few of the menu items. Her helpfulness made the experience even better.

The server said it may take 10-15 minutes to prepare. I assume by this long time frame that the food is made fresh to order, but that is way too long for one empanada so had to settle for a hot espresso. The presentation was basic but I liked the separate shot of espresso on the side of the pre-poured non-logo styro cup. The espresso tasted great with a heavy roasty aroma.

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!

We had four days in town and ate at Alta Vaca Grill on two separate occasions. Yes, it was that…read moregood! 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.
