The famed Buenos Aires steakhouse with a location in Coconut Grove did not disappoint. I finally had an opportunity to check out La Cabrera after a cigar at nearby Coco Cigars. I took advantage of their 4 course $60 dinner special (not listed on their website but offered every day, including weekends) and went with the Caesar Salad, 14 oz skirt steak, fries and flan. Each dish was very good, the steak was cooked a perfect medium rare, the fries were crispy and good, and the flan was probably the best I've ever had. I enjoyed a very good glass of Malbec reserve with my meal. La Cabrera also offers a $39 lunch special. Ambiance was charming and the service was also very good. Far superior choice, food wise, to Chop. read more

After enjoying a fantastic dinner here back in January for my wife's birthday, it felt only right to return to La Cabrera Coconut Grove in August to bring my wife's father for a Miami Spice Lunch outing. A restaurant that still comes to mind months later is usually doing something right, and this visit confirmed what we loved about our first experience. We made reservations without any issues a couple of days before. The restaurant was clean, bright, and had not filled up yet with the busy Sunday family crowd. Upon being seated, we were provided with the regular menu and the Miami Spice Lunch menu. The Miami Spice Lunch, which has now become a daily Executive Lunch special, is a standout value. The portion sizes and the quality of the Argentinian steaks speak for themselves. As a group, here's what we ordered: Starters - Ham and Cheese Empanadas - Morcilla - Grilled Provolone Each starter delivered exactly what you'd expect from an Argentinian steakhouse. The empanadas were warm and flaky, the morcilla was rich and well seasoned, and the grilled provolone came out bubbling and perfect for sharing amongst our table with the restaurant's complementary bread basket. Entrée: - New York Strip Steak, 12 oz This was the only cut of steak we ordered. It was cooked to each of our desired temperatures and seasoned simply, letting the quality of the beef speak for itself. It is clear why La Cabrera has a reputation as one of Latin America's best restaurants. Sauces on the side, which included a BBQ sauce, and a chimichurri, were left for our choosing and were used for the side dishes more than anything. Sides: - French Fries - Jasmine Rice Both sides complemented the steak well. The fries were crispy and large in size. My father-in-law, a cuban man who's very serious about his rice dishes, thought the jasmine rice was very good. Dessert: - Dulce de Leche Ice Cream with Cone - Dulce de Leche Pancakes The ice cream was smooth and rich, while the pancakes were finished with a sugary powder coating that was impossible to resist. This lunch reinforced why La Cabrera continues to be stand out in a crowded field of steakhouses. Between the consistency, generous portions, and the value of their daily menu specials, it's an easy recommendation whether you're bringing family, hosting someone from out of town, or simply looking for a great lunch in Coconut Grove. read more

La Cabrera in Coconut Grove started out with good service but this went dwindling due to more tables filling up and not enough servers to attend to them. Food was good and everyone in our party enjoyed their dishes, I have to admit I missed the complimentary tasters provided by the chef at the restaurant in the Midtown location, there the attention was excellent. The restaurant ambiance is nice, it' feels quaint in comparison to the one located in Midtown. Overall it' was a nice experience but could have been improved if we had had better service. read more

Again, an amazing experience! We love coming here not just for the food, but for the ambience. it always feels special. We always order the empanadas, and they are simply the best. I love the spinach ones, and my husband is all about the meat which he can't get enough of. We came as a group of six, and everything was timed perfectly. Drinks came first, then appetizers, and just as we finished, the main courses arrived so we could enjoy everything at the perfect temperature without feeling rushed. I had the mushroom ravioli so so good and perfect for vegetarian option. My husband and friends loved the NY strip steak and the chicken milanese. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu! read more

Checked out their Miami spice lunch menu, which is definitely worth it. The service is great and the food is brought out pretty quickly. They have a great variety of options on their menu, allowing you to try different items for a reasonable price. I really enjoyed their steak. The inside is also decorated well. I'd highly recommend checking this place out and will likely be back. read more

I had seen La Cabrera open up in the Grove and on Friday I went with my dad to try it. This is a restaurant from Buenos Aires and they specialize in grilled meats. Yum. The complimentary bread is delish with olives and a salsa de tomate. There is also a complimentary appetizer that has different dips, which I did not care for. We started with the morcilla and chorizo and also got a 14 oz NY strip and an arugula salad. The salad didn't come with dressing, which I thought was odd, but they do have olive oil and vinegar on the table so that worked perfect for a simple salad. We had also ordered the penne with pesto cream sauce. This was my least favorite dish of the night as it was pretty flavorless. I'm thinking this is a spot to indulge more on quality meats and traditional steakhouse sides versus the pasta. While I did not have a drink, I did see they have a full bar and extensive wine list. This is definitely a spot to go for the meats, as the NY Strip was really great. For such large portions of meat, prices are really reasonable. Will definitely be back to try more things from the menu. They also offer happy hour daily from 11:30 - 6 pm which is great. The host in the front let me know happy hour was half off all drinks and wines by the glass, so catch me there soon! read more

I love La Cabrera! The drinks are always on point, the service is always fantastic, and the food tastes incredible! Highly recommend their Rib Eye and Mac & Cheese. The meat literally melts in your mouth and the Mac & Cheese has a nice crispy layer on top that is delicious. This restaurant is super nice inside. Great for dates, celebrations, or just to treat yourself to a nice meal. Gracias Ayrton por tu hospitalidad (: read more

La Cabrera - Amazing drinks, food, and good vibes! - A woman with curly hair and earrings is smiling at the camera while holding a cocktail garnished with mint leaves in a restaurant setting. - Steakhouses Near Me - Miami, Florida

Fuimos por cuarta vez y, lamentablemente, esta última experiencia estuvo muy por debajo del nivel al que nos tenían acostumbrados. Las tres visitas anteriores (siempre en horario de cena) habían sido muy buenas, incluso excelentes, por lo que decidimos volver, esta vez para un almuerzo. La diferencia fue notoria. Comenzamos con un chorizo y una empanada de queso y cebolla. La entrada demoró más de lo esperado y, al cortar el chorizo, estaba a temperatura ambiente. Lo enviamos de vuelta y simplemente lo recalentaron, en lugar de reemplazarlo, lo cual ya marcó un estándar preocupante. Poco después trajeron los acompañamientos de la casa: mozzarella con verduras,puré de papas, puré de calabaza y ajos en conserva. Ambos purés estaban fríos e incomibles, algo difícil de justificar en una parrilla de este nivel. Como platos principales, pedimos un branzino a la sartén y un bife de chorizo jugoso. El pescado llegó sin presentación ni sabor, más cercano a un producto congelado que a una propuesta cuidada. El bife, solicitado jugoso, llegó tibio y en un punto medium well, muy lejos de lo esperado. El servicio fue aceptable, pero poco profesional, para un lugar de ese nivel. La decoracion y las instalaciones incluyendo la magnifica terraza son dignas de destacar. En conjunto, fue una experiencia mediocre, esforzandomenen el calificativo,cuando nuestras visitas anteriores habían sido destacadas. La inconsistencia, especialmente en aspectos básicos como temperatura, punto de cocción y control de calidad, es lo que más preocupa. Ojalá haya sido un hecho aislado, pero tras esta experiencia, nos deja dudas sobre volver, y mucho menos recomendar este restaurante a nuestro vasto circulo social de Argentinos que vivimos en Miami. read more

This is a great restaurant!! From the minute we got here till the end of the meal, everything was outstanding! The ambiance is really nice. Lorena our server, was fabulous. We had the Miami Spice Menu and everything was delicious. We had the proveletta cheese, the chorizo, the mushroom ravioli and the NY strip. All were amazing. For dessert I had the pistachio ice cream and the Dulce de leche crepes. Both were tasty. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

Excellent service. Dining room overlooks the grill and Josper oven, seating perhaps 150 people. We visited on a Sunday, most customers were families with children, with the occasional couple. Very tasteful decor. Local outlet of celebrated Buenos Aires steakhouse. Prices are somewhat less expensive than other comparable Argentinian restaurants in the city, which matched to its pedigree makes for a very compelling value proposition. read more

"Una pesadilla neón en el infierno del asado (SPANISH AND ENGLISH) Nací en Argentina en el seno de una familia italiana, así que no me pueden venir con cuentos cuando se trata de buena carne o buena pasta del norte de Italia. Fui a La Cabrera anoche y todavía estoy tratando de recuperar la fe en la gastronomía. Es evidente que tengo expectativas diferentes a esas personas que dejan cinco estrellas como si estuvieran calificando un buffet de hotel en Cancún. Primero, hablemos del ambiente: un desfile de camisas floreadas y vestidos que parecían salidos de un outlet en liquidación. Si la estética de los comensales dice algo del lugar, ya sabés lo que te espera. Luego está el espectáculo. Porque sí, es un show involuntario de mal gusto. Si alguien está de cumpleaños o aniversario, te enchufan unos lentes de neón que parpadean como si estuvieras en una despedida de soltero en Las Vegas, y el gerente, sin pudor alguno, se pone a cantar "Feliz Cumpleaños" como si fuera Pavarotti, justo atrás de tu cabeza. Una experiencia traumática que ningún bife justifica. Y ahora lo importante: la comida. Pedimos una empanada frita de queso y cebolla, y lo único que encontramos fue queso aceitoso y un misterio culinario... porque la cebolla nunca apareció. El bife, solicitado a punto (jugoso, como Dios manda), llegó crudo al centro y apenas sellado por fuera, como si lo hubieran mostrado a la parrilla desde lejos. El Manhattan que pedí era literalmente whisky con agua, servido en un vaso que parecía recién rescatado de una caja de trastos viejos. ¿El servicio? Bien. Amables, pero ninguno parecía argentino, ni en el acento ni en la actitud. Faltaba esa pasión parrillera auténtica, esa hospitalidad que uno espera de verdad en una buena parrilla porteña. En resumen: si querés celebrar algo acá, no lo hagas. Encendé una vela en tu casa, poné un tango y hacete un buen bife vos mismo. Hasta tu perro lo sazonaría mejor. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was born in Argentina in an Italian family, so I know what real meat and pasta should taste like. I grew up with good food, so when I went to La Cabrera, I expected something great. Instead, it felt like a mix of a cheap party and a bad wedding. Let's start with the place. The people looked like they came from an old cruise ship. Men wore flower shirts, and women wore strange "tropical" dresses. The room was dark, and the only thing louder than the lights was the manager singing "Happy Birthday" like an opera singer. And yes, they make you wear flashing neon glasses if it's your birthday. It's embarrassing. Now the food. I ordered a cheese and onion empanada, but there was no onion. Just a lot of grease. The steak was supposed to be medium rare, but it came out cold and raw in the middle. It looked like they showed it to the grill and took it back. The cocktail I got--a Manhattan--was just whiskey with water in a cheap glass. The service was kind, but no one there acted or sounded like a real Argentinian. It didn't feel like a true steakhouse from Buenos Aires at all. If you want to celebrate something special, please don't go here. Light a candle at home, play some music, and cook your steak. Even your cat could do a better job. , read more

To be honest I'm not sure how I feel about it... I've been used to eating Argentinian food and their menu was a bit different for me and my guest. They do have a nice selection of wines, and very good service. The ambience was very cute, more of an updated version of a small meat market/restaurant. Not bad, but I don't have enough to really rate it anything other than 5 stars for now. read more

I usually take pictures before digging in, but this dinner was so amazing--and the ambiance so pleasant--that I didn't even realize I hadn't taken any good quality shots! We celebrated Valentine's Day at La Cabrera, and the ambiance was absolutely on point--romantic, with perfect lighting that set the mood beautifully. My husband ordered the NY strip, and I had the flap steak, both cooked to perfection at medium rare. For our sides, we had the Caesar salad, mac & cheese and steamed broccoli--everything was delicious. Definitely recommend La Cabrera for a fantastic dining experience! read more

This the best Latin American steak house in South America and it finally landed in the Gables-Grove area. I first heard of La Cabrera in Malaga. The Malaga location is yards from the main Cathedral. Like it's Grove brethren it is known for its shareable plates and lollipops at the end. Reservations were easy to come by and the hostess sat us down. As of the time of this writing they didn't have a full liquor license so were comping Malbec! May they never get that license! So good was the Malbec we ordered seconds. They give you complementary bread and some olives. We ordered the Provoleta and it did not disappoint. You could taste the smokiness and the gauchos roasting it on the plains of Argentina over coals in their cast iron skillets. We ordered a 14oz filet and had them split it in half. The entree was served with a side of broccoli and mash. We were unable to even touch the mash; the portions were that generous. My only quibble is that the filet was medium rare when we asked for medium. We sent it back and it came out medium well. A star is docked. The waiter and manager were both incredibly engaging. I believe that unlike the other places that have come and gone in this former Masonic lodge, this one may prove the one that stays the course. read more

Great date night location, food and service was spectacular. Appetizers were outrageous!

Really good quality food but inexperienced and poor service. La Cabrera needs to desperately work on training their staff. I'll come back again but if service is not improved it will be my last time. If they don't fix it, unfortunately the restaurant will go away really fast. read more

Great place to visit in Coconut Grove. Service was excellent. Meat was perfect. There's parking available next to the restaurant.

Great place for steak lovers! The empanadas were incredible and the service was impeccable! Great place for a nice quiet meal. read more

I rarely give restaurants low ratings, but our meal at La Cabrera was one of the most disappointing experiences we've had in recent memory. First, I'll list the positives as this place definitely had strong points: The venue is nicely-designed, well-appointed, and I really liked everything about the decor, style and color scheme. Also, service was attentive all night from outgoing staff who went above and beyond, even serving and plating our appetizer dishes at our table for us, and cutting and serving our steaks at our table. That said, this place really falls down on food quality. Most everything we ordered lacked flavor and many of their listed prices are higher than they deserve to be. We're big fans of Argentinian food and dine somewhat frequently at spots like Baires, Graziano's, Novecento and the former Las Vacas Gordas. When we saw La Cabrera, we were excited to try it. Unfortunately the food here is sub-par while the prices are not. We started out with the provoleta ($19) and the chorizo ($12) to share. While the sausage wasn't bad, the provoleta lacked flavor and had an odd texture vs. what we've had nearly everywhere else we've ordered it. It could've also used some time on the grill or under the broiler to form a crust, which was missing. They brought a basket of bread and bread sticks to the table, but the tomato sauce it was served with was basically tasteless. The olives at least had a bit of flavor to them. They later brought a selection of spreads and other items that were "on the house". It contained small servings of eggplant puree, apple sauce, cooked carrots and garlic, I believe diced cooked squash, what looked like au gratin potatoes and one other item. I tried all of it. Each was tasteless aside from the garlic which could at least be smashed with a utensil and spread on the bread for flavor and texture. We had a look at the wine list and while we ultimately ordered a bottle to share, the prices here were high on at least some bottles. Stag's Leap Artemis, for instance, is priced at just a bit more than $100/bottle at one of our usual places for steak. Here at La Cabrera, it's listed for $164. For our main courses we ordered the 1/2 outside skirt steak ($43), the 1/2 New York steak ($42) and a side of mashed potatoes ($8) all to share. The skirt steak was good and very tender. The New York steak was dry and lacked flavor, and the mashed potatoes, like much of what we tried on this night, were a bit bland. When our steaks were brought to the table, they immediately gave us sauces and dry items to dress them up - barbecue and steak sauces, bread crumbs, what looked like a thick cheese sauce with a bit of vegetable in it, and as we were cutting into our steaks, the server brought another full tray of more sauces, rubs and things to add to our meats. I found this very odd because most better-quality restaurants take great pride in the quality of their meats and style of cooking and strongly believe that one shouldn't need to add any sauces or condiments to make them edible or even more enjoyable. Here at La Cabrera they were practically begging people to dip or slather their steaks with condiments. I did try a few dollops of a few of the cups of sauces and crumbs we were given, but wasn't impressed by any of them. At the end of the meal, they brought a tree of lollipops to our table. It had several insects crawling on it. I couldn't identify what they were, but they weren't ants (see video I've posted). When the server gave us the bill there was an automatic service charge of 18% included which has become somewhat standard in the Miami area. When she handed us the payment machine to process our cards, she explained there was a service charge added the check, then the tip amounts listed on the screen for us to select from when signing were for her. I've never had another restaurant present it that way when there is included auto-gratuity. In general, the meal here lacked flavor compared to most every other Argentinian steakhouse I've been to. They seem to have a lot of "stuff" they place on the table for patrons to try - complimentary spreads and purees, steak sauces and things to sprinkle on your meat, but much of it was flavorless and disappointing. On the night we were here there were only 4 people at the bar and 2 other tables with patrons seated at them and to me, the reason it wasn't busier was apparent. La Cabrera needs to improve the taste and quality of the food to make it worthy of the prices charged, or this restaurant will struggle. That's especially true with 1 other Argentinian option already available in the Grove, in addition to lots of other really excellent dining options in this general area for people to patronize. read more

First time at La Cabrera. I'm a sucker for a good piece of skirt steak or authentic Argentinian food. A block away is another similar style of food, but it was time to try something new. Right off the bat the service is good. Hostess greeted us and took us to our table. Our waitress was also good with her service. We ordered our meal which included a skirt steak, shrimp, and some vegetables. The steak was a little under seasoned, which we had to add salt - Not a big issue. One thing I have to say is the chimichurri was made like a mayonnaise style dip, which surely is not authentic. I would suggest to them to please make a real one. All in all, not my go-to Argentinian place in Miami. Nice ambiance if you are in the Grove and want to have a drink and a decent piece of beef. read more

La Cabrera - Avocado salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Miami, Florida

La Cabrera in Coconut Grove is an absolute gem, delivering a dining experience that lingers long after you've left. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed into a warm, lively atmosphere, with ambient lighting and cozy seating that instantly makes you feel at home. The restaurant's authentic Argentine charm and décor create the perfect setting to indulge in its rich culinary heritage. The menu is a celebration of Argentina's finest offerings, with each dish carefully crafted to highlight bold flavors and quality ingredients. The star of the show is, without a doubt, the steak--cooked to absolute perfection. The tenderness and flavor are simply unmatched, with every bite melting in your mouth. They also offer an impressive range of sides and appetizers that truly elevate the meal, from savory empanadas to chimichurri-drenched veggies, each dish plated beautifully and packed with flavor. My wife ordered the New York Strip with melter blue cheese, I ordered the Filet Mignon, and we shared mashed potatoes, a salad, and other small bites. We ended up with the Dulce de Leche hotcakes We did not order wine this time, but they have an impressive wine list to choose from and to pair with your meal. A huge shoutout to Giancarlo, our server, whose service was nothing short of outstanding. His warm, attentive approach made us feel like VIPs, and his deep knowledge of the menu brought each dish to life. Giancarlo's recommendations were impeccable, and his genuine passion for the restaurant's offerings enriched our experience immensely. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated server who goes above and beyond to ensure your night is memorable. Whether you're a steak aficionado or simply looking for a place with heart, warmth, and incredible food, La Cabrera is a must-visit destination in Coconut Grove. We left feeling like we'd just experienced a little slice of Argentina, and we can't wait to return. Thank you, Giancarlo, for an unforgettable evening! There is plenty of paid parking around the restaurant. The bill already includes 18% gratuity, but I decided to leave more. I would say this restaurant is a $$$$ since it was only two people and no wine was ordered. read more

Some friends of mine visiting from Paris invited my family and I ( Because I'm Argentine I guess lol) for dinner at La Cabrera. We were greeted very nicely by the host with a smile (which is rare these days at fancy places). The restaurant inside has an elegant vibe to it. We had Janina as our waitress and she was excellent. Gave very good recommendations. My friends asked me to order the food because of my background. We started with the plain provoleta which was delicious. We ended up ordering a second one. It is so good plain, that's why I don't order the one that has toppings. We also ordered the mollejas which were cooked to perfection. Delicious!! We then ordered two cuts of meat as our main dish with two sides. Mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. The meat we ordered was the skirt steak and one called the cowboy something which Janina recommended. My friends like the meat medium rare and I like it medium so they cooked it medium rare and cut it table side and then finished cooking it more for me table side on a hot skillet which I thought was pretty neat and classy. The meat was very good quality with a lot of flavor. To drink we accompanied the meat with Malbec. The second bottle we ordered was a recommendation again by Janina which ended up being very good. It ended up being plenty of food so we had no room for dessert. My kids ended up ordering gnocchi. My son the regular ones and my daughter the stuffed with cheese ones and they were surprisingly great being more of a steak house. So don't think there is only meat. They do have other options as well. The manager Sebastian also stopped multiple times to check on us and he was also super friendly. We had an overall wonderful experience. I do warn you that it is a pricey restaurant, but if you want to splurge, it's well worth it. Enjoy!!!!

Excellent food, BUT, be careful and aware. They automatically add an 18% tip. I didn't realize this until I got home. I unknowingly tipped 20% over the already 18% added tip. So the waitress actually got a 40% tip. Now I know........ My bill was $282, including the automatic tip and I tipped an extra 20% on top of that.
