The restaurant was split into two sides with a trinket store offering money transfer services. The Colombian espresso single shot was an absurd $4.00 but the food here is supposed to be excellent so I ordered a beef empanada. It was small but flavorful with a semi-crispy shell at only $2.50 it was a steal. The gender assigned bathroom outer door had a cartoon guy wearing a sombrero hat indicating the men's room. Clean with Terracotta Mexican style flooring providing an earthy vibe with an out of order urinal.

The portions are healthy and a $30 entree is easily enough for two with a toddler. I would only venture the whole thing if I was working construction again or just got done with a tough workout. The skillet meal we ordered (bandeja paisa), with crispy pork belly, picanha, Morcilla, Columbian sausage, egg, arepa (grilled corn cake), maduros, red beans and rice was all perfectly prepared. My daughter snatched the avocado so I never got to try it, but she seemed to enjoy it so it must have been good. All meats were cooked to exactly where they should be. My only minor complaint is that i would have preferred a runnier egg.

Parking in the warehouse area was quite difficult but luckily I found a space. Once inside, the place was quite small but there is an additional dining room to the right. My husband and I sat at the sandwich bar area because the air conditioner was blowing cold. The ladies behind the counter took our order and although the food took a while, we did notice that they were packing up a large take out order and there were other dine in orders ahead of our which we didn't mind because we were in no hurry. Beverages are located in a cold storage cabinet but they also have traditional cuban coffee drinks and a fresh juicing machine of OJ. There were also some fresh baked goods on the bar area. Our sandwiches were served in a plastic basket with no included side but they had a few reasonable options. The Cuban sandwiches were packed full of pork, ham and cheese. They have a special garlic sauce that I used for some extra flavor which was also used on their plated dishes and the daily special. The food was fresh and so delicious and very good value for the large portion size.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but once you walk in, wow. The ladies working here are incredibly welcoming and immediately make you feel comfortable. There are only two tables and a bar, but somehow it didn't feel cramped. We ordered the café con leche, the chicken sandwich, and the grilled chicken plate with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The sandwich is huge and really flavorful. Definitely add the cilantro sauce. It takes it to another level. The standout for me was the sweet plantains. Hands down the best I've had since I was a kid in the Philippines. Absolute must try. Overall, an excellent experience.

It has its own entrance from the parking lot. Right when you walk in, it feels very nice and upscale. My husband and I came for a happy hour experience, and tried just about everything. All of it was incredible! The guac was served with a mixture of plantain chips and tortilla chips, which I loved. The corn empanadas were surprisingly a little spicy, but delicious. The mac and cheese came in a skillet with tajin breadcrumbs, and was super creamy and delicious. The elote was probably my favorite. You can't beat truffle! I also especially loved the yuca that came with the beef. The drinks were super strong. After about a drink and a half (the hibiscus margarita and the Mexican mojito), I found myself needing to probably cut myself off. We sat at the bar, and the server who helped us was really nice. If you're looking for a nicer and more upscale happy hour experience, this is it. It's a great night out with amazing food. Highly highly highly recommended!

The vibe was nice, and our waitress was friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. My girlfriend ordered the mofongo and really enjoyed it. I had the moro de guandules with sautéed chicken. It was okay--not bad, but the flavor profile reminded me more of an Asian-style chicken dish, and I was expecting something more Caribbean. The biggest issue was the wait. We waited about an hour and a half for our food, which definitely took away from the overall experience. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to enjoy our meals there and had to take them to go. Overall, the service was good and the food had its moments, but the long wait time made it tough to fully enjoy the experience.

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.

The portion was generous, everything tasted fresh, and all the flavors worked really well together. I also had their lemonade, which was refreshing and tasted natural--not overly sweet or artificial. The food was so good that I decided to return with my family and dine at the restaurant. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. The service was attentive, and the staff took good care of us. There were only two small issues during our dine-in visit. My Paisa Bowl seemed to have much less steak than my takeout order--probably only three or four strips. Also, my brother ordered his steak medium-rare, but it arrived extremely well-done. Thankfully, the staff handled it well and replaced it without any problem, which we appreciated. Despite those details, we had a very good experience. The food has so much flavor, tastes fresh, and is definitely worth coming back for. We'll be returning!

As a chile and myself, I, more than anyone, crave these delicious flavors from my home country. As far as the food is concerned, every dish was spectacular.

It gave that mouthwatering taste that went very well with the pebre that also was fantastic. I love a good pebre or Chilean salsa. The service was was alright and everyone seemed nice, just lacked a bit of energy and desire to serve.
