Argentino Las Olas

Greg A (GTA85)

I was in town to see Messi, and this restaurant was the perfect way to complete the trip. My son really loved the pizza, and I enjoyed the milanesa. If you are an Argentina fan or just a soccer fan in general, you will love the atmosphere and seeing the numerous photos of different players.

We are so happy we stumbled upon this place! (The restaurant we had chosen wasn't open yet!) The empanadas are magnificent! So many to choose from & a great variety of vegetarian choices. The staff were all so kind & friendly...felt like we were eating with family! This is a local business with authentic food from Argentina, you will not want to miss! Excellent prices! And, if you are just walking by, they will sell you an empanada, all kinds, from a cart in front...to take with you, $5!

They specialize in empenadas, but not the fast food kind. Great dough. Fillings were spiced well. I tried the beef, pork, and pepperoni. Each was very good with a totally different flavor. They came stamped with a brand telling me which was which. Staff was super-friendly. I saw flatbreads and sandwiches on the menu too. Soft drinks were from cans. It is on Las Olas, so not cheap eats, but not super expensive. Would certainly go back.

Great place, super friendly atmosphere. Great service and the food was good. I ordered grill provolone cheese, spinach and ricotta empanadas and cheese with onions empanadas. My favorite was the choripan (Argentinian sausage sandwich)which was served with a delicious chimichurri sauce and Argentinian salsa criolla. I super recommend it!

Delicious empanadas. Juicy on the inside and freshly baked on the outside. The beef, ham and cheese and bbq pork were super tasty and with the house made chimichurri sauce which was amazing. Service was very friendly and fast. Right on the main street Las Olas boulevard with a lovely outdoor patio.A must try

We had the best time and dinner at this restaurant. We took our Saint Bernard and she loved her steak as well. Fabio was very friendly and the service and food were great. Will be back soon!

Great service from a waiter who just migrated from Argentina, it was his first day on the job. No wait during busy dinner rush. Food was phenomenal. The caprese empanada was absolutely phenomenal. Will return, highly recommend!

Amazing service!! Very friendly, attentive, and kind staff. The restaurant brings a very home-like feeling! The food was awesome, the true taste of a choripan, very simple but very flavorful. Would recommend❤️

Great food fresh affordable authentic. be sure to walk slow its a bit hidden so do yourself a favor dont miss it great beers if you are a soccer enthusiest wall is full of memrobilia More about food I had Chori pan Empanadas (nice selection baked amd delicious) Pariillada for 2 came with nice variety of meat but my favorite was la Morcilla (blood sausage ) No fillers (rice ect )... delicious !🔥🔥🔥 Bread salad and argentinian beer .check it out small local and good.

It's a small restaurant and has some nice empanadas. For the very 1st time, we tasted blood sausage, and it was unique! The skirt steak, however, wasn't that good. It was a bit chewy, even with a medium cook

Nice place. Good food. Great service. Not overbearing or over crowded like other places in Las Olas.

Food was fresh and good. I had really high expectations of the place and while they were good they didn't wow me. Service was great, they were friendly, and it's a great place to grab a quick bite and keep exploring Las Olas. I would go back and do recommend.

Empanadas are something I obsess over, so seeing this place as I was walking around downtown Ft. Lauderdale made it a must stop. All in all, I feel like my expectations were half met, and half let down. Let me explain: I tried 4 different empanadas in total- the hawaiian, the spinach and ricotta, the caprese, and guava and cheese for dessert. My mistake was trying to Hawaiian for one of the first bites, because man was that empanada out of this world! And let me also say I am NOT a believer in pineapple on pizza, I think the savory of pizza and sweet of pineapple need to stay separate, but in this empanada for some reason the little pineapple bits meshed perfectly with the ham chunks, and just wow it was fantastic. Because that one was so good, the other ones just didn’t really stand a chance. The caprese one was okay, but the ricotta and spinach I did not like at all, I felt like I was being choked by all the spinach and there wasn’t really any other flavor. And lastly, the guava and cheese empanada was pretty darn good as well. I am a huge fan of guava flavored things, and though this combo may sound odd to your typical American, trust me when I say you gotta try it at least once. Overall, I’d definitely come back and just have a bunch of the Hawaiian empanadas and a guava and cheese to top it off.

The food was good, beer was cold, and staff was nice (although more preoccupied with their own conversations than the service) but it was extremely overpriced. $14 for 3 empanadas and almost $80 for a small plate of meats and a tiny salad. It’s advertised to be enough for 2 people, which it may be but definitely not what it should cost.

We visited this restaurant last week while in town. The food was good, and the service was also very good. So I’d give it 4 stars for that only. Our bill merits 1 star. We were changed a 20% “service fee” and were expected to leave another “18-20% tip. When we asked our waiter he said that because the area was touristy all the restaurants were doing the same. We left him and 18% tip but he lied!!! So I would say if you go, expect to be overcharged an additional 40%. That’s robbery. None of the other restaurants on that same strip steal from customers so blatantly.

This little place is cozy and the staff is friendly. The problem was the price. We ate 2 choripan that were really small, 2 meat empanada that were good, 1 salad , 1 beer, 1 juice & 1 coffee. We paid more than 70 dollars!!!! They included a 18 % tip plus a fee (las Olas fee). 👎not worth the price

Service was not what I expected for the price we paid. We sat and were not even offered water (had to ask for it). Consumed: 1 expresso $5, 1 cappuccino $5, 1 (ONE) crepe rolled with dulce leche (called "panqueque") whopping $11. Grand total $30. In my opinion, overpriced tourist trap. Sorry.

Very expensive and the food portion is very small. We spend $69 for 2 Milanesas , one water and one sprite. Besides the meet was dry and the size of the beef tiny. We pay for water cost $3. The service charge will be included in the bill plus taxes. I do not recommend!

This is the Argentine grill for $79 dollars as you can see it is surprisingly small it is for 2 people if you are looking to eat meat I DO NOT recommend it we did NOT like it and well this added to the drinks and the service that you pay because it is already mandatory you pay something higher than $ 150 dollars, it seems ridiculous to me because in the end you leave hungry.
