This is my favorite takeoutin LA (they have no seating). Their #2 asado only is my absolute favorite. The chimichurri sauce is excellent and so are their empanadas. A true hidden gem. read more

ACA Grill - #2 plate, asado only (and a begging pup) - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Hole in the wall in Ktown where you can get Argentinean BBQ, empanadas and cheese balls. The BBQ plate with Asado and Pork Belly is sooo delicious. It's flavorful and the textures are so satisfying. Pork belly had a sticky skin and the beef included cartilage which gave a good snappy bite while maintaining tenderness, exactly how I love these meats. This is a spot that is to go only, with no tables or chairs inside. Good if you want something quick and filling. Salad and beans were very well done and not too heavy. The meal ranges from $16-20 depending on how much meat you want and no credit card under $10. read more

Can't really call this asado.... It's kinda over priced and the service was very slow in pick up.

Food portion was mid and so was flavor. You'll get better value buying the meat separately. read more

4 and 1/2 stars for this joint? You must be kidding Yelpers. Not a good place. I was very disappointed with the cheese balls. They were very dry and they had burnt marks, I think they put them in the oven to warm them up when they have an order. I also had some chorizo and it was bland. Never again. read more

Amazing meats with great taste. Parking is crazy so best park outside the lot. Great customer service and quick. Expensive for the amount of food but worth every dollar. Must go early before 3pm , they tend to sell out of meats. read more

Love their combo menu. You have to order the phone before you get the restaurant. Sometimes the parking is hard.

Always get their aca plate and if I'm craving more beef, I'll get the asado only. Everything here is fire. Rice is tasty, asado is unbeatable, and salad is great. They're very accommodating in replacing beans with more rice. Bit of a hole in the wall take out spot but don't be fooled. This place serves delicious plates. read more

I saw it on Instagram and want to try.. it has good reviews.. I ordered the number 1 plate with more meat.. I got to say I was very impressed.. my friend and I love the place.. the food was delicious.. read more

Asada is crazy!! Def get the cheese balls too. A satisfying meal with beans, cucumber and tomato salad, plenty of rice and meats. The sauce has a little kick too which adds so much flavor to the meal. Take-out only, but still fresh and delicious! read more

ACA Grill - asada only - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I order take out for lunch @ least once a month here & they never miss! If you love spicy I highly recommend getting a bottle of their red hot sauce (white bottle red top) I always order the #2 w/ all asado, no beans sub w/ salad. Sometimes a #1 same thing if I'm really hungry :) read more

Aca plate is always 10/10. Make sure to get some red hot sauce, some cheese balls, and some of their onions on the side (in their fridge). I've probably been going here at least once a month for the past 2 years. Owners/workers are kind as well. read more

A great small takeout location. The service and food are always excellent. For their bigger plate, I prefer their Asada and Pork Belly only. Hold the chorizo ! read more

Been going here for years now and if ACA Grill is one thing, they're consistent. Every time I get the meat plate, it hits the spot. I'm on a diet right now and opted for no rice and they were kind enough to replace it with more salad for no extra cost. The couple who run it are so sweet!!! It is a little pricey but doesn't hurt to treat yourself sometimes. You can even call your order in for pickup which is the usual move for me. read more

Food tastes amazing! Aca plate #1 is my usual go-to dish. The only downside is that the prices increase each year, making it harder to justify the cost read more

I've been wanting to try this place forever. Placed an order over the phone and it was ready for pick up in 20 min I ordered the ACA plate combo 2, which comes with more meat, dozen cheese balls, and an empanada. Total came out to $33. Understandably, with inflation, prices are a bit higher but this easily fed 2 people. The combo plate comes with slices of asado, sausage, and pork belly over a bed of yellow rice and sides of black beans and tomatoes and corn. A side of chimichurri comes with that goes really well with the meats. The cheese balls had a nice cheesy taste with a texture similar to pao de queijo. I like to cut it in half and put a slice of sausage so it's like a mini slider. The beef empanada was really good, well seasoned, and stuffed well. My only wish is that it was bigger. The parking lot is small and shares with other businesses so I can see it being a slight problem during peak hours, so call in for pick up. Service was really nice and friendly. Support your local mom and pop businesses! read more

ACA Grill - Yumdddd - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

One my of favorite restaurants in k-town! I have been going here for years. I never get sick of this place. There is a small parking lot that it shares with other restaurants. Since covid, they only do togo orders. I usually order in advance over the phone as sometimes it can get busy. I always order #1 which comes with 3 types of meat of asada, pork belly, sausage and rice, beans, and salad. I think the portion can be a little small for guys as my portion is pretty big for my size and the meat portion is usually not enough for me. There is an option for bigger size if you pay more. The plate comes with a chimichurri sauce and I usually add hot sauce which is a little extra. Definitely not a fancy place but their foods are really really good and I never get sick of it. read more

ACA Grill - #1 with cheese balls - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Asado is the key to my heart - one of the top Argentinian cuts of beef short ribs - deliciously layered with a little fat on both sides, just enough to take you into umami paradise. The meat is good. It will leave you wishing for more, no matter how much is on your plate. I wish they would have included Chimichurri but this is replaced with a vinegar-like, clear hot sauce. Clearly, the Asado is the star of the show and sadly, everything else is just kinda, you know, back up. The rice fails. It felt a bit dry and although I couldn't taste it, my wife stated that there was a "crayon" aftertaste. Her palette is very sensitive so I believe her. I just thought it was really dry. The black beans were sad. I just really wish a bit of TLC was given in prep and execution. Seriously, I don't think it would be too difficult for black beans to taste good. It just needed more oomph. The rice and beans, which is an important pairing for this type of cuisine, both failed like a mismatched pair of ice skaters vying for gold at the Olympics. They include a salad that just makes you want to cry. A small bed of canned corn, two slices of cucumber, and small cubes of tomato. The meat was good but personally for me, side dishes are just as important. Fix this aspect of the dish and you have a winner. read more

ACA Grill - Combo - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

For Argentina BBQ with a Korean twist. Take out only except for one table. Part of a small plaza that has free parking but limited spots. The beef and pork belly were good and so were the salad sides and rice. Pork belly is crispy and the beef is tender. The service was very kind and quick. If I were nearby I'd stop by again, but I do prefer Pampas meats more and they have seating. Overall a good option for South American meats! read more

Always love buying here. Family run place but food is awesome!!! I am no longer working in K-Town but I still order food here. Too bad cannot order delivery as I live a bit far, but drives to order food from here once in a while. read more

Korean-owned Argentinian bbq in Ktown. This is one of my favorite restaurants to grab a quick bite. My go to order is the Aca Plate No. 1. My personal favorite beef is the asado, but all are really good. Make sure to add the green sauce for some spicy kick to your food. The cheese balls are so good with your meal as well. Good prices for great food. read more

ACA Grill - Aca Plate No. 1 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The whole plate was bomb. I plan to return. Just get lazy sometimes. The meat was diced and tender the rice delicious

My husband and I moved into the apartment building next door and needed a quick bite to eat. Found aca grill on Yelp and decided to give it a go. I had low expectations but this place sure hit the spot. We loved the simplicity of the food yet how well done it was. We liked it so much that we decided to go back the next day. We got the #1 combo plate and have only been getting that. Great char on the meat. Rice and sauce are also delicious.... Also speedy service! Definitely will be a core spot for us in ktown when we want a quick but delicious meal. read more

ACA Grill is that effortless thinking, "I'm hungry, want something tasty and good, but I can't think of what to eat." ACA Plate - Pork Bely, Asada, and Sausage over rice. It's a balanced meal for its price. A serious bang for your buck. Served with a side of chimichurri -- yum!! It's tangy, it has that acidity and bite that just melts with the fattiness of the meat. Rice can be kinda meh, so is the salad, and beans -- but honestly, it's better than no salad, or paying extra for a weak salad anyways.. so I'll take it. Pao de Queijo -- Cheese bread. Again, hit or miss. When you get it fresh, you can taste the funky cheese, and the crunchy-mochi texture is to die for -- a slight cronch on the outside and floofy airy inside. BUT! If you get not fresh can be very hard, bland, and papery. The marinated meat was a really good alt option. First time getting! Wasn't too overtly soy saucy, nor was the meat dry -- good chew! The onions and peppers added a lot of flavor, but not overbearing. Not my first choice, but if I was sharing a couple plates, this could be an ok alternative! I still haven't tried enough for write a fuller review, but to say the least, their food is yummy. I'd eat it. Would I rave about it to all my friends? If they're in the area looking for a easy-decision takeout meal, yeah, it's good. But, not something I could give a whopping 5-star for. Do still go tho!! 8.8/10 read more

Can't believe I haven't been to this mom & pop shop yet in all my time living in LA! The owners (I'm assuming) are friendly and there's that charm when you walk in where you can tell this place has been around for many years. They just do takeout and the food was prepared fresh and quickly. Though it may seem a little pricey, you have to come try for the flavors! read more

My go-to spot for Argentinian bbq! This place is a mom and pop run by a cute Korean couple that are very friendly and nice. Also, this place has been around for years, since I was a student so you know it has to be good! The prices have been steadily increasing which is a shame but so have meat prices so it makes sense. read more

ACA Grill - ACA Plate #2 Asado only and cheese balls - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

ACA Grill is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Ktown. The fact that they have South American food here is pretty exciting! ACA is just like a hole in the wall place, it's very lowkey and very small but it's the best! If you like grilled meats the Argentinian style, this is your place to go to, or if you are looking for M Grill similar food on a budget. Staff is friendly and the owner is also the one cooking all the food and he's a pretty cool guy! The menu is very small but it's basically just pick your meats and the quantity and every single option comes out as the special plate with rice, black beans, salad, tomato, and some corn. I always get the carne asada plate (small) and he meat melts in your mouth. It's absolutely delicious. Be careful with the hot sauce, especially the red one. It's pretty hot. And if you get a chance, try and order the cheeseballs too! I've brought my boyfriend here, my coworkers, my friends and everyone I bring is pretty impressed! I'll continue to come here as long as it's open and introduce more people to Argentinian cuisine! read more

ACA Grill - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just did takeout from this place and would say it's very worth the price. Got Plate #1 and is more than enough for 2-3 meals (although it might not look like it). Sister ordered 6 cheese balls and she demolished 4 out of 6 of them in an instant! I would describe it as a more cheesy mochi texture and I am personally okay with it. Worth a try! Takeout was easy, pay when you get there. Overall, would def order from this place again. read more

ACA Grill - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When a trusted food advisor described Aca Grill as a bomb Argentinian BBQ spot owned by Koreans (that's my people), I knew I had to give it a shot. I ordered 'Aca Plate No. 1', which comes with melt-in-your-mouth asado, smoky chorizo, perfectly crunchy pork belly, rice, salad, & beans. Basically everything perfect in this life. I need more. What makes or breaks a dining experience for me is the hospitality. Knowing I was a first-timer (staring at the menu for 10+ minutes must've given off that vibe), the owner treated me like royalty. What do I mean by that? She made genuine conversation with me while packing me an empanada & cheese ball on the house - I consider this royalty. Jokes aside, I'm convinced she is the sweetest person on this planet. I'm all about supporting delicious small businesses that are intentional with building relationships with their community - that's what builds customer loyalty. When I'm back in LA, my first stop will not be In-N-Out *dramatic pause* - it'll be Aca Grill. There's also a 100% chance I'll be back tomorrow before my flight. read more

ACA Grill - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They raised their price a bit from the 1st time I came few years back but I think it's still worth it! The most popular order is #1 where you get rice, beans, veggies and for meat you get all 3: chorizo, asado and the pork. All the meat have good flavors and the asado especially is so tender, but the trick I learned from my friend that I forgot to do...is to ask for #1 without chorizo to get a few more pieces of pork and asado. The chorizo is good but I'd rather have more of the other meats. Cheese balls aren't bad either. Compared to cheese balls I've had before, the color is more orange so I think they use more of a cheddar or stronger cheese. And I love that I could get Guarana here! They do have a small lot for the small plaza but it can be limited during busier times. Otherwise it's street parking. Also, when I went, it was cash only. Not sure if that's their usual or temporary. read more

I love this place. My usual is the #2 plate, all asado. As other reviewers have said, the asado is to die for. This is a family-owned and operated business. I hope they make it through this really tough time in history. The family members here are very nice. They're very focused on getting orders in and out, so on some days you may not get the ridiculous Ritz Carlton service that some idiots on here for some reason expect. During Covid, I recommend that you call in your order in advance, as it can sometimes take 30-45 minutes for them to prepare for you. If that's also something you want to get bitchy about, my guess is you need a therapist and prescription medications at minimum. For my usual #2 plate with all asado, the cost is $19.99 plus tax. It's not totally cheap, but the meat is amazing. For everyone bitching or nitpicking about price, just go somewhere else and settle for lesser beef. During Covid, I've tried giving 35% to 40% tips, as this family is dedicated, works so hard, and puts up with so much unnecessary crap from customers and Yelp reviewers. However, the mom essentially never accepts the tips! I think that's really great about her. If you've never tried ACA Grill, and you love slow cooked beef, you need to at least sample their asado. read more
