The food was so delicious! I loooved the food. The meat was soft, juicy and flavorful. And the salad was so fresh and yummy! I especially liked the salsas and the dressing too. Did I mention the beans and rice were also yummy? So yummy! I'm going back again. Already craving the salad, beans and rice, salsa, and meat! read more

The #1 plate that they have is pretty good. I also got a chicken plate, but wasn't even up to par. They use canned corn and decent veggies. Their cheese ball is pretty good and the empanadas was also pretty good. I don't know if I would go back because it was just alright in taste. read more

The beef Asado is the star of this place. If it's your first time here, order the Asado only plate #2 and call it a day. It's ~$24 for the plate. I'm a cheapass, but the quality and taste of the beef justifies its price. It really is that good and you will think about it and crave it here and there. read more

This place is located in the same plaza at San aka Mountain Cafe. Parking can be a pain, but when you go during off hours, you should be able to find lot parking otherwise you gotta street park. Ordered #1 with asado only which is a $1 or $2 more. Otherwise the regular #1 comes with asado, pork belly and chorizo. Everything tasted so gooood! The rice, veggies, salsa, and chimichurri was perfect with the meat. Definitely a good spot for a quick lunch. read more

ACA Grill - #1 with asado only - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The first thing that caught my eye was how easy the bone came off of the asado. I ordered the number 1 plate and was watching the kitchen to see how they prepared it. Once I saw that bone come off clean I was done and I knew that I'll enjoy my dinner. I was right. Everything was so good. All the meats were cooked to perfection, and the vegetables added a good balance to the savory meats. It also comes with this green sauce that goes really well with the meats. They have a red sauce too, but use sparingly because it's HOT. It also comes with rice and beans which were ok. The main attractions are definitely the meats. Parking is hard to find because it shares with several other restaurants. Street parking is your best option unless you're really lucky and come when someone is about to leave. read more

This will be a long message so I apologize for that beforehand. Yesterday evening, I went to pick up a to-go order with my sister and brother-in-law at aca grill on 8th street. My sister and I waited in the car and my brother-in-law went to go pick up the food. Shortly after, we heard loud noises and fighting so we went to go see what was happening. The owner (man) was pushing my brother-in-law outside of the store and my brother-in law was yelling because he was mad about something. My sister and I went to stop the fight but a male worker there came to stop us and was cussing us out and telling us to get out (looking like he was going to physically attack us) The female owner was holding onto the male worker. Since we didn't know the situation on what happened before, we tried to calm down my b-i-l but the problem was the male owner. The male owner pushing by b-i-l was not enough so he said: "are you really trying to fight? Okay, then I'll send my son out so you guys can fight outside. Go ahead" This is really exactly what he said. He said it twice. So I was trying to reason and asked if the male worker was the owner's son. I asked why you aren't trying to stop the fight but now even make things worse. Then the son got angry again and was cussing me out and was in a position to hit us. Then the female owner took the son and the male owner (husband) in and blocked them from coming out, while continuously apologizing to my b-i-l. When I asked the female owner what was going on, she said that she had accidentally given our food to another customer. We often order from here and although it was uncomfortable, my b-i-l just said okay and didn't make it a big deal and waited. Then all of a sudden, the son said to my b-i-l "what are you looking at" and started picking a fight. My b-i-l asked "what did you say?" to him and the son started swearing and said to "get the f*** out" The female owner was apologetic and then the male owner came out saying "why are you even bothering with this guy who doesn't matter". There was a couple who saw the whole situation as well as the next door owner who came to stop the fight. Pretty much everyone knew that the son and the father were at fault. The female owner was saying that the son was just in a bad mood since the morning. No matter how bad your mood is, that is not how you should act towards a customer and just even another person. (especially when it's your fault in the first place) Because of the female owner, we were thinking of just letting this go. But the thought of how the male owner and the son acted was so wrong that we have to post this. We are never going back to that place again and I hope that they don't continue to do business that way and create problems for other customers. Thank you for reading this. read more

Very small place with good quality food but didn't think it was anything spectacular. I got the ACA plate 1 with asada/chorizo. There's a choice of three meats that you can chose a mix of so if I were to come back I'd chose all chorizo and try the empanadas. My friend got the butter shrimp plate. Again, good but nothing spectacular in my opinion. You grab your own utensils and order in the front and seat yourself but they will bring your food to you. Check in for a free drink. They have unique beverages I've never tried before. read more

ACA Grill - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

First of all, food is awesome. Everything tastes great and meats are juicy and not dry. Food tastes fresh and good quality meat. If you are in Koreatown or driving thru, definitely a place to grab a bite to eat. Would highly recommend and will be back for more! read more

Very small and cozy family like kind of place! I always get the number two dish and extra sauce. Seems like it is a family owned restaurant and they are always so friendly! The food of course tastes amazing always with good enough portions for a dinner meal read more

When here and got the 3 meat platter. Been waiting to try this place and I was not disappointed. I brought 3 friends and we came hungry The brisket was soft and had great flavor. The pork belly was nice but nothing special. The real star was the sausage. It had a great snap to it and the stuffing was nicely seasoned. The potato cheese ball was good, nothing special. Parking can be hard to come by, so look for street parking. The restaurant is small so I would call ahead for parties larger then 6. read more

As a wife of an Argentinean I am super picky about my asado. This place seems family run with a couple who lived in Argentina. The food was absolutely delicious! Asado was tender and juicy (important for someone rocking braces), thr chorizo was so flavorful and not super greasy, oh and the salad bar was clean and not overwhelming. I tried the beef and chicken empanadas and they were stuffed to the max; plus the dough is made in house! I got the aca plate 1. Quarter pound of asado, salad, and greens. With the chimichuri the asado was perfecto! Overall my experience was great :). Will def be back for thr pork belly~ read more

ACA Grill - Aca 1 with salad instead of rice and beans. - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

I've walked by this place so many times and I honestly thought it was one of those typical korean owned Mexican restaurants. I even mocked it for saying asado than asada. Oops. I can't even say in words how good this place is. They have 3 meats: asado, chorizo, and pork belly. They're all sooooo good. The asado is always perfectly cooked and very tender, you can taste all the peppers in the chorizo, and the pork belly has the perfect seasoning to it. I usually order the food to go, but I've eaten inside once and the waitress (I think she was the owner) was so so so nice. She checked up on us a couple times and when she came by to pick up the plates, she applauded us for finishing everything hahaha. Also just a heads up, the restaurant is very small. I counted maybe 10 seats in total. 4 window counter seats and 6 table seats.. read more

ACA Grill - Plate #1 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I had a combination plate of with the asada (beef) and pork belly. The asada was moist and tasty, whereas the pork belly was dry and not well seasoned. The rice and black beans were nothing special, but their side salad tasted good because of the dressing that was provided. Their empanadas are small (a couple of bites), but amazingly, they're not greasy, and the wrap was quite thin for an empanada. Service here is very attentive. However, the space is small with about 3 tables of 4 and 4 tables of 2. In addition, while the a/c is on, it can get quite warm from the heat emitted from the kitchen area. read more

Good food and rice itself is chewy and tasty... Korean barbecue on rice is awesome!!! I should have ordered number 2 for more meat.. read more

ACA Grill - Number 1 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been in this plaza numerous times for Mountain cafe but I can't believe I never noticed ACA Grill before. It's a pretty small restaurant but I went with a friend during an odd hour - not quite lunch or dinner - so it wasn't too crowded. Be sure to check in and get the free drink! Get the guarana! My friend and I both ordered the number one plate and got empanadas. The empanada was soo good. I don't know too many places around LA that sell empanada besides Uba Tuba (Western and Sixth) so I was pretty satisfied. In general, there aren't too many Argentinian grills that I know of so when the plate came out I was surprised by the amount of meat and sides that came with it for the price. Of the chorizo, asado, and pork belly, the asado was definitely my favorite. It was super tender and juicy and the chimichurri sauce goes great with it. There is hot sauce on the table but don't be a dunce like me and pour a large amount of it on your food. I love spicy food, but that sauce burns and took me two cups of water to be able to resume eating. I'm super glad I found this place as I think it is a great alternative to other similar Brazilian steakhouses in the area like M Grill or Fogo de Chao. As much as I do enjoy the all you can eat aspect at times, the plates at ACA grill are the perfect serving size for me at a much more reasonable price. Definitely will be coming back again. read more

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

Although I had to wait almost 1 hour for my order, the food definitely made up for the wait. I ordered Aca Plate #2 with Asado & Pork Belly and a Beef Empanada beef. The Asado was tender or well seasoned, the pork belly delicious as always, and the empanada was also delicious. I would definitely go back to try the Paella! read more

Came here because a few people recommended but maybe because of all the hype I had expected a lot better. I ordered #1 plate with all 3 different meat (asado, chorizo, pork belly). The asado was not good quality as I could tell by looking at the meat. There were lots of empty fatty holes between the meats and I knew I was right because I got confirmation with the person iw went with who is in the restaurant business. The flavor alsadond seasoning was good tho. The pork belly and chorizo tasted like anywhere else. Their ric ice was super bland with no flavor but the color was orange so was confused if it was supposed to have some different flavor or the orange color was just for color. I liked that they used good quality salad. Their beef empanada was a lot better than chicken. I think for someone who's never tried Argentinian food this place will be good but if you've had homemade Argentinian food elsewhere then you'll be disappointed. I feel that delicious food will taste good and flavorful without the condiments or sauces. Because anything and everything tastes good with sauces (chimichuri). So in order to see the real taste it needs to be tasted without sauces. Parking sucks in that little plaza. read more

ACA Grill - 3 meat combo plate. - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Chimmichurri and asado. Need I say more. Meat is so tender and soft after the hours of baking. Then topping it off on the grill, these people know their way around the grill. Their sausage is amazing. A chorizo that is not greasy and oily but hearty and flavorful. I still have yet to try a chorizo of their kind. And If you like hot, try their hot sauce. Blows king tacos red sauce out the water. WARNING: it's freaken hot. So for a first timer you need to get a #1 or #2 plate (asado and chorizo) and an empanada. AND be extra generous with the green sauce (: read more

ACA Grill - #2 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What can i say bout this place? Its AMAZING!!! Parking: The only part i dislike is parking. The lot is so tiny and is shared with other restaurants so you'll need to find parking elsewhere. Service: Well, its a you order and pay up at the front type of place. They're very nice! Food: THE BEST PART!!!! You pay a little more than 10 dollars to enjoy your choice of 2 from 3 different types of meat. Id suggest staying with asado. You wont regret it!!! The other meats are very delicious as well, im just not a sausage person or a pork belly person if i can get delicious tender pieces of asado! Atmosphere: Its pretty small, yet ive always gotten a seat even during lunch! Woohoo! Is it luck? Overall, for an affordable price, you can treat yourself to a delicious meat entree. It is packed with flavor, so you'll definitely want to come back once you've tried this place! read more

ACA Grill - Already started eating since it is SOOOO DELICIOUS!! Plate #1 with belly and asado. - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

You know the food is bomb dot com when you find yourself at the same restaurant 2-3x a week. ;P ASADO ASADO ASADO !!! Love at first bite- makes me do a happy dance as soon as I take that first bite. Super tender and perfectly seasoned.. Pair it with their homemade green sauce and baby Jesus.. you'll know why I'm so obsessed with this place. Cheese balls could be better, beef empanadas are pretty good. Sadly, they're slowly starting to raise their prices, but it's still a reasonable price for the quality of food you're getting. ($1-1.50 extra if you choose only asado on your plate) The parking lot is kinda small but I've never struggled to find a spot- and no valet! Woohoo just another reason to love this spot~ read more

ACA Grill - Plate 1 with only asado- yummy in my tummy - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Waited 40 minutes for our food..... I've never waited so long for something this long. They gave us 3 forks for 4 entrees.. Sigh Asado was yummy but little fatty. Pork belly was pretty thick with a lot of fat like every other pork belly. Chorizo was decent. The green hot sauce that comes with it made the meal better. Not too spicy but enough for it to be tasty. We asked for extra hot sauce and told us they usually charge for it. It was a red one and omg it was ridiculously spicy you will choke on it lol. Empanada was pretty good but idk if it's worth $1.25 for one. Cheese balls omg regret buying it. No flavor and doesn't taste like anything. Just chewy. 4 entrees and 4 empanada and 4 cheese balls came out to $52. Only had $50 and they let us just pay $50. So that was nice. Overall, would I come back to this place for 40 min wait? I don't think so. Only if someone took me out here, I wouldn't mind because the food was pretty decent. read more

ACA Grill - #1 with all the meat & cheese balls & empanada - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Delicious Argentinian-style grill with some excellent asado, chorizo, and pork belly. The family meal is well worth the price, capable of feeding a hungry crowd of 4+ at probably no more than $30 per person when sharing. Also comes with rice, chimichurri, and salad. read more

Went on a Friday night per yelp reviews, prices are reasonable and portions are large. Pros: pork belly was delicious, so much so we ordered more la carte. Cons: small, not much parking. The steak.... seemed old and lacking in flavor. The chorizo didn't resemble anything Argentinian I've tasted. More like pepperonis. And the sides were average at best, Resembling corn and beans from a can. And we also ordered a small ceviche plate... that we didn't finish. Lacked flavored again. Lastly, the empanadas.. well we didn't finish them either. In summary, pork belly was the star. But not enough for me to come again or recommend. read more

3.5 stars. I have been coming here for years. I think it is finally time for me to write a review. This place is a mom and pop store. Their son works here as well. Back then, I would have given this place 5 stars! But it is way too expensive now for the portion they provide. It used to be $9.99 for number 1 option back in the days (not THAT long ago either). Now the price went up to $11.49! I always get asado only so I pay a dollar extra on top of that (other meats are pretty dry). They used to have a Yelp deal where you can get a free drink with Yelp check in, but that is long gone now. They can get a little cheap with their sauces for to-go orders (when it is free if you eat there). They only include the green sauce (which is really good). Their red hot sauce (spicy & good) is not included! You have to buy it if you want it to-go... So I usually just spray some on my food before I take it to-go. The quality is the same. Portion is a little small now for the price you have to pay. Today I got number 2 instead of number 1 so I don't end up hungry after my meal. Number 2 with asado only came out to $17.99!!! Will I come back! Absolutely. Will I come as often? Probably not. I can eat myself till I explode at ayce kbbq places with a little more money. read more

ACA Grill - Number 2 with asado only. $17.99. - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

It's in the corner of a tiny plaza with limited parking. There's about 5 tables inside and I didn't see anyone working at First, but at least it gave me some time to look at the menu. They have 3 main meat: asado, chorizo, and pork belly. The pork belly is cooked to perfection; crispy on the outside and buttery melty goodness on the inside. The chorizo is delicious and packed with enough spice. The asado was just ok but the sauce that came with the meal made it tasty. I ordered the aca plate #1 which has less meat, which is fine for my first time trying it. I don't like beans so they gave me extra salad with their vinaigrette dressing. It compliments the meat well and the meal was super filling. I would totally recommend this place if you're in the area. read more

ACA Grill - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Asado !! You craving for some Argentinean bbq ?? Local place in K-town is a to go place foshow! Their ribs are pretty good with some salad and rice makes it a good choice. For larger crowds ordering a whole rib is definitely a good choice ! Recommendation: -Beef Ribs -Guarana (brazilian soda) - Choripan (Sausage sandwich) This place is not good if you have a really big party. Since their store is more of a togo place with a couple of tables only. Be prepared to come out of the restaurant with bbq smell! Their empanadas are not that great, I would stay away from it. read more

ACA Grill - ACA plate 2 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Don't make many reviews. But super disappointed. I ordered here a few times because of the asado but the portions and service is so bad. I made an order on the phone. When I arrived (btw parking is horrible)my food was not even ready. They had 30 min to make the order!! Also so overpriced. For that amount I rather just go eat at a restaurant. On top of that the owners are just plain rude giving dirty looks. Definitely this place went downhill. Never going back read more

holy oh man, i love this place and I have to fight w/ my coworkers every week just to eat here. They have a short rib special plate with some spicy garlic sauce for $8.99, pair that up with the young empanada and jesus what a meal. Unlimited chimichurri sauce alongside the occasional young guarrana great bang for your buck anytime of the day read more

It's good, it's really good. The sausage was over cooked or reheated but the pork belly and beef was awesome. The side dish of rice, beans, and salad was just okay, not fancy but same taste as anywhere else. The best thing about this place is the price for the quality of the food you are getting. The beef prices are really expensive these days but yet their quality is good, portions are small but for $9.95 it's a great deal for a quick Argentina style fast food. It's a small mom and pop operation so don't expect service or ambiance. But the service was very friendly. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

ACA Grill - Combo 1 $9.99 - Argentine Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've usually get the #2 plate combo and its always amazing. The short rib is so tender and full of flavor, the pork belly is perfectly crispy and excellent ratio of meat to fat. The chorizo is okay, I'm not a good judge on that tbh but the other 2 meats are so good that I'm fine with this being just "okay". The sides corn, beans and rice are a great complement to the meat combo and the garlic sauce (not really sure what it is tbh) that is included is adds so much additional flavor to the meats that I find myself often running out. They do take a while to make the plate (usually about 15-20 minutes) so I'd recommend calling ahead of time so you're not just standing around. Its a small family run hole in the wall store in a small strip mall so the parking is usually tight. read more

My friend and I decided to try this place thanks to positive yelp reviews. ACA grill is a small mom and pop shop that serves delicious Argentinian food. 5 stars for food (Asaso meat is the best) 5 stars for friendliness (there were three people working during lunch hour) 1 star for parking (they have a small lot but it's nearly impossible to find a spot. Do yourself a favor and look for street parking. It'll even make the food taste better after a little walk) read more

Honestly, this is one of the best places for protein. Their beef chunks are really good and tender. The key to this place is their sauce. I think it's a chumichurri or somethings, but with the meat it delicious. I recommend this place highly. read more

Small location. Small parking. Located next to a small ice cream shop. Place inside is definitely family owned and small. Argentine food that is run by Korean people. Don't let them fool you. The food that they cook up here is amazing. Their popular dishes are the ACA plate #1 and ACA plate #2. I went with #1, which comes with chorizo, pork, and asada. I wish I got it without the beans, but yeah it happens. They also top it off with a sauce which I believe is called chimichurri. Alright to start it off, the portion for plate #1 is pretty decent for its price. Perfect amount of rice along with the corns, tomatoes, and vegetables. The asada was pretty good. It wasn't flavorless and it goes well with the chimichurri sauce. I got to say it. The pork here is holy fuck. It's literally amazing. The best tasting pork I've ever had in my 20 years of life. I would literally come back here just to order plates of pork, if they allow me to. I would definitely come back here and try again. I won't forget to ask for no beans. I'll get the ACA plate #2 and update my review on this. You guys should seriously come here. Best fucking tasty pork hands down. read more

Great food from great people. The pork belly and asado plate is killer! I'm glad I found this gem and will definitely be coming here for some good eats. I also tried the beef empanadas and they taste fantastic. Definitely give this spot a try if you're in the area. read more

I'm not Argentinian so I wouldn't know whether this spot serves authentic Argentinian bbq or not. But what I do know is that the food here tastes pretty damn good when it hits my tastebuds...and now I'm a repeat customer who orders from this place at least once every two weeks. Thank you. read more

Owned by a Korean family and right next to drips&swirls (ice cream company) so it's the perfect dinner/ lunch combination. Plaza is extremely small so try to come off hours or park on the streets in the back. Now onto the food. It's Argentinian BBQ and it's amazing. I personally get their Asado only plate, butttt their combo plate is amazing if you want to try everything. The food is the perfect balance and price wise. read more

I really love Argentinian meats and the chimichiri sauce. Looked up Yelp and noticed the great reviews for Aca grill. Got their around 11:30am it was already busy with all the lunch goers. It's very small and really cramp inside ( I mean really cramp). The owners are really nice and the food is decent. I liked the beef the most, the pork belly was ok and so was the chorizo. I would only order all beef the next time I'm there. I substituted all salad for rice and beans and they had no problems with that which was cool. The beef was juicy and tender. Goes well with the chimichiri sauce. Pork belly was just pork belly I could make better. The chorizo was fatty and tasted like a spicy sausage to me. Now typical Ktown parking is cramp and tight but was decent for a strip mall. There were decent amounts of metered street parking as an alternative. read more
