lo de lea steak house

"My daughter, who works at Home Depot across the street from the motel that houses this restaurant, wanted to try it. I was proud of her taste in restaurants. This place is a winner. A bit expensive for what you get, but with terrific service. My kid recently turned 21 and I allowed her to choose the perfect wine to accompany our parillada for two, all meat. She chose a Malbec. Delicious! At previous Argentine-flavored restaurants, I am used to getting a brazier piled up with several cuts of beef, sausages, and notably, sweetbreads. This came on an elongated plate, not exactly piled up. The skirt steak was medium rare, as we like it. The short ribs came in a pair. Hers was all meat. Mine was half fat. I should give it a half-star for the food for that. The blood sausage was truly terrific, it had a bit of chile in the mix that picked it up a notch--not exactly hot, noticeably tasty. The appetizer was baked cheese with some sliced salami-type of sausage topped with cherry tomatoes. Delicious! To top off the meal, the owner stopped by our table to inquire about our meal. That kind of graciousness is absent from everywhere else. Our waiter was excellent. It's worth a return visit."

"Excellent little gem, their lunch menu is phenomenal too. Carla is fantastic, thanks for a great experience!"

"Our first trying this restaurant and everything was great!! The atmosphere was perfectly intimate and the service was unmatched. Carla took care of us and was extremely attentive and welcoming. The food was delicious- we started with the beef empanada and the burrata salad. For mains, we got the salmon and the skirt steak, which both came with 2 sides. The portions were very big and we left with our stomachs full!! We can’t wait to go back!!"

"Very nice atmosphere and excellent service at this steakhouse. We went during lunch and ordered a mahi-mahi with lemon and a milanesa (beef) that came with the lunch menu specials. The tuna tataki was good. Both plates were average, and unfortunately, not worth the price in my opinion. Presentation was underwhelming and the taste was okay. Nothing more, nothing less."

"How lucky we came across this restaurant. The food is delicious and not so crazily priced. We loved the ribeye topped with Brie and mushrooms as well as their skirt steak and Argentinian sausage. The service is also excellent and the atmosphere is cozy. We went back twice during our short stay in North Miami."
