La Estancia Parrilla Restaurante, located at Av de l'Albir, 2, 03581 El Albir, Alicante, stands out as a notable Argentinian steakhouse in the region. The restaurant features a warm atmosphere with clean, well-maintained interiors, complemented by tablecloths and cloth napkins that enhance the dining experience. Many patrons appreciate the inviting ambiance, often remarking on the pleasant views of the nearby beach, especially when seated outdoors. The establishment is known for its attentive service, with staff frequently described as friendly and efficient, contributing to a comfortable dining environment.
The menu offers a variety of Argentinian dishes, with an emphasis on grilled meats. Diners have highlighted the quality of the steaks, empanadas, and homemade desserts, with particular praise for the cheese tart and flan with dulce de leche. A daily menu is available, which includes a drink and dessert, although some guests have noted discrepancies between the advertised prices and what is presented upon seating. While many enjoy the flavors and presentation of the dishes, there have been mixed reviews regarding the consistency of the food quality, particularly with certain cuts of meat that have been reported as tough or lacking flavor on occasion.
Reservations are advisable, especially during peak times, as the restaurant can become quite busy. Guests have mentioned that the wait times can vary, with some experiencing delays between courses. Despite a few criticisms regarding service speed and food temperature, La Estancia Parrilla Restaurante remains a popular choice for those seeking a taste of Argentinian cuisine in a relaxed setting.
The food was acceptable, and if you're friends with the maître or they know you, it's definitely your place. There was quite a wait between the starters and the main courses. They serve an appetizer if you order beer, apparently randomly, as we weren't lucky. A table with a reservation for five arrived, and since there were only four of them, they cleared a table that was already occupied to give it to the five, seating them at the table that already had diners. I've eaten in all kinds of restaurants, and this is the first time I've seen something like this. We won't be coming back…

We had Menu 1 a couple of years ago so decided to have it again based on the previous experience. That time it was good, portions a little on the small side but to be expected at a cost of 12 euros. This time the steak was inedible, 80% fat, the pudding wasn't great either. Lovely waitress though so we left a tip for her. The tip for the food would be avoid, avoid, avoid.

It was a great choice. From the food to the service from the staff, everything was just right. The food was very tasty, the meat was cooked perfectly, and the empanadilla had a very good flavor. The cheesecake was spectacular. We'll be back soon!

Having read all the very positive reviews I was expecting great things. Sadly we were to be very disappointed. We all chose the €18 lunch menu 2 had empanadas and 2 salads. The empanadas were quite tasty, but we have had better, and the salads were ok, but not outstanding. For mains 3 of us had secreto Iberia, which sadly was almost tasteless, but nicely cooked. The other had the entrecot. Unfortunately the steak was so tough it was inedible! Not good. And we were still charged for it. Also we ordered 2 bottles of the house wine and were not given any reduction for not having the glass of wine included with the menu. Overall not impressed and will not be returning.

An excellent experience. The place is very well decorated, with a pleasant and clean atmosphere. The service was friendly and quick, and the dishes exceeded my expectations in both flavor and presentation. Good value for money. Definitely a place to return to and recommend.

We have already returned! A wonderful menu! It was truly a discovery. The Argentine restaurants I know are more expensive and not better for it. I enjoyed the food, the atmosphere, and the place. Plus, the tables come with tablecloths and cloth napkins! We went at night and there are menus. Everything was really good and the service is impeccable. We will be back!

A fantastic place to come for a meal. Sea views, cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and very pleasant service. Moreover, we hardly had to wait. Excellent value for money. It's advisable to make a reservation. Definitely worth repeating.

There is a daily menu displayed in front of the restaurant, but when we sat down, we were only offered the à la carte menu, which had much higher prices than those advertised at the entrance. If you want this menu need to ask for it. The food was okay for the price, considering that the menu includes a drink and dessert. The empanada appetizer was quite tasty. However, the main course was disappointing—the meat arrived cold, and the potatoes were undercooked. The meat was tough and difficult to chew, so we ended up leaving some pieces on the plate. The dessert, on the other hand, was worth it. We ordered the flan with dulce de leche, which was well-served and delicious. In addition to the drink included with the daily menu, we also ordered a sangria, which was excellent and generously served. I’m not sure if I would return—perhaps the quality would be better with a more expensive à la carte dish. The service was disappointing. The waitstaff never looked at our table, and we had to wait a long time just to place our order. The time between courses was also very slow. By the end, we were so frustrated that we went to the register to pay because even getting the bill wasn’t easy.

Our 2nd time at this place that is very close to the beach, and this time we were seated where we can see it. As always, food and service were great, loved their desserts. We celebrated my husband's birthday and they surprised him, we had a fun time!
