🇪🇸 LA VACA, a popular barbecue restaurant in Alicante

🍖 Asado Spot in Alicante: Juicy Meats & Killer Empanadas (Worth the Outdoor Seat!) Weekend nights call for (barbecue)—and this spot? Delivered, even without a reservation. We dashed over as soon as they opened, and while the lack of booking meant we scored an outdoor table (no complaints there!), the food? Made it all worthwhile. 🥟 The MVP: Argentine Empanadas (Way Better Than Chain Stores) Let’s start with the star: their empanadas. Forget those generic (chain) versions—these are next-level. Crispy, buttery crust, packed with filling that’s oily in the best way (never greasy). We loved them so much, we ordered seconds—swapping flavors to try more. The beef? Classic, savory, and 100% my favorite. Chicken? Solid, but beef takes the crown. 🔥 The Grills: Fresh, Fast, and So Tempting You can smell the magic before you walk in—chefs grilling over open flame right by the door. The meat? Sizzling, charred, and ready in 30 seconds after hitting the table. We went for the mixed platter (you can order individual cuts too), and every bite was tender, juicy, and full of that smoky, grilled flavor. Pro tip: Show up hungry—portions are generous. 👥 Service: A Step Up from the Downtown Location Been to their city center spot? Service felt rushed, maybe because it’s busier. Here? Way calmer. Even with fewer staff, they checked in regularly and kept the drinks flowing. Nice change! 💰 Price Tag: A Steal for 4 People Four adults, stuffed to the brim, and the bill? €25–30 per person. For quality this good? Total win. 📍 Av. Albufereta, 1, 03016 Alacant, Alicante (outdoor seating = bonus points for vibe!) #AlicanteGrill #ArgentineFood #MeatLovers #WeekendEats
