La Rural

RIBEYE and BEEF EMPANADAS WERE EXCELLENT… However, mash potatoes and salad were okay… Waiter was no where to be seen when it wasnt even busy…

This restaurant in Weston, Fla is a MUST go to. The empanadas were wonderful, pastry was very flaky and many fillings to choose from. My entrée wasI the skirt steak, simply the best I have ever had. My husband had the flap steak which was equally delicious, tender and flavorful. Veggies and salad were really good and a compliment to our entrees. Service was outstanding as well. Nice find.

I just left this restaurant. I had the beast experience and steak in my life. I wish I loved closer or I would be a frequent customer. Great service and food, and the view is spectacular.

I thought that this place was going to be great and it turned out to be a great disappointment!!! We sat outside because it’s freezing cold inside. The waiter took our order and after quickly bringing our food, he totally FORGOT we were there seriously we had to go inside to ask for more water for our 4 year old and our check and even when he brought the check he took another 25 minutes to charge our card. We noticed that they automatically charge an 18% for tips which i wouldn’t have given him at all. The food was mediocre. Save your $$$ and go to a real steak house. HORRIBLE!!!‘Enough said !!!

Nice restaurant right next to there butcher shop. Great steak and great value. Every steak comes with a choice of one side and a side salad no way I could finish the NY strip I ordered. My steak was perfectly cooked and the service was very nice. I am always surprised that this place is not more crowded more of the time given the quality of the food.

Honestly our steak was overcooked … We didn’t ask for change since we were on a rush to watch a movie … Tip: Plates are big so think twice and ask your stomach how hungry you are

Excellent food, wine and service. I love this restaurant!

This is my favorite restaurant in Broward. It’s perfect every time. I love love love it.

The ambiance here is beautiful when you sit outside you have a beautiful view I been coming here for years and I always sit outside. This time I came for my favorite cut which is the Punta Y Anca aka Picanha and it no longer had the strip of fat it use to come with and the cheese is now crumbles instead of little square blocksthat used to give the salad a rich taste. The steak was okay it use to be very special and fresh but without the gorditos and the taste of curado it’s not worth it anymore. I’ll be sticking to Grazianos, I prefer a real cut of Picanha and fresh. This place no longer really cares about the satisfaction of the customer instead of the numbers that are coming in … It’s was nice while it lasted La Rural.

Great food, large generous portions so be ready. Yummy chimichurri :) my boyfriend loved the medium rare porter house he got, and the servers were wonderful and friendly

I live nearby and we decided to try this restaurant for the first time. What a disappointment!
I ordered the lobster ravioli and my husband ordered the churrasco.
The lobster ravioli did not have any lobster. It was stuffed with a strong fishy tasting breadcrumb mixture. Terrible! I usually just tough it out, but I actually had to send it back, it was so bad. The waitress I suppose was trying to do her job, so she tried to convince us that lobster has a strong flavor. Uhhh… I don’t think so! Then I ordered a basic grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes. The portion was huge and the taste was ok although dry. The side of mashed potatoes had absolutely no flavor.
My husband is the one that wanted to try this place because he loves Argentinian steak houses, but he too was disappointed in the skirt steak. It was seasoned well, but thin cut and over cooked. He said it felt like shoe leather in his mouth.
There was a sign that said it was Zagat rated in 2011, and I wondered why it was only from one year. Now I know.
We were hoping to find a new place to eat in our neighborhood, but this is definitely not the place.

Great service and even better food. The Stella are so tasty and great! The patio overlooking the lagoon is really nice! Plates are huge, you can order one to share.

The food was delicious and the customer service was even better. Great staff. Nice atmosphere :)

Cuando decidi ir tenia ciertas dudas… era la primera vez q ibamos y era x El cumple 20 de MI hija, pero una vez q nos sentamos quedamos encantados con la atencion, la comida deliciosa, el piqueo, y encima en el patio con la brisa y el lago, realmente fue un momento muy bello. Gracias a todos los que forman parte del equipo de la Rural, en especial a los waiters por su atencion hoy Domingo de easter, pascua. Thanks so much!!!

Is this place for real? 16oz steaks, lunch and dinner? Glad I found this little gem on my work visit. Unilocal has done it again, another good recommendation.
Was nervous coming here, an Argentinian steak house and in shorts.
The restaurant is Ina shopping center, and when you walk in there is no hostes, the waiter sat me down. Sat outside, nice patio overlooking a pond, and a big olé cow!
I ordered the NY strip steak, with a side of sweet potato fries, and you get a salad.
This place is really really tasty (steak needed a little salt, and once I did that, we had liftoff), and the salad dressing and salad are crazy good.
Service was really good, and loved the setting.
However, the one thing I found strange is: soccer re-​Runs from Spain were on, R&b music, and restaurant in a shopping center, and beef from Arkansas.
Hell, who cares, good steak and I love R&b!
Love me the cow sitting next to me, and Jose is a great waiter. Enjoyed his service and personality.’

Not the best. Not the worst. Not very satisfying at all. Just not very good.
Wanting a steak, we found this place on Unilocal because the consensus from other Unilocalers showed it pretty much rated 4* reviews. Walking in on a Friday night at 7:30, we wondered if we would need reservations. Surprisingly, we entered an empty dining room with the exception of one other couple. Hmmmmmm. Wonder why they would be deserted at a prime time dinner hour?
A smiling waiter named Byron promptly brought us menus. He immediately recommended specials not on the menu: the bone-​in ribeye or bone-​in porterhouse, each with a salad and side for $ 55. Not wanting a huge meal, we both opted for the $ 29 boneless ribeye featured on the menu with the same salad-​and-​side options. Byron reminded us twice, or did he repeat himself three times, that this cheaper steak was nowhere near the quality of his aforementioned ‘special’ $ 55 offering. He was frankly a little too insistent for our liking. He flat-​out stated the menu offering for $ 29 was not a very good cut. Odd, since it was on the menu with no notation indicating it was an inferior option.
I understand a waiter trying to up-​sell. But his more than aggressive approach was very off-​putting — such that we almost considered leaving, but wrote off his aggressive nature as youthful ignorance.
Turns out, he was right about the $ 29 ribeye being an inferior cut. The steaks were large and well-​presented, but both were very tough — almost inedible. My companion mentioned that her knife must be dull as she sawed away trying to cut her meat. We so wanted to enjoy our dinner, but the tough, sinewy steaks just were not very good. And the sides were equally bad: the salad had a citrus vinaigrette that was more vinegar than citrus, and the pasty mashed potatoes had no flavor at all.
Compounding our less than satisfying evening out, we had to ask Byron repeatedly if we could please have some bread or crackers with our salad. We noticed the only other couple in the empty dining room had bread, so we asked again and again if we too could have some bread. Byron finally relented & delivered two small cylindrical loaves the size of a hot dog bun. Guess since we didn’t order the expensive steaks, we were not going to get to enjoy a full-​service dining experience without a struggle.
We both ended up leaving almost half our meal due to the combination of gristly, sinewy, tough cuts and flavorless sides. Why would a steakhouse offer such a crummy steak? Either offer a reasonably-​tender cut at a more than fair price point, or only offer the higher-​priced cut if it was in fact that much better. But don’t serve the crummy piece of shoe leather we ordered for a not-​insignificant price of $ 29.
After eating here, it’s easy to see why this place was deserted on a Friday night: the service is not very professional, and the food is lousy.

Great place for steak!
The difference between the lunch menu and regular menu is about 50 cents (and the portions of course). Skip the lunch menu and go for the bigger portions
Service has improved

La comida y el servicio son excelentes!
Me hizo recordar a las mejores parrillas de Buenos Aires!
Seguramente volvere.

Stopped by as a last minute choice for lunch and I am so glad we did!
Upon walking up we felt super under dressed, we had just came from the beach, but they seated us no problem and at no point did I feel like I was being judged for half of our group being in swim trunks still. Note: we all had cover ups on.
I ordered the grilled sweat rolls and the gentleman was kind enough to explain what they were and make sure I wanted them first. Thank you for that!!! Regardless I tried them and they were good!
Service was amazing. The gentleman were constantly filing our cups and making sure we were good.
Be ready though, the servings are HUGE. Well worth the price.

This place was great! Awesome service! I came here with my coworkers for lunch and got the top sirloin medium and was cooked perfectly! And the price was good at 12.95. Will definitely come again!

I’m so glad that we ended here today! We headed to another restaurant and fortunately was closed so we looked into Unilocal because we were starveling some parrillada.
We seated in La terraza which was very comfty, fresh air and a lake view. As soon as we seated we told to our waiter that we were almost fainting, that we need food and quick! So he bring us fresh and warm bread with an authentic chimichurri sauce. Empanadas argentinas were flavorful and juicy We had the beef and also cheese with corn. (We took out some)
Also we ordered La tablita for appetizer that is a sample of morcilla (blood sausages) chorizo, red pepper, molleja. Also everything in the point.
All this food came out soon. I was full already for order an entrée, so we decided to share, glad we did!
After 20 – 25 mins of waiting for the Cowboy cut with mashed potatoes and salad. This huge plate came into our table. It was even more than we expected. Perfectly medium cooked that melts in the mouth! Not every meat can reach to that point.
The service was A+ and the food all the stars. Out check was $ 79 and we had beer and sodas.
Definitively if u want a real Argentinean food, good cuts of meat, relax ambiance. This is the place.

I was invited by our Doctor for a staff appreciation lunch. I have been doing a vegetarian diet for 3 months now so it was very difficult to find something to satisfy my eating habits however it is a steak house so it was definitely expected.
To begin, the appetizers were empanadas with spinish which were nice and full with a smooth yet crunchy taste.
For dinner I ended up with sauteed veggies, salad and a skirt steak well done. Besides the fact of them not having many options for my preferences the food was tasty and full of flavor.
Dessert was good but very sweet mainly recommend for a group to share.
