Our Top Pick
Madera Cuban Grill & Steakhouse
Cuban classics paired with a true grill-and-steakhouse focus.
Notable Picks
A Cuban-leaning steakhouse built around grilled meats, bold sauces, and a lively room that can shift from weeknight dinner to full-on weekend energy. The kitchen hits hardest when you treat it like a grill-first spot: one signature steak, one traditional Cuban plate, and a side that soaks up chimichurri or mojo without getting heavy.
Must-Try Dishes:
Skirt steak with chimichurri, Ropa vieja, Paella de mariscos
What makes it special: Cuban classics paired with a true grill-and-steakhouse focus.

An Argentinian parilla with smoke-forward grilling and a menu that shines when you order for contrast—one beef cut, one seafood or vegetable plate, and a shareable starter to set the pace. It’s a strong pick for steakhouse-style dining that feels modern and intentional, especially if you lean into the wood-grilled specialties rather than over-ordering sides.
Must-Try Dishes:
Empanadas, Skirt steak from the parilla, Parrillada-style mixed grill
What makes it special: Wood-fired Argentinian grilling with a Michelin Guide-listed profile.
