Guide Review
Though the service at El Almacen can be less than stellar, the food here is remarkable. Imagine steaks bigger than your entire head. Or, if you aren't red-meat inclined, there's plenty of pork, and even some chicken suizas on the menu. Top it off with some beef ceviche and share a basket of avacado fries. El Almacen finally has their liquor license, with well-priced South American and Spanish reds that will pair nicely with your meal.
Brunch is also offered on the weekends but the kitchen tends to get a bit overwhelmed, so don't go if you're starving. El Alamacen is a romantic little bistro with a sweet outdoor garden open in warmer months - a great place to kick back and indulgene in some serious carnivorous dining.
