La Vaca is an independent, family run Steakhouse based in Broomhill, providing a taste of South America. Rodrigo (born in Chile) and wife Gloria wan to bring a taste of the fabulous steak restaurants of Chile and Argentina to the UK, using the best local, quality beef and cooking over an authentic open charcoal grill.
Ben took me to La Vaca for my birthday meal in February and it was bloody good. It was a Monday evening, however the restaurant started to become busy from about 7pm which was a good sign, and we quickly saw why…
We decided to go for the Parrillada - Minimum of 2 people £21.50pp; Includes 2 x 8oz Sirloin steaks (cooked to preference - ours is medium rare), chorizo, morcilla (mini sweet Spanish black pudding), pork ribs and chips. We also got a side of Greek Salad £3.50 and Baked Tomatoes £3.00. Our aim was to take any leftovers home… but there wasn't any.
The steaks were juicy, the chorizo was lovely, the ribs were a tad dry but we still enjoyed them and I have to say I don't usually eat black pudding but I tried it and it was so tasty, I ended up eating it all. The side dishes gave our palettes a little cleanse throughout all that meat and were really refreshing and light. We cleared our plates with too much ease.
The staff here were attentive, the restaurant itself is a little dated decor wise, however it's obvious that it's a popular place which people return to due to the quality meat and humble, down to earth serving.

I hope that my review has inspired you to give this place a try. If you have anywhere you recommend I should eat at, please leave a comment below. If you are a restaurant/food vendor and would like to collaborate with me in any way, please just email me at jensfoodblog@gmail.com!
