Restaurante El Arriero in Santa Cruz de la Sierra

Excellent place. Please please try eye of beef.Is amazing!

Absolutely amazing food and service

Very friendly service. Good quality food

Excellent option in Santa Cruz. The meat was great and the staff was very helpful. Recommended.

Excellent service!Very good food!

This is by far the best steakhouse we visited in Bolivia. The staff was super friendly and attentive to all of our requests. We had the baby picanha & tira that were AMAZING, to finish off our experience the cocktails were probably the best we had in Bolivia, my favorite was the achachairu sour (which is a typical bolivian fruit).Rest assured, if you’re in Santa Cruz, you have to visit this place

Great staff and attention. The place looks crowded, but is well distributed. Food is delicious, great variety of meat.

The service is great, friendly staff that take their time to treat the guests personally and chit chat a bit.As a medium rare steak lover always get disappointed. Showing pictures and making ir clear i want between inglesa and al punto did not help. Meat arrived overcooked between medium and well done. Gotta stop eating meat in restaurants that insist there are just 4 cooking points and grill it myself.

Best steak and barbecue of Santa Cruz. A must go!

El Arriero is always a treat. Its great because of the small things, such as the salad with fresh veggies, the very prompt service, and the freshly-baked bread which is addictive. Its equally great for what you come here for in the first place: quality beef in more cuts that you can even memorize. The wine list is good, even though they may run low on half-bottles form time to time. Hey, there is a supply-chain problem, remember? The restaurant has undergone a slow yet interesting metamorphosis over the years, expanding seating for its patrons which literally mob this place on weekends and most evenings. This place is not to be missed if you are in Santa Cruz. Enjoy.

Excellent steak, generous sides, at a very good price. Will be back soon.

Great food.... excellent service!!!

Uniqe experience, meat outstanding, wine card high level, service execellent.Anders, Denmark

If you are a meat lovers this is the right place , the best cold beer in Santa Cruz, 100% recommended

Perfect canopy, outdoorsy, not loud, good rib eye steak!Friendly service.

In short, the best steakhouse by far in Santa Cruz, perhaps the whole of Bolivia

I was excited to go to El Arriero but the meat here wasn’t good.The service was great but the food was subpar.One of the worse stakes I’ve had in a while.The achachairu juice was the best part of my meal. It was tasty and not too sweetI’m giving 1 star bc the meat here was mediocre.You are probably better off going to Los Hierros or even La Casa del Camba.My maid can make a better stake using the grill at home :/Disappointing.

The restaurant was amazing. Excellent food and service. Everyone had taken bio security very seriously, and the experience was very modern.

Excellent. Very great variety of meats and wines. Is important to consider that the place is too expensive

Excellent food and wine selection. Staff also very nice. PricesVs. Quality is outstanding

Excellent food and service but a little too pricey

If you are familiar with some fsmous Santa Cruz’s Steakhouses you may come to this one and expect the same quality and premium cuts.The restaurant and atmosphere is pretty similar to the other restaurants around.While the menu is a bit different, you will still find premium cuts and chops.I am giving them 3 stars, as its really difficult to get them make the steak cooking point propperly, it is a real oddysey to get a real “Rare” or “Blue” steak (talk about being at the city’s best steakhouse)...Other than that, their service is good and the overall experience is enjoyable.

The best in Santa Cruz for meat lovers. Awesome place. Thank you!!

Simply the best, better than all the rest. They serve the best bbq beef than any other restaurant in Santa Cruz. Also there waiting staff are profesional and polite

Picanha was heavenly and the sauce they have for the bread is incredible. Would love to buy a bottle of it for home

The very best in BBQ cooked meat and fish in Santa Cruz. Service just perfect. I love my beef rare and they know exactly what that means.

You cannot get it wrong here, everything you order is really good. Friendly waiters, they will help you get the right meat that you like. We did not wait more than 15 min to have our food in the table. This is one of those places that I do not miss when I go to Santa Cruz. It is a must.

It was good. The steak we ordered and the sides were basic but done well. Our steak (lomowas tender, but the texture wasnt right. My conclusion is that it was possibly tenderized through a powder or papaya for too long.Wed go back for the food and service, hut will likely choose a more economical place instead.

The food was all mediocre and underwhelming for the price point (13 to 25 USD per meal before dessert). The beef was ok. The yucca and french fries were not great. Instead of having a designated waiter everyone just helps out with all the tables. This system wasnt great. They got 1 dish wrong out of 2 and severely overcooked the beef on the other. Decent meal but you could certainly do better for a similar price.

Probably the best steak in town. Attention is great and the prices are worth the experience

Excelente. Great food, wonderful staff. Very attentive waiters!!! Congenial atmosphere.

Decent presentation but too pricey for the type of food. $80 USD for 4 people worth of meat but we could get the same quality and taste for $10usd in any corner where they BBq

Very delicious meal. Good value. Sat outside and enjoyed my meal.

Without any question the best meat and they have become the masters at preparing it. In the past Argentine meat was a no brainer, but nowadays Bolivian meat is amazing and delicious, give it a try you will be so happy. They have well prepared side and tradition side dishes like "arroz con queso". Deserts are just great, homemade flan, torta helada and brownie topped with vanilla ice cream. You will love this place, but go early, it is always packed.

Excellent flavor and execution of the meat. The years of experience and confidence in their food is palpable.The waiters are very good and service is fast!The ambience really cool and comfortable, the complete experience is worth the price.

Great meat. You wont be disappointed.

Definitely my favorite spot in Santa Cruz.Great food and huge portions, so keep that in mind when ordering.We didnt really manage to find an English speaking waiter either of the two times we went, but the staff was very friendly and service minded either way, so we managed fine without

Best steaks in town. This is the place where locals go to eat steak, so you know you are at the right venue for steak. Much better than other chains such as La Cabrera and Los hierros. Service is surprisingly fast and quality is consistent. Try to book in advance as usually the place is booked. Recommend the Colita de Cuadril and the chorizo. You get a delicious salad, fries, and rice for free with any steak order. Oh and their sauce for the bread is the best one in town. Seriously

Good meat! Prompt service. About U$20 per person.

Great Argentinean steak. I had the rib eye (ojo de bifeand it was perfectly cooked. Meat comes with a lot of carbohydrates: rice, fried yucca, and French fries. Try a pisco sour.

One of the best places to eat bistecs and barbecue. Excellent location and great attention.

Food is OK. Supposedly they specialize in grilled meat, but last time I was there mi "Bife Chorizo" was dry and too hard. They offer unlimited salad and fries with fried casava. Those are pretty good, however not to die for. Most taxi drivers know the place so its easy to get there. Price is OK for what you ask, you may even consider it cheap (expect to pay about $25 for your meal).

Was recommended this as the best meat in Santa Cruz. For the price and dinner we were served I feel cheated. Very much overpriced for the quality for the food

Awesome place with great food. We had empanadas and a lomito de cerdo (pork steakfor appetizers and both were excellent. I ordered the bife de chorizo and it was soft and juicy. The sides are always fries, fried yucca, rice and salad. We were three and we spent about $50.00 dollars.

Really delicious. The steaks were perfectly cooked. And the service leaves nothing to be desired. Highly recommended. Very nice Bolivian wine, too.

Best steak in town! Great service. Nice surroundings. Crowded. Good wine list. A must if you´re in town. Don´t forget desserts.

Super dissatisfied on our 3rd trip to El Arriero. Borderline inedible ribs with our meat platter - tough and gristly.Told multiple servers and were given very poor treatment. No responsibility or accountability. After 3rd server (who did the same as first 2 - nothingwe asked for the manager. We could see him in the other room. He would not come out.All of this was in Spanish. We were polite at the start but became increasingly frustrated as time went on.Never again. Shockingly poor ability to deal with customers. Such a shame as our first 2 experiences were great.

Great place for meats, not exactly inexpensive, but service is good and place is nice and clean, recommended.

Amazing filet mignon. Came with a very large salad, French fries, and fried yucca. (I had ordered mashed potatoes, and they gave me a side big enough for 2 or 3 people. It was way too much food for 1 person. The service was amazing and the facility was very clean with a nice, chatty ambiance.

Argentinian beef, best in the world. I had the cuadril cut, which was great. Any other steak pales in comparison
