From accommodating us when we had an extra person join our four top, to our server playing along with our “sorry we’re out of margaritas” joke with a late arrival, to the frozen margaritas, to the sauce swap request, we had a great time at El Alma South. I hadn’t been to this location, and hadn’t been to El Alma at all, in a few years. The food was good, the drinks were good, and the service was great. We’ll be back!

Absolutely fantastic experience! I went with two close friends to celebrate our birthdays and they really went out of their way to make it special for us! The food, drinks, and service were outstanding. The meal was well paced and I enjoyed all the food, but standouts for me were the fish is in a carrot butter sauce, empanada, wagyu larb and the bread with corn butter. Also do not sleep on the dessert, we got all 3 and I am so happy we did.
