My husband and I went to dinner on 08/29/2023 on the occasion of our Marriage Anniversary and because of the recommendation we had of being an excellent steak restaurant in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. Since we arrived we were received with great cordiality and they invited us a few glasses of cava with fruits to toast. Delicious food, top-notch meats, in a spacious place and with plenty of very attentive staff. Mr. Edson attended us yesterday. We left El Arriero so satisfied that today, Wednesday, 08/30/2023, we returned to the censr and were treated first class by Mr. Alexis, whom we thank for his recommendation of the cuts of meat and for his careful attention. I highly recommend this Restaurant!!!

I was in Bolivia for a couple of days for business from Panama. We were there for 3 days, and we had lunch and dinner two of those days in El Arriero. Suffice to say, we loved it. The staff was very friendly and helpful, my personal favorite was the cuadril and mojito de achachairu my collegue ate the tomahawk and raged about it. I would recommend making a reservation as it is full most days and usually have to wait for a table if you don't. At least the days we were there. However, the staff was very friendly and was able to find us a table in less than 15 minutes.

My wife and I heard about this place through a tour guide. He had said that if we wanted the best steaks to celebrate our anniversary in Santa Cruz, that we had to have dinner at El Arriero. He was not wrong. We had fantastic service and mind blowing food. We loved it so much we ended up going more than once during our trip. We had the Matahambre de puerco, the ribeye, colita de res, and the milanesa, and more. Everything from the bread and salad to dessert was incredible. As an added bonus, they even have yummy cocktails. Definitely recommend and will be back.

This place was highly recommended to me and it is always packed so expectations were high, however I was disappointed. The first time they did not have all the cuts of their menu available. The second time I decided to try it, I think they get saturated with so many people. Side dishes are limited and the bread was made to stone, the messy salad looked recycled and when I ordered avocado they charged me extra for a quarter of avocado. Prices are competitive but the highest of restaurants in the area. The meat was ok, nothing out of this world and the service was slow, they gave me the lemonade hot and I had to ask for additional ice. Having other options I do not recommend it.

The service was incredible although it takes the bar to get the drinks in a timely manner. We ordered skirt steak that was very good, short rib and rib eye that were so so. The sausage was very tasty. The appetizers (veal carpaccio and mix salad were very good). The affogato and apple pie were both mediocre.

We arrived fairly late in the evening without a reservation, after a last minute decision to walk over for dinner. We were still able to get a table even though they were very busy. We had a green salad and the provolone with tomatoes for starters. Both were good, and I loved the melted cheese and tomato combo. We both order ribeyes, mine medium rare and hers well done, and they came with multiple sides. Mine was the best steak that I’ve had in quite sometime, and the other one that I had during my visit here didn’t even compare. I had some of the well done steak too, it was still very good, even though I consider that a sin against beef. We had the lemon pie and flan with sweetened condensed milk drizzle for dessert, and both were very good also. This visit was first class from arrival until departure, excellent service and food. You will not regret dining at this establishment.

I love El Arriero and visit the restaurant at least once every time I travel to Santa Cruz, two weeks ago I was there 3 times in one week and the place did not disappoint at all. There is a great selection of wines and cuts of beef. I usually get the ribeye, which is served with rice, fries and yuca. Simply wonderful.

Highly recommend it! They took all the necessary precautions for the pandemic. As soon as you walk in they check your temperature, give you hand sanitizer. All the tables were spaced out. They had hand sanitizer bottles on the table and they also gave you an envelope for your mask. They had touch free menus- you scan your phone. Everything we ordered was delicious. I shared the filet stake ( pictured is just my portion as you can see they were huge). For the table we got salad, French fries, yuka, and rice. For dessert we ordered everything to try. My personal favorite was the Maracuya one but everyone else loved the torta helanda( ice cream cake).

This is by far the best steakhouse we visited in Bolivia, might even be the best restaurant. 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 on our trip, 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

I was so well taken care of by Miguel and his colleagues. I chose the ribs and I was so happy with them. I was able to re-grill them whenever I wanted. As I'm a slow eater it was perfect for me to be able to grill them during the evening as they otherwise get cold. The restaurant is so cozy and the music set the perfect ambiance. Best grill houses in Santa Cruz for sure!

After a long trip and without lunch, a good dinner was needed. The varied bread basket and sauces make the wait better. I chose a grilled paiche fish that was super tasty and exquisite... great choice and discovery! Very well accompanied with green salad, rice and yucca/fries. I only ate yuca, which was exquisite and is not usually in my diet. We closed the dinner with the frozen cake with dulce de leche... homemade recipe. Excellent attention from all the waiters!

Bolivian meat is the best, and El Arriero is the best place to get it. Fortunately this day it was not very crowded, so we got some really nice seats outside on a not-too-hot day in April. Got a fantastic T-bone, which was prepared to perfection (medium rare). Staff was super serviceminded and available all the time. Just love this place and need to go here at least once, every time I visit Santa Cruz.

Juan Carlos y Vanessa both were excellent host. They directed our choices to the best wine de Argentina, Rojo, salad with guacamol, and the Best Ribeye we have ever had. This place rocks and the staff is the best.

The best “churrasco” I’ve ever had. Highly, recommend the Colita de Cuadril! And for vegan options they have the Filet de Coliflor, which was outstanding. Also their deserts are highly recommended. Make sure to ask for Vanessa, lovely.
