All of the dishes are innovative versions of Italian cuisine. I only wish they served enough bread for me to soak up the sauces in each of these wonderful dishes.

Our party of 8 had the most amazing dinner experience at El Alma. Our server Mark was outstanding, the atmosphere was fun and just what a bunch of moms out to dinner free of their kids needed! The drinks were as amazing as ever (highly recommend the Almatini), and the food was incredible. The tacos never disappoint, and I am obsessed with the rice and cheese relleno. Tried the Chuleta de Puerco En Coca-Cola (Coca-Cola sous vide pork chop) and the Camarones A La Plancha (Gulf shrimp in garlic ancho butter) for the first time and OMG... the specialties of the house are absolutely the way to go! To die for. Great evening, great food, great service, shared with great friends- couldn't ask for more! Can't wait to go back soon.
