Going out for a grill platter sounds easy… until it’s time to order. With so many names, cuts, and cooking styles, it’s totally normal to feel unsure about what to ask for or which cut to choose. But don’t worry — you don’t need to be a chef to make the right call. All you need is to trust your cravings and know a few basics.
Every Cut Has Its Own Magic
The secret is knowing a little about the most popular cuts. If you’re into juicy, go with a rib eye — always a safe bet. Prefer something more tender and rich in flavor? Try a short rib. Want something simple but packed with taste? A well-cooked arrachera never disappoints. And if you’re in the mood for something lighter but just as flavorful, zarandeado shrimp is always a good idea.
At La Vicenta, you’ll also find bold options like the tomahawk or the filete al trapo — a gem for those who enjoy meat cooked to perfection. And of course, plenty of other cuts that are best enjoyed straight from the grill to your table.
No-Fail Grill Tip: Share the Good Stuff
If you’re dining with others, sharing is the way to go. That way, everyone gets to try a bit of everything without having to commit to just one choice. A good grill platter includes a mix of cuts, sides, and that smoky touch that tastes even better when shared. Plus, no one ends up jealous of what the person next to them ordered.

Not sure what to get? Look for spots that already have solid combos lined up for you. At La Vicenta, our signature mains and Combo 123 deals are designed to make things easy.

Choosing Right Means Enjoying Without Stress
The most important thing? Pick what you like — no pressure. Ordering meat isn’t a test, it’s an experience. So next time you go out for a grill, relax, trust your cravings, and get ready for a no-regrets kind of meal. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about knowing everything… it’s about enjoying every bite.
