Your group picked a steakhouse, but you don’t eat beef. Before you resign yourself to ordering nothing but fries, here’s some good news: a great grill has plenty of options for you, too.
Can You Go to a Steakhouse If You Don’t Eat Beef?
Of course! A grill knows how to handle everything that goes over the fire, not just cuts of beef. So whether you avoid red meat for dietary reasons, personal preference, or just for today, you can enjoy your meal just like everyone else at the table.
Chicken Options
- Pollo Norteño: For anyone craving that grilled flavor without ordering beef.
- Milanesa de Pollo: A classic, crispy, reliable choice. You can’t go wrong.
- Buffalo Chicken Sandwich: Perfect when you’re craving a sandwich with a spicy kick.
- Alitas Búfalo or Boneless: Great options to share as starters.
Seafood Options
- Salmón a la Plancha: Light, juicy, and full of clean, fresh flavor.
- Camarones Zarandeados: Infused with smoky charcoal flavor, inspired by Mexico’s Pacific Coast.
- Aros de Calamar: Served over jicama, they’re a great way to kick off your meal.
What If You’re Looking for Something Lighter?
Salads are always an option: Iceberg César, Ensalada de la Casa, or La Orgánica. If you’re in the mood for something warm, Sopa de Tortilla is always a good idea. And if pasta is more your thing, there’s Fettuccine Alfredo.
A Tip for the Table
If you’re ordering dishes to share, mix things up: a cut of beef for the meat lovers, some Camarones Zarandeados or wings for everyone else, and starters everyone can enjoy, like Guacamole or Nachos Vicenta. That way, no one goes hungry and nobody has to negotiate.
What About Dessert?
Dessert is for everyone. A Chewy Chenta or Cheesecake New York is the perfect way to end the meal, no matter what everyone ordered.
