Las Vacas

A great place to go for steaks and burgers. It’s all about the steak here at Las Vacas. The price is alright, not toooooo expensive. Food here is good, well seasoned and they will cook your steak properly for you so don’t worry on chewing down a dried piece of steak like chewing on rubber.
I love having their Ox Tongue, if you’re a fan of it you gotta try it and as well as their Roast Beef. The Roast Beef is only available on Sundays if you’re planning to try it. They serve salads as well for those who are not so much of a fan of steaks and ribs.
Parking here is really bad and Las Vacas can be packed at times so you might have to wait for awhile to get a table.

Best steakhouse in town for me! I’m a lover of meat and I’ve only been here once to know it’s the best place to go get super tender tasty steaks!
I’ve only really tried eating the beef steak, which you have to order in size which is better for tiny people like me! My past time used to be going around town looking for the best steak houses and Las Carretas used to be the best for me in terms of taste but after Las Vacas came along. Say goodbye to Las Carretas! The one I went to was in Mont Kiara along the same row as Coffee Bean and 1Mont Kiara Mall. In terms of Ambience, it was normal nothing special but the taste is excellent!

Apart from Jake’s Charbroil Grill, Las Vacas has recently made into my «steak-​list». I like the concept of Las Vacas — from blade to the flame and to your plate. Las Vacas is more of a butchery concept then a proper dining place that you’ll go to, so you’ll actually get to choose the cut of meat you want. You can choose to cook your meat at home, or choose a cut and let the chef prepare the meal for you.
I did not have to think twice and went straight for my Tenderloin done medium well. The standard cuts are 280gm, though you can actually choose custom cuts from their butchery. My steak was perfectly done — nice hint of dark red in the middle, and the outside was charred nicely. If you are not a steak person, then you should really try their lamb burger — the lamb patty was juicy and gamey. Though Joe thought the burger to be a tad too salty, but it was just fine for me.
The pricing were quite reasonable. My tenderloin was calling for RM23/​100gm, and the lamb burger was RM25 (250gm). Giving the quality of food being served at Las Vacas, I would say the money was well spent.

Las Vacas is perhaps one of the more famous Western restaurants in Mont Kiara, and is the go-​to place when you are clueless about as to where to eat during dinner time.
If you love to eat a slab of carpet, that is.
Las Vacas’ notion of food is freshness, as you can choose your cut for your steak, and you can have a bang for your buck; the steaks and most of the meat-​related dishes are usually cheaper and much more affordable than most restaurants. Freshness may be assured a few years ago, but today, as I cut my slice of rib-​eye steak and put it into my mouth, a volatile feeling of repulsion entered my mind. A few seconds later, I spat out the food, and did not touch the plate ever since.
I have eaten in Las Vacas on multiple occasions, and it is usually a hit-​or-​miss in this particular gem. Sometimes, the perfectly sizzled steak, from the oozy bloody rare to the very hard fully cooked, is a perfect slab of meat, and is well deserved for its praise and acclaim. However, the steak is, and most of the time is, undercooked, overcooked or even put on the plate with little to no seasoning, and not even a rub of salt. Perhaps the chef has priorities on feeding his overconfidence in his cooking skills rather than trusting in the seasoning. Not to say this restaurant is bad though; there are just simply other better choices to eat steaks at other restaurants than this one.
