Drawing inspiration from the vibrant culture of the Rio de la Plata region, ALTO celebrates the time-honored culinary customs of Uruguay and Argentina with a contemporary twist.
Our dishes are crafted using traditional open-fire cooking techniques from the Pampas region of South America, complemented by locally sourced ingredients from California's finest family farms.
Uruguay and Argentina were once the same. On opposite sides of the Río de la Plata, both nations had a lot in common.
Namely, the “Pampas”, expansive grassy plains best known for the quality of the soil and in turn the cattle. Although by 1828 Uruguay and Argentina became independent nations, a rich story of joint food traditions, language, and soil would remain intact until today.
