Lala's Argentine Grill

I LOVE Lala's Argentine Grill! I used to frequent the downtown restaurant and didn't realize it was on the west side until recently!Came here for lunch with a friend and was pleasantly greeted by the staff. The restaurant wasn't busy due to it being a lunch time on a weekday and we were able to pick where we wanted to sit. The restaurant is spacious and has seating outside as well just in case you want to get some fresh air while you eat. Since we were there for lunch, I ordered the chicken with a side of mashed potatoes and salad while my friend got the steak sandwich. Both options were delicious and were huge portions for the price. Everything was so flavorful. If you're looking for a delicious restaurant with great choices, I definitely recommend!

we tried lala's for dinela and while the food was ok, the service was not. our server took our order but we barely saw her after that. one friend ordered the lomo sandwich and fries but it was pretty bland. we asked for salt three times from three different servers before we received some. we had to ask for our last course twice before it arrived. they were accommodating though when i asked to exchange my drink. i ordered a lemonade thinking it would be fresh squeezed but it was minute maid so i exchanged it for a coffee instead.the food itself was decent. the dinela deal was $25 for an appetizer, main, and dessert. i got the spinach and cheese empanada, steak with mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes, and flan. i was satisfied with the meal. i loved the fresh chimmichuri they served with bread too. probably wouldn't go back unless there's another deal or the service has improved...

My Mom and I were patrons of Lala's on Melrose 20+ years ago. We would grab food to go. Parking was nonexistent, so I would go in and she would sit behind the wheel in case she needed to move the car. Yes, it was that serious, because their food was that good.Not having been in ages, I noticed Lala's on a food delivery app. I ordered and man... it is as good today as it was then. I ordered a NY steak, half-rice and half-fries. It came with chimichurri, which is SO delicious, and the softest, freshest sliced French bread. This was my dinner after spending nearly 2-days straight in the hospital with my Mom. (No Lala's for her this time. :-( ) It was such a blessing. It arrived cooked perfectly, still hot, fresh and delicious.I look forward to ordering from Lala's again soon. Thank you for being consistent.

I've been to Argentina and dined at Don Julio, but WOW ! I was duly impressed with the steak at Lala's! I ordered the tabla de Cannes - 3 different steaks - Filet, skirt and NY Strip - all delicious! Started with bread and chimmichurri and beef and chicken empanadas. Lala's steaks are really delicious.

So glad to have Lala's back. They reopened the dining room ahead of schedule but the patio section is still not ready. Everything is brand spanking new and the food was delicious with warm service. Still a great price for a well prepared steak. Bathroom is shiny and new but doesn't smell great already. Could use better ventilation and maybe a urinal puck. No touch water faucet was also scalding hot, so that should be adjusted as well.

Tonight I dined at LaLa's in Melrose. I had received a gift card to it and I was excited to go back since they reopened. Unfortunately I had an unpleasant experience dealing with payment.The cashier was having an issue inputting the gift card. He either didn't know how to do it or there was some other issue but I was patient while he tried to troubleshoot. But when it wasn't working the cashier asked if I had another form of payment. Of course I did because the gift card only covered a portion of it but I asked him if he wasn't going to honor the gift card. He said that he was having an issue and that the person in charge wasn't there and wouldn't be back until tomorrow. I told him that it wasn't my problem and that he needed to call someone to figure it out. It took about 15 or so minutes for him to make whatever call he needed to make and figure it out. I don't mind that I had to wait. I had been patient already but he was rude about it and I didn't appreciate it. He ruined my dining experience and I don't think I will be back to this restaurant.The food was good. The Melrose salad was good, we enjoyed it. The entraña I ordered wasn't cooked to the specification I asked for but it was still good and enjoyed it with the mashed potatoes. The Sangria was delicious. The lava cake was not good. It was not cake at all but some other consistency and it lacked flavor. I would not get again. The server was okay, not terrible but not great either. Overall the experience at this establishment was not very good. This restaurant has lost its charm for me. I used to love this place, sadly I won't be going back. I hope they hire better staff and better management to run this restaurant that was once a great place to dine at.

I'm so thrilled LALA's Argentinian is open again! I missed this amazing spot. I love the empanadas, steak & fries, sangria, and flan!

My family and I are so excited that LALAs is back in this side of town. The place looks cool, modern with a playful ambiance. The food is as delicious as it was or even better. We didn't get to take much pictures as we were enjoying the whole experience : great seating, pan con chimichurri, and of course the red Sangria! , cheers. All the dishes were phenomenal! Want pictures, come and take a bite!!Today, we are experienced desserts, and do leave some room! Delicious

The best Argentenian spot in LA. Tastes traditional and everything was absolutely delicious. Service was very excellent and fast, and the ambiance is so beautiful. Our server was so kind. The empanadas were also amazing!! Can't wait to come back :)

This location is smaller than the studio city location, parking is much easier though. We went for the Dine LA menu which we thought was a steal. It comes with a drink that's refillable; the starters are amazing especially the mushroom skillet; I liked my salmon better than my husband's steak for the entree - steak was quite mediocre to me, lots of fat and cut very thinly. The desserts were very yummy - flan and crepes - but we were superrrr fully by then so we decided to take them to go instead. Our server was pretty attentive joined by his other colleagues. Would def visit again but prob will try other things on the menu.
