Amazing Atmosphere & Delicious Meats! Restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for any occasion. The service is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Highly recommended for meat lovers!

Glad to see this place finally reopened so I had to come back and check it out. Food was still good, though not as good as it used to be before the renovation. Particularly the mushroom sauce that I used to love. The texture and taste weren't the same, more watery and bland this time. Hopefully it will all come back coz I missed this place. Servers were very nice and kept checking on us though.

Wow! Been here many times and never bothered to give it a review. It was closed for a long time for remodeling and just recently reopened. So glad it did! The atmosphere is so nice and the food is outrageously good!! Don't fill up on the bread and chimichuri - leave room for the best provoleta (cheese!) and champignons (mushrooms). My favorite entree is the skirt steak with the mushroom sauce and mashed potatoes. And don't forget dessert!! Love this place don't miss it! They also have an amazing staff that doesn't forget about you and are very attentive.

I am so happy for Lalas reopening!! I had dinner tonight, this place after the remodeling looks modern, cozy, and you will never get disappointed with the food, it's delicious! Makes me feel like in Argentina. The service is great by Alberto at the bar, Michiko and Horacio, they are so kind and friendly. You must stop by this location! I will be back soon!!

Not quite a meat fan. I just walked here, and felt tired, and wanted to have a sun-bath in a spring day when it was still a little bit chilly. Food, drinks both were fine. LALA’S Argentine Grill offers a vibrant fusion of Argentinean, Italian, and Californian cuisines, ensuring there’s something for everyone, including vegetarians. The menu features affordable lunch specials, Happy Hour, and bottomless mimosas every weekend. Special promotions include all-day Happy Hour drinks on Mondays, Buy One Get One Free empanadas on Tuesdays, and 50% off bottles of wine on Wednesdays.  The restaurant has multiple locations in Los Angeles: • Melrose: 7229 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046 • Studio City: 11935 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604 • Downtown LA: 105 W. 9th St, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Each location offers a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great spot to gather with friends and family without breaking the bank.  Diners have praised the restaurant for its generous portions and attentive service. One reviewer mentioned, “Always enjoy my dinners here - they make amazing Mahi Mahi (Popeye version) and their sangria is the best in town.” For those seeking an authentic Argentine dining experience reminiscent of Buenos Aires in Los Angeles, LALA’S Argentine Grill is a must-visit.

Everything sounds delicious! Everything looks delicious! Everything taste delicious! Definitely coming back to try more! Great service. Waiters frequently checked on us and refilled our drinks. Everyone one was super friendly. We went around noon on a Saturday and it was empty. It started getting crowded around 2pm

Simply The Best! La La's is a staple of Los Angeles. The food is always delicious, the skirt steaks are amazing, the service is fantastic and you always feel like a regular. I am so happy that they are open again. It's the perfect spot for a meeting, casual date, lunch or dinner. They are the best!
