LALA'S Argentine Grill - Studio City

My friend Manouschka Guerrier @single_serving, celebrity chef, (she’s amazing!) recommended this restaurant. And let me tell you… we celebrated my husband’s 61st birthday here on January 16th and we had such a great time. The cuts of meat were amazing and tender… my mouth waters remembering… the house Malbec was delicious!!! Overall a great experience. Parking in the area is not recommended, use their valet service!

First time in this place we order a potato carrot soup some empanadas they bring bread and chimichurri really good. For main plate I’ve order chicken mushroom plate with rice and salad and the rice really good flavor and a beef mushroom plate. And 2 mojitos really really good. Definitely coming back again.

TL;DR: Friendly service, lighter flavors, great flan. Parking is limited with Ventura blvd. Solid Argentine option on Ventura. Warm service and a lively, slightly cramped room when full. Bread with mild chimichurri was a nice start. Chicken with mushrooms, salad, and mash was good and the creamy wine sauce really helps. The grilled quarter chicken ran a bit dry and needed sauce. Empanadas were crisp but the filling lacked flavor for me. Passion fruit Soda Bossa was refreshing and the sangria is popular. Flan is the true standout for me. I would probably try their pasta or seafood next time. Pro Tips: • Parking is limited. Add a few minutes. • Ask for extra chimichurri if you want more punch. • Chicken mushroom is a safer pick. • Save room for the flan.

I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a long time, and the service is always excellent. The staff never refuse extra bread or an extra sauce for the chicken. It’s rare to find a place that cares about its customers this much. Highly recommend!

We had never dined at Lala's and decided to give it a try during Dine LA. We are so glad we did! As soon as you enter the space, you know you're in for a treat: the decor, the lighting, the aroma's wafting through the room, buzz and hum of happy diners. As far as the food goes - they had me at the Chimichurri and bread starter! And it got better from there. We had the mushroom skillet appetizer, the house made spinach pappardelle in pink sauce and the NY steak and mashed potatoes. ALL delicious and prepared perfectly. We took advantage of the Wednesday half-off bottles specials and at the end of the meal, our very charming, friendly and professional waiter brought us a delicious flan for dessert. We will be back soon!!
