There’s more than one location of these in LA now and we went to the one on Melrose. When it first opened it was the only one we knew of and it was great value with generous portions - that’s changed a bit.
However they are one of the few restaurants that gives you bread and a very good oil and herb sauce with just a little bite to it that’s almost addictive to dip your bread in at the start of the meal.
Menus are only in QR code.
This is not a white table cloth location.
The bar is limited to beer wine and a few specialty drinks like margaritas and Mojito‘s. Service was prompt, efficient and professional.
I did not feel the Plato Mixto was not the value I was looking for. The salad with salmon was excellent.
As a casual family dinner location it was excellent, we had a very nice time and had no problem getting in.

My daughter told us about this place. The staff wore masks, the wait for a table was short, and we were able to sit where there was a lot of fresh air. It was night so they had the overhead heaters on which made my husband smile.
Service was attentive and the menu was available by QR code. The portions were large and my steak practically melted in my mouth. Highly recommended.

Always enjoy my dinners here - they make amazing Mahi Mahi (Popeye version) and their sangria is the best in town (you can order by the pitcher or glass). Whenever I'm in the area (ie seeing Groundlings), I always have dinner here. The Studio City location is just as good, just a little smaller. To note, my absolute favorite is their Provoleta starter. That along with the bread and sauce is amazing.

Thank you Moosh!
If you want to get quick bites before the Groundlings, we also have happy hour until 7pm!
(provoleta is one of our happy menu food items! ;) and of course you can come back again after the show as well!

Absolutely the worst customer service. I ordered they gave the food to an Uber driver and stole the food they refused to make it right leaving the customer high and dry. No customer service not understanding their responsibility. They didn’t care at all I would avoid these people at all cost.

Ordered the Salmon Burger and it was ehhh. Big patty so I did like that for protein but taste was sub par. It didnt really taste like much. The tartar sauce kind of overpowered everything. The Argentinean sauce did not taste like anything either.

The chimichurra is excellent and the bread wonderful. We had empanadas, the shrimp in garlic, and calamari. All were very good. The Pinot Grigio was very good but not served as cold as we liked. Service excellent and prices very reasonable. The only caveat is that this is a very noisy restaurant as one would expect filled with people having a good meal and enjoying one another.

I have eaten here and ordered from them many times.
We've never experienced the ultra poor service we received on Father's day. We ordered an order for delivery at 6:45. By 8pm it hadn't been completed. I called 4 times. The delivery company waited 50 minutes. Once it was delivered, everything was cold and many items were missing. Apparently they ran out and did not offer us another choice. The manager would not come to the phone to resolve it. It seems there was poor planning on the restaurants part and they were grossly unprepared for fathers day. They said they would refund the missing parts. I still haven't seen it returned.

Empanada was not good and did not even close to the Authentic Argentina
We order the mix plate, the beef and chicken were ok, the rest was too greasy
Not very exciting and would not order again.

They have great flat steaks and good wines, in a very comfortable and airy setting. The service is outstanding. No hard liquor.

The first time I ate at Lalas was in 2012 and 7 years later, they haven’t changed. The variety is as remarkable as the flavors. Their portions are very generous. Our server, Micaela, was fantastically friendly, personable, and took such great care of us.
We went for an early dinner and it coincided with their happy hour bites, wine, and beer. The bites were very affordable and the wine at $6 a glass can’t be beat. Our ribeye entrees were so tender and juicy. If you’re looking for an authentic and delicious Argentine restaurant with all Argentine wines, fast and friendly service, and a nice ambience; check out Lala’s! They never disappoint.

I found this place via web, looking for something still open (was last night around 10pm) where to taste good meat.
Once entered I appreciated the nice location. Personnel where very gentle and kind with me. I exposed a potential issue with my debit card, and so we checked in advance that everything was ok, showing a very good attituide. Then when I ordered a glass of Malbec, the server suggested me to consider to take one of better quality with very slightly difference in price. I'm glad I followed his suggestion.
I tried a "bife encebollado" and was so delicious.
Summarizing, I was very satisfied for the location, the service, the food and the wine. Top.
