LALA'S Argentine Grill

Located on bustling Melrose Avenue in the heart of Los Angeles, LALA'S Argentine Grill brings the bold flavors of Argentina to the West Coast with a lively, modern twist. The restaurant’s interior blends rustic wooden tables, exposed brick, and vibrant Argentine artwork, creating a warm atmosphere that feels both casual and festive. Chef Diego leads a kitchen that serves classic asado‑style grilled steak, tender bife de chorizo brushed with house‑made chimichurri, and flaky empanadas stuffed with beef, chicken, or spinach‑ricotta for vegetarians. Signature dishes also include provoleta melted with oregano, milanesa de pollo served with a citrus salad, and a creamy papas fritas topped with truffle oil. Lunch specials feature a three‑course menu at an affordable price, while the nightly happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. offers half‑price drinks and bottomless mimosas on weekends. The bar showcases Argentine wines, craft cocktails, and a selection of local Californian beers. Outside, a small patio provides street‑level seating where passersby can enjoy the aroma of the grill. LALA'S also caters to office lunches, film crews, and private parties, delivering the same authentic flavors to any venue. The restaurant is open daily, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday until midnight, and is closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Whether you’re a fan of hearty meat dishes, seeking vegetarian Argentine options, or simply looking for a vibrant spot to watch a soccer match, LALA'S Argentine Grill on Melrose offers a memorable dining experience that captures the spirit of Buenos Aires in LA.
