Lala's Argentine Grill – Studio City
After a good work out in La Fitness Studio City, I decided to take my friend out to dinner for his bday. We went to Lala’s Argentine Grill.
They have two locations: Studio City and West Hollywood.
11935 Ventura Blvd, Studio City CA 91604 818-623-4477
7229 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles CA 90046 323-934-6838

Entrance
One thing for sure about Studio City, parking sucks bad. So will be required to vallet to park in their little area which is only 3 bucks. Once you enter, the place is very dim at night as little candles light up the place.

They start you off with some Bread and Oil.

So we started with some empanadas, they have 4 kinds; Beef, Chicken, Spinach, and Ham & Cheese.

Now for the main stuff. I ordered Entrana al Ajo, which is like the Entrana (grilled certified angus skirt steak) topped with garlic and parsley. My friend ordered the Picante chicken which was ok. Our waitress suggested it for the spicy type, but it wasn’t spicy at all, but more of a cajunish type flavor. It wasn’t bad, but I think my friend was expecting something different. Here are the pics.

As for desert I they had some flan con dulce de leche, panguegue con dulce de leche (crepes), and more. The one I wanted to order was Panqueque de banana con dulce de leche, which is the same as the first but with banana. This stuff is great, but their pet monkey that they adopted last month broke in the place and ate all the bananas. They found this out a little late. And since it was my friends birthday, they hooked us up w/ some flan on the house.

Birthday Flan, that stuff on the top is caramel goodness
So overall it was great, I am so stuffed and would definitely come back to this place. Next time I’m gonna get a full order of Sangria.
