Ive dined at Lala's countless times and loved every experience. Most recently, I had a side of chorizo, skirt steak, and arroz del campo. Everything here is so good, especially the free bread and chimichurri. The ambiance is a relaxed environment. I came during lunch and I saw many people dine alone but also as a group! It was fairly easy to find street parking during lunch but I have also came here for dinner many times and parking was definitely a struggle.

I've brought two out of town friends here and ordered the same thing both times just because the first time was so good that I repeated everything. We got seated in their covered outdoor space which was great because it was covered but allowed me to bring my dog there. It was a nice area minus the pigeons that occasionally flew in. What we got was the Plato Mixto, that was like a sampler of all their meats and two sides. I asked our server what she would recommend as a side and she mentioned the mashed potatoes and salad. My friends and I both thought that having a green of some sort would be beneficial so we went with her suggestions. So, everyone, staff included says their chimichurri is delicious. While it was delicious with the starting bread and chimichurri...No disrespect but I didn't use that much of it after that because their meats were cooked so well that I didn't think I needed it at all. None of the meats were bad BUT I'll say that the skirt steak was just so flipping delicious that it made me wonder why it's overshadowed by NY strip or ribeye. I enjoyed the sweetbreads and my friends who had never heard of it before also agreed that it was tasty-always glad to have people see the magic over offal cuts.

We ordered Lala's via Uber Eats and enjoyed our dinner. The 2 person meal has a good amount of food so I thought it was worth the price. We had the rib-eye & Al Champignon (cream mushroom chicken) - though we ordered delivery, it was delicious & steak was perfectly medium rare!!! Definitely a great option for delivery, I haven't gone in person yet but would actually love to after my experience.

One of my friends is from Argentina and recommended this place to me when I asked where I could try Argentinean food. So glad he turned us onto this place! I went with my boyfriend and we are both big cilantro lovers, so it was hard to keep ourselves from gorging ourselves just on the complimentary bread and chimichurri sauce. We finished it, and then the server asked if we wanted more... Despite our better judgment, we said yes. I would probably not do that in the future because we were a little too full to finish our entrees, but it was very yummy in the moment and I appreciate the server offering us more! We did enjoy the mushroom appetizer that we ordered, particularly the smaller mushrooms toward the bottom had a lovely caramelization. The tortilla de papa was solid, but looking back I wish I had gone for the empanadas or something that I wouldn't be able to easily get elsewhere (though it was a great slice of quiche!). My boyfriend got a chicken dish (having troubles uploading this picture) which he enjoyed and I got the creamy salmon which I also enjoyed. I normally eat salmon with more citrus flavors like lemon, so I was a little apprehensive but wanted to push my boundaries. I thought the salmon tasted great with the cream sauce. The service was a little on the slow side, but it was really full and the fact that they were able to seat us without a reservation makes up for that in my opinion.

Such a cute place! Reminded us of when we traveled to Argentina. The chimichuri was amazing and tasted just like back in Buenos Aires. I wish they had AC but other than that all good!

Came here for lunch and ordering the family meal! Ways worth the money; we were not able to finish it all! It came with 2 sides (we chose salad and fries) and 3 types of steaks! It's well seasoned and to chimichurri sauce take it to the next level! They also sell the bottled chimichurri sauce with three different sizes. We made the sauce at home before, but it's quite a lot of work to make it! With 8 bucks, you can get a decent bottle! I would say it's totally worth it! Service was great! The guy came to check on us often and making sure things were ok!
