" My family and I had dinner at LALA's last week. The service was exceptional; we felt very well-taken care of. I ordered a ribeye, and it was tender and strongly flavored even without extra seasoning. The sides were plentiful, though I found the rice to be a bit underwhelming. The lively atmosphere made it a great place to unwind after a day of exploring downtown. Overall, we had a great meal and will return for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Eating at LALA's was a definite treat! We ordered a selection of appetizers including the provolone cheese, which melted in my mouth. For the main course, the steak was cooked just right, with excellent seasoning—one of the best I've had in LA. Staff was attentive throughout the evening. The only downside was that it got a bit crowded, but it’s a popular spot for a reason. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've always heard great things about LALA's, and my meal there was genuinely lovely! The atmosphere was buzzing, which created a vibrant dining experience. I ordered the skirt steak with rice and my friend had the flan; both our plates were cleaned! The waitstaff were exceptional as well. Quite a gem in DTLA! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic Argentine dining experience, look no further. My girlfriend and I had a romantic dinner at LALA’s, and we savored every bite. The waiter suggested the short rib, which was superb and exceeded expectations. The bolitas de empanadas were a delightful surprise as well. I love that they have a good wine selection that complements the food incredibly well. " (*Curated Review*)

" LALA's is a culinary gem! I visited for lunch and ordered the chicken picante. It was juicy and full of flavor! My friend ordered the steak and she loved it too. Although the wait was a little longer than expected, the quality of the food made up for it. The staff was friendly and helpful, which significantly improved our experience. If you're in the area, don't skip out on this place! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at LALA's was decent, but I expected more authenticity in the flavors. The steak was well-cooked but it lacked that special seasoning that I find in traditional Argentine cuisine. Service was a bit slow, and though the atmosphere was cozy, it felt a bit crowded. I think there are better Argentine places in the city, but I might give it another shot to try something else. " (*Curated Review*)

" Today we had lunch at LALA's, and the grilled chicken was exquisite! It was juicy and full of flavor. The only downside is that the side options seemed limited. However, the service was efficient and attentive, making it a pleasurable experience overall. I'm sharing this with my coworkers and recommending a group lunch there soon! " (*Curated Review*)
