Bodega Malbec

Outstanding ! I was introduced to Bodega Malbec at a private business event from my company. We were seated at the back patio and my experience was wonderful so I decided to give it a try with my wife. We went during dine LA week and we were seated at the front patio so happy hour was also available. Everything we had was so delicious. We had empanadas, pulpo (octopus), tuna tartar, and a steak option from dine LA. Paired it with some malbec wines....and for dessert.. argentinean panqueques (crepes)... a must..! Prices and quality of food and the variety of wines were way better than most steak houses we have been to. Service was attentive and outstanding. They are now in my favorite restaurants list. I can't wait to go back.... oh and the chimichurri sauce.. the best ..! Definitely a memorable Argentinean experience. We will come back soon ...highly recommended !

Bodega Malbec is more than just a restaurant, it’s a complete culinary experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding and genuinely warm. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food exceeded our expectations in every way. We have been to many restaurants, and we can confidently say that the chef and the menu truly stand out. We felt truly cared for throughout our visit. Special thanks to Martín, the manager, and to Lucas, our server, who provided exceptional service and made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend Bodega Malbec to anyone looking for an excellent dining experience with top-tier service. We will definitely be back.

Had an incredible dinner at Malbec in Toluca Lake tonight! We got the tomahawk steak and it was cooked perfectly. The pasta was also out of this world. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for amazing Argentine food.

Argentina spot with a cozy vibe. Came here for dinner with my parents prior to catching a show at the Colony Theater and made a reservation online in advance. There’s street parking available. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We ordered a few things to split which included the calamari and shrimp, the mollejas, pollo a las hierbas (an extra $2 to make it spicy), and Ojo de Bife. The meat was all fantastic; everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The calamari and shrimp wasn’t too oily, and I liked the different sauces they provided for the Ojo. You can pick your choice of two sides, so we were able to try the mash potatoes, roasted vegetables, sautéed spinach, and roasted potatoes. They were all good but mash potatoes were particularly silken and creamy. For dessert, we split a crema catalana which was not too sweet and had an evenly burnt top. The vibes were cute and it’s a good spot for a small group or couples.

Went here as a group holiday celebration for my work treated by our awesome boss (Hi Megan!) There were around 14 people to order and serve. I have to praise our server Lucas!! I have food allergies, and despite all the orders in our group, he was very attentive, and helpful to accommodate the allergies. The food was delicious, the vibe is great! Thank you Lucas😁👍

Went here for date night during the DineLA menu experience. My wife opted for the $55 pre fixed dine la menu while I opted for their standard menu. Interestingly enough their dine la menu is completely different than their everyday menu. Restaurant is quaint, bar is nice and space is tight. On a Friday night the house was packed to the brim. Only outdoor seating was available. Food was prepped and made with precision. The empanadas were the best. Freshly rolled dough, with delicious beef and spinach and cheese fillings! The chimichurri sauce was fresh. The pork was fall off the bone. The entrana aka skirt steak was cooked perfectly, medium rare and presented nicely with 3 sauces for dipping, with mash potatos and roasted veggies. The scallops were in their shell with a fresh apple salad. Free Parking in the back or on the street. All in all Bodega Malbec is a great place to Dine. I would come back! Very solid Argentinian steak house.

We visited today and had mixed feelings about the experience. The interior of the restaurant is very nice, and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to the atmosphere. The frito mixto appetizer and pollo a las hierbas I ordered was bland and dry, and the sauce was overly acidic. The vegetables, however, did have good flavor and were the highlight of the dish. My wife ordered the ojo de bife ribeye steak, and for $55, it was disappointing. It lacked proper seasoning, and the only standout component of the plate was the mashed potatoes. Overall, the service and environment were great, but the food itself was quite bland and didn’t meet expectations, especially at that price point. I wish ti want to revisit the location but very likely may be a one time experience place.

I was really looking forward to visit this restaurant, and the occasion came with a birthday celebration. We were a party of 5 with booked reservations, 2 of us got the Dine LA menu, 2 got the seafood paella and my nephew got a pasta dish. The restaurant was busy and there seemed to be a shortage of servers, when the food arrived it was missing the entree of the birthday girl! Everyone waited for the 5th dish to arrive.... After waiting more than 10 minutes we had to flag the waitress and bring her to our table, after a look of surprise she apologized and ran back to bring a lukewarm dish. The paella was dry and overcooked, the pasta was bland, the steak was too well done. Maybe it was a bad night but we were all very disappointed. Three stars for the great ambiance and beautifully decorated restaurant.

This has become our favorite place to come for dinner. The food is delicious and always tastes fresh. The ambience is really beautiful and all of the staff are so friendly and lovely. Our server Mauro always makes us feel welcome and like family. He is the best! The steaks are amazing and the salmon as well!!

Bodega Malbec is a cute little Argentinian place in Toluca lake. A group of friends and I went on a Thursday evening, it was raining so street parking was a breeze and there was no wait for a table. We got a few dishes, the queso and papas bravas to start. We shared a chicken dish, pasta dish and had wine with our meal. The best part of the experience was the chimichuri and bread. It was light, citrusy and delicious. If you're not careful, you can easily fill up on it.

A solid place if you're looking to get a glass of wine and catch up with a friend or have a business meeting. A terrible place if you want a good dinner. I don't know how to explain it other than their dishes did not have any flavor. - Pulpo: very tender octopus but it did not have any flavor. The steamed potatoes also did not taste like anything. The aioli was unsurprisingly lacking flavor too. It was very odd to have a dish with so many things going on but no flavor. - Salmon: again, no flavor and overcooked. I ordered the potatoes and vegetables on the side that were flavorless. - Linguini: this one had some flavor but still wasn't anything that would "wow" you. I really wish we had a different experience because Bodega is in our neighborhood but it's one we'll pass up. Nice menu but poor execution.

Excellent lunch spot! I split the ojo de bife with my coworker because it was massive but so delicious. We also started with gazpacho because it was a sweltering day outside (112°F!). The ambiance was great as well. My only recommendation for the server is to be cautious of food allergies - we were told there was no cinnamon in any of the desserts but two of them listed it on the menu. Thankfully we just opted for affogatos so I was safe.

It was our first time dining here and we enjoyed the ambiance and food. The complimentary bread basket was a nice start to the meal. We then got our frito mixto appetizer, as well as skirt steak and salmon entrees. The frito mixto was nicely fried, with thin and crispy breading. The dipping sauces went well with the dish, but I wish we got a lemon to cut some of the richness. The skirt steak was cooked perfectly to a medium rare, but a bit salty. Unfortunately, the salmon was quite overcooked and overly salted as well. Otherwise, a pretty nice meal!

Lovely atmosphere celebrating a 25th birthday with family8 in our party. We will order multiple items, everything looks delicious. First time here, server is attentive, I started with a Chardonnay. Will order to start tarter de salmon con mango & avocado, carpaccio, ribeye and NY strip to share... with side of Hongos provenenzal, garlic mashed potatoes ..bruselas con bacon, salads de repello. I can now say the meal was absolutely fabulous, service was impeccable, it was a lovely birthday celebration!

BEST empanadas in LA!! We literally bought a dozen to take back home because it was literally that good! I can just eat their empanadas with some good glass of Malbec all afternoon. If you're looking for a cozy dining experience, stop by this place even on a weekday! Great for lunch time to enjoy some delicious pasta and end it with affogato. Parking can be tricky but I found street parking in the front of the restaurant. This is a hidden gem near Burbank and I highly recommend! IG: Missfoodaddict

Great ambiance , great food and we had a wonderful time with the family! We are very happy with the service.

New owners are fantastic! Great food, excellent service, and wonderful ambiance--highly recommended. Thank you!

Bodega Malbec is a hidden gem that has left an indelible mark on my taste buds. From start to finish, every aspect of the dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Let's talk about the chimichurri - a revelation of flavors that took the entire meal to a new level. Its perfect balance of herbs and spices was a testament to the culinary expertise at Bodega Malbec. It paired seamlessly with every dish and left me craving more. Now, onto the everything else - simply put, it was amazing. From appetizers to desserts, each dish showcased a mastery of flavors and a commitment to quality ingredients. The menu offered a delightful journey through Argentine cuisine, and every bite was a testament to the chef's skill and passion. If you're a fan of exquisite Argentinian cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere, Bodega Malbec is a must-visit!

A BIG apology - I recently in my haste confused this restaurant with another regarding reservations - Please excuse my review of 3 hours ago...... Nic

I went here because i won a gift certificate and I'm so glad i did! I also went during dine LA, so ofc i had to get that! The place was really lovely, had a good vibe. Also our server was so nice! Very attentive! This is what we got: We got an add on of the empanadas and they were super tasty. Good filling with a solid, flakey crust. We all got the scallop appetizer, which was fresh and came with an amazing sauce. Someone in our party got the burrata that they loved. I got the lamb shank which was super super flavorful, tender and delicious! It came with potatoes and broccolini! Someone in our party got the seafood fetuchines which was rich, and absolutely delicious. It was my favorite dish! Two people got the steak which was super tender and that sauce was to die for!!! It also came with dessert, i got the roasted Malbec pears with ice cream, and everyone else got the crepes and both were great but the crepes are a definite must try! Very delicious

I drove from Venice - hostess offered bar or outside - I said I prefer inside and she said 15minutes - I waited 20 and then ask the host because I could see empty tables and the hostess had left about being seated - he offered the bar or outside - I told him I reserved for inside 20 mins ago because I prefer to sit inside - Oh she made a mistake- the inside table phone reservations come first - Oh! she's dumb? Because she looked at the reservations - this is the little game playing when friends of management show up without reservations- N they bump us - see ya at Rossoblu or Bestia where the reservations are orderly .....,.,,

Bodega Malbec is an Argentinian bistro in Toluca Lake. It was time to check out another restaurant from the 2023 Fall Dine LA list. There is seating outside as well as inside, with well appointed tables, cloth napkins and pleasant background music. The inside has a relaxing ambiance and I was ready for my first course, the Cebiche de Pescado. A Peruvian style diced mahi-mahi, with ahi amarillo, leche de tigre, soft giant corn, toasted Peruvian corn, sweet potatoes (didn't see this) and thin red onions. This dish was the best part of the meal. The second course, the Brazino Grillado, was not grilled, and did not taste like sea bass. The fish, together with its topped champagne-dill citric sauce was dry. Both the accompanying sautéed broccolini and arborio saffron rice was prepared well. The third and final course was dessert and I chose the Cannoli con Dulce de Leche y Nueces (home made puff pastry dough filled with dulce de leche cream, roasted walnuts and served with Chantilly cream and vanilla ice cream. The ice crem was my favorite part, The cannoli was tough and its filling too sweet. Service was friendly and excellent.

A fantastic dining experience! The service was impeccable, the food was delicious, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for an authentic Argentine experience. Will be back! Had the rib rye and was as good as the ones I have had in Argentina.

One of the best steaks I've ever hard. Very lightly seasoned but very full of flavor. I usually get medium rare but my beau wanted it cooked medium - and it was still very juicy and not tough at all. Would HIGHLY recommend the Vacio de Novillo if it's still a special! I'm sure alot of their dishes rival the steak I had... but I would say if you want a good steak, this is the place to go. Had the fried calamari, mushroom, shrimp appetizer and though it wasn't lightly fried it was definitely delicious. Good service, the waiter and co-pilot were both very friendly and made my boyfriend smile (which isn't easy). Clean place, lovely atmosphere. Great for a date night or a little shindig. Only bummer is the dessert and coffee wasn't very good. So I would just come here for all the savories and not the sweets!

My first meal at Bodega Malbec was delicious and memorable. I had a skirt steak with sautéed spinach and fingerling potatoes ($43). The steak was cooked properly to medium rare per my request, more like a "charred rare," as the outside was a little crispy and salty and the inside, moist and juicy. Hit with Chimichuri, this was a terrific meal and one I have found myself thinking about numerous times since... Sides of sautéed spinach and fingerling potatoes were healthy and complimentary to the meal. I took my waiter's advice on these potatoes over the mashed and I think next time I'd do the mashed, which could be used to sop up some of the steak's flavorful juices. The potatoes were pretty good and the spinach was fine, maybe could use a little garlic or butter or seasoning... It should be mentioned that Bodega Malbec has a nicely curated and reasonably priced wine list. My by the glass wine selection was some 2015 Malbec ($14) that was really nice, not too smokey, complimented it all perfectly too. The owner of this restaurant, a nice young man named Javier hailing from Argentina himself, was there at the homey restaurant and available to talk. He is friendly and rightfully proud of this fine restaurant he's managed to keep going through Covid. Service by Carlos, I believe his name was, was also impeccable. With tax and tip of 20% my meal came to just under $75... Bodega Malbec is a real find in the Toluca Lake area! Food 10/10 Sides 9/10 Wine 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambience 8/10 - I hate fake candles, lol! Overall Experience 9/10 Overall Value 8/10 - food is really good but not a cheap meal ** they were out of the pears soaked in port I wanted for dessert and the only other dessert offered did not strike my fancy on this evening... they could use a few more options than just the two offered.

My friends took me here to celebrate my birthday and it was such a great choice. Be aware that it's street parking here so you'll just have to drive around to find a spot. My friends made reservations beforehand so they had a table ready for us on a Friday night. Once we got seated, our waiter came to introduce himself and took our drinks order. We started off with the empanadas and got 2 orders so we can try all the different option. Our favorite was the meat empanadas because of the taste, the chicken had a more sweeter taste but it was good as well. The ham & chesse was fine but we didn't like the spinach one. They also give complimentary bread for the table as well. For our entrée, we all got the 16oz NY Steak at medium rare and it was delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare, it was seasoned perfectly and very tender. I got regular fries for my side, my friends got parsley fries and mashed potatoes. My fries were crispy and my friends enjoyed their sides as well. We finish the night with a ice cream in a cup for me to celebrate my birthday. My score: Food: 5 star, you cannot go wrong with the NY steak here. It was amazing and I would recommend the beef empanadas. Service: 5 star, our server was attentive to our table and he was polite. Parking: 4.5 star, it's basically street parking here so you just have to drive around to find a open spot. Atmosphere: 5 star, the restrauant is nice inside. It's not a big restrauant but it works for them.

We had a great time the food was also pretty tasty.. wine was excellent but the romantic ambience was Superb! 5Star for the Customer service

Well, we decided to give this local Argentinian restaurant a shot. I've had other Argentinian cuisines before and this one is right around the corner so we thought we'd try it to support local small business. The menu has a wide variety of Argentinian favorites, and by just looking at the menu, I was excited. I was very very disappointed by the food and the amount of oil there was in the sides and appetizers We started with the calamari appetizer as well as the empanadas. Beef and spinach. The beef empanadas were very good flavor wise but oil was dripping everywhere. The spinach cheese was very watery. We also ordered the entraña steak, which is a must at any Argentinian restaurant, and it came with yucca and creamed spinach. We also got papas bravas and mushroom as extra sides The food was a 1 especially for a $50 skirt steak. The steak got cold within 5 minutes of being on the table. It was chewy and a lot of fat strings. The sides were very oily. The yucca had zero flavor even though it came with some type of sauce. Creamed spinach was bland and truly should be taken off the menu. The chimichurri has way more oil than garlic and parsley and that is one thing that should be really good but it definitely needs work I gave it a 3 because it wasn't a horrible experience as the staff was very nice even though our waiter was very slow to get to us in that small little restaurant. To be fair, it looked like a busy weeknight so hence my rating and ease of judgement lol Another plus is that they have Quilmes, which is a delicious Argentinian beer. Overall, for the price you pay versus quality, I would not go back because my stomach is no bueno from all that oily food ‍

Fantastic place! We were craving Argentinian steak and just happen to come across here. It seemed small at first but the semi-outdoor area in the back is large. The service was great and our food came quickly. We ordered the sweet bread and a sirloin. Delicious! The sweet bread also came with a salad and salsa which is nice to counteract the super rich meat. The chimichurri sauce was the highlight; I couldn't stop eating!

My first time at Bodega Malbec was perfect, the entraña was cooked to perfection and all the sides were very tasty. Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience on my second visit. The entraña was not cooked as well and the ribeye was chewy and lacked seasoning. The side order of yucca was hard and tough, almost like it was sitting under a heat lamp for too long. The service was standard, not on par with other restaurants in this category. I know consistent quality is not easy, but this was enough for me to not want to return.

This is my third DineLA venture this week, which had no crowds and a beautiful noon time day. The food is Argentine style and a quaint atmosphere filled with music and rustic environment. The 3-course meal was delicious, beginning with an appetizer of empanada and salad truly sharable with your partner. The main course included short ribs and Branzino which seemed to be dinner size and filling. Lastly, desserts included flan and cannoli which so soothing after a nice lunch. The atmosphere was especially interesting, as some patrons were from the film industry and discussing the writer's strike and work conditions. It seems Riverside Drive is the Sunset Boulevard of the Valley...

The food was very fresh and tasty. Service was very attentive and kind as we were first-timers. Chris's information about the different dishes showed he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Chris also recommended a great dessert.

I've lived in the area for a few years now and didn't try this place until the other night. Turns out I wasn't missing out on anything. I highly recommend you SKIP this restaurant and go somewhere else for your meal. The place itself is a good size, with patio dining and a cute cozy ambiance. It's a good local date spot if you want bland mediocre food and service. It seems that they had one waiter running around serving ALL the tables and bar tending. The waiter himself wasn't too personable and was in a constant rush. He wouldn't check in with us and each time we needed him we had to flag him down. Another man, I assume is the owner or manager, was walking around but not doing much. I asked him twice for something after it took the waiter a long time but asking the owner didn't expedite or improve service. It was actually my husband's birthday and we didn't feel special or enjoy the dinner. Now the food. At first glance, the menu does look good with a lot of yummy options. Now ordering it is a different situation. Two of the appetizers my husband tried to order they didn't have "today" which is weird. Why is it on the menu if you're not offering it regularly? We ordered a few other things instead. The classic Argentinian steak was very salty. Not worth the price they sell it at! Expensive and chewy - not what I'd expect for that steak. The potatoes were oily, the side of spinach was painfully bland and the empanadas were very oily. We both felt extremely bad at night and the next day. Safe to say our bodies didn't enjoy the food either! Truly don't know how they have 4 stars or have remained open. In the area there aren't many options, which is why I assume people still come to dine here. Regardless, I'd make the effort to drive a little and go somewhere you're actually going to enjoy your meal!!

Two stars because every time I've come here the people working there always have a great attitude, super friendly and very helpful. Their meats always have great flavor. So those would get them five stars. This review is from a to go order I recently experienced. I ordered the Entraña A La Parrilla with roasted vegetables and grilled asparagus. I also ordered the chocolate mousse. Per the menu, the steak was supposed to be 10oz, instead I returned home with a 7oz steak. I know that meat cooks down, but I've never seen a steak, especially this cut, cook down 3oz. I ordered the steak med. rare, but it wasn't one piece, it was two separate pieces, and the smaller one was well done. Though, its possible that it kept cooking in the container? We picked this particular steak for our order because we were going to split it between two people, thinking 4-5oz per person would be perfect. The veggies were overcooked, but again, could have kept cooking in the container. The sliced baguette was as hard as a dog biscuit, so inedible. I give the mousse a 5/10, because I didn't think it had much flavor, but if you like chocolate, its worth trying for yourself. All around a very disappointing experience, which I've never experienced when eating there in person. My recommendation is to not order to go from here.

First off let me sincerely thank the owner, Javier! I called him a few weeks prior to our friends coming into visit from another state and spoke to him on the phone. He was very nice and informative about the option of dishes at his restaurant. After we picked up our friends from the Burbank airport we took them directly to lunch and had a fantastic lunch with flavorful foods along with exceptional service! We look forward to returning to enjoy a nice dinner some evening very soon. It looks like it would be a beautiful place at night when the candles are lit and the low lighting. Thank you Javier from us all!! Carla, David, Ann & Tony

I always love coming here! I almost always get the sole and it's wonderful, the spinach and potatoes are a great addition. The service is friendly and quick, and the general atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable. I've also planned company dinners and they're always a hit. Will definitely continue coming.

I went on a weeknight and they weren't very busy. It was warm outside sobi sat on the patio. The service was excellent, and the dinner I had was amazing. I'll be returning soon and often

This was one of our go to spots until the pandemic and then we went back and it was just horrible! This evening we decided to give it another chance and I am sorry we did. Not only was our food horrible but so was the service. We must not be the only ones because there was only one other couple there. It's really sad because we used to love this place!

I love this place for Argentinian food ! We ordered the spinach salad with bacon and grilled mushrooms. Very light and refreshing. The grilled octopus was so tender with the right amount of smokiness . The skirt steak was amazing! Flavorful and tender , cooked perfectly medium rare served with grilled veggies. I would definitely come back !

Hidden gem in Toluca Lake. Intimate setting inside and outdoors in the back patio. High quality all natural meats, no artificial ingredients and no added hormones. Parking: Street parking on Riverside on nearby subdivisions or behind buildings. Customer service: Average - Friendly but not an experience where their staff goes above and beyond. Food: Table De Chorizos + Table Mixta with ojo de bife and bife de chorizo All were amazing minus the blood sausage lol

I am so happy with everything: the food, service, and ambiance. Everything was absolutely delicious. Even the water, plain salted fries, and homemade whip cream that garnished my plate of coconut flan. I ordered a bolonesa, vegetarian canelones, fries, coconut flan, lemonade, and a glass of Rose. The water and bread were complimentary. As I dined with a very kinetic toddler, I felt very welcomed and supported. I thoroughly and thoughtfully enjoyed every little thing that crossed my palette, including the water, fries and homemade whip cream. This place cared about the smallest detail of my experience. It has been noticed and appreciated.

The food was soooo yummy!!! Compliments to the chefs! The staff is so warm, welcoming & attentive. The ambiance is amazing! Highly recommend. Will definitely return for more. The cherry on top was the coconut flan.

This place made it happen on a SLAMMED Valentines Day. Phenomenal steak, our server was such a sweetheart and was putting in 110% tonight (bald, in the back room-im so sorry I didn't catch the name). You guys did the very best tonight and the line out the door is a testament to how delicious your food is! Cannot wait to be back!! :)

Had a meal with my boyfriend and friends at Bodega Malbec, and man, it was good! The place feels warm and welcoming, kinda like eating at a friend's house if your friend was a really good cook. The steak, especially the ribeye, was amazing - so tender and tasty. They put this green sauce on it, chimichurri I think, and it just made everything pop. The folks working there were super helpful, pointing me to this Malbec wine that was just right with the steak. Top-notch stuff. Definitely heading back to Bodega Malbec when I can. Worth a visit for sure!

Fantastic as always. Food and service is spectacular. I love the steaks and wine. Can't go wrong with this menu and ambience.

Nice restaurant. Very clean place. All organized. Hostess, waitress and busboys were very hospitable. The churrasco was made to perfection; sautéed spinach and mashed potatoes were so moist and delicious; the tabla of chorizos was so good: we had the morcillas and chorizos. It was all well-port portioned, it was filling without feeling "sleepy" after a meal. Convenience: it was only a 5 mins away from home, it's great to know that this gem was so close to home.

I was a solo diner on a business trip, and was warmly greeted and offered a seat at the bar in between a number of other couples, who were deep in their own conversations. The weight staff was very worn and friendly and very knowledgeable and professional too I never ended up chatting with anyone else at the bar even though it's a bar which is OK Yeah, I still had a good time. There's plenty to look at as far as the decor on the walls and watching the staff do their work and seeing other dishes go out. I had a couple glasses of wine, a salad, and a steak, which was more interesting than it sounds like because of the way they do their food there. I've told a few friends about it and I hope to go back even though I don't live anywhere nearby Kudos to this establishment.

Service was excellent and the food was well seasoned, always topped our water and constantly cleaned our table for an unobtrusive dining experience. However the special we ordered, one steak was soft and delicious and the other was tough and chewy. The waiter tried his best to keep us happy and offered a free dessert to apologize for the overly chewy steak. 4 stars only for the great fantastic service. Other than that, we will try again. Maybe we will stick to the traditions like their ribeye.

Dined here last month to celebrate Father's Day. This was my second visit at this place. First time wasn't great as their chimichuri skirt steak was extremely tough and I didn't really care for their chimichuri sauce. This time ordered different cuts of steak in family style to share with the family and they were amazing! This is my favorite place for steaks now. All the other dishes and sides were great too. Service, ambiance and portion size are good and they have parking in the back of the building.

Very delicious and really good service. I'll definitely recommend this place. Perfect to finish the day with a glass of wine (:

We ordered a range of plates for DineLA. Food was good, flavors could be better. For example, the Seafood octopus and shrimp app needed a bit of salt to balance out the earthiness of the squid ink toast. The dish looked enticing however. The pasta with mushrooms was very good. I didn't have the filet so I don't know how that was. The desserts were good. Had an issue with hygiene on the plates-some rims were not as clean expected. Service however was excellent. I will come back and try other dishes. End of Yelp.

I went there with my girlfriend for the dine la special for dinner. We got the octopus and shrimp appetizer and the buratta. The shrimp and octopus appetizer was on some bread soaked I think with steak juices, but I'm not sure. But this appetizer was spectacular. The buratta was so so. Maybe if you are a buratta fanatic you might really like it but otherwise no big deal. For the main dish, we got the steak and the the pasta. gF wanted it cooked rare which I am not a big fan, but hey. My pasta was pretty good. The desserts were alright. Service was top notch. Overall a solid restaurant.

Came here with a group of 7-8 people on Friday, 6/18/21, and had a great time. Located on Riverside Dr, in the heart of Toluca Lake, Bodega Malbec Argentinean Grill is a pretty cool spot. It was my first time dining at this restaurant, and while I had been inside once before, I had no idea they had a back patio. That's where we ended up getting seated, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. With a menu full of great options, it was a little difficult to choose what to order. My friend and I decided to split the Tabla Mixta, with Bife de Chorizo ($35.95) and Entrana Parrilla ($26.95). Both items were delicious, though I strongly preferred the Bife de Chorizo. I would definitely order this item again, and highly recommend it to others. To drink, I had a couple IPAs and a glass of red wine. If looking for some good Argentinean food, Bodega Malbec figures to be a great option in the area. This is a cuisine that I don't eat often, so I am by no means an expert on it. That said, I really enjoyed my meal here. Aside from the food, service was very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The ambience is nice, and prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. Go ahead and give this place a try!

The food was amazing. The service was fast and the beer was excellent. The ambient was romantic. Perfect to take your girl out to eat and have a nice conversation.

Found this place for a last minute dinner with friends. And this was a major yes from me! Parking can be a little tricky as there were many cars parked on the street. Not sure if they had parking around back but we made it work! Ambience is classy with a casual vibe. Every employee was so welcoming and super tentative! It felt all the tables around us were family and regulars to the employees and that is an amazing atmosphere to be radiating in. Food was delicious! We ordered a little of everything and rightfully so! Everything was packed with so much flavor and it made me want to come back wind try everything on the menu! Thank you for such amazing meal

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. The service was also great. We came here for a business luncheon and we had a wonderful time. Will definitely be back.

Food is excellent. Service is great. Ambience is beyond belief. The place is an experience that you cannot miss while in LA!
