An absolute hidden gem. I stopped by for coffee but couldn't resist having a taste of some Argentine food. Alex's hospitality made it hard to say no as well. I came at a slow time I think. Restaurant only had a few guests. Quiet ambiance with chill music playing. First off, the menu was one of the coolest menus I've ever seen. A lot of food options that's all made in house. Steak and beef all shipped from Argentina. The coffee wasn't too sweet so I enjoyed it. The empanadas were DELICIOUS. Listed at $5.50 each. The caprese was out of this world, mixed with the chimichurri sauce. If I lived closer I'd be here weekly trying new items. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. They also have chess, piano, and tango nights! Parking is the only downside but I got lucky and got a spot in the front. read more

I've only recently visited this place, but I've already been here two times. Both my experiences have been amazing, but vastly different. My first night/ visit: I came on a casual evening and sat at the bar. I ordered a variety of empanadas and a glass of Malbec. Finished with the chocolate banana dessert. The decor here is wonderful with a great spatial sense. If la vie bohème were a physical space. The people were warm and friendly and even met and struck up conversation with a fellow patron that was friends with the owners. A place I feel like the artists in 1920 Paris would hang out in, haha. My second visit: it was during an Argentina game watch during World Cup '26 (6/27 vs Jordan). Fugazzettas, choripans, and Maradona beer koozies! This felt like going to a close knit Argentinian community block party. The passion for their national team and the sense of community. I just loved the energy. I also really enjoyed my slice of fugazzetta while sipping down some Quilmes in my new Maradona beer koozie. With a chants and the cheering when Messi scored, I felt like I was experiencing a special 'soccer cultural event'. The rest of their menu looks quite amazing. And everything is reasonably priced as well. I've been recommending it to friends and I can't wait to come back to try some other entrées. read more

This review is based on the empanadas ordered fresh to go. My husband was taking a stroll in the area with the kiddo and decided to stop by and pick up some empanadas. He got the 6 pack of ham, mushroom and spinach, and onion and cheese. They were really tasty and came with chimichurri. I tried the spinach/mushroom with the chimi, the crust was fresh and the mushroom and spinach filling was full of flavor. I am totally looking forward to dining in. I managed to snap a picture before they were devoured l, not the best shot but I'll make sure to take better ones when we dine in. read more

As someone who isn't really into bar culture, I appreciated that this felt like a bar with culture. The beef is sourced from Argentina, and you can absolutely taste the quality. I had the chance to meet one of the owners, Max, who was incredibly friendly and welcoming; that personal touch really added to the experience. I had such a great experience here! The vibe was on point: aesthetically pleasing, good energy, and a great place to meet people. Already looking forward to coming back for more of the beef empanadas and beef milanesa sandwiches again. 10/10! Thank me later y'all! read more

I had high hopes for this newly opened, quirky Argentinian spot. Argentinians are masters of grilled beef, and chimichurri, so my expectations were high. 5/5 = outside skirt steak + beef empanada + chimichurri + frozen raspberry The steak was tender with just a touch of chew. Outside skirt is a richer cut, and the bright, tangy chimichurri perfectly balances the intense beefy flavor and fat. The beef empanada was excellent, saucy, smooth filling wrapped in a flaky shell. Frozen raspberries are a fun treat. Wrapped in a chocolate shell and mixed with bits of ice cream, the berries still manage to let their unique flavor shine through. It's a layered yet cohesive experience, refreshing, balanced, and genuinely enjoyable. I loved their shrimp too, but my experience with the fries and bread made me question how fresh they were (even though the shrimp tasted good). 0/5 fries and bread. The fries were extremely stale, honestly tasted like frozen fries reheated at home. The bread was worse. One piece wasn't even properly heated. The outside was lukewarm, while the inside was rock-hard and ice cold. I did enjoy the quiet and eccentric dining room. And service is pretty attentive. However, I don't think it's worth a 30 min drive to visit. Maybe I'd consider pack many empanada to go though read more

Typically, you find unique dining experiences like this one in DTLA, but this one happens to be in the heart of South Central. I stumbled upon this diamond while avoiding the long line at Paseo San Miguel. I visited on a Sunday late afternoon, so there was no wait and no hard time finding parking. At first glance, it looked like two different joints, but they happened to be the same restaurant. The glass doors furthest to the north side of the building seem to be where the kitchen is located, as well as the takeout station. The cashier, who was also one of the co-owners, let us know to walk right in next door. We were greeted by the other owner, and he was very welcoming. The service staff were attentive; they had earpieces in, and it felt like we were in a production setting. The seating is a bit tight, especially for someone with an ass like mine. All the chairs and tables were different, kind of like a refurbishing vibe. There was a piano with melted wax on it, I mean, it was nothing like I've seen. I had never had an Argentine potato, egg, caramelized onion deep dish before; it's tasty and heavy on the onions. The burger was my favorite, definitely exploring more of those next time. Also, the empanadas are a must! They're expanding the space and eventually taking over the lot. read more

I have never been more disgusted, embarrassed, humiliated, and so many other things in my life!!!! This manager was the worst. Yes i did reserve a table for 4 and only 2 of us showed up. Never was there fine print for a reservation charge. As i am eating my food and drinking a beer watching the game he rudely comes up and says that since the rest of my party didn't show up he would have to charge me for the seats and give them to someone else. My friend and i were so confused with his rudeness but agreed to pay for the seats since we were just chilling still eating!! After we finished eating they cleaned the table and never asked if we wanted anything else. Confused, i asked the waiter if i could keep ordering or was i being cut off. The so called "owner" then comes and says we have to pay and LEAVE" i paid the bill with the extra $160!!!! Charge!!!! $40 each For 4 people. Even though two of us were there paying. He then grabs my belongings and touches me to leave. Threatens to call the cops even though i paid. It was a whole disgusting embarrassing scene that i wish on nobody. I can go on about this guy but pointless. Never have i been treated that way. Do not support this disgusting business. Look up the reviews, i was not the only one treated that way today. I have never been kicked out of a res after paying, extra $160 at that!!! Horrible! Tasteless! So many words i want to say about him that i just cant. read more

Unfortunately, I'm sad to say that my experience was far different than the others here. I placed a pick up order over the phone, the person I spoke to was fantastic and I was super excited to try a spot close to home. I actually didn't know about this place until my Amex platinum offered a special on restaurants who are part of the Resy network. I don't normally explore this side of town so I was enthusiastic about this place. I went on Yelp and the pictures looked amazing & the reviews were phenomenal. However, my experience ended up being opposite. First, I should mention that the area is still a bit sketchy. S LA is gentrifying but this area still has some time before any major changes. Their shared parking lot is super small so it's likely you'll have to grab street parking which should be easy in the neighborhood but I'm not sure I'd be too comfortable going late in the evening. For my pick up, I went to the side door which was open. I'm not sure what happened but my experience with service wasn't positive. They brought out the food and basically disappeared. I paid for the order on my own, checked to make sure the order was correct meanwhile everyone was running around, nobody checked on me, thanked me or said good bye. It was a really strange experience and quite off putting.. I've tried several different empanadas at various restaurants in the area and these were my least favorite. I've also traveled to Argentina and experienced the best empanadas in my life and these didn't compare. For the price point of $5, they were small and the flavors were just ok. I was also annoyed they provided one tiny container of chimichurri which was also just ok. I also got the ham/cheese medialuna which was like a mini croissant sandwich and it too was just ok. For those with a sweet tooth chocolate croissant with Dulce de leche, for $8, it missed the mark. I think my order was just thrown together and it looked messy which wasn't a good start. But based on other reviews, they seem to offer some nice events in the evening, service is good inside the restaurant and unsure if my experience was a one off bad day. But at the end of the day, it was my experience, I wasn't happy and unsure if I'll go back. read more

​Ever since we had Argentinian pizza in Buenos Aires last fall I have been trying to hunt it down in Tampa and no luck.. Since we were going to LA figured I would try there and bingo. It was pretty darn close. Very interesting place too. Nice menu of Argentinian food. Nice decor too. We will come back again. Everything we had was delicious. This is what I was looking for Argentinian onion and cheese pizza is known as fugazza con queso or the famous double-crust fugazzeta. These styles feature a thick, pillowy crust, zero tomato sauce, heavy molten cheese, and a generous topping of sweet, soft onions. It was pretty close to what we had in Buenos Aires read more

All work in entertainment and the owners are set designers which is so obvious walking into the place honestly. lol cool vibes all around. read more

I like the concept of the 'pink' salad--lots of pinkish things like radishes, radicchio, grapefruit, red onion, red (black) rice turned into a salad. It's hard for the colors to show through since the lighting is also pink! It's decent sized and goes along well with the (small) choripan. Looking forward to having some empanadas. read more

3 of visited for the first time. The server welcomed us warmly, apologized for what looked like chaos (they host tango every 3rd Thursday and so they clear out tables) and then gave us his recommendations when it came time to order. We ordered a variety of things to try and share. Everything was flavorful and delicious except for maybe the asado. It was wel grilled but just lacked a little seasoning compared to what I'm usually used to. Disclaimer though...I did not eat it with the chimichurri which probably would have paired nicely with the less seasoned meat. But the Spanish Chorizo was amazing!! Overall the place was unique, owner and wait staff were super friendly and hospitable, and it was just a generally different vibe than i expected when someone says we're having "argentinian" for dinner. I would definitely go back to try their other pizzas and empanadas. read more

I can't believe how rudely i was treated by one of the waiters. Non- Argentinian shorter gay dude. They screwed up our reservation and he had the balls to be mad at me. Screaming at me to move while I had a broken hand and spilled my drink, in which he did not offer to replace. Also, the one owner behind the bar is awful. He shouldn't be allowed to interact with customers or humans In general. He's nasty. The way he speaks to his staff is atrocious. I'm sad to say but I won't be supporting this business. My parents are Argentinian and I would have love to given them the business but you can't talk to people like that, especially PAYING customers. You have a business because of US. read more

Environment was great, wine and food was delicious. Will be back the next time I'm in the area for sure.

Fuegos LA will take care of you! They have amazing service & the food is so flavorful and juicy! I was a little overstimulated when I first walked in but they make you feel at home. First, I got a gluten-free beef empanada. I loved it so I ordered another one and a mushroom spinach empanada. They made a happy mistake - they had brought me two beef & two chicken empanadas gluten free instead - and though I said not to worry about it, they brought me the mushroom and spinach one anyway as well along with an extra one! I ended up with many more empanadas than I had ordered free of charge. A gluten free empanada dream jijiji! I have a gluten allergy (celiac), but I'm not so sensitive to cross contamination so I can't say for sure how other celiacs would feel, but I felt great after. My boyfriend got a regular beef empanada, a choripan and churros and he loved it all. Chimichurri was amazing! The menus are a digital menu that's put inside of vintage looking books which makes it kind of funny to see everybody appear to be reading jiji! The only small note I have is I wish the bathroom had more light lol and I wish there were paper menus or at least that the menu pages were put first in the digital menu so it could feel a little less overwhelming. But besides that it was all swell, highly recommend, gourmet casual fits them well! Oh and not sure if the bathroom is ADA, I don't recall seeing grab bars so if that wasn't already there, would be great to add. P.S. I had tried gluten free empanadas in Argentina and these ones were the BEST that I have ever had. P.S. P.S. I originally came for locro (loveee soup) but it is seasonal - starts around November - and they let me know they source the ingredients for it from a local farm. You can tell the ingredients are high quality so am excited for locro season with them! Jiji! read more
