This place surpassed my expectations. I've been to Malbec in Pasadena and was not impressed. I came here because our son craved steak and we were in the area. We were the only customers during lunch. We ordered the parillada and a few appetizers. The parillada was amazing. All the meats were perfectly cooked (although under-seasoned - but nothing a little salt can't fix). The sides were great and their beer was good too. Would come back and try more things. read more

My wife gave it 1 star I give it 3 but 2 stars is accurate for value. The we got the assortment of meats on a hot dish. Flavor was ok, but the meat was tough to eat. The restaurant was 20% full and it took 27 min. to get served. For $120 w/ tip, terrible value, will not return. A much better option is Mercado Buenos Aires is a long-standing (since 1989) Argentine restaurant, bakery, and market with locations in Van Nuys and Granada Hills, CA. It specializes in authentic cuisine, including grass-fed Angus beef, empanadas, and chimichurri, alongside a market offering imported groceries. Good price, great food! read more

A hidden gem in Eagle Rock. This cozy restaurant restaurant is elegantly decorated and the servers are amazing! I can't remember our server's name, but he was so helpful deciding on a wine and entree dishes. The portions are generous and the options are many. We ordered some wine, calamari appetizer, and shared the entraña al Malbec. For dessert we had some Gelato and coffee. Everything was delicious and the service was amazing. We will definitely be back to try the milanesa! read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Malbec Market was disappointing. The food wasn't very good and didn't live up to what we expected. What made the experience more uncomfortable was our server repeatedly picking on me throughout the meal. What may have been intended as joking stopped feeling playful after it kept happening and made it difficult to enjoy ourselves. Good service should make guests feel welcome, not singled out or uncomfortable. Between that and the food, I can't say we'd be rushing back. read more

We had such a great experience here! The place has a cozy, semi rustic kind of vibe and the staff made us feel really welcome from the moment we walked in. The steak was absolutely perfect -- juicy, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell they really know how to grill meat the right way. The chimichurri was amazing (I could honestly eat it with everything), I bought some to-go! the spicy beef empanadas were so flavorful. The calamari, ravioli & paella are delicious! Overall, everything from the service to the food was on point. Plenty of street parking available nearby. read more

Service was fantastic! Great Argentinian food and good selection of wines and beers. We had a party of nine and our food was prepared and ready very quickly. They have amazing desserts. Nice little tucked away place. The only gripe I have is finding parking. That was our biggest challenge read more

Malbec Market - Patella- enough food for 3-4 people with leftovers to boot - Argentine Near Me - Eagle Rock, California

Service was super friendly. Sausages were delicious. Skirt steak was better than the ribeye, but only because it came with a sauce.

This place was great.. 5 Star!!! Until we made Mother's Day dinner reservations for 4, recieved reminder texts about our upcoming reservations the day before and confirmed..... but oh... they permanently closed earlier in the week and didn't inform us. Needless to say we were disappointed, AND S.O.L for dinner... sux read more

My fiance and I came to Malbec Market for an early Anniversary celebration, booked the time and seating through Opentable and voila - all we needed to do was show up and enjoy what they have to offer. The place is simple but chic, the table setting is lovely, elevated but not forced. A casual smart restaurant that has the appeal of a sophisticated neighborhood market restaurant but yet not stuffy and inauthentic - the staff are courteous and friendly. I very much appreciate their attention to detail and their effort to make their customer experience comfortable and memorable, since it's summer, the timed misters are a welcome sight in their Al Fresco section of the restaurant, they also have heaters installed for the colder months. The appetizers are well portioned for 2 and even maybe 3, we were excited to try their Pulpo, however, my fiance is allergic to pine nuts so we opted for the Rabas which is their version of the calamari, lightly fried to golden deliciousness, it was fantastic! We also ordered a side of Papas Provenzal - perfectly fried with a balanced infusion of seasoning, garlic and parsley, definitely a must! For the main dish, we both had the Entraña Al Malbec - Absolutely tender and delicious! Beautifully seasoned and infused with red wine reduction, served with mushrooms, onions. mashed potato and sauteed vegetables - a definite must try or for consideration! Overall, Malbec Market did not disappoint! It was such a lovely experience, great food, wonderful people and convenient location, a definite two thumbs up. read more

So excited I finally got to try this spot! Prices are a bit on the higher end, but the wine selection is great! Our service was a bit slow, but super friendly. To start we had the tortilla de papas! The frittata and aioli were a delicious pair! We also had the prosciutto pizza. It was a bit underdone, but still very flavorful and cheesy. Overall, had a pleasant experience! read more

Did NOT know that this place is so close to my grandfather's. I really should take him here one day. It's a nice in between for fancier dining and something for a casual dinner date. Service was friendly, welcoming, and very attentive. Not sure if it was for a special night or event, but they had the entire Beatles discography playing too. I don't think I've had Argentinian food aside from empanadas, milanesa, and some street/snack food, so this was real neat dining experience for me. We got some complimentary bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Simple and delicious but try not to fill up on these! I was already super full from before and I also wanted dessert but did not have enough stomach space. Maybe next time! We got the: 1) Picada de Chorizos: -We paid a bit extra for the upgrade so that we can also get the mollejas aka the grilled veal sweet breads. -This was NOT the sweet bread I was expecting. I legit thought it was going to be like a sweet roll bread, so this was my first time having sweet bread and it was tender meat instead! Very interesting. -This plate of different sausages were all natural with no artificial ingredients or hormones. -It included Argentinian chorizo, red chorizo, thin parrillera (meaning BBQ or grilled, I believe) sausage, morcilla (blood sausage). -Each had a unique taste ranging from slightly salty, to peppery, some which were a bit richer in taste, mixes of spices and pepper, etc. -It also came with a side of potato salad too. -Nice variety and spread of unique meats. 2) Sorrentinos: -These are stuffed round pasta with pieces of ham, smoked mozzarella, asparagus, mushrooms, and a yummy orange sauce (most likely a mix of cream and tomato/cheese). -Different types of yummy mushrooms are mixed with this pasta and there are 5 large, sizeable pieces. -Meats were tender and not too salty. -Creamy and rich sauce. Great dish. I'd love to stop by here again one day! read more

Swung by during Dine LA week & had a fantastic time! Food was delicious and the wine was so good we bought a bottle to enjoy at home later Highlights were the tuna appetizer & the chicken cutlet. We opted to be seated outside and while it was a bit to toasty at first the shade & fans were great and then as the sun set it was beautiful. Yes it's right off the major street with traffic but the curtains help feel it a bit more peaceful. Will definitely be back! read more

I've had this restaurant on my list for a long time, but I had not been close by to stop in. This past weekend we had a long trip and decided to stop by and I'm so glad we did! The restaurant is located in the Main Street of a cute neighborhood. I was able to find street parking nearby. The ambience is very welcoming and you have the option to sit in their sidewalk patio or inside. This place is perfect for every occasion. My husband and I split two appetizers into entrées because we wanted to try multiple things . We started with the carpaccio al trufo which is thinly sliced beef topped with truffles, olive oil, red onions, olive oil, arugula salad, and grated cheese. This was absolutely lovely. Then we had the Jamón Serrano with tomato toast. This too was tasty but I wish they gave you more of the bread. 2 pieces is not enough. Argentinians are known for cooking amazing steaks, so of course we had to try one. We ordered the Ojo de Bife al Chimichurri and it was perfectly cooked to order. I really could've eaten this by myself. The Noquis al Pesto pasta dish was just ok. I will say that the server tried to guide me to get another entree and I still decided to try it. Just to be clear it wasn't bad but I'm sure there were better dishes on the menu. Let this be a lesson to listen to the servers I wish I lived closer so I could stop by more often . This will definitely be on my list for every time I make it out to the area. read more

After having been to Argentina 5x and falling in love with the culture, this place acts as an island extension of one of my favorite countries. The people who run the restaurant are from Argentina and the customs observed here are very Argentine. I ordered a choripan and a milanesa. Both were probably the best I've had in LA. No necesito decirte más sobre la comida porque la experiencia vas a tener acá será la más auténtica que es posible en Los Ángeles. Buen provecho! read more

Malbec Market - Argentine Near Me - Eagle Rock, California

I was really looking forward to trying this place, Argentine food seems to always be solid, but this place is very pricey for the quality and the experience. PIZZA: I know the pizza business well and this is definitely not any style or any type of pizza that came out of an oven, it's cheese on top of some sort of premade bread for $24.00 ( about 8") few pieces of prosciutto and dry arugula, if you're calling it pizza, I'll give you my expert pizza opinion. CARPACCIO: it was ok, but it needed more flavor, perhaps lemon, pepper, shaved parmigiano, but it was very very bland... RIB EYE: Not the best cut or quality , it was ok, but not for what they are charging, I've also never really had a square cut of Rib Eye... FRIES: they call them Papas Provenzal for $11 ( just a normal side of fries ) we were asked twice if we wanted them with the garlic and the whatever they put on them. We said yes, they still came plain and toward the end of our dinner. Service is ok, but our waiter didn't really seem to know the wines or the menu yet, no big deal, if he's new. We were one of two tables and our food came out separate no all at once. I don't really plan on going back, too expensive for what you get and we didn't leave with a feeling of having a good meal.... read more

The food, the service and the ambiance are all great. My family and I have been eating here or ordering from here for years. Love it. I definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting great food and service. All the staff are great and friendly. Thank you Malbec Market. read more

We had the Parrillada which didn't have blood sausage or sweet bread. Meat was too chewy. It was $97 which is pricey. The extra veggie plate was enough for 1. The Sangria had no fruit except a little slice of orange, it was $42 for a carafe for 3 maybe. It altogether was not good Argentinian food that I am accustomed to. Won't go back. Parking bad too. They have tiny parking in back which in the middle of dinner they made us move our car so their delivery truck could come in. WHAT? What a kill joy! read more

We have always enjoyed Malbec in Pasadena but discovered Malbec Market about a year ago. The menu is amazing and has all the classics as well as some high end Argentinian street food. Their flan is incredible so save room for that after your meal! read more

Amazing food and service! Don't skip on the empanadas, and the beef milanesa is the best one I've had in town. The parrillada is a great option to share, the highlight going to the sausages and the skirt steak! Also don't skip on the sautéed veggies: they're legit the best broccoli and cauliflower I've ever had, and they don't share the recipe (I've tried lol), so you know they're cooking something special. read more

I've been here twice and both times I enjoyed it . Everything here is tasty, the only thing I have problem with is that their food is too oily. I have tried a lot of things here , including appetizers and sides. My fav thing is their breaded chicken , and the side of carrots. I liked the calamari too. Their service is kind of mediocre but it does the job . I will try their other items :) read more

Food was delicious. Very diverse menu. Roasted half chicken and house salad were excellent. I highly recommend.

Light dinner here with friends and I really enjoyed it! Never really had Argentinian food so the menu confused me as it had so much Italian in it. An Argentinian friend explained later to me that there's actually a huge population in Argentina with Italian descent so this all makes sense now! The pizzas were really good and while a bit expensive, I'd say I wouldn't hesitate to get it again. They are very deep dish and crispy and heave on the cheese. Both pizzas were very good My friend ordered the provoleta and she actually didn't like it. She said all the ingredients didn't really come together right and that relatively quickly it hardened up. It came with a couple of thin pieces of toasted bread. I tried some of the provoleta at the bottom of the pan and it was just hardened cheese so I didn't really have much opinion on it I ordered an Argentinian beer that was cheap and didn't notice anything unique about the flavor. Seems to me $6 bottle beers all taste roughly the same no matter if it's from Argentina or Taiwan. Still good though! I also had whatever the first Malbec wine was, I enjoyed it. They'll give you a sample if you ask for it This place is great for a small pleasant dinner with friends and I'd love to come back and try some of the other Argentinian dishes. My Argentinian friend said the Parrillada for two looks really authentic and he'd recommend it so I hope to get that next time! read more

Came for dinner. Had a reservation and were sat immediately. Our party of 2 was warmly greeted. We sat in the patio outside which was very cute and gave us a nice view of the sunset. The waiter was helpful and walked us through his favorites on the menu. Everyone came around often to refill our drinks. Now the food...wow! The empanadas, octopus, and pastas were all wonderfully cooked. The meat that we ordered was moist and the sauces had obviously been given the attention they needed to deliver serious flavor. We didn't try dessert since we were stuffed. Next time... read more

First time here for dinner with the family and it was enjoyable. I like the ambiance of this place. They have a huge selection of wine. It is a bit pricey though but the food was delicious. We ordered the chorizo pizza, sorrentinos, and empanadas. They were all pretty tasty. I have never had Argentinian food before. The pizza was superb and cheesy just how I like it.

The food is excellent. Our server was very solicitors and helpful with respect to menu items. Her recommendations were on point and the items did not disappoint. Even the unavailability of certain items in the menu for one reason or another did not matter because the alternative proposed was also good. Except for the fact that there is some difficulty in finding street parking, one should not pass up the opportunity to eat here. It is worth it! read more

Went to try it. Stood waiting for about ten minutes. Not sure if I was suppose to seat myself. Finally the guy gave me a menu and I sat down. My steak came out and was so incredibly salty couldn't taste steak at all. I didn't stay. Not good service and guessing the chef is losing his taste buds. Over salting is the clue. read more

My husband is a big meat lover and is rarely satisfied with the restaurant choices I pick. It's always a challenge to find somewhere that caters to his tastes!

We always order their parrillada and empanadas, which never disappoint. Plus, their wine selection is fantastic, making it a great all-around choice for our family. read more

Malbec Market - Steak - Argentine Near Me - Eagle Rock, California

I had the joy of dining here for lunch with my husband on a Saturday. We chose this place based on its location not too far from the lower Arroyo Seco, reviews and menu offerings. There were not many people inside and our host allowed us to choose our table. We were told about some of the most popular items and were provided fresh bread with a herbed olive oil topping and water. We took the recommendation of the host and ordered an appetizer of two empanadas and we chose one spinach/cheese and one spicy beef. The pastry is perfectly cooked and the filling was delicious. My husband chose the cuadril sandwich with fries and I chose the napolitano with a breaded beef steak with side salad. Both sandwiches were served on yummy ciabatta bread. All the ingredients were fresh in the salad and sandwiches. The French fries were cooked to perfection; crisp but not greasy. The portions were generous and we certainly could have shared a sandwich. The restaurant has an extensive wine list of Argentinian and South American wines as well as a number of beers. I enjoyed a fruit forward glass of Grenache recommended by our attentive and friendly waitress with my meal. We would definitely eat here again when in the area. read more

This was the first day of DineLA and I was looking forward to this restaurant. Well, the food did not disappoint and was so filling, I took home the main course; I must of filled up on the delicious table bread and dip. The menu included an appetizer, which had bacon wrapped shrimp and short ribs that were delicious. Our main included lamb and fish, which were huge servings and prepared to melt in our mouths. I have never had such tasty dinners. As for dessert, we had crepes and a deep fried marmalade dessert which well designed and nothing what I expected. The taste had both sweet and savory with a smack of ice cream on the side. I enjoyed the laid back atmosphere which was not stuffy with both inside and outside dining. read more

There is absolutely nothing small about the food and service in this restaurant except for the size of the place. A cute, cozy place that you're able to sit inside or outside.

Portions were more than enough for the meal was filling. It's street parking but i don't think you'll have a hard time finding parking. Over-all, its a great place and will definitely be back. read more

Overall incredibly solid. Writing this based off of 2 experiences. Steak sandwich for lunch is 9/10 amazing. Went for dinner, got the Diabla pizza, skirt steak and the Tortilla de Papas appetizer. The app was bonkers, loved it. Came out steaming and added the cured ham. Unique, well put together and just texturally really enjoyable. My girlfriend had the steak (how emasculating, jk) and the tenderness and wine reduction sauce stuck out. It was seasoned well, the kitchen knows what they're doing with meat and fire for sure. Carrots that came with it were undercooked and still really hard but who cares it's just carrots. Diabla pizza looked the best on paper but was not quite it for me. Don't get me wrong, for $21 this mf was LOADED. Value meal? Yes yes yes. I found myself having to eat it with a fork and knife though, not the pizza experience I was hoping for. Doesn't mean it didn't taste great, I equate it to a chicken marsala pizza. Cheese was great, onions were delicious. It required a fork and knife imo. Staff were attentive and nice, seem like true service professionals through and through. It was early on a Saturday and they weren't too busy, should be busier in my opinion. A great spot, cool atmosphere, nice outdoor dining options, a small "butcher" style cooler with take home proteins and a few dozen different wine bottles for sale at the front. Price is very fair for what you get quality and quantity wise. Officially a 4.2/5 for me. Give it a shot. read more

With this pandemic, my travel schedule has been severely affected. But thank God for Malbec! I've always wanted to eat here but the time wasn't always right...Thanks COVID. Now that LA county has opened up again, I took advantage of having an early lunch. Only came in for a snack and I relished every bite. Two empanadas - Spicy Beef and Spinach/Cheese. The crust was so buttery and flavorful. It was phenomenal. The octopus was even better than I imagined! So succulent and delicious. Grilled to perfection and the accompanying chorizo was the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and seafoody (is that a word?) The salad was a Build Your Own - Pick one type of lettuce, one dressing and six different toppings. We also opted to add the grilled shrimp. Although it doesn't look that great because of the beets, it tasted great! I recommend the balsamic vinaigrette.
