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.

Patella- enough food for 3-4 people with leftovers to boot

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

Tortilla de Papas
Ashlyn R.

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!

Papas Provenzal

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.

Tuna tartar
Kristal B.

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!

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!

Noquis al Pesto
Maritza S.

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.

Parrilada, great for 3-4 people!

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.

I'd definitely recommend making a reservation though because it gets pretty busy. My personal favorite is the duck ragu if you want something super savory and rich with that deep umami flavor. If you want something lighter and a little sweeter, the butternut squash pasta is sooo good too. Honestly just writing this is making me crave it again. The drinks here are pretty solid as well, and the servers have always been really helpful every time I've gone.

Wow! This place is amazing!…read more I had heard about it from a few different people, and had it bookmarked as a place to try. It was Friday night and we couldn't decide where to go, and this place made the pick. First of all, the vibe is great. It's very lively and part of charming mini plaza off the street. The first thing I notice were the 2000s Hip Hop & RnB jams playing in the background. I was pleasantly surprised that the tunes kept going throughout the night! It definitely made me feel right at home. Finn, our server, was super friendly and helpful. But make no mistake--the star of the show here is the food! Every single item that we ordered--from the starters to mids to mains to desserts--was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back soon!

Staff were absolutely wonderful and very helpful with menu items and deciding between the 'crispy' or regular Caesar wrap. I love the industrial Italian atmosphere when you walk in.

Def not enough for the whole wrap. I can't finish the wrap so I ask for a to-go box and I ask the worker for a side of dressing to go. He tells me it's $3 at the register. Am I crazy for thinking this is wild greed from their business. After spending $30 they can't give me a small dressing for my wrap? I'm not paying extra off principle. Trying to get an extra $3 out of me is gonna cost you much more. Sorry. All I know is being non accommodating is a good way to lose a customer.

What a wonderful homestyle restaurant in the Highland Park area. Parking is limited on the street…read moreso carpool if possible. There is seating in the front, but I recommend the back patio for more space and the ambiance. Reservations are recommended but walk-ins are accepted. The service is very pleasant and make sure to leave your "mark" on the memo board by the bano. Food is served family style and many pasta dishes have a slight spiciness to them (be forewarned). See the photos for all the food, but our stand outs that you probably cannot get elsewhere are the Elote pasta (elote ravioli), Aquachile (strawberry sauce is a perfect accompaniment and the protein so tender), Pistachio Horchata (homemade and can sell out). Everything is really tasty.

I absolutely loved my experience at Amiga Amore. From service to food, it was spectacular. We…read moreordered the sweet potato ceviche. No notes, 10/10. The presentation was beautiful and the taste and concept was so new and unique. The pasta chips were also a perfect vessel for the ceviche. Next, we got the ribeye chicharron, which was served with handmade tortillas. It was honestly like building your own taco lol. There were flour and blue corn tortillas, and they provided a different experience and taste to the dish. The ribeye were small tho, especially for the price. The duck duck duck pasta is a MUST GET! My favorite pasta dish in a while! The flavor was light yet the duck fragrance hits you in the face. I believe there are 4 "duck" components: egg yolk, confit, meat, and skin. Lastly, we got the elote agnolotti, a must try here for its uniqueness. It truly gives elote and is an explosion of flavor in the mouth. For drinks, we got the pistachio horchata and the mexitalian soda. Both were delicious! Even as someone who doesn't particularly enjoy horchata. The mexitalian soda though, was so refreshing! One key highlight though, we found out that their hot sauce is made in house! It was literally a perfect addition to the dishes and a little gives it the oomph to bring the dish to another level! We enjoyed adding it to all the dishes we ordered. At the end of the night, we were stuffed but wanted to try their pie slice of the day, a yuzu lime pie with a cookie crust and brown sugar meringue. It was alright, maybe our hopes were a bit too high, but the slice was a bit mushy, when we wanted a nice crunchy crust. Overall, I am already planning to return with my family for my birthday and can't wait to try more items on the menu!

We were told seating was first come, first served, so when a table opened up outside, our group of five sat down while part of our group went inside to order. Almost immediately, my friends were aggressively accused by a waitress of bringing outside alcohol, which was completely untrue. Shortly after ordering multiple drinks and several plates of food, another staff member came to our table and began yelling at us, threatening to kick us out for being "rude" to staff, even though we had done nothing but order our food and drinks. What made it even more uncomfortable was watching other guests openly smoking weed while staff said nothing, yet our group felt watched, accused, and singled out the entire time. As the only Latino group sitting outside, the experience left us feeling unwelcome, uncomfortable, and discriminated against. As a fellow restaurant owner, I understand hospitality and house policies, which is why this treatment was especially disappointing. What should have been a fun birthday celebration turned into a terrible experience, and we ended up leaving early.
