This place has such a real authentic Argentinian vibe that every visit feels warm!…read more They have so many Argentine products, amazing traditional desserts, and of course famous Argentine wine. But honestly, we keep coming back mainly for the meat. Their parrilla is LOVE. Perfect for sharing with 3-4 people, incredibly flavorful and always satisfying. And the desserts... they're so cozy and delicious, they honestly taste like something my grandma would bake for me :) Warm, homemade and impossible to resist. Another huge plus is the pricing, very reasonable for the quality and portions you get. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, which makes the whole experience even better. This place feels authentic in the best possible way. One of our absolute favorite spots whenever we're craving real Argentine food in LA.

I've been here a few times, and there is always a table available, the ambiance is lovely, and the…read morefood is great! They have some tables when you walk in, a bar to sit at, and outdoor seating too. They also have live music sometimes, which is always wonderful, and the lighting is well done too. Even the bathroom is cute. There was a time that my partner ordered the dish that is stated on the menu to take extra time to prepare, but it ended up coming out incorrectly and they had to redo it, so by the time it came out, my food was long gone. That's the only reason for 4-stars instead of 5. I highly recommend the Costillas Asadas (braised short ribs), the meat is juicy and delicious and it's served with mashed potatoes and veggies. Will definitely be back, and I do recommend this place to people I know!

Our Friend Vahe took us this week for a Tapas Treat to this gem on Ventura Blvd. They have been…read moreserving the valley with excellent Tapas for 20+ years. We went all the way - tried and shared most of the small tapas - croquetas, mushroom, shrimp, patatas and all the little baguette delicacies - and had a really good time. They have live music - a wonderful guitar player - on some days. If you like Spanish guitar worth checking out his dates in the place. If you care for Tapas - this is the right place. Food, service and ambiance: highly recommended.

Everything positive they say about this place is true. The iced mate + guava puree is my new…read morefavorite drink on a hot day. I don't like mate on its own but with fruit it's a smoky complex iced tea that's a delight with the caffeine I need to get my day going. The caffeine from mate feels better than coffee for me--I recommend trying this out if you're used to getting Starbucks or other coffee regularly! They will customize your drink to your liking. Also I love learning and getting a piece of Argentina here in the Valley. You can get that here with empanadas and other snacks. Service is so great that I'm reminded why we support local businesses and reminded what community means. I tip what I can and plan to support by coming back here. A comfy couch area plus tables for studying and working, catching up with friends, eating. And outdoor seating too. Lots of parking bc the Valley. And they have a punch card for frequent visits!

This was our second visit, and it lived up to the first…read more I ordered the Dulce de Leche Latte, really good, nice caramel like sweetness without being overpowering. My husband got the Vanilla Latte and said it was blended well and not too sweet (which is high praise from him). Consistent drinks, friendly enough service. Will happily come back for a third round.

This was my first time trying Peruvian food, and I was blown away! Everything we ordered was…read moreincredibly flavorful, fresh, and clearly made to order. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every dish. The service is fast and friendly. The standout for me was the Lomo Montado--absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The meat was tender, perfectly cooked, and paired beautifully with the other components on the plate. Beyond the food, the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and have a good time with family and friends. I'm so glad I found this gem and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to try authentic and delicious Peruvian cuisine!

Johnny Pacific has a great reputation of being a special gem, specializing in Latin-Caribbean and…read morePacific Island inspired empanadas. It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.

Amazing food & great service everytime we've gone!!…read more Love their #1 Korean style plate & chicken empanada has become my fave now next to the apple caramel one. And can't forget their yummy guava lemonade!! Thank you for your hospitality!!

I've been here twice, and twice to their other location in El Segundo I believe. While I had some…read moreweird experiences at the other location, such as them just skipping us on the wait list, my experience at this location has been a lot better. Both times we've been seated pretty quickly. At this location I've tried the spicy fried cauliflower and it was sooo good! On a separate occasion I brought my sister who was visiting from out of state. We ordered some sushi, the gyoza and the steak with the fried mashed potatoes and she wouldn't stop talking about how much she loved the food! The only thing I don't love is that they use egg white in the margaritas and if you don't read the ingredients you'll be wondering why your glass smells like egg. Apparently they do this for the foam ‍ Told my sister this and she ordered a strawberry margarita (not on the menu) and still ended up with egg whites in her drink lol so now I make sure to ask at restaurants around the area. The food is great though and so is the service. Both their indoor and outdoor areas are very nice.

What is even going on here?…read more Three parties at the bar, hella bartenders. Waiting here for 15 min and no one came to take our order. Wanted to order food and drinks but we weren't able to. I've been here for happy hour multiple times in the past. Food was fine but my girlfriends kept declining cause "it's gone downhill." Guess they were right. Just a suggestion: my boyfriend who is a manager at a high end restaurant said he would fire them (June 13 at 3 pm). He said "put your titties away and do your job." What else needs to be said?
