This is very sad..... that was My favorite place in Glendale, in fact I wanted to buy their business at some point. Very sad to see them go. Does anybody know if their moved? read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stumbled into El Morfi Grill for a late lunch, and honestly, it was a great decision. This place is the definition of a hidden gem. It's small, quiet, clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Chicken Alfredo, a Pechuga ala parrilla, and a Choripan sandwich. All were delicious but the real superstars of the afternoon were the empanadas. The pastry was soft, fluffy, and held together a filling so well-seasoned and generous that I'm still thinking about it. It's fresh, tasty Argentinian comfort food that hits exactly where it's supposed to. ​This is a small, family-run place with just a handful of staff, you have to be prepared for the service to move at a slightly more relaxed pace. But in a world where everything is rushed and impersonal, there's something genuinely charming about a place that takes its time to get the food right. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive, checking in on us frequently. It's the kind of local business that actually deserves your support, so if you're in the area, stop by and give them some love. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just be prepared to relax, soak in the quiet vibe, and leave significantly heavier than when you arrived.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

It has been some time since we were last here, though my wife has notes about her visit to this place from the 1990s! Our meal started with the bread and chimichirri. It was great! I ordered the Chicken Marsala with Marsala Sauce on the pasta (instead of Marinara). It was good, though the Marsala Sauce was a touch sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. They are very generous with the mushrooms! My wife got the Entraña. (Skirt steak). The steak was very tasty. That, with the rice and sauce, made her day! We also ordered a Chicken Caesar salad. I liked the grilled chicken in the salad. The service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere was pleasant. I enjoyed the Argentine music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We'll be back. read more

The empanadas were delicious and so was the linguini pasta. Both my wife and sister had the Costeletas de cerdo. The waitress was wonderful and had a friendly way of making us feel welcome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was a party of 5 with a well behaved newborn.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Last time we were here was doing the coronavirus pandemic. My wife and I had to dine outdoors. We never forgot El Morfi Grill. Today we sadly learned that this establishment is closing to economics hard times . Too expensive to run a small Argentinian athentic restaurant in Glendale, CA, let alone on Brand Bl. Best wishes to the owner and the staff. read more

First of all the food was a must have. It's hard to find good Argentinian food and when you do this is the spot. The service is what you would expect from a small yet well known restaurant. We had the "Parrillada Para Dos," it was fantastic, giving a little more than "for two" but taking home left overs was no problem at all. To go with it, the "Guiso de Lentejas" hit the spot. I cannot wait to come back for more. read more

So sad to see this place close. My family made a lot of great memories here. This was where we'd celebrate birthdays & special occasions. The staff warmly greeted my in laws by name and were so friendly. The food was always so delicious, a family favorite was the entraña. You will be missed Morfi read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I can't say much for the decor but the food was delicious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a barbecue chicken pizza and it was absolutely amazing . They also served some nice soft bread with dipping oil. The bread is a must! I ordered a glass of wine Argentinian, of course, and it was absolutely amazing! I hope to return to experience other dishes they have on the menu. Everything sounded absolutely good. read more

The service is excellent. My likes are simple. The empanadas are fantastic, and the lentil soup is seasoned beautifully. Those are my two staples. as far as the entrées are concerned, you may want the linguine with shellfish, etc. read more

Sadly they closed permanently as of 2/15/2026. I just found this out today when my friend and I were planning to get together at El Morfi for lunch.

My mother and I went in on a whim a few weeks ago and were not disappointed. The empanadas are absolutely delicious! The pastry was soft and fluffy while the filling was delicious and well-served. We ordered the churrasco, asado de tira, and spinach lasagna. The sauce on the lasagna was creamy and tasty without being overpowering. As for the meats, all were cooked to perfection, well seasoned, and super juicy. One of the best cut of meats I've had! The service can be a bit slow sometimes but considering this is a small-family run restaurant with only a handful of employees, it's completely understandable. Our server, Rene, was friendly and attentive and checked in on us frequently. Overall, a great experience and delicious food! If you get the chance or are in the area make sure you check out this neat little restaurant and support a small, family-run business! My recommendations: beef empanadas, asado de tira with garlic potatoes, sangria read more

I have always walked past by this restaurant but have never really tried it until today. After a long day at work, I decided to meet up with my mom and treat her here just because... My mom and I shared their housemade sangria which was so refreshing! We started with the ham and cheese empanada and chicken empanada. Both were such a delight especially if you add the chimichurri. We then ordered the Paella Valenciana and a plate of penne pasta with meat and red sauce. We got fooled because apparently the paella is good for two people but man that dish was big, hearty and for sure delicious. I loved how they were super generous with the fresh seafood. The plate of pasta was also very delicious and is also good for sharing. read more

Lovely, family-owned restaurant on Brand in Glendale. Who knew there was authentic Argentinian food in the valley that wasn't just meat skewers and tourists? Get there early, order the sangria and settle in for simple, home made fare. We started with the empanadas (must try) and shared the angus steak and chopped salad. Saved room for the flan (also home made) which was simple, tasty and filling. Others have commented on the service. For me, that's always a downside in family run places, I.e., just not enough people working. But the upside is you get to feel welcomed by someone who cares and knows the food coming out of the kitchen. Our server was clearly the mom and kept telling us "home made!" So sit back, relax and just enjoy! read more

EXCEPTIONAL! This spot is where flaky goodness makes my tummy happy. We heard about this spot from a friend so we made the trip to Glendale. I love a good empanada (aka the perfect portable delicacy!). One dozen cost just under 40 bucks. El Morfi earns a standing ovation for its empanadas. Bonus: their homemade chimichurri was a hit! Each bite was jam packed w/ tastes with meat/veggie fillings perfectly wrapped in goldy brown pastry. El Morfi's has perfected the art of crafting these yummyz. Soooooo worth the drive to Glendale to experience El Morfi's empanadas. Trust me, it's worth the trip! read more

New Year's Day and everything was closed... including the restaurant my friend and I planned on eating at. Seeing as we were both hungry, we were so happy they were open and the owner was so nice and inviting. If this review was just based on how nice they were, then it would have been a five-star rating but unfortunately a couple things went wrong. Not their fault at all but Argentinian beer Quilmes was not so great and I wouldn't order it again. What was their fault was putting mayo on my milanesa sandwich after I clearly requested that they did not. I should've said something and regret not doing so. Other than that, my sandwich. Was good. The beef empanada was ok and the bread and sauce brought before the meal was delicious. read more

Me and my family love coming here. Our favorites are the Provoleta, Jalapeño Empanada, Onion Empanada, Mollejas and the El Morfi Antipasto. The chimichurri is very good as well. The owner and staff are also very friendly and kind. read more

Morcilla, chorizo, chinchulines, empanadas, entraña, sandwich de milanesa, chimichurri, even a simple salad and un cortadito to finish the meal... what can I say, we thouroughly enjoyed our lunch there. Great service, great, great food. Chorizo and morcilla definitely better tasting than other places. I really enjoyed savoring the morcilla or blood sausage. Papas fritas provensal was very yummy... like garlic fries, but better. Chinchulines, cooked to perfection. A few lemon juice drps and chimichurri made them dilish. Each dish we ordered brought back childhood memories, taste, and flavors of BS.AS. Will definitely come back and try the other dishes such as pizza. Ambience was relaxing and tipical cafe restaurant one. read more
