    It's been a few year's since I've been here. It's like being home. The food is always made fresh and daily. Yummy time to eat

    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.

    Guiso de Lentejas Chimichurri Jalapeño and Cheese Empanada
    Nolan S.

    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.

    Business closure notice.

    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. This is a family run great Argentinian restaurant in the city of Glendale. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Foods, services, & ambience get all 5 stars in my opinions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Beef empanadas
    Marcos P.

    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

    Penne pasta with meat and red sauce
    Rayanna B.

    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.

    Flan
    Vicki F.

    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!

    Visited July 17, 2026. After our Japanese Garden trip, my…read moredaughter and I stopped here for dinner. I feel horrible, because I chose this place and it turned out poorly. Initially I was going to give one star, or infinite negative stars if Yelp allowed, for my server's shady service. After speaking with the manager, Roxanne, on the phone, I decided to rate them 3 stars based on the food only, and just write about the experience. Upon entering, I asked the host if we could sit at one of two empty booths. She stated that they were only for parties of five, then walked us to a hidden inside room by the restroom. The vibe just felt off, but I did not let my daughter know what my gut was telling me. The room had only two parties in it. We sat a while before our server came. I will call him E. for now, as Roxanne will speak with him. He asked, "Are you good with water for now?" He did not ask if we were ready, if we wanted drinks, or if it was our first time. A couple came in after us. He was attentive with them, and they got bread ahead of us. Every table had bread except for ours. Then I saw E. filling water at every table except ours, and my daughter's cup was half full. My daughter sarcastically said, "Is it because we look poor?" I know there is always some truth to every joke. I said, "I guess." Then she continued, "Uhm, at least you had a nice blouse on, and jeans. I am wearing a tank top." I laughed, but quietly I was very upset. I held my composure because I did not want to ruin her dinner. But she should not have felt that way. That was not okay at all. I checked their dress policy beforehand. It is casual. My daughter wore a pinstripe button-down over a tank top, charcoal shorts, and tennis shoes. The females there were in dresses and the males in slacks. We sure dressed for the occasion, just not what E. was expecting. We sat alone a long while. No bread, no utensils, just water. E. finally came. Before we said anything: "We will bring out some plates for you to share? You'll be sharing, right?" Unprompted, he mentioned the Wagyu. "That would be good to order for you to share. There are plenty of meat in one plate." I had actually planned to order the Wagyu, but after that comment I chose the lamb. I ordered the clams for appetizer ($22), and the lamb chop ($56). My daughter ordered the sea bass (Corvina, $46). E. asked if I wanted spaghetti added to the clams, pointing at the $12 add-on. Since he pointed at the price, I declined. He then asked about sides, again pointing at the prices. I was planning on the creamed spinach ($14). Again, I smiled and declined after his poor behavior. E. was annoyed that I was unfazed. Every signal said the same thing: they did not think we could afford to be here. The food was okay. The clam sauce tasted like lemon juice. The lamb was pungent and gamey, and the sea bass seasoning was not to my daughter's liking. I also ordered hot tea. E. listed the options: green tea, chamomile, or herbal. I chose herbal. It did not arrive. I had to ask a busboy who brought the clams out, who flagged E. down. E. asked me the flavor again from another table. "Chamomile?" I reiterated: herbal. He did not come by to apologize for the delay. When I received it, it was chamomile and not herbal. Halfway through dinner, E. passed by once. "Everything is good?" We said yes as he kept walking. Yet he stopped at other tables to check on them. I flagged him down to recook my lamb, which was too raw. Without confirming, he took my plate away. Then I overheard him say, "Box it." I thought he meant for another table. He came back with the still-raw lamb in a box and a check, then instantly took off. I never asked for the damn check. He did not misunderstand me. He confirmed with another table before boxing their food. He never asked me. He boxed my raw lamb and dropped the check while my daughter was still eating, then walked away. As soon as I placed my card on the table, E. miraculously appeared. Lucky for him, I tipped 18%, but I wanted to tip only 10% or just leave a NOTE. I selected "printed check" on the handheld. A bright green text popped up that you cannot miss: "Please wait, your server will come back with your printed receipt." He took the device, said nothing, and disappeared. I waited for the receipt. It never came, and when I noticed E. was at another table with his back toward us, we left. Once home and alone, I called the manager. Roxanne was apologetic and offered a free appetizer if we return. I declined it and stated I just want better service if we choose to give the place another visit. Roxanne handled the call with grace, and that is the only reason this is not a one star. In retrospect, I do not see us coming back anytime soon, or ever. UNACCEPTABLE!!! To my daughter, who kept her kindness through a night that did not deserve it, you are the best part of every table I sit at. xoxo

If you're…read morelooking for an exceptional steakhouse with soul, warmth, and outstanding food, I cannot recommend Carlitos Gardel Argentine Steakhouse highly enough. This Classic Hollywood hotspot has earned its reputation as the number one steak in Los Angeles. What makes it even more special is its story: this year they are celebrating their 30th anniversary. What began as a heartfelt family business -- a true love letter to Buenos Aires -- has grown into a beloved Los Angeles institution. Chef Gerard's passion shines through in every detail. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm smile by Max, the brother and sommelier and immediately presented with a basket of fresh bread accompanied by chimichurri sauce -- quite possibly the best I've ever tasted. The cocktail list features creative specialties with their own unique flair, and the wine menu is impressive, offering perfect pairings for every course. The star of the evening was the ribeye: tender, juicy, bursting with flavor, and finished with a beautiful crisp edge. Paired with their Papas Fritas -- golden fries tossed with garlic and parsley -- it was the ideal accompaniment. Every bite felt like a celebration. When you think the meal couldn't get any better, the dessert arrives and completely blows you away. I'll leave that as a delightful surprise for you to discover. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, or simply craving an unforgettable steak dinner, Carlitos Gardel delivers an experience that feels both elegant and deeply personal. Buen Provecho!

It's not a restaurant you're going to go to all the time but rather for a special occasion. It's on the pricier side, so with drinks and dessert, it adds up.

There is more of a serious vibe in the room, not somewhere I would take children. The menu consists primarily of meat but they also have chicken and pasta as well. Everything is ala cart so getting some sides is a must. I would recommend the mashed potatoes, mushrooms were ok, needed a little bit more flavor. For dessert the crepes were probably the best, the dolce de leche filling was perfect with a burnt caramelization on top.
