Wowwww. This is one restaurant in LA that NEVER EVER fails to make a great evening into an exceptional one !!! The food, as amazing as always, the service, impeccable and the atmosphere....always welcoming. I love a good steak cooked using the very best of ingredients. Our humble opinion is that Carlito's offers THE BEST steaks anywhere in Southern Ca. Another huge + is that if you enjoy a great wine, then they offer one of the deepest wine selections around. It is well curated...

i think this is the best steakhouse in LA. The service is Porteño elegant, there is now a full bar with an evolved cocktail list, the steaks are perfect, and postres include the best dulce de leche north of BA.
September 2025
The venue is expensive but the quality is top notch; the wine list is extensive with the best bargains to be found in the Argentinian wine selection (many of the other wines had a 4x markup). Great service and expertly prepared meat (we had the lamb chops and the ribeye for two) make this an excellent choice for a carnivore's night out or special celebration
