I've been here twice and both times I enjoyed it . Everything here is tasty, the only thing I have problem with is that their food is too oily. I have tried a lot of things here , including appetizers and sides. My fav thing is their breaded chicken , and the side of carrots. I liked the calamari too. Their service is kind of mediocre but it does the job . I will try their other items :)

If you want a delicious meal, in a charming restaurant within a town that is close to Pasadena, CA, Malbec is perfect! We really enjoyed the food-- DELICIOUS! We loved the service--friendly, competent and COURTEOUS! We truly enjoyed the ambience-- quiet, clean and SERENE!

The food was great!!! What really stood out was the service. I asked our waiter for recommendations based on our dietary restrictions, limited appetite, and wanting a good representation of Argentinean food. He recommended a couple of empanadas, a couple of sausages, and a main dish for my date and I to share. Needless to say, both my date and I were impressed. If I'm in the area again, I'll be sure to be back.Dietary restrictions: Lactose intolerant

What a lovely discovery in Eagle Rock! We loved all of our dishes, the great neighborhood vibe and our super kind and helpful server Benicia. Highly recommended - we will definitely be back.

Beware stay away this is a very horribly managed and run restaurant I saw the chef today in the restroom and while he was leaving he did not wash his hands they do not care about customer service I've been there various times and it's been nothing but a disappointment service and environment the chef will actually come out visually take a look at you and then go back and cook your food accordingly upon his judgment of whether you should get a bigger plate a better plate or etc...they're very oblivious to there employees behavior I would think twice and then think one more time about coming back to this location and dealing with that weird chef... the Pasadena location is much more efficient and clean with with much better service... And better sizes...only a few miles away...

We received extraordinary service, sensitivity to dietary needs and helpful suggestions paring wine with food choices ( it was not busy so we even had profound conversations with Loren, our empathic waiter)
