Malbec Argentinean Cuisine in Pasadena offers fantastic food and drinks, with a great selection on both menus. The restaurant has a vibrant and cozy atmosphere, with warm lighting and a mix of elegant and casual settings, including booths and window tables that create a romantic feel. The staff, especially Roman, is friendly and attentive, often guiding guests with recommendations and quick to respond when issues arise.

Appetizers and small plates, including warm bread with chimichurri, Pulpo (grilled octopus with aji Amarillo aioli), and spinach-cheese empanadas, are repeatedly praised for being tasty. Desserts such as Panqueque de Dulce de Leche and other traditional sweets are popular. The restaurant is clean and nicely appointed, making it a great place for a special dinner or casual meal with friends. Many guests leave happy, celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying good food. Service is a strong point, with staff responding promptly when adjustments are needed.
