Milanesa Napolitana!

by Phroggy

Lala's is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Despite being located in the trendy heart of Melrose, Lala's never comes off as being pretentious or snooty. I've had pretty good luck walking right up on a Friday or Saturday night and getting a table relatively quickly. I also adore its patio, which has an outdoor atmosphere, yet has the warmth of a cozy indoor dining room.

Two words - Milanesa Napolitana. This is what I order for my entree every time. It's sort of like a cross between chicken fried steak and chicken parmesan, with a little Argentinian kick of flavor. Yum! I also sometimes order the Provoleta for an appetizer, which is just melted cheese, but it's oh so good. The bread with their oil and herbs is also amazing (I don't even know what they call it, but it's potent and addicting).

I knocked off a star only because I went there once for my birthday and they stuck us indoors in the corner, but other than that one experience, Lala's has been great. Make sure you order some sangria.

• Pros: Food, atmosphere, service
• Cons: Sometimes no parking

Great place for cheap but good salmon

I love lala's but unfortunately I've only had the salmon and steak with mash/rice and salad. I would recommend this for anyone.

• Pros: price, salmon dijon
• Cons: n/a

They have the best olive oil/cilantro bread dip here! And the food was amazing...the chicken and salmon salads were very tasty! And the portions were huge for such a great price!
