Carlitos Gardel Argentine Steakhouse

Absolutely Love this place, feels like home every time we go there. The moment your step your foot in they treat you with this amazing energy and hospitality. Food is delicious we always like to try something new on the menu and there recommendations. Always love paring a wine and just enjoying the ambiance. Thank You and can’t wait to go again.

Your best bet here is to get the steaks. Wonderful service and the food was delicious!

Perfect food, service and ambiance…as always

Fantastic experience from beginning to end. Wide variety of beef options, all grilled perfectly tender and delicious. Live music was delightful. Service excellent. Wine selection overwhelming. Sommelier was great at helping us pick the right sequence of wines.

Excellent service as well as excellent food!!

Food & wine was absolutely spectacular, cannot say enough good things about this place

5 steaks, 3 were just OK, one so-so, one inedible. Starters included empanadas which were so tiny one bite and it was gone. Bill was $100 plus, EACH. And that was with minimum alcohol. Noise level (inside) was horrendous, including the unnecessary accordian player -- atmosphere is one thing but when it makes conversation impossible it is simply a nuisance. We found ourselves involuntarily shouting at each other. Will never go back, there are better places for steak in town (steaks were why we were there) and though we didn't order them, their pasta entrees are no different than dozens of other restaurants.

When it comes to meat, very few places in town can give completion to Carlito’s. Pure carnivore heaven all the way around, pleasant atmosphere, great selection of wines, if you want to feel you took a flight to Buenos Ires without leaving kid angekes than this is the place for you .

The best steak I have ever tasted. Fantastic wine selection. Our server was so personable and friendly. Wonderful experience.

Fantastic evening!

A truly amazing wine list to complement superbly prepared food

Excellent food, intimate and safe patio, great servers.

I would rate it 10 stars if I could. Best dining experience I’ve had in a long time

It was a great experience with good food and amazing service.

The food, the wine, the service were outstanding as always!

Carlitos is always a wonderful & enjoyable dining experience! Alex is an excellent server and extremely knowledgeable about foods & wines. Gerard is also a terrific host and excellent business owner. Carlitos is a great place to dine!

Amazing food and service. Wine pairings were incredible.

Excellent service and amazing food! Loved every second of it.

Love everything about that place.
For and service and amazing

The service was good, wish we could have dined indoors, our meal tasted terrific, felt that the meal was overpriced for the portion that was served.

Disappointed this time around. My other dining experiences here were terrific.

Everything was perfect from food service and wine

If you want to pay $200 per person and still leave hungry - this is the place!

A little on the pricey side. Very good food and service.

Celebrated my birthday at Carlitos Gardel. The restaurant is so charming, the food is excellent and the staff are all awesome. This place is a gem!

Carlitos Gardel is a picture perfect experience from start to finish. You are taken care of the moment you walk in and throughout the entirety of the night. The food is second to none. We got the gnocchi special as an appetizer followed by their staple skirt steak.

The ambience at Carlitos is second to none. If you want great international music played from a world class accordionist, look no further.

We absolutely loved this restaurant! The food was amazing and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. We also appreciated the COVID protocols followed, our temperatures were taken at the door. We look forward to visiting again soon!

I enjoyed my experience here, every one was nice and the food was delicious

PHENOMENAL! I was left speechless!!

Great service like always , always a pleasure

Amazing time with family, thanks to great service and food

It’s just that you have to enter/exit the restaurant from the alley which is really dark after sunset. Not safe. Overrated.

We decided to go to Carlitos for my husband's birthday this week. We figured on a Thursday it would be quiet which was nice. Our service was absolutely excellent-I unfortunately did not catch our sever's name, nor for the host or the other workers-they were all lovely!

The food was good in general, but none of us felt our steaks were worth the price or anything to write home about. My brother in law ordered the ribeye cap, and my husband and I split the 40oz ribeye-it was small. And yes, I know steaks shrink when they cook but this was extremely significant shrinkage. With the incredible ratings Carlitos had, this was a bit less than anticipated.

The garlic fries were delicious, as was the buratta special they had that evening. We went elsewhere for dessert as we had already discussed other plans, but the dessert options did look delicious. Also the chimichurri was excellent-I would put that on everything if I could!

We’ve been dining at Carlitos for 25 years. Amazing restaurant w the most wonderful people/owners. The food is absolutely delicious every time. The service is perfect. The atmosphere is beautiful. I highly recommend dining there. One of my favorite restaurants of all time!!

Steaks and empanadas were really tasty. Service was slow with a capital S. Had to flag down the waiter for just about everything. Also, the port o potty bathroom situation is disgusting. They can do better.

Charm of a daily family restaurant. Excellent service and food is exceptional. Looking forward to returning.

Great service, attentive servers and bussers. The host was very polite a sociable. Overall a perfect experience.

We had a great time. Fantastic steak, great service, and appropriate ambiance.

First, to sit outside, you have to walk around the block to sit outside, down a dark alley and ring a doorbell to get in?? Really? Second, the male waiters, all suited up like they just left work from an office, are not attentive, must be waved down, never ask if everything is ok, take the order and must to have a smoke. The busboy is the busiest employee there. The "host" who greets you could be used since he isn't busy to walk around checking happiness.

The food is just average, nothing special. The penne with angus beef (not much of it) uses cumin which not everyone likes that musty smell or taste.

Pricing is high for the "return on investment." I would not go there again or recommend anyone else. BTW, only have beer and wine, no liquor, which is odd.

Perfect for date, special occasion, anniversary, etc. no question…best restaurant in all of LA…probably west coast! Food is extraordinary! Service is superb! Ambiance is wonderful! Can’t say enough good things about the family-owners. We can’t imagine a week without dinner at Carlitos.
