Malbec Market

Malbec Market is a sandwich counter and hot food bar in Eagle Rock that encourages people to sit down with a glass of wine instead of frantically running out the door with a chopped salad in hand. The choripan on baguette is our go-to sandwich with its sharp provolone and chimichurri sauce, but we’re also huge fans of their pulpo con chorizo. This grilled octopus comes tender and nicely charred with a smoky chorizo ragu coating the whole dish. The entraña al Malbec is also delicious, with a thick, agrodolce wine sauce slathered all over the skirt steak. This sauce won’t necessarily replace that lunchtime glass of red, but it’s close enough.
