Spanish Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“Great food as usual and every time we come we have an excellent service. Love coming here!!!!“

“Great Mediterranean food experience, great wines and good presentation“

“We had a wonderful time. We kicked off my hubby's birthday with great food, wonderful vibes and incredible service!! My husband could not stop raving about the eggs! We literally came back for the biscuits. I hate that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was so sweet and attentive. She was also kind enough to bring us a complimentary round of champs and mimosas!! This is our second time coming in and the service is not only consistent, it keeps getting better!“

“Best food in town and sports merchandise“

“The prawns were incredibly fresh, with absolutely no fishy smell. The sauce had the savory aroma of dried shrimp, with a hint of sour and spicy flavor, like a Spanish version of ceviche. A bite of shrimp followed by a bite of crispy potato created a wonderfully rich texture.“

“a cozy ambient venue for intimate concert setting!“

“My entire experience was extremely disappointing. The bartender was rude and demonstrated a complete lack of customer service from the moment my guest and I sat at the bar. We were not greeted at all. When we asked about drink options and specials, she immediately rang up the order and shoved the handheld payment device in our faces without explaining that payment was required upfront or offering any communication whatsoever.

When we attempted to get her attention afterward, she brushed us off repeatedly. The food that arrived was burnt and tasted terrible. When we asked to speak with a manager, we were told that they did not speak English, which was both frustrating and unacceptable.

The only person who showed any level of professionalism or care was the security guard, who did his best to assist us. Ultimately, we received a refund and left.

As a restaurant consultant, I found this experience especially disheartening. I will not be returning, particularly if this bartender remains in place. Customer service, communication, and basic hospitality were entirely absent.“

“These empanadas are good! We had gone once before and my son was looking forward to getting these. No complaints on the taste! His favorite is the Philly cheesesteak. The shrimp one wad pretty good, just a little fishy but I thought it was still delicious. My only complaint was the rude customer service. We went in on 04/18 and when we got there the cashier was arguing with the 2 other guys there. Literally arguing! The cashier was so rude and unprofessional. He was so nice to the girl in front of me taking her order and then it was my turn and they just kept going and going. I stood there ready to get my order taken and they kept arguing. I think the cashier was rolling his eyes at the guys but he was literally taking orders and rolling his eyes. But, all in all, still good empanadas.“

“la comida es deliciosa y las meseras ni se diga... muy ..... amables“

“#1 Green salsa riquisimo very good and spicy
Enpanadas de camaron very good but I did expect some garnish or pico de gallo/lettuce on the side- presentation is a key too
I'll give a try again maybe fish taco or Tostada de Ceviche“

“This restaurant is by far the best I’ve ever been too. You walk in, you immediately greeted with the most amazing staff, they make you feel like family its so warm and inviting. The food was absolutely amazing! When food makes you feel something and gives you goosebumps it takes the experience to an entire new level. This is the only restaurant I will ever recommend. It’s was the most amazing experience with the most incredible food!“

“A hidden gem in the heart of Koreatown, Xecul offers a warm, authentic taste of Guatemala! My sister and I have visited twice, and as non-Latina/os, we were blown away by the kindness and hospitality—especially from the sweet and welcoming waitstaff (Anna is a highlight!). Knowing some Spanish helps (high school level + Google Translate worked fine for me), since the staff seems to speak primarily Spanish. Nonetheless, if you're willing to make the effort with rudimentary Spanish, the patient and friendly waiting staff should treat you fine.

The cozy, colorful space feels like a true local favorite, buzzing with regulars (including even charming musicians on the weekend). Standouts include the rich and savory pepián chicken, tender and delicious carne asada, and incredibly refreshing iced juices. Prices are slightly high, but completely fair for the high quality. If you're craving something off the beaten path and full of heart and decliciousness, Xecul is absolutely worth the detour.“

“All I can say is that this place is BOMB. They have EVERYTHING you can think of. From Smoothies, jugos naturales to dessert and hot food. I got the caldo de res con tortillas hechas a mano and it was delicious. I'll definitely come back.“

“One of the best Guatemalan restaurants in Los Angeles. The management ownership has run a business previously in Sherman oaks and now in Los Angeles providing good food and ambient today clientele. Great spot to try song Guate food and check out the live marimba band & more.“

“I had an event last week and order various items at Saritasl's pupuseria. I ordered pupusas: carne asada, chicken, shrimp, revueltas and they all tasted amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. My coworkers enjoyed the amazing tast. Thank you for the amazing service ❤️“
