“This Mercado has so much to offer. Your pallet will not be disappointed with the many different restaurants you'll fine in here from some of the best see food to Oxacan food. Artesanias de Mexico are one thing you'll be thrill to find here.“
“One of my favorite restaurants in LA. The food is consistently great, the bar program is creative, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and fun (especially on the patio and at the bar). Unlike almost all restaurants serving small plates they do not make you order everything at once or rush out the food, so meals here feel luxuriously relaxed.You can't really go wrong with the menu but in particular do not miss the boquerones y mantequilla, which is a brilliant dish.“
“When the yearning for authentic Spanish cuisine beckons, "La Paella" emerges as a culinary beacon, brilliantly capturing the essence of Spain's rich gastronomic landscape. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us back to the vibrant streets of Spain, enveloped in warmth and the tantalizing aroma of spices.The service was nothing short of exemplary, with staff members who not only knew the menu inside out but also shared their enthusiasm for the flavors and traditions of their dishes. Each recommendation was spot on, adding to the overall delightful experience.The star of the evening was undoubtedly the squid ink paella. Its bold flavors and perfectly cooked seafood were a testament to the chef's mastery. Each grain of rice was infused with the deep, oceanic essence of squid ink, creating a dish that was as visually arresting as it was delectable. Every plate brought to our table was a hit, making it a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience for the whole family."La Paella" has certainly set a high standard for Spanish cuisine outside of Spain. It's a gem worth returning to, and we are already planning our next visit to delve deeper into the menu. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Spain, this is a place you won't want to miss.“
“After living in Spain for three years, it's difficult to find authentic Spanish food in the US. However, Teleféric exceeded all my expectations! The food was authentic and delectable, the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was darling. The paella was better than some I even had in Spain! Can't wait to visit again.“
“I just finished a review of San Laurel and wanted to do A shout out to this gem of a Bar. I will only be reviewing the bar at this point because I have not eaten here yet, as I said I just reviewed San Laurel because that's where we had just come from haven eaten most of their menu, we had fully intended on leaving. We stood at the elevator glancing to our left we noticed the bar at Agua Viva and decided we should take a look at it. Before we got there we were intercepted by a manager who couldn't have been more wonderful and helpful showing us around and telling us about the spot then offering perhaps a seat at the bar for which we gladly accepted. The bartenders again were perfect and accommodating. The drinks were all wonderful trying more then we should have but it was our anniversary and we did Uber there so believe me we paid for it the next day but we ended meeting most of the staff and talked to everyone, each person nicer then the next. Its a pleasure to have gone to both of these places on our special night, both places treated us like kings and I thank everybody we met and listened to us ramble on for hours. Thank you for making our day perfect I can't recommend San Laurel and Agua Viva enough!“
“I am beyond sad that Bar Moruno has closed. But I was overjoyed to be there on closing night and celebrate with the regulars that had packed the place to bid their farewells. I have eaten there countless times and was shocked to read that they were closing. It seemed to be packed every time i went so I am at a loss as to why they chose to cease operations.I decided to sit at the bar so I could socialize with the bartenders, all of which have been there pretty much since day one. My favorite cocktail is their coconut gin martini, an unforgettable mix of coconut gin, white vermouth, matcha tincture and celery bitters. I cannot get enough of this drink and, thankfully, one of the bartenders taught me how to make it so I can continue enjoying it at home. SCORE!!! I also ordered their radicchio salad which pairs nicely with the cocktail. The salad is huge in comparison to many of their other dishes so I was more than happy to share with those around me.It was a joyous occasion that night and I treasures spending time with so many other regular customers. But the highlight of the night goes to the bartenders who joined in the celebration as we bid adieu to an excellent bar and restaurant. Adiós Bar Moruno!! You will be missed.Cocnut“
“i tried the chicken empanada and my bf had the beef jalapeño empanada. both were good and were stuffed with the filling. i felt the chicken empanada was a tad dry though we came ~45min before they closed, so there wasn't much of a line. although they were closing soon, the empanadas still tasted pretty fresh“
“Hole in the wall spot for mariscos. I was in the mood for some ice cold micheladas and shrimp empanadas, which I've enjoyed in the past. Decided to dine in and had the 32 oz michelada, shrimp tacos, and molcajete de mariscos. You should order the molcajete anytime it's on the menu. It arrived with the oily broth bubbling over and stuff with octopus, mussels, shrimp, fish, and rice and garnished with 2 crab legs and a fried fish filet. This was sooo good but with the amount of oil, definitely something you eat once in a while. The michelada was good though I wasn't expecting a bottle upside down and inside my glass. I wouldn't order it like that again for hygienic reasons. The fish tacos were good but not what I was expecting as I thought I ordered the empanadas. Regardless of being served something else from what I thought I ordered, it was really good. Service is a bit slow but the ladies were nice and checked in on us. Not sure if there's a parking lot in the back but I always park on the street.“
“This place was really nice. We took the grandmas for a birthday dinner and they had a great time. Food was yummy. I think I would pass on the paella to be honest. It wasn't bad but paella should be a wet consistency and this one was dry. For 4 people and 1 glass of wine we spent about $350“
“When craving pupusas and pastelitos this is the place to go. Not too mention their " en salada " drink. So delicious!! I know times are hard for everyone but I appreciate them staying open specially right now that it's hot and I don't feel like cooking with this hot weather! They always have my food ready to go and it's always accurate. Thank you!!“
“I believe a 5 star rating is not good enough to describe how tremendously great this place is in every single way!The place itself is very neat! Very nice decorated and it even features music of Camilo Sesto. Hopefully sometime they'll play Sabina and Perales ? (j/k)The service is OUTSTANDING! That includes each and every single person who works in the place; kitchen, front, and one of the owners (a lady with glasses). They are VERY CARING about their customers! They always greet me with a smile and a welcoming attitude.The prices are decent, what I like the most are the portions they serve (very satisfying!)One time they made me wait (I didn't mind) and they gave me an empanada as a courtesy.Even though I live in Inglewood, this place is worth the trip, they made a new frequent customer.Congrats to everyone who works here!!“
“First time coming here. My mom ordered the mariscada, but she hardly liked it. The shrimp was kinda raw, and the soup didn't have much flavor. But everything else was good. I ordered plato de pollo with rice, fried platains, and beans super good. I totally recommend it.“

“STEPH JUDGEMENT: Charming atmosphere and good food, but slightly uneven service. We were staying at the hotel and decided to try it for breakfast. It had an adorable retro 1930s vibe going on, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered a coffee and their smoked salmon and latke (same as hash browns), and was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected poached egg. The hubby ordered two scrambled eggs and "cool ranch" hash browns (basically cool ranch dust). Everything was delicious, but after the server dropped off our food she was nowhere to be seen for a while, and it took some time to settle our bill. Luckily we weren't in a hurry, and I believe they had just opened, so I'm sure the service will improve as they get their bearings. I'd definitely like to try them again when next in the area.“
