"Top Chef: All Stars’ Amar Santana opened this sleek Spanish hideaway in 2016 inside the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center. Aged steaks hang from illuminated cases as if perched in a sleek showroom. For lunch, the lamb burger is punched up with feta, sumac onion, and red pepper jam. Those looking for paella will find options with saffron-hinted bomba rice. But the sharable tapas are the most fun. The chef’s snacks rotate often, but the creamy chicken croquettes and warm pulp with fingerling potatoes drizzled in Spanish olive oil remain mainstays since it opened." - Jenn Tanaka
