"Hidden on what’s essentially a San Vicente service road, you could live in Beverly Grove for years and not know about La Paella. A night at this family-run Spanish restaurant is like drinking tempranillo in an old tavern in Madrid, and the tapas menu features homey dishes you won’t find at modern spots. Here's where to should focus your attention: mini skillets of sizzling baby eels, paprika-tinged callos madrileños (tripe and chickpea stew), and a buttery-soft octopus swimming in good olive oil. Despite the restaurant's name, the paella here is only decent and a touch wet for our liking, but we appreciate that the warm staff serves it tableside (A nice touch).
