La Paella Review - Beverly Grove - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"Hidden on what’s essentially a San Vicente service road, you could live in Beverly Grove for years and not know much about La Paella. This family-run Spanish restaurant feels like you’re drinking tempranillo in an old tavern in Madrid, and the tapas menu is full of homey dishes you won’t find at modern spots. This is where you should focus your attention: mini skillets of sizzling baby eels, paprika-tinged callos madrileños (tripe and chickpea stew), and buttery-soft octopus swimming in good olive oil. Regardless of this restaurant’s name, the paella here is just ok and a touch wet for our liking, but we appreciate that the warm staff serve it tableside (A nice touch). " - Sylvio Martins
