La Española Meats, Inc

We visited La Española Meats today, and it was like being transported straight to Spain. They have everything you could possibly dream of when it comes to authentic Spanish flavors—an incredible selection of imported goods alongside locally produced meats and specialties. The food served on-site is outstanding, especially the perfectly cooked paella and a variety of traditional tapas. If you love Spain, this place is a must-visit. The staff and the owner are truly lovely—welcoming, friendly, and passionate about what they do. An unforgettable experience!

Definitely a great import shop. In a very hidden little street off of a very busy street is this gem. They have amazing imports, amazing sausages they make in house, and great sandwiches they make are so good. This place is worth going to. I recommend it to all my friends. Will definitely continue to keep coming back.

I miss my travels to Spain & Portugal. This is the place I go to have a taste of what I miss. From the paella to everything wine, ham, cheese, canned goods and cookies. To shampoo & baby cologne. Best kept secret in town. Don’t miss Saturday Paella they run out fast!

If you’ve had authentic Spanish food you won’t be satisfied with this. The biggest dissapointment was the tortilla - it was frozen! They took it out of a box and just heated it in the microwave. Incredibly dry and essentially unedible. In Spain, you will NEVER be served boxed/frozen tortilla at a restaurant. The sandwiches were okay. They were not generous with the meats and they were pricey ~ $9. Churros and especially the chocolate were probably the best bite we had.

Great Spanish products distribuitor. They have a nice gourmet store selling cheese, charcuterie, spives and paella pans.

🇪🇸 SPAIN Excerpt from Eat the World Los Angeles: Despite only taking up a very small percentage of the overall building, the market at La Española is overwhelming the first time you open the door. A gift to lucky citizens of Southern California, a wonderland of everything Spanish you could want. The shelves are lined with bottles of wine from every region of Spain, big jars of capers and olives, and boxes of Spanish tortas to start. Beyond this, you cannot enter the factory of course, but most of the dried and cured offerings are in the refrigerated case for all to buy. Cheeses and beers are in another. But behind all this is something even more amazing, the employees beyond are hurried in the back, putting together orders for pickup and takeout, for there are many prepared foods you can come here for as well. Saturdays are busiest here at the market because of the availability of many different paellas. A tented area seats people and parties in better times, but even before the pandemic a paella to go would be served in a styrofoam container. Some may consider this "truck stop" paella, but there is a charm to getting such quality fare from a gas station, no?

If you are looking for salvation then you have found the place. This weekday-wholesaler-cum-weekend-restaurant is simply fantastic. Love cured Meats? Done. Want to drink quality Sangria for $6 on a Sunday morning? You got it. Never had a churro with olives? It's your world. Come experience La Española meats and everything in life will be all right.

Very good music, chocolate churros, paella. What more do you want ?
