"When a bar predates color TV and is still packed all day, you know it must be good. That’s the case with La Espiga, which opened in 1928 and is currently run by the fourth generation of the founding family. It’s located on a pedestrian shopping street that includes the world’s busiest Zara (don’t let that deter you), and it’s usually packed with both locals and tourists who all have a glass of wine in one hand and a pintxo in the other. Be sure to order the specialty, la delicia, a toast of cured anchovy with hard-boiled egg, vinegary onions, and a dollop of mayonnaise (get it with a splash of Worcestershire). And definitely try one of the fried bites, like veal with cheese, meat-stuffed peppers, and lamb brain that’s marinated, battered, and served piping hot." - Marti Buckley

Called to get a quote for an event as they post on their social media that they do catering events. Spoke with Ruben. He took my info down and said he would get back to me with a quote. Never received it. Followed up with him again via text asking for the quote. Still no answer 2 days later. Unprofessional.

Closed earlier than posted, got there at 6:36 p.m. even though it says that it closes at 7, and it was all closed.

This business should be more considerate. Not only the cashier has a smug attitude at times but their hours of operation are different from their info online. I drove 30 minutes to this place only to find out it was closed and I made it minutes after the handwritten posted sign on the door and they stood there ignoring me. I guess they don’t care enough.

HORRIBLE customer service. Walked in and there was no line. Just a couple waiting on their items. I wasn’t greeted but the 3 employees saw me and ignored me. Not even a “Ahorita la atiendo/i’ll be right with you”. So I stood in line in front of the register for about 10 minutes waiting for someone to take my order. Nada. Decided to leave because i’m not there for free food. I’d rather make the long line at la michoacana where customer service never fails. There’s absolutely nothing special about their food items/drinks. I came here because I live around the corner but i’d rather make the drive across town to La Michoacana or for bomb esquites at Las Palmas. The 5 star reviews mentioning great service are probably their own family members. To the owner: WORK ON YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE!

I give this a 1 star because the hot chetos aren't even hot chetos it's powder and the corn tastes like it's from a can. If you eat this it's a waste of money and when I asked for the hot cheto corn on a stick they said that they didn't even have the corn on the stick.

The place is fantastic don't get me wrong but the lady that works there in the is slow she was taking to me while she was getting my order she answered the phone which I see it's rude then ask me again what was my order And plus she didn't made what I asker her for :/ So yeah the customer service sucks but everything else is pretty good

Run into this location by IG advertisement. Looked so good, I decided to go grab dessert. Unfortunately, I think I went on a bad day, not sure. Had high expectations. Ordered their fresas con crema and their garafa nieve. The lime one was very bitter, like they included the lemon peels when making it. The strawberries were sour, so I didn't enjoy it. So, unfortunately, I didn't personally like it. On the positive side the staff was nice and welcoming.

Muy buen servicio. Raspados super ricos. Recomiendo el raspado de coco, los esquites y los tostilocos muy recomendado.

Was in the neighborhood after a failed food venture & was literally starving . Stopped by here really quick because I thought I need something in me before I drive back home . Got myself a Chocomilk licuado, super cheap , super quick service ! Glad I was able to find them cause gosh driving back to Long Beach & still having to wait for food would have been a bummer! Smoothie was delicious , everything was so clean in here . Really was tempted to buy some chips cause they have the lemon & hot sauces out for you to pour your way but not smart to put in an empty belly LOL. Will be back here if in the area , they were stocked up with fresh fruits & everything ! They're in a small plaza , parked right in front !

I come for the jugo verde but honestly I can't justify the price because most of the drink is foam instead of juice. It doesn't come in a smaller size than 24oz and I wish it did. Service was friendly and the inside has a couple chairs and tables.

Açaí Bowls - Smoothies- Fresas con Crema- Jugos Everything I have ordered here has been great! Fresh and natural ingredients used. If you are looking for a fresh snack this is your spot!

Great tasting food and quality service. They allow you to taste samples before getting your ice cream.

at first when we would go it was amazing! Never had anything wrong, the workers were so kind and helpful. The ambiance is clean and the food was great. Today is probably the one time we HATED IT & service wasn't good. Today is probably the tenth time we've gone and like I said we always have a great experience. I walked in a decided to have it to go, so I told the young worker 3x that it is to go! Last time I had asked one worker if she can please put the chips on the side & she said no need to bring it up, that it's an automatic when it's to go. So when I saw the 2 workers today putting them together and as if it's for there. I asked hey it's to go can they please be on the side, the lady in the back jumps in , in a HOSTILE tone. "You need to let us know" and I explained I did and what the other lady told me, she said "well the lady isn't here, we are and next time you should let us know." Terrible service let alone the other conversations going on, which isn't relevant to my situation but it just made the ambiance weird, and feel unfriendly. It could have been as simple as oh okay got it, next time just let us know, sometimes we forget. Not in an antagonizing tone which I'm sure she did because I look 18. I genuinely felt like asking for my money back. Now trying the food, the chips are soggy because she didn't change it on one, and they skimped it out. Tastes different. Getting one star because I can't put 0.

Great place! Friendly vibe everything is clean and prepared fresh on the spot. They have everything you can think of from elotes, bionicos, jugos and everything in between.

Andrea G.

Yelp
we come here often since we live up the street but every time without a fail the service is bad. i can be the only person there and my order will take 25 min. plus when you're ordering they look at you like they have no idea what you're saying. we stopped coming

Karla R.

Yelp
The hospitality is top notch. A young man helped me and his customer service skills impressed me. We need more people like that in the world. The bionico, vampiro and ginger shot were delicious too. Highly recommend this place.

I used to love coming here but the old guy in the front my gosh rude much So I came I was the FIRST customer KEEP IN MIND and that's when people started and tell me why I got my order last but the other ppl before me did either you asking for an ass beat or my business isn't welcome here anymore so why not both

Tayler B.

Yelp
The food is so good. I love the strawberry smoothie as well as the elotes in the cup with takis on top. They are also so friendly and just have the best service. It takes a little while to make but it is comforting to know that everything is made to order and is fresh.

Yessenia L.

Yelp
Everything is delicious !! This place is always very clean when I go . You have to try the elotes they are addicting !

Dominique P.

Yelp
Used to be my favorite spot but not as good as they used to be. Service extremely slow and the guy can sometimes be rude. I missed my bus and decided to go get a smoothie until the next one arrived. The line was pretty short only one couple ahead of me but the wait took about 30 min because every time someone came in their orders were fulfilled. How are you completing other orders while you have customers waiting on there's? Even if it is esquite or ice cream, is it not first come first served? Then not to mention my smoothie was made with some high fructose artificially flavored goop and ice. It tasted like an icee. It melted extremely fast and you can tell there was no yogurt or milk or anything (Pineapple smoothie). Save your time and money and go to Tropical Paradise nearby

Marisela R.

Yelp
I was coming here often because I love the outward cleanliness and good quality products. Unfortunately the dark skin old lady that works here gets upset if you use the restroom. Also witness her and another lady talking smack about a customer who steeped into the restroom because she asked that they change their gloves after handling the money. Which is UNDERSTANDABLE!!!! Cochinas. Once the lady was out the restroom they acted so nice towards her the hypocrites. A little over priced too in my opinion for a damn elote. If it weren't for the attitudes of these two women, I wouldn't even car

Vane V.

Yelp
I live near by I would always go here to buy the bionico tostilocos ! But man the old lady and one of the guys there they are so dam rude ! Never going back again ! Very bad rude customer service

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this place! I came here about two weeks ago and have been coming almost everyday since. The hot cheetos corn is amazing and the fruit smoothie? My favorite! Haven't had one as good as this, it taste like all fruits nothing added. It's delicious! My kids are hooked

Zaira F.

Yelp
To start the antojitos (desserts or snacks for not Spanish speakers) are pretty delicious, you can always call ahead and make your order for a pick up if you are in a rush. To not forgery to mention the amount they give for the prices they have it's pretty good. The staff it's pretty friendly and they always help you the best way they can with a nice and sincere smile on their face. Got to love they accept cash and card for all those no cash people like me

Jessica R.

Yelp
Delicious esquites made with flaming hot chips and also the Raspados are good a lot of desserts to chose from.

Karen V.

Yelp
My favorite antojitos spot. My go to is the Hot Cheetos esquite, fresas con crema with the pink crema, and the green juice. AMAZING! Always super great service.

Alexus B.

Yelp
Not too happy with the service , didn't feel welcome first of all but I decided to give it a chance anyway , people that came after me orders were filled before mines . I won't be back I will stick to my local Elote man who wants my buisness! Wouldn't recommend

Tiphany M.

Great place!! HotCheeto corn is the best! I recommend this place over any in the surrounding cities .

I am little disappointed. FirsT time Going and although closing time is 10, they told me it was closed at 8:30. Very unprofessional

Robert H.

Yelp
The staff is super friendly. They're elotes are delicious! I have been coming here for a while now, but the service today was extra good that I was like dude this deserves a review. My order was a big one since I was taking some elotes, ice cream, and some other antojitos for my family and my relatives that came to visit from Mexico. They managed to get my order done fast and kept a really good attitude. This place is just bomb! In both flavor, quality, and customer service. Very satisfied.

J R.

Yelp
Would give it 5 stars because the Hot Cheetos Esquite is delicious! The only thing stopping it from a star is that there is no phone number, schedule, or debit/credit card services. It's a bummer having to drive out there to find out it is closed. Other than that, this is the spot for bomb grouchy food!

Celeste V.

Yelp
They have Hot Cheeto elotes along with esquites! Their elotes are amazing along with their Fresas con Crema! Definitely recommend

Jocelyn I.

Yelp
I was looking for a place where the had esquite with hot Cheetos and came across La Espiga and since it was the nearest one to me I went and let me tell you! I got their esquire with hot Cheetos and a chamango and it was delicious! Staff was friendly and it was done fast, will definitely be going back!

Krystal R.

Yelp
Discovered this place today!! Absolutely delicious!! I had the orange carrot juice and it's amazing. Also the corn on the cob with Hot Cheetos is surprisingly to die for.

Adi T.

Yelp
Went specifically to try the Hot Cheeto corn stick, it was was okay not big deal. On the other hand, my friend ordered a Chamango which she really liked.

Amorjah N.

Yelp
First time here. Went specifically for the elote. It was so delicious, especially with the hot cheetos. I will be coming back to try more menu items and of course for another elote.

Breanna M.

Yelp
Came here on a Friday night at 8pm because I saw this was the closest place to me who has the esquite with hot Cheetos. Hours say they closed T 9. When we got there all the chairs were up and the floor was being mopped. They said they were open but were not serving esquite anymore. Ugh! What's the point in having a food establishment if you stop serving food and start cleaning up an hour early. They were not welcoming nor friendly at all. Wanted to try this place but not anymore!

Vero H.

Yelp
Both are good and a must try if you're here. Parking can get limited during busy times. The place is fairly new. Big selection of typical "bionico type" items.

Abigail M.

Yelp
This spot can satisfy most cravings. So far I've tried their strawberries and cream, bionico's, raspados, nachos, smoothies, green smoothie and if you stop by you can't miss their delicious home made papas. Everything I've tried is delicious. Employees are really nice, they treat customers with respect. Definitely recommend this spot. I also want to mention that they Do NOT water down their green smoothies like other places that I've been to. You will definitely find something to satisfy any craving, from healthy options to sweet tooth options or just something with a little spicy kick. Try their Chile that they have for fruit it's a special one that they make, I like to add it to my chips too, just be careful it's spicy.

Brody W.

Yelp
This place has really good food and it's pretty cheap. The only bad thing is that it is hard to find because Raspa-2 isn't the actual name of the store.

Esmeralda C.

Yelp
I guess I gave 3 stars because they had amazing customer service. The cashier that helped me was really nice. So here's the thing these hot cheeto corns have been the highlight for quite some time now and I expected so much more. If I'm not mistaken the corn has mayo chetoo crumbs and butter. Not my cup of tea it needs the cheese, but if you get the esquite I think it does have cheese. I found the corn on the cob bland and greasy to be honest. I also got fresas con crema and I found it really sweet to my liking. Will I return again? No but once again they were really nice so I do appreciate it

I was asked to sit, since they were finishing other orders. Someone, walks up to the counter and they were ready to help them, until I spoke up and said I was next. He rushed me through my order. Bad customer service.

Sam C.

Yelp
Best spot in paramount for a smoothie, raspado, or Mexican treat!! Great customer service and never a long wait. Never disappointed with their service!

Monica G.

Great customer service. Cashier was very helpful, informative & polite. Variety of choices & delicious treats.

Heriberto A.

Came here for the first time and it now has become my favorite place. The esquite here are the best I've tried.

Shay S.

Yelp
I was calling to ask about their operation hours and the guy just hung up the phone before I even got to ask, just because I was speaking in English. I think it is beyond rude to just click while a person is speaking. Clearly, I'm not interested in going if they can't have proper customer service skills if NOT on the phone, imagine in person too. Simple advice. Don't put a non-English speaking person on the phone to answer general calls. And have them hang up on customers who are actually willing to go check out the business. Must fix this. It's unprofessional! It's very disappointing.

Maura M.

Yelp
Terrible. Sadly I can't even comment on the menu. I called three times to ask for there business hours and the young lady just hangs up after she says hello. I asked her why did she keep hanging up, apparently it's the wrong number...

Diana V.

Yelp
The food is really good but the service not so much. I went earlier this week their credit card machine was broken and the guy was even rude about it. I went today again at 6, they were closed when it said they close at 9

Cristina Q.

Yelp
I love this place food is good and the people are fast, And they're really polite. The place is super clean. I just wished I could order through the phone because there is a phone number and every time I call they never answer and they let it go to voicemail, I live so far and I go all the way to paramount to get stuff so I wish while I drove, my order could be getting ready. But the food fruit and everything has been so delicious!One thing is not a big deal but I would preferably like my fruit be cut evenly. Not in one HUGE piece and another super tiny. It's not a big deal but it's kinda weird looking lol. But I really like it so definitely going back!

I was driving and i was in the mood for a fresh juice so i decided to stop here because it was the first place i saw. The location is presentable and clean but the only employee working at the time (9/6/19 9:00AM) was completely useless. I came in, stood there watching her was dishes patiently waiting for help. Literally in her own world until finally i was able to get her attention. She tells she'll be right with me but yet, she continues to wash dishes? As a customer, dishes shouldn't be more important than being attentive to YOUR customers. I asked her if we can create our own drink, she says yes, cool. I tell her i just want carrot, orange, ginger and she looks at me dead in the face telling me that she doesn't have carrots but as I'm looking behind her there is a huge tub of carrots ? Umm ok you don't have carrots ? Fine, just give me ginger and orange. She looks at me like I'm talking a foreign language and tells me with the funkiest face that i should add something else to it. At this point I'm confused.. but waitttttt, their is moreeeee, her personal phone starts ringing and she answers it in the middle of taking my order !!! She literally told me " I'll be right with you" and continues her conversation. LOL at this point i just walked out and left. The owner of this business needs to desperately retrain, replace, idk w/e, idc they lost my business anyway

Karla F.

Yelp
So far flavor and portions have been consistent. My husband and I love going for the esquite it's so delicious and u know it's fresh too!!! Their raspados are also really good !!! This is a good place to go when u have a craving for a Mexican treat!!! There's a lot of other delicious things I haven't tried but am sure my little family will soon!!!

KcAndMe B.

I love coming here. My go to favorite is the açaí bowl with peanut butter. And their esquite with hot cheetos.

This place needs some attention! I stumbled over it looking for elotes and oh my! Their elotes with the cheetos are delicious!! Fruits are fresh!! Definitely will be coming back for more!!!
