After LACMA and the La Brea Tar Pits on Saturday, I took the fam to see The Grove. Naturally, thankfully, there was some shopping beforehand and I actually squeezed some money out of my dad. Yay! But old people get hungry and they offered to go to a vegan place but since we would have to dive, I figured it would be best to try out the farmer's market and head somewhere nice for dinner. We wandered through it a few times over (showed them the Brazilian Steakhouse place that always has a line around the corner) and dad finally chose this spanish place.
I told him I'd look at the menu and see if it worked for me, otherwise I would head somewhere else and bring my food to them. But, no worries, they made it easy for me!
The food was nothing spectacular, honestly. I really appreciated that they had a vegan option (only in California, huh) but it wasn't the most delicious thing ever, I actually thought it was a little bland. Maybe that's because I'm not used to paella and expected something more like jambalaya, but I just didn't love it. Also, it was huge - not something I was looking for at 1 pm. Elisa and dad got smaller tapas plates, but most of them had meat or cheese in them so that wasn't an option for me. I'd still go back if my friends were interested.s
For reference, it's located in the back corner of the market when you've entered from the old gas station. Head past the popcorn and dried fruit stand, the tea stand, and its basically behind the French crepe restaurant.
