Hits the spot! A little piece of Spain in California. They offer a very good selection of imported and local food products from Spain. Don't forget to grab a bocadillo or bocata on your way out to enjoy in their little terrace with a cold soda or a cold Estrella Galicia

We make an annual trip here from the Central Coast to stock our pantry with our favorite Spanish foods: great selection of wines, sherries and olive oils; excellent options of chocolates (inc. chocolate figs), marzipan, crackers, olives, tinned seafood, cheeses, spices (good buy on saffron), paella rice (Dacsa brand and Bomba), dried Spanish beans, cured meats and fresh sausages. Plus, our big favorite: Vichy Catalan water!!!

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.

🇪🇸 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?
