Súper auténtico vibes. Great prices for Spanish food and they have a great selection of Spanish beers including my favorite 1925 Alhambra. Not gourmet but that’s not what it’s about

I have visited and tasted most Spanish food restaurants from San Diego, Valentina in Oceanside, Sevilla in Riverside (moved), Long Beach, La Catalana a in Santa Clara to Telesferic Barcelona.,.. all great ... Hands down no one beats the Paella made at La Española meats... I mean no one. I have validated this year after year. You should try it... specially the House Paella... 5 Stars.

Their shipment and tracking is a complete mess, and under no circumstance would I recommend spending money with them.First, their stated breakdown of "perishable/non-perishable" at checkout was completely inaccurate for my order and stated that only two chorizos would be sent by second day air with the rest, including ham pieces, sent as standard.This wound up not being true and over 200 dollars of meats were sent 2 day with no shipment notification (not even in the junk folder which they have issues with due to spamming multiple emails), no tracking number, and and no signature so it rotted in my mailroom until I got the delivery notification for the "non-perishable" goods.This is the worst experience I've ever had buying perishable goods and I will be going with Tienda from now on as overpriced as they are.

Call a day before or Sat AM to reserve Paella before driving.They have Jamon Ibirico in the freezer & counter.Bocadillo de la Casa sandwich is phenomenal.It was my first time to go today. I did call the day before but was not informed to reserve a Paella order so it was gone by the time I got there after lunch.

I have bought a couple of times online from Spain, to give as gifts to friends who live in California and everything has gone very well, the last time a couple of weeks ago.
They have a good variety, they also helped me with the choice of wine and answered my questions very quickly on WhatsApp. They were very very kind and the delivery was fast (and we must consider that it is Christmas) and careful, everything was very well packaged to prevent anything from breaking and with a card with a personalized message.
Payment is also easy from Spain and, without a doubt, when I return to give something to my friends in the USA, what better than a little piece of Spain.
In short, good products, good service and very kind people.

I'm from Spain,as are the wonderful owners, this is the ONLY authentic market in S. California that has TRULY Spanish (not like most other Hispanic markets lump together products from other Hispanic countries which claiming to be "Spanish")La Española Meats produces a diverse assortment of AUTHENTIC in-house made NON-spicy Spanish varieties of chorizos/cured sausages which tasteEXACTLYlike the various Spanish regional varietiesThey also are a small market that carries many imported ready to eat traditional items cheeses, paella specific rice varieties, canned seafood, bottles tapas, along with ingredients to enjoy and make many regional dishes.A great selection of regional Spanish wines, etc. SADLY, their paella is unexpectedly ...ATROCIOUS, despite the owners being from Valencia, because it is mushy and bland lacking in authentic flavor . Paella is my favorite dish which I've enjoyed deliciously prepared countless times in restaurants and ESPECIALLY as the main meal prepared at home or by friends each time I'm back in Spai The only possible explanation would be that since the staff is predominantly not from Spain,they do their best to reproduce the recipe...which having the Spanish owners on site seems like a lack of quality control .The SPANISH churros (without sugar or cinnamon) are authentic as is the HEAVENLY thick TRUE hot chocolate which is a traditional breakfast item. I actually prefer the delicious Mexican variety with sugar and loads of cinnamon though I'd have to bring my own ready spice mix .FYI heavenly Spanishhot chocolate(cocoa) is a T-H-I-C-K luxuriously velvety elixir same as the FrenchLe Chocolat Chaud, ItalianCioccolata Calda, and Portuguese Cacau Quente recipes that is made with solid chocolate, whole milk/cream(NEVER water)and a touch of sugar, cornstarch, and often a dash of vanilla.We can the "Swiss Miss" varieties "DIRTY dishwater" I'm droolingnow and so will YOU once you stop by and enjoy a "trip to Spain" here at La Español

This is what I love about being in Los Angeles!!!You can find the best places hidden away in the most unique places!!The last Saturday of the month, there is FLAMENCO show from 12-2pm. Come early to a table. Get some paella, tapas, churros etc. While you wait!!! There's also a market. Do some shopping!!! Lots of good things!!!They have wine, imported olive oil, olives, caviar, candy, sweets & meats all imported from Spain!!! You have to get the "JAMON". It's worth it!!!! And don't forget the baguette!!!!!They have a cute patio area to sit & enjoy the show!

The store is a delight and is run by the kindest, most helpful team of people. Pricing is low and selection is broad and plentiful. A wonderful surprise! So glad a friend recommended I come here.
