It takes a certain level of confidence to take over a
storied space and make it as your own. While many
mourned the closing of Rivera, Broken Spanish is a case
study in making such a strong impression, people will
soon forget what preceded it. A great restaurant delivers in three ways: food, space and service. Ray Garcia is
a chef who knows what he is doing, applying his classic
training to the selection, preparation and presentation
of essential Latin recipes with innovative, top drawer
ingredients. The result is a celebration of flavor and
texture. The venue is the interior design equivalent to
of chef Garcia’s approach to cuisine -- taking familiar
elements but blending them in an utterly original way
to create an inviting and intriguing experience. The
warm welcome, quick seating and the informed guidance of the wait staff seals the deal. While many of the
restaurants adjacent to LA Live serve as pre or postevent dining, a meal at Broken Spanish is the event.
Now about the cow in the men’s room.
