Chef Ray Garcia Brought Broken Spanish Back to LA — Here's What We Thought

When the pandemic caused the original Broken Spanish to close, Los Angeles lost an absolutely outstanding restaurant. https://brokenspanishcomedor.comBroken Spanish Comedor continues the ‘authentically inauthentic’ philosophy of Chef Ray with a more approachable price point and clear nod to Mexico’s comedores: small, typically mom-and-pop restaurants and stalls serving home style cuisine. Chef Ray Garcia, a born and raised Angeleno, has triumphantly resurrected an evolved version of the original in the former A-Frame space in Culver City. The bar program is heavily tequila and mezcal based, with some premium Mexican wines available by the glass. With a brand new patio space and daily happy hour, Broken Spanish Comedor is a cozy, welcome return of an LA favorite.
