Hidden gem. Hole in the wall. How the lines aren't out the door like other L.A. hotspots like Howlin Rays befuddles me. I've been coming here for years, and Im always still in awe of how good the breads and meats are. The empanadas are fresh and hot. They have maybe 7 different fillings, some vegetarian, some meats. I got a spinach one and a beef one. Both were amazing. The fresh bread they serve with the olive oil mix is hot and crisp on the outside, steaming soft on the inside. Onto the main course. They have a tablesized charcoal platter with mixed grilled meats. There are several options for 2+ servings. I picked the mixed grill that was around $45 that included Short rib steak like the 3 eye slices you get at Korean BBQs, a flank steak like they serve at Brazilian BBQs, and blood sausage, pork, and pork sausage , and some intestine that is actually really tasty. The meats are very high quality. The flank is so tender and juicy, it rivals any steak this side of the Pacific ocean. It's amazing how a lean piece of meat is this good. The short rib steaks are cut thick, much thicker than any Korean BBQ I've ever been to. Once again, top notch. The blood sausage works really well with a side of rice, as does the intestine. Both things I normally don't eat, but I eat them here. The pork slices are kind of a throw in, and I'd use them as filler if you're still hungry. With bread, sides, and appetizer, this easily serves 4. If you're focused on meat and meat alone, a 2some will leave absolutely stuffed. A+++
