Chef Garcia, is an amazing culinary talent and really shines at his latest place. An amazing meal, with great service and over the top zero proof cocktails. I could go on about rhe meal but you’re beat served if you go try it for yourself. I highly recommend it.

Broken Spanish is another great experience from Chef Ray Garcia. I never had the opportunity to visit the original but did have the opportunity to try one of the pop ups a couple years ago so I was excited to see a new permanent location. Everything was excellent from atmosphere, to service to food and drinks. There are a lot of upscale Mexican inspired restaurants all over the region but Broken Spanish definitely stands out. The tostada, tamal and ceviche were definite favorites, traditional choices prepared with creative ingredients. Prices were very reasonable and portions were just right Definitely worth a visit and I know I'll be back!

Chef Garcia has hit it on the head with this menu. Almost everything was stellar and the few misses were easily overshadowed by the hits. Extremely friendly wait staff from the FOH, to table and everyone in the kitchen looked happy as well. Morgan was out server age had a great sense of humor. Would have liked a more regular check in as we waited a bit when we wanted something, having to go find someone for requests is a tad annoying, which we had to do twice, but it was a busy evening. Not her fault for sure! The misses. Start with the tres leches dessert. Then order it again. Then make sure they have a few on standby for after the meal. Thank me later. Put better yet, leave one for me for a future pickup date. The albondigas was the sleeper hit at the table. Subtle flavors and really well done. The seafood soup and the barbacoa were the tied winners and they were both absolutely on point. The enchiladas were interesting as well with a very nice medley of flavors. The Cesar salad was nice but it was overly dressed. It's like they coated each leaf separately with the dressing, which was tasty! But a bit much. 😂 The refried beans were very ordinary as we're the tortillas so you can afford to pass on those. There were 5 of us and we were all very full by the end of this, more so as I had 3 of the tres leches. By my self. Whatever, judge me, I don't care! 🥰 All in all a very fun night, definitely recommend. 5 people, we spent about $125 pp with a drink and tip. I'll be back. For tres leches. If you liked my review please give me a thumbs up 👍🏾 to let me know! Follow me for more fun reviews. 🙏🏾

Amazing experience at Broken Spanish Comedor. Option for both indoor and outdoor patio seating. There is valet for the parking lot or street parking. Food was amazing. Highlights were the ceviche and chicharron. And the Caesar was also delish! The albondigas and ceviche both had a kick to them (but I’m the type that can’t handle super spicy well). The homemade tostadas that came with the ceviche were great but some were not as crispy as I usually like. Overall, excellent experience! Service was on top of it!

Broken Spanish Comedor is everything you want in a restaurant. From start to finish, you can feel the passion behind it. Chef Ray has created a modern Mexican spot that absolutely delivers on every level. Even though it was only their second night open, the service was excellent. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and excited to share recommendations. Chef Ray personally brought several dishes to our table -- such a cool touch. ------- Drinks Spicy Margarita - The salt foam on top is unreal and perfectly balanced. Destilando Amor - Smooth and flavorful with just the right amount of mezcal. And for LA, the prices are really reasonable -- a delicious margarita for $13! ------- Food Highlights Guacamole & Chips - Thick, crisp chips that taste double-fried, with a bright, citrusy guac. Ceviche - So fresh and clean with the perfect hint of heat. Albondigas (Duck & Bacon Meatballs) - Incredible flavor and a sauce you'll wish you could take home. Gluten-free, too. Ensalada César - Black garlic dressing, shaved parmesan, and amazing house-made croutons -- the star of the meal. Chamorro (Beef Shank) - Deep, rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor. ------- Five dishes for two was the perfect amount, though dessert would've been an easy "yes." Tip: Ask for the extra salsas -- they're delicious and spicy. If you're heat-sensitive, let your server know. Valet is $15, or try for a meter on Washington. Broken Spanish Comedor is a true gem for the Mar Vista / Culver City area. Great food, great service, and a chef who clearly loves what he's doing. Can't wait to go back.
