This celebrity-backed L.A. outpost of a popular restaurant with locations in both Madrid and Ibiza sells mediocre Spanish food at cutthroat 90210 prices. Here, you will find a middling tortilla española with infusion of black truffle that couldn't save the dish if it tried, as well as a single $48 imported Spanish carabinero (prawn) on a mountain of avocado. The restaurant's cramped, loud interior atmosphere inside plays host to clout-chasers and the area's typical tryhard sportscar renters, with a designer bag-carrying clientele whose penchant for lip fillers and silicone indicate that Tatel is, indeed, a great fit for the neighborhood. Note: Despite the restaurant's continental origins, the Basque cheesecake is better at République on La Brea.
