Tapas on Gourmand Syndrome

Smoke.Oil.Salt

Smoke.Oil.Salt is another one of those many tapas shareable places that has been popping up all over Los Angeles. Unlike the other restaurants I’ve been to in the past few months, this is Spanish style featuring some traditional spanish dishes. It was surprisingly good.

This is #23 of 52 of my 2014 LA food expedition.

Note for 2022 migration: this is an old post from my other defunct blog. This restaurant unfortunately is now closed.

It was my cousin’s birthday, so she wanted to try this place because of all the rave Yelp reviews. Took the train to downtown LA and then hiked about a mile to this place. I hadn’t seen any of the reviews yet, but I personally take Yelp reviews like a grain of salt because from past experiences my palette seems to be very much different than the majority (or maybe it’s just that I’m picky?). I jumped into this restaurant without much thought, so let’s see what came out of it.
