Tapas, sort of

North Hollywood, November 3, 2012—

A LIGHT MIDDAY SUPPER today, since we have two plays to take in before bedtime. The lady in the box office recommended this place, calling it a tapas place. Not quite, but I see what she means.

My green salad was huge and tasty: chopped frisée and arugula, cotija and Mahon, pasilla and pepitas, and plenty of salt. Afterward, their version of a grilled ham and cheese: Mahon again — I do like that cheese — with ham, of course, and pickled jalapeños, on a toasted baguette, with beet and yam chips on the side. Crème catalan for dessert.

Sangria, then a Lustau oloroso
