Cobras & Matadors   

i'm not sure what all the hype is about on this place. the waiters were rude. the food came cold and we even had to send 1 thing back. the crowd was livly, but i'd rather have good food. i love medeterian food and will have to keep looking for a good one i guess.

I agree that most "Spanish" tapas places including Cobras aren't authentic. I was disappointed. I found truly authentic spanish tapas at the Courtyard in West Hollywood. It was the FIRST truly authentic Tapas place I have found in Los Angeles. Simply fanastic. And yes, the chef is from Spain.

It's amazing how most of spanish (from Spain) restaurants in LA put in the ad "real Spanish" when the food is not even close. I suggest to ask first if the chef is from Spain.
