Otoño
Included In
Otoño in Highland Park is a great place to kick off a night of bar hopping on Figueroa, preferably with one of their goblet-sized gin tonics. The tapas at this modern Spanish restaurant can be hit or miss, but there are notable wins, like garlicky gambas worth ordering twice and a simple, delicious pan de tomate with a thick layer of tomatoey pulp. Still, the main event of an evening at Otoño is their paella with premium socarrat— the crispy, toasty edges of rice that Spaniards obsess over. There are a few styles to choose from, but we love the mariscos paella with big prawns and a dollop of aioli that moistens the rice’s crust.
