i'm from los angeles, the land of many-a-radio maria - so really, i like radio maria because it feels like a slice of home. i've been three times so far, and frankly i have to say that nothing has blown me away, but everything i've had has been pretty damn solid.
first time i came for lunch, and had a portobella/goatcheese/pesto sandwich thing, and it was delicious. not very unique but good eats. i came for dinner the same night and enjoyed the pan seared peppercorn crusted tuna which again was not a unique dish by any means but solidly executed. i recently went back for the tapas - their piquillos rellenos were flavorful and the portobello entree was perfect. what i admire about the food here is that they aren't scared of flavor, which is something ive noticed happening in fusion-type restaurants. ALSO, their drinks are marvelous. pricey but innovative!
