Mind you, neither of us are from California, but from a little research asking mates and searching the web, here are a few suggestions that may be of interest to you. I'll add more as they come to me as well:
1. Picasso's Tapas (<a href="http://www.picassostapas.com/): ">http://www.picassostapas.com/): Where you can find Morcilla, Patatas Brava, Pimientos de Piquillo and Pinchos de Morunos
2. Ole Tapas Bar (<a href="http://www.oletapasbar.com/): ">http://www.oletapasbar.com/): Like Picassos, this place doesn't appear to be the most "authentic" spanish tapas in the world, but at least you can fun renditions on old traditional standbyes like a Spanish omelet w/ caramelized onions & Serrano ham in a whiskey sauce or snails and chorizo in a cream sauce (a little odd, but interesting).
3. Tapas the World (<a href="<a href="http://www.tapatheworld.com) " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.tapatheworld.com) "><a href="http://www.tapatheworld.com) " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.tapatheworld.com) : From their menu, I think this restaurant has a fighting chance in presenting itself as relatively authentic. Serving Pimientos de Patron (small green sauteed peppers that usually have a few spicy ones to the bunch), spanish omelette, olives, Serrano Ham, Manchego cheese, etc.
4. Bocadillos (<a href="http://www.bocasf.com/site/start.html): ">http://www.bocasf.com/site/start.html): If you look at their dinner menu, they've got some great dishes to explore such as the mixed green salad in a sherry vinegar topped with warm octopus, confit potatoes and piquillos peppers with tarragon and onion. Might be worth checking out.
I hope this helps, but as mentioned before, we do ask that anyone who actually lives in California to chime in, as we are limited by our distance ;-)
