I've looked in big book chains before, and while they always have some stuff the selection is pretty small: often best sellers and religious books only. I'd like to find a shop specializing in spanish language because I think they'd have a broader selection of topics, hopefully including some interesting nonfiction.
I know these books exist because I see them in online shops based out of Europe, but I'd like to avoid paying the high exchange rate + shipping to get books all the way from overseas.

Why does this doesn't surprise me...
Well, here it goes: look for a "Instituto Cervantes" maybe they have an attached bookshop (and Library)
Of course, but I still find bookstores more pleasant than Amazon for general browsing. So if there's a brick and mortar location with a lot of spanish books in LA, I'd like to check it out.
