It depends on what you are looking for.
Flamenco? No, none.
Classical? Yes, Pepe Romero's son makes some from his home in Del Mar, but I have no info. Apparently he makes a flamenco model, but his instruments are going to be pricey.
The LA area has Guitar Salon and Trilogy, and possibly more.

The Blue Guitar sometimes good stuff Importantly, Yuris Zeltins repairs guitars there, he's among the masters. The inventory is erratic and usually small, eg they have two miguel rodriguez' classical guitars now plus the factory guitars.
Blue Guitar is a good shop, but I have never seen a flamenco I would buy there, mostly under $2,000, and not big name makers. Yuris can be interesting to talk to and learn from, but he's one of the most opinionated people you will ever speak with. He has some good stories.
I have no idea if you are thinking of buying one or just want to see what's out there and have no intention to buy..
High end guitars don't sell every day, so that's probably why it's hard to find them. People are very, very picky and it's probably insanely difficult to sell enough of them to cover the costs of a commercial space and all that goes with it.
