Where I Go Out
Tacos de carnitas
$, Mexican, Breakfast, Tacos, Chinatown
"It's just awesome. They shred the carnitas right in front of you, everything is made to order, and it's one of the best tacos."
Piccolo budino di cioccolato
$$$$, Full Bar, Italian, Melrose
"This is one of my favorite desserts. It's well balanced and well executed, yet very simple. It's sweet and salty and just plain delicious."
Desayuno Salvadoreño
$, Latin American, North Hills East
"I love the atmosphere here. It's a family-owned business and reminds me of home. The Salvadoran breakfast comes with rice, beans, fried plantains, two eggs (any way you want them), queso fresco, sour cream and two handmade tortillas."
At My Venues
Broken Spanish
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Mexican, Full Bar, Downtown
"Roast duck with mole half duck topped with peanut mole, sesame, and persimmon. The mole is the best I've ever had."
Tostada
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Mexican, Full Bar, Downtown
"Chef Ray Garcia has mastered the principles of Mexican cuisine, recreating dishes while still maintaining authenticity. His tostada on heirloom corn tortilla (made by hand in house) with beets, hard boiled egg & pickled habanero is transcendental!"
Quesadilla
$$$, Outdoor Seating, Mexican, Full Bar, Downtown
"This braised oxtail quesadilla is just one example of the great things on the menu here. The tortillas are amazing, they have ruined me. These are the only ones I want to eat from now on."
