We ended up going to Porto’s *at least* 6 times. Our days had to start or finish with their sandwiches and pastries lol. I still miss it 🥲

Not pictured, but ordered on Uber Eats:
– bb.q Chicken: we got the Secret Sauce wings and Spicy Galbi wings.
– Maru Ramen: we both had the Kuromayu ramen.
– Anantra Thai: Pad Thai and Panang curry.

On our list, but didn’t get a chance to go (another excuse to come back):
– Salsa & Beer
– Holbox
– Birrieria San Marcos
– Mariscos Jalisco
– Khun Dang Thai
– Malibu Seafood Fresh Fish Market
– The Brothers Sushi
– Howlin’ Rays

Your recommendations were absolutely amazing. Until next time, LA!

    You need to add Langer’s to that list. Absolutely blows Brent’s out of the water.

    Where were you coming from? What was your favorite? What wasn’t good?

    Thanks for the Les Sisters tip, OP. Looks fantastic.

  4. Great essential LA picks here – haven’t been to Les Sisters, but well done! Hope you enjoyed your stay!

    Thank you for visiting our city and enjoying it properly.

  7. between this and twitter friend sandwich pics I plan out all my lunch spots for LA visits based on this sub

    Fantastic. All food posts should be photo essays this is good.

    I would have recommended Mutsumi sushi in chatsworth. I also can’t stand the owner of Brent’s. Cheap ass jerk who wouldn’t know customer service if it hit him in the ass.

    Next time try the “godmother” at bay cities deli in Santa Monica and the carbonara (only served in fall and winter) at tar and roses

    I do this for subs we will be traveling too as well. Good to see someone post their experience traveling to LA. Great choices all around. Hope you enjoyed your time in LA.

    Really happy you enjoyed your trip down here! Now you’ve gotta come back for tacos and Korean food. 🙌🏾

    YOU DID GOOD. Portos has the BEST Cuban Sandwiches ever.

    Someone was in the SFV and hit up a lot of my favorite spots.

    Next time – definitely tacos especially if you are in SFV again.
    Also (will edit when I have more time to type up a list):

    * Brents Deli (Northridge)
    * Philly’s Best – Cheesteaks (Burbank)
    * Pho So 1 – multiple locations, but Van Nuys

    Les Sisters and Brents. Never been. Never heard of in fact. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try these.

  17. KeepItHeady

    There’s too much damn good food in this city

    Hope you got some fried chicken from les sisters. Possibly the best out here.

  19. BeatrixFarrand
