We just finished a father/daughter trip to LA. I lurked on this sub to plan our eating. Due to your recommendations we ate like kings and queens! My thoughts for what its worth:
Canters Deli – Really good pastrami sandwich. Best I’ve had in America.
Home State – Very enjoyable Tex-Mex burritos & nachos. Free cookies may have clouded judgement.
Roosters – OK breakfast burrito. Good sauces though
Mariscos Jalisco – Crazy good seafood
Sugarfish – Good value sushi. Scratched the itch, without the price tag
House of Pies – Love an old school diner. Good pie
Franks Mexican Restaurant – Brilliant no frills Heuvos Rancheros
In&Out Burger – The obvious tourist stop. Of course it was good.
Musso & Franks – Good Steak. Great old school atmosphere.
Lucky Pennys (Santa Barbara) – Decent pizza
Cristino’s Bakery (Santa Barbara) – Great burritos & baked goods
Lamonica’s NY Slice – Decent slice. Nuff said
Guelaguetza – great Chile Rellanos. Mole an experience! Don’t think my delicate caucasian palate is refined enough to appreciate the complexity. Glad we went
Philippe’s – Actually, nothing special. Just a bit bland, even with extra dipping & mustard. I remember them being better last time (15 years ago!)
Tamix Tacos Truck – very good. Excellent burrito not pictured
Original pancake house – amazing pancakes. Perfect balance of sweet/salt
Coni’s Seafood – Good, but a touch heavy on citrus
