Hop Woo - 1998

I'd recommend the roast duck. My favorite.

Joe Peep's Pizza - 1998

The popularity of Joe Peep's Pizza has surged from when I was going to it back in '97. The popularity is well deserved.

El Taco Loco - 1997

Nothing memorable about this place.

Guanabambu Cocina Salvadorena - 1997

Its the pupusas (deep fried corn meal that's thicker than a tortilla and about the size of the coaster) that differentiates Salvadorian food from their neighbors. My fav is the queso y chicharron.

Hot 'N Cold Bowls - 1997

One of the local Thai restaurants in North Hollywood where I can get a large helping of Pad Thai.

The only issue I have is the name of the place. I'd prefer they gave it a Thai name because when I think "hot 'n cold bowls" my power of association starts to go towards teriyaki bowls, but teriyaki bowls aren't hot and cold. Eventually, I end up getting nowhere when I try to place the name with the restaurant.

Los Burritos - 1997

Its funny how far back I can remember what I ordered from Los Burritos in North Hollywood. I was bisteck with rice, beans, salsa and jalapenos. If I can remember that far back it must have been good.

Super Taco Michoacan - 1997

I always thought Taco Bell was authentic Mexican food, until I started eating at places like this. Although lengua is a regular staple with me, I can't help combining lengua with buche in a burrito. The lean soft meat of the lengua with the fatty and juicy buche is an excellent combo.
