El Pollon - Peruvian Restaurant

5100 E. Beverly Blvd
East Los Angeles, CA 90022


I had the ceviche mixto (fish, shrimp, sweet potato-yam, onions, with fried corn nuts). Very citruscy, and spicy with good portions of fish and shrimp.

A glass of chicha morada which I found to be better than jamaica.

Ocha Thai

5187-89 Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, CA 90027

I had the 105, bad choice. It came out like a bad Chinese version of seafood lo mein.

Pho 22

9651 Reseda Blvd.
Northridge, CA 91324

The pho gods were not happy. In fact they were down right wrathful for the lack of authenticity; from the lack of 5 spices to cilantro instead of basil.

Fish Taco Express

5144 East Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90022

I love the authenticity of this place, its so East LA. Que rico.

Two fish tacos.
Al pastor.
Cabeza taco.
Huarache. Yellow chilies (powerfully spicy like my mouth is on fire!)

Truly a blessed meal, the Mexican Gods smile on me.

Super Cocina 5 Puntos

3300 East Cesar E Chavez Avenue
Los Angeles , CA 90063

Real food served here. Buches, tripas, lenguas, cabezas, etc. I had the buches in a cup with chilis. This is not a seat down place, you get your food, and consume it outside. Street food.

Check out the oya and the paddle to stir the food.

Casita Taco De Carbon

11300 No. 1 Magnolia Blvd,
North Hollywood, CA 91401


I had the "Gourmet" Grand Burrito al Pastor. A true burrito will have different cuts of meats and will not be filled with lettuce, nor use a lousy chipotle sauce to cover how bad it is.
There is better:

Taco El Gordo

Super Taco Michoacan

San Ma Ru Korean Restaurant

18111 Saticoy Street
Reseda, CA 91335


I like this Korean joint its not as commercial as the Tofu House across the street. Its real mom and pop type of home cuisine I really enjoy.

I had their spicy squid over rice. Really spicy through every bite. Too bad I couldn't get a take-out menu. But I would go back just to try other dishes.
