Manny's El Loco

5161 East Pomona Blvd,
Los Angeles, CA 90022

I had the chorizo torta for lunch. Since its chorizo does that make it brunch? The chorizo torta was decent with good portions of chorizo.

Their menu even has an explanation about each food item. This is for all the pinche guerros who come off the Metro and need instructions on Mexican food. RTFM.

Breakfast

Sisig, lagoniza, pansit, and rice from Island Pacific.

Los 3 Potrillos Carniceria

14920 Victory Blvd.
Van Nuys, CA 91411

Freshly BBQ whole chicken. This carniceria also has the same issue with LAFD, but not as often as Don Juan's.

Shakey's

10340 Reseda Blvd.
Northridge, CA 91324

Sometime, just sometimes I just want a medium pepperoni pizza, half a chicken and mojo potatoes, with a pitcher of Miller Genuine draft. A whole pitcher to myself.

La Chiva Loca - Tortas Ahogada

4555 E 3rd St
Los Angeles, CA 90022


If you're going to have a goat as a mascot and you name the restaurant with chiva loca and torta; you better have birria torta for me to eat.

So what was my poor substitution: carne-whoppee/sigh.

If I want birria I will go here:

Birrieria Jalisco

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.
