joder! el cholo? guelaguetza? the mole there is nasstastic and waaaay overpriced.

there are TONS of good mexican (not tex-mex) restaurants in la. its been ages since ive eaten at one so i cant give you any solid names/addresses because they may not exist or have changed owners, but for sure you can always find at least 10 along vermont near lacc/sunset/the 101, on beverly x 3rd/alvarado, and anywhere in van nuys, pacoima and northridge.


guelaguetza ... * shudder *

So you have no specific recommendations. Just specific criticism. OK.

And for someone who knows so much about Mexican food all over LAC, I'm surprised you made no comment on El Parian.

So out of the "TONS" of good Mexican places in multiple cities in LAC, you still can't name one, but you know enough to knock the spots that I like. I see.

...and I don't eat sushi, and I have no idea about "ronsons and aoki" or "toi" or "kiki dee", but I do go to the Abbey once in a while. Never been to Rage. No, I don't wanna start name dropping, but you go ahead if that makes you happy.

How are the breakfast burritos? I'm not a fan of freezing most food items, but I tire of walking to HBC for a good western breakfast these days. Though there are some pretty good breakfast dives there.
