This thread is about Los Angeles, the people in it... and most importantly, which restaurant around LA is the best in each category.

My favorite place for burritos has got to be El Tepeyac in City Terrace where you can get the Manuel's special...big giant burrito that can feed a family of 4.

 

[Ermac]

Awesome OT!

 

[brollyman2k]

Rincon Taurino over in Panorama City is pretty damn good when it comes to burritos!

 

[Korey]

City of Angels!

 

[Puddles]

I live here, in the Echo Park area specifically.

I'm up for any kind of meetup if I'm free that day/night.

Also, that shot of the 110 running through downtown would be more accurate with the cars at a standstill.

 

[NoRéN]

Tepeyac ain't got shit on King Taco. Taste wise, come at me.

sigh, i really do miss living in echo park.
so many damn fine ethnic eateries around that area.
with that said,

marielas>>king taco>>>el taurino's.

come at me.

 

[brollyman2k]

lol that shit looks the the 405 after 3 in the afternoon. i HATE going through that on my way back from Santa Monica

 

[H.Protagonist]

South Bay is kind of close to L.A. proper...

Figures I just moved down here after finding out a bunch of gaffers live in L.A. and enjoy booze.

EDIT: Nice job taking the bullet and making the OT, clearacell!

 

[Puddles]

never mind

This is better.

Marielas? Where's that at? Leaving SVG for somewhere closer to downtown next month.

The only real King Taco is on 3rd street in east LA

I'll take a pic of the 10 freeway near my house at 4 PM (near cal state LA)...it'll work

The entire Lakers roster is garbage

Saying "I live in LA" usually means you don't live in LA proper so it's fine I'm in Alhambra which is just east of east LA.

Actually this part of LA is like more Chinatown than probably anywhere else in the U.S.

 

[H.Protagonist]

This is better.

And that's why it's pointless to own a car in this hellhole, er, place. ^_^

Who? Our team is called The Clippers.

this man tells the truth

Took long enough for a Boston fan to get uppity.

Of course! But I got no choice for now as the closest one for me is in el Monte.

Is that a screen cap from the film Constantine?

 

[Puddles]

If I had a time machine, I would go back and tell the LA city planners to make every freeway twice as wide.

No, four lanes on each side will not do for the freeway that passes through downtown. It will not do at all.

Is that a screen cap from the film Constantine?

Not sure. I just did an image search for "405 traffic".

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Marielas? Where's that at? Leaving SVG for somewhere closer to downtown next month.

there's two of them.
one off sunset and coronado in echo park.
the second one on 3rd street, east of vermont.

Took long enough for a Boston fan to get uppity.

smh. not even close :/

 

[H.Protagonist]

...How do you get around?

I took mass trans for 3 years in a row from Ktown to Torrance. 6 buses. 6 GODDAMNED BUSES.

Now I'm 10 minutes from work and jog there.

 

[Jamesfrom818]

I'm down for an alcohol related meet up. Sports bar with Lakers-age maybe. Screaming "All over my face" at Big Wangs should be fun.

 

[wenis]

I only go to vist, never to stay. Place is a hell hole and if my best friend didn't live out there I'd never go.

 

[AniHawk]

i love walking around los angeles. i hate driving in it.

 

[NoRéN]

Sounds like I'm about to try this place out. Anything you recommend?

to be fair, i usually yell "all over my face" after a 2nd shot of patron.
let's invite red blaster, he's our neighbor now

Or better public transportation

 

[Puddles]

The stretch of the 5 that passes through Anaheim is what the entire freeway should have been.

 

[clearacell]

That's what weekends are for! I love LA freeways on the weekend you can literally get anywhere in 20 minutes.

the carne asada is bit dry.
what makes up for it is the red hot sauce. nectar of the gods.
the posole and menudo are fantastic though!
i also go to king taco in el monte.
its like we're brothers from another mama.

and this is another reason why orange county>>>LA county

 

[Sobriquet]

The problem with our freeway system is that it's designed around our population being 1/3 the current size.

 

[coldvein]

what a sprawl.

 

[NoRéN]

Seriously. What is it like 5 lanes plus the entrance lane and carpool lane? Makes going to Disneyland a breeze, once past the 91.

They clearly weren't thinking ahead.

Art scene son. The OC don't have shit on LA. The women who go to art galleries are something special

Love me some salsa roja. Will keep your tip in mind.

What? The one on Garvey? Crazy! I'm only round there til next month. Then I'll actually be closer to the king taco on 3rd in east L.A

 

[Doomsayer]

We NEED to all go to a Laker game.

Oh fuck, Crimson Blur lives in LA too!

Lifelong trifecta.

From this distance that's what it looked like. Memphis guy has no room to speak.

 

[H.Protagonist]

When they finally build the "pink line" subway that follows the Santa Monica boulevard, I will be taking that all. the. time.... In 2020.

It'll never happen in our lifetime. No money and BH has been fighting it every step of the way. They don't want riffraff in THEIR part of town. :/

In between LA and the OC? What the fuck are we supposed to do in Cerritos?

 

[clearacell]

What is everyones personal "limit" on what counts as living in LA? To me, eastward it's the 57 Freeway, northward it's anything after the 118, and southward anythign south of buena park along the 5.
