we can always go to goldilocks or some shit.
just playing, i dont mind driving up.

 

[NoRéN]

yeah the one off garvey.
that security guard always eyeballing the shit out of me.


im down for nba-age meet up.
gotta be a place in the middle though.

Then I'm pretty sure that guy's just a dick. I thought the same thing too last time I went. Guess he takes his job seriously.

lmao.

We should all hit up Glendale, Glendale is dope.

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.

I live a little east of the 57, but it's still LA County!

Spoiler

by about 10 miles

I used to live in Monterey Park though. So I count.

Yessirittos!

 

[Ermac]

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. :/

Wait a sec, are you the same xseed employee from a Gamespot Trails in the Sky interview I saw a while back?

Radius of 13 miles from where it says Los Angeles on Google Maps.

EDIT: Make that 10 miles with a special exception for Santa Monica.

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.

Have you eaten at Taco Zone? If so, how does it compare? Because I love TZ's al pastor and can't seem to break away from it.

Exactly. I mean, look at this douche:

Mmmm hmmm.

What's your point?

What they gonna do? post a list of zip codes that are technically City of Los Angeles?

All of L.A. county is considered Los Angeles. No problem with that.

And this is where, if I may ask?

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.

 

[TheKaeptain]

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

I'm pretty fucked up on pain meds for my back but what?

 

[H.Protagonist]

I am. Sorry I sucked. I was super tired.

I did better with the more recent Fishing Resort one, I swear!

or you know, use the actual county borders

 

[TheKaeptain]

Hopefully, by this time next year, I will be living down in Los Angeles.

Monterey Park/Alhambra is where many Chinese immigrants end up when they come to L.A., and the population makeup/businesses around here reflect that.

 

[Geek]

And this is where, if I may ask?

Truck outside the Vons on Alvarado after 8:30 pm.

Nothing glamorous, obviously, but they turn out a good brisket and al pastor.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Went to Little Tokyo over the weekend.

I think Shabu Shabu has become one of my favorite foods ever.

'Shabu Shabu House' is a must.

i love el pastor if done right. has to be crunchy.
never been there. where is it?

This is very true.

Too be honest, Monterey Park kind of turned into a shit hole. I still adore it dearly because most of my friends live there, but wow.

 

[Radec]

Both LA teams beat my Mavs with a game winning shot.

smh.

 

[clearacell]

or you know, use the actual county borders

on the 210 the "san bernardino county" signs start in Upland, along the 60 in Chino. I think Buena Park is where the "orange county" signs show up, but I think of the physical location of the 91 is where I think of the cutoff

My memory's a bit rusty but, the Vons in Echo Park between Alvarado and Glendale?

Im no stickler for this stuff, nor do I care really, but I lived in Whittier for a while and I was walking distance from the "County Line". Whittier then La Habra was in OC. So, I guess Whittier is still LA county?

Someone has to push around all those dim sum carts.

there used to be a place in chinatown in la called ABC seafoods.
dim sum carts rolling around. so good.
but its no more

on the 5 going south, the orange/LA border begins when the freeway suddenly opens up with more lanes.

 

[Gully State]

Anyone know of any decent Chinese food in west la? Driving to Monterey Park just isn't feasible on a weeknight..

 

[JCX]

I miss LA. Lived in socal over the summer. As much as I love public transit in Chicago, my upbringing in Michigan made me used to suburban sprawl.

 

[NoRéN]

That's the one. Here's the Yelp listing for Taco Zone.

Aww yeah! Looks like I'm taking a drive down there after the next NWA wrestling show.

Can't say I've ever been to one in West LA. My ex and I would usually head out to Chinatown or SGV if we really had time.

This place has been in waiting in my Yelp Bookmarks for a while though

If any of you Echo Park types enjoy the taste of beer, Sunset Beer Co. is a relatively new establishment, but a great place to get a huge variety of ales, stouts, IPAs, etc. Tastings, beer of the month club, they got some stuff goin' on.

Also, just ate at the brand newly opened Red Hill for the first time this past week. Pretty good. From the guy who runs Local, which I enjoy occasionally.

Yang Chow in Chinatown (downtown). Slippery Shrimp.

I will await a thank you PM. http://www.yangchow.com/

I shop at that Vons 2x a week at least.

There's a little Mexican place called Tacos Mexico at the intersection of Alvarado, Glendale and Berkeley. They have really good al pastor there.

Last time I ate at Tacos Mexico, I enjoyed it. But after finding Taco Zone, I never went back.

I consider it the City of Los Angeles. It seem some folks in this thread disagree. I even got called a douche. :shrug: I give a pass to the Santa Monica area, I suppose.

I consider the 710 to be the cutoff to the east.

 

[Black Mamba]

They have valet for like $1 or $2. I suggest making sure you make a right to get into the place, making a left can be a bitch there.


And like I said, reservation if you can on weekends. You can be waiting over an hour, otherwise. God I miss the shrimp right now.

I could sleep in this all night. It's amazing when you walk in there is not one table without this dish on it.
