If you eat meat, best alternative to burrito. In business 35 years, mom and pop's diner style. Get the garlic sauce, you won't be disappointed! I like the shawarma wrap.

people love this breakfast spot. For upscale kale salads with poached eggs, really high-end coffee, and fresh-squeezed juice. I prefer Amara's Kitchen but that's in Highland Park.

I love getting the Avocado Veggie sandwich and strawberry lemonade here. It's an incredible cafe that has outdoor seating in Griffith Park. Quiche, scones, corndogs

Best Thai food I've ever had. Totally authentic street food, colorful interior. Laid back seating. But be prepared to wait. Worth it. Must be open-minded and like fish sauce.
