Food Scene
Torchy's Tacos
2400 Times BlvdAwesome food, fun atmosphere

Vic & Anthony's Steakhouse

My favorite steakhouse because absolutely excellent steak (you pay for it) plus a buffet of delicious sides included. They don't take reservations though! They have a whole room for those waiting and offer free soda fountain and nachos, and a bar if you want to buy a drink.
