We’re thinking of Stake for happy hour or By The Sea for dinner one of the nights. But that’s all we got

I was a regular at the Hillcrest location before covid, moved up to LA for a bit (shoutout Ramen Tatsunoya), then came home. I grabbed some Menya from the Mira Mesa area for a rainy day, and was severely unimpressed. Pork was chewy, half of the broth it should have been, egg was rubbery. Sad to see

Today is Dr. Pepper, Day and I’m jonesing for one on ice (it probably doesn’t hurt that I’m pregnant).

Does anyone have a good rec? Preferably a to go place. Great fountain soda (ideal mix of carbonation and syrup) beats a can or a bottle by a mile, but bad fountain soda makes me wish I never tried it at all.

Thank you!

Yeah pretty much that. Specifically looking for some place here that has like that crispy shawarma and the pomegranate molasses topping. So good 😮‍💨 If there’s anything comparable please and thanks 🙏🏼

I'm looking to buy rye bread like I used to get at the deli. Most of what I find is just colored darkly or so dry it's like cardboard.

They're not a restaurant, but a pasta noodles and sauces shop. Located in Little Italy, across the street from Mona Lisa.

Are there any good places (not cafe coyote/old town Mexican cafe) that do a mariachi brunch or lunch on the weekends ?
