Clancy's Crab Broiler 219 N. Central Ave. - 818.242.2722 Cuisine: Seafood Review:x
Don Cuco 214 N. Brand Blvd. - 818.553.1123 $5.01 - $15 Typical Mexican cuisine; very nice ambiance (fountain, many nooks and crannys); seats about 120 or so. Easy to find: it's literally right next door to (one door south of) the famous Alex Theater (which has a gigantic spire sticking up out of it) on the east side of Brand Boulevard between Lexington and Broadway, a couple of blocks north of the huge Borders Bookstore. Cuisine: Mexican Recommended Dishes:Arroz con Pollo Review:Excellent Mexican food, same price as inferior chains
Zankou Chicken 1415 E. Colorado St. - 818.244.1937 Cuisine: Armenian Recommended Dishes:Chicken Plate Review:Great Chicken, Great Price Forget about fast food chicken. Forget about the roasted chicken in the deli department of your local supermarket. This chicken is moist and excellently flavored. Not just chicken, either. There's truly wonderful falafel and other Mediteranean dishes. No matter what time of day, this place is always crowded with returning patrons. You know if a place is busy at 11pm that it's got to be good!
Zono Sushi 139 N. Maryland - 818.507.4819 $15.01 - $30 Small, located in the courtyard across from the Mann movie theater and Tony Roma's (statue of Ben Franklin sitting on a bench right in front of Zono). Seats about sixty, plus sushi bar. Sit at the bar and you get free extras from the sushi chefs.\n\nReasonably priced, about $3.50-$4.00 for most orders (one order = two pieces of sushi). They also have sashimi, as well as a fairly minor selection of non-sushi Japanese dishes, mostly side dishes. Go for the sushi. Cuisine: Sushi Recommended Dishes:Tuna, yellowtail, uni (sea urchin), ika (squid), kama, udon Review:First-rate sushi, cut-rate prices
Ben & Jerry's 119 N Maryland Ave - 818.545.0455 $5 and under Ben and Jerry's serves gourmet ice cream, ice cream cakes, and novelties. <P>Their menu includes items like the Vermonster, a huge sundae for five or six people, as well as the more standard sundaes and banana splits. It's open late and staffed with friendly people.<P>They validate parking in the garage next door. Cuisine: Dessert / Ice Cream Recommended Dishes:Dasterdly Mash Review:Dasterdly Mash ...possibly the best flavor combination from the last millenium. [Begging for Ben&Jerry to bring it into the new millenium!] Chocolate..raisins...almonds...Oh Yeah!! Review:Dastardly Mash Please bring it back. I miss it desperately!

Acapulco Mexican Restaurants 722 N Pacific Avenue - 818.246.8175 Cuisine: Mexican Recommended Dishes:Tampiquena Steak, Halibut with Sherry Wine Sauce Review:Best Mexican Food in LA Area I love the Sunday buffet brunch there. They have great Cuervo Gold margaritas and the best chips and salsa. The chips are really crispy and fresh tasting. Best I've ever had. Also, the waiters and waitresses are very friendly and knowledgeable about the food. When I take guests, they're always impressed with how friendly the waiters are. Oreo Loco dessert is killer!

Review:Poor service at A Bientot While I ate here once and the lunch was fine, at dinner we were practically ignored, finally had to walk out after receiving nothing after waiting nearly 45 minutes. When we asked for bread, we were told it would come with the meal. Meanwhile plates of food sat waiting under a heat lamp for over half an hour while the waitress ignored it. Several other people also walked out that night due to atrocious service. Would NEVER go back to this place again.
