This thread is about Los Angeles, the people in it... and most importantly, which restaurant around LA is the best in each category.

My favorite place for burritos has got to be El Tepeyac in City Terrace where you can get the Manuel's special...big giant burrito that can feed a family of 4.

Ermac · Jan 19, 2012

Awesome OT!

brollyman2k · Jan 19, 2012

Rincon Taurino over in Panorama City is pretty damn good when it comes to burritos!

Korey · Jan 19, 2012

City of Angels!

Puddles · Jan 19, 2012

I live here, in the Echo Park area specifically.

I'm up for any kind of meetup if I'm free that day/night.

Also, that shot of the 110 running through downtown would be more accurate with the cars at a standstill.

NoRéN · Jan 19, 2012

Tepeyac ain't got shit on King Taco. Taste wise, come at me.

brollyman2k · Jan 19, 2012

lol that shit looks the the 405 after 3 in the afternoon. i HATE going through that on my way back from Santa Monica

H.Protagonist · Jan 19, 2012

South Bay is kind of close to L.A. proper...

Figures I just moved down here after finding out a bunch of gaffers live in L.A. and enjoy booze.

EDIT: Nice job taking the bullet and making the OT, clearacell!

Saying "I live in LA" usually means you don't live in LA proper so it's fine

I'm in Alhambra which is just east of east LA.

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

Of course! But I got no choice for now as the closest one for me is in el Monte.

Is that a screen cap from the film Constantine?

Puddles · Jan 19, 2012

If I had a time machine, I would go back and tell the LA city planners to make every freeway twice as wide.

No, four lanes on each side will not do for the freeway that passes through downtown. It will not do at all.

WonkersTHEWatilla said:

Not sure. I just did an image search for "405 traffic".

I took mass trans for 3 years in a row from Ktown to Torrance. 6 buses. 6 GODDAMNED BUSES.

Now I'm 10 minutes from work and jog there.

Jamesfrom818 · Jan 19, 2012

I'm down for an alcohol related meet up. Sports bar with Lakers-age maybe. Screaming "All over my face" at Big Wangs should be fun.

wenis · Jan 19, 2012

I only go to vist, never to stay. Place is a hell hole and if my best friend didn't live out there I'd never go.

Or better public transportation

Puddles · Jan 19, 2012

The stretch of the 5 that passes through Anaheim is what the entire freeway should have been.

That's what weekends are for! I love LA freeways on the weekend you can literally get anywhere in 20 minutes.

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.

The problem with our freeway system is that it's designed around our population being 1/3 the current size.

what a sprawl.

Seriously. What is it like 5 lanes plus the entrance lane and carpool lane? Makes going to Disneyland a breeze, once past the 91.

In between LA and the OC? What the fuck are we supposed to do in Cerritos?

clearacell · Jan 19, 2012

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.
