Mayo clinic
A couple days ago, Eric put up a blog about Johnnie's Pastrami. To people in West L.A., that place is a legend, and so is Tito's Taco's right around the corner. Problem is, there's not much for vegetarians to eat there. Onion rings and a shake are tasty, but a diet of that will eventually do you in.
A zillion dishes, but just two people behind the counter.
I prefer Cinco de Mayo, which is on the corner of Sepulveda and Washington, right in between the two establishments. Not only does it have a menu that hits the triple digits (including stuff I'll eat) and hours that literally don't end, there are cool murals inside.
This one shows some people being shipwrecked in stormy water. The message? You never know what's going to happen. This meal may be your last, so go for it.
John Wayne might have answered the front door wearing a dress, but he approves of the food at Cinco de Mayo. The couple? I'll let you know when I see it completed.
There is also some nice art outside, beautifully lit by neon and flourescent. The other night there was a homeless guy hanging out there, so I decided to let him be.
And the food? It's pretty good. I had a tasty veggie burrito. Wendy (not vegetarian) had a fish burrito, saved half for lunch the next day, and said it was good and filling. This ran us less than nine bucks including a small tip.
In the end, it's good to a have a dependable 24-hour spot like this, especially by the airport since you never know when you're picking up a hungry friend.
