One of the first restaurants I ever tried in Venice and still one of my favorites. Killer skinny margs and flavor-packed tacos.
Chulita
Been on my list for a while. A woman-run restaurant with an incredible social mission.
Bé Ù - Vietnamese Street Food & Comfort Food
First LA taco truck I ever went to and still my favorite ;)
Tacos La Guerra - 241 Lincoln Blvd, Los Angeles, California
I started going here because the line across the street for Big Chill was always so long and I “felt bad” that there wasn't a line at Penguins lol. Little did I know, it'd end up being my favorite spot :') they also hook it up with the portions!
Penguin's Place Frozen Yogurt
Classic LA institution and one I NEED to experience before moving!
Sushi Fumi
Heard amazing things about this affordable, authenti Somali spot in Inglewood!
Banadir Somali Restaurant

In-N-Out Burger
Another one of those top regarded must-try LA spots for authentic Oaxacan food.
Guelaguetza Restaurant
Regarded as one of the top bagel spots in LA! High on my list this summer.
Courage Bagels
Michelin winner!
Holbox
Apparently the most INSANE tokyo style pizza!
Pizzeria Sei
There's something that feels classy and sexy about this place in an unpretentious way. Can't wait to go, sit in a booth, and order a ice cold martini.
Jones
A classic old-school LA establishment I've always wanted to experience!
The Formosa
