For tacos and a time limit, pass by Sol y Luna
Dim light creeps its way throughout the cramped dining room through stained-glass lighting fixtures that caused the room’s Spanish-style decor to glow with a rich, orange hue. The lemons and leaves draping from the ceiling create a convincing outdoor ambiance. It was like eating underneath a weeping willow tree right before sunset. This is Sol y Luna.

Food review: De Soto Pharmacy and Soda Shoppe
Photo by: Alan Castro
Sundaes with a cherry on top, malts and milkshakes with whip cream and sprinkles, and ice cream floats with scrumptious scoops that appear to levitate in the bubbling soda.
Frozen desserts are the pinnacles of a lively, homey childhood, and De Soto Pharmacy and Soda Shoppe offer that nostalgic experience—with a rich and creamy taste—every day.

The “Grass” was not Greener: “118 Degrees”
118 Degrees offers vegan food that tastes vegan, and not in a good way. Offering tasty raw, healthy, vegan food is difficult because options are limited. Almost all the dishes at this restaraunt could be improved with some salt or pepper, but then the dish would no longer be “healthy.” The cheese dishes would taste better if they are...
A Falafel-ot of Goodness
Tucked away in an unassuming Tarzana strip-mall, Tel Aviv Grill serves up generous helpings of home-style, kosher Israeli traditionalism. The restaurant itself is as unassuming as its location. Ice-white walls with hints of vibrant green accenting, do little to indicate the customary cooking that happens in an open kitchen, which greets you upon entrance.
An unorthodox ordering procedure ensues....

One need not look so far in Los Angeles, no less the San Fernando Valley, to find a Mexican grill, but students of Pierce College should try their time at Casa Di Papi located on Sherman Way and Shoup Avenue. It’s a small establishment, but the service is always...
Bowl & Burger
Bowl & Burger is one of the last places you’d expect to find good food. Located just off Sherman way and Canoga, it shares a small strip mall with a weed dispensary, a laundromat and a liquor store. Although inconspicuous and hidden away, make no mistake this hole in the wall restaurant is a gem.
The average customer here...

Located on Ventura Boulevard, this spacious and elegant restaurant greets customers with a European style service, where customers sit themselves. With a cozy covered patio, Angel City Cafe gives their customers the...
Bread Crumbs Cafe
Tucked away between two office buildings in the parking lot of a medical center, the Bread Crumbs Cafe provides a convenient opportunity for a quick meal to those around. The small restaurant kitchen allows for approximately two people to sit inside and has outside seating for about six.
The smell of baked bread and grilled deli meat fill the air...
