Colorado Grill (Yelp) on E. Herndon Ave near Costco is a burger joint that moved in where Fatburger used to be. This place was packed during lunch and has pretty large burgers. I have to admit the flavor reminded me of Fatburger a bit, which is not a bad thing. The Boulder burger I got …

I loved Don Pepe’s so much I had to go back 2 more times. Here are some new pictures of other items they offer. Although I am not a huge fan of the beans in a taco, the al pastor taco was really good which makes me realize that their carne asada is just okay. …

La Penca Azul (Yelp) in Alameda is probably THE Mexican place with its prime location, fun atmosphere, and popularity. I had been wanting to check it out ever since we moved to Alameda and when I saw a Yelp deal for 50% off, I jumped on it. Jessica got the carnitas plate and I got …

The place kind of reminded me of Fuddruckers because most of their burgers were pretty big (1/4lb and 1/2lb) and you could choose what kind of beef you wanted, including buffalo and grass-fed beef. They also have beer. …

On Richie’s recommendation, we checked out Ramen Jinya (Yelp) in Studio City to satisfy a ramen craving of mine. At first we were thinking of going to Orochon (Yelp) or Daikokuya (Yelp) in Little Tokyo, but we decided to try something new. It is a pretty authentic ramen restaurant located in a random strip mall. …

Mariscos Guero (Yelp) in Long Beach has some of the greatest Mexican seafood I have had. The restaurant is very low-key and is located in a strip mall. The place was referred to us by Richie’s co-worker. When Richie, Luis, and I arrived, we immediately observed two signs that the food was going to be …

In my most recent trip to Fresno, I had the pleasure of eating at Don Pepe’s (Yelp) – a small, simple Mexican joint on N. Blackstone Ave. On my first visit, I ordered a carne asada taco and an al pastor super burrito. The carne asada taco was interesting. I was expecting a taco truck-style …
