So the new year starts and I got a sample of a pretty good spinach calzone from Nellys Catering in Santa Monica. Now I’d like to know if there are any newer or classic places that earn the title for best calzone. And no not based on yelp. I’m talking the ones that are really good regardless of yelp ratings and reviews not based on food. Thanks and happy new year.

 

What’s the best Mexican Restaurant for my favorite trio? Looking for chili rellenos (stems cut off), cheese enchiladas, and beef hard shell tacos. For me it’s Mexican season. However I have to ask the community for more places to check out. I have found some favorites and tried them at my regular spots. It’s hit and miss. My newest discovery is Taco Miendo. I like all three items mentioned from there. Anyone else know a place or two? Thanks

Also the first time i had sausage on there pizza was good the second time not so good. Do they have two different sausage options for there pizza? Thanks for any and all info.

Glad you liked it. Even though your not replying directly to me. :P Barones was one of those places no one told me about found it when planning to attend la valley college and was surveying the area of where i could rent a room and find a job. First time there i got a small cheese ( i was unemployed with very little income yet a free metro pass). The small size pizza is a kids meal. lol!

LOL! I don't think i'd let anyone stick there hooves in my basket of fried zucchini. Then again some places are overly generous with there portions of sides. :D

LOL! Actually there are some places that have really good ranch. Sometimes I get a side side just to have there ranch. One such place is Pieloon in downey near the stonewood mall.

I so agree with your statement. And this is the reason i started this post. I've had some pretty bad stuff out there. And its not easy to forgot terrible food items. Just cause a burger joint is popular, recommended, and is the best around. It doesn't mean every menu item is all that great. And so there are foodies out there with a niche for certain food items and pretty much know where the good ones are. Also cause some workers and waitresses/waiters are not always honest about the food that is served where they work.
