My favorite Mexican restaurant in Echo Park (and one of the best in LA). It is a longish walk east on Sunset from Echo Park Avenue. Go during the day. But I highly recommend it.

This is a classic fish taco place, and it is really good. If you eat shellfish (and hominy), I recommend the shrimp pozole. But, can’t go wrong with the classic fish tacos.

A British themed sports bar. A good place to watch international soccer. The food is a bit pricey, I think, but they are constantly reworking their menu. I haven't been in a few months.

Small, very reasonably priced burger joint. Very reminiscent of many Los Angeles places that sell simple American (burgers, fries) and Mexican-American food (burritos). It's LA's version of homey.

My local taco truck. Tacos (and taco trucks) in LA are like pizza in NYC: everybody thinks the best one is the one around the corner from their house. So it is here. Tacos for 1.25 each. Sometimes I just get two; but most people will order 3-4. They are small. They specialize in "al pastor". But they also carry chicken and everything else you would expect. Their little salsa bar is really, really good. Try all the salsas, but beware, they are spicy. Two blocks from the house.

Shopping

A good place to browse used and new books. They have wifi, coffee, sandwiches and other snacks so it is a good place to work. They are applying for a liquor license.

Drinks & Nightlife

It is a craft beer, quasi-sports bar which caters to vegan, vegetarian and meat-eaters alike. I always have the cauliflower based buffalo chicken wings. They are delicious.

Taix is classic old LA. It has been around for 80 yrs -- some 50 of them at its current location. Reasonable for French food. Good for people watching. One of my favorites.

Essentials

It's a Whole Foods type of grocery store. A lot of organic options. I shop at the small grocery store across the street (Guadalupana, I think), it's much cheaper if you are not shopping organic.

This is my main grocery store. i love Trader Joes. you will find that most Angelenos love Trader Joes. This store is not necessarily close to the house. You need to drive there or uber there. But the prices are good, the offerings are good quality and they have a great mix of organic and non-organic and unique snacks and foods that you won't find anywhere else.

One of the newest Museums in LA. It opened in 2015. It is much talked about and mostly focused on modern and contemporary art. It is very popular and requires a reservation. If you know you want to visit, I suggest getting a reservation at the earliest convenience, especially if you are thinking of visiting on a weekend of a holiday.
