Greenfield is awesome.

I enjoy little hole in the wall places. because they have the best food and prices.


Mexican Seafood. Marsicos Chentes on Imperial not far from Crenshaw. very simple dishes. if you order shrimp, that's all you get. no beans or rice but it's enough t fill you and you can bring your own beer as long as it's not Tecate(only brand they sell) their tilapia is very good too.

The Pantry on 9th and Figueroa for breakfast can't be beat. get the Ham steak and eggs with soardough bread and the slaw is the best I've had.

Just a couple for now since I am getting ready for work.
