Need Ideas: Weekly Grub Club in SFV

[ChrisF]

What started as a weekly meeting of car enthusiasts has morphed into what we now call the Wednesday Night Grub Club. Our single goal is to eat at a new restaurant every week (although lately we've been repeating). The simple rules are: cheap, good eats in the San Fernando Valley. Our problem is we're running out of places to go.

So recommend away with your favorite cheap holes in the wall. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far. As for some of the questions above:

Our group ranges from 4 - 10
The attendees live in the North SFV (Chatsworth, Northridge, Granada Hills) and Valencia.
Restaurant prices for places we've been range from $1 (Stand Mondays) to $20/hd
The meet started as a Subaru (WRX and STi) meet. It's now just friends who happen to be car nuts.

Then I would add Los Toros on Devonshire between Topanga and De Soto, on the same block..Les Sisters. Parking may be a problem...but Casa De Pizza on San Fernando Mission at Woodman I believe. The Safari Room on Devonshire just west of Sepulveda, for a cheap steak or blt. The Mandarin Deli on Reseda near CSUN (can't remember the cross street).

Any geographical parameters other than "in the valley". and as to price point - how high becomes higher than you want to spend. Is $20 a person too much, or ?
And, lastly, how many in your group on a typical Wednesday?

Ba Le Valley (Vietnamese), on DeSoto just north of Sherman Way. Great food and prices, family-run, always good.
