good cheap near the 405 and Ventura Blvd.

Where should we go to eat in the valley? We generally try to stay as close to the 405 as possible because we come from all over. Any suggestions for good and inexpensive food?

      How cheap are you looking? There is a good mexican place called El Rancho at 15030 Ventura Blvd. It's a small, cheap place. The Italian restaurant next to Simons, Cucina Bene, is amazing. I love going there for lunch. The lunches are between $8-$14.

        Why not go a little further east to Ventura and Woodman and go to Carnival,.. The food is great and reasonable.

            Inexpensive food near 405 and Ventura Blvd?
            There's always 'Mickey D's, El Pollo Loco.
            But seriously, my favorite is 'The Cheesecake Factory! Mmmmmm!

              California Chicken Cafe, Rosti, Marmalade Cafe. I agree, stay away from Siscily!

                Within a block or so you have La Frite, Buon Cucina and Simon's. In the Galleria, you have P.F. Changs, El Torito Grill and The Cheesecake Factory. I would avoid Sisley's at all costs.

                  Bob's suggestion of Simon's Cafe is a great idea: http://www.simonscafe.com/
