You can't do better than the little cochinita pibil burrito at Yuca's ($3.50). It's beautiful and deliciously juicy.

Re: Culver City - is S&W not to your liking? If it weren't surrounded nowadays with so many compelling if fancier joints (such as Le Saint Amour - is duck confit not comfort food?) I'd go almost nowhere else in CC.

[FrugalDanny]

Hi Will - with that endorsement how I can not be liking it...it sounds "mighty comforting" (:-D) ... do you mind me using your quote and name on the page I will be creating...

[kevin]

sounds lilke a great list.

You get two French toast, three pancakes (with a generous amount of warm maple syrup and whipped butter), three eggs, two bacon, a sausage, a large piece of ham, and skillet fried potatoes ALL FOR $10.00

[kushnerom]

Hmmm... I like eating cheap (but still eating good) so here are my favorite places around town:

Tender Greens (soups, sandwiches, salads), Culver City (cheap for being healthy and gourmet)
The Habit Burger, Torrance
Ruen Pair, Thai Town
Pho So 1 (vietnamese), Gardena
Taro's Sushi & Teri (yes cheap sushi, but actually good), Culver City
Samosa House (indian take-out and store), Culver City
Rutt's Hawaiian (great breakfast place), Culver City

Hope that helps!

thanks mapped

[FrugalDanny]

not allowed to post a direct link on the thread. Mods have allowed me to put my site on my profile here. once there look down to right for Los Angeles City & Greater - Satellite Map at top of each as well as individual listings below..

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

Please keep feeding me

[bfoster1970]

These may not be cheap cheap but worth the extra money

The Gardens of Taxco-West Hollywood (family owned and great food)
VIP Harbour-West LA (Great Dim Sum & good food in general)
Versaillas-West LA (I like the one on Pico the best)
Kettle-Manhattan Beach (Cheap & great for breakfast/ local favorite)
Rocky Cola-South bay (good after a night out and cheap)
Izzy's Dinner-Santa Monica (Cheap and been there forever)
Noshi Sushi-West LA (great sushi, cash only place)

[FrugalDanny]

thank you b foster these are great ones

[broncosaurus]

Certainly wouldn't call VIP Harbour "great" dim sum. It's okay I suppose, but the late Royal Star was much better. So sorry to see them go out of business some years back.

[bfoster1970]

If you want the real deal for Dim Sum then go to ABC Seafoods in China Town-Downtown. Very good and the real stuff bit getting down there can be a pain sometimes. I still think on the Westside VIP is the best.

[broncosaurus]

CBS is just as good. I used to like Ocean Seafood but they seemed to have declined the last two times I visited.

But for "the real stuff" forget these downtown joints...you have to go further east on the 10 where you'll find 888, NBC, Ocean Star, many others all much superior.

[FrugalDanny]

the networks are opening their own food joints now? well why not, what with declining advertising revenue and the economy the way it is.... (:-D)

thks i'll look at these tooo.

[sbritchky]

Here are some favorites and not-so-favorites not yet listed, but all have chowhound fans and should be mentioned:

Bollini's Pizzeria (Monterey Park)
La Casita Mexicana (Bell)
Cassell's Hamburgers (LA)
Gaffey Street Diner (San Pedro)
Glacier Ice Cream (Manhattan Beach)
Johnny Rebs' (Long Beach)
Original Pancake House (Redondo)

Gotta add Diddy Riese in Westwood Village on Broxton. What is more comforting than three big cookies for a buck, or two with a milk? Or a fresh-made ice cream sandwich for barely more, or a big beef hotdog and a soda for two bucks?

Take a look at these two prior threads for the purposes of cross checking the places you currently have with ones you may be missing. The older of the two threads, (Modernist's essential list) is a still a GREAT resource even if it's a little bit dated. And Maxzook needs to be singled out for his selfless and incredibly helpful act of finding as many of these places and listing them in Chow Places as humanly possible.

[FrugalDanny]

just done creating a City Of Los Angeles Map

and a

Greater Los Angeles Map

[Burger Boy]

Al & Bea's in East LA for burritos
Juanito's for Tamales on Floral near Eastern

[FrugalDanny]

done!

[broncosaurus]

Rice Things on Artesia (sushi and chicken bowl-type stuff)
Very crowded at lunch time.

[Peripatetic]

I agree it will be a Herculean task to create and maintain this map.

One thing you might want to be aware of: Google Maps silently ignores all POIs after the first 200 POIs, at least when using KML and GPX -- at least that was the case eight months ago (I haven't checked recently). I got around it by breaking my lists into multiple lists, but it gets unwieldy and performance starts to really suffer. I can show you an example if you like.

That said, I'd add the following places that I didn't see mentioned yet:

Fab Hot Dogs
The Oinkster
Best Fish Taco in Ensenada
Phillips Barbecue
Brent's Deli
Greenblatt's Delicatessen
Pinches Tacos
Jay Bee's House of Fine Bar-B-Que
Brats Brothers
Porto's Bakery
Vicious Dogs
The Counter
Don Huarache
Big Mike's Philly Steaks & Subs
Baby Blues BBQ
Pie 'n' Burger
Father's Office (borderline cheap)
Lucky Devils (borderline cheap)

Depending upon your cutoff point for ethnic (I notice Mexican's already included), I'd also propose these:

Jeon Ju
Chunju Han-il Kwan
Pho Minh
Falafel Arax
Kyochon Chicken
BonChon

There are some 260 more cheap places on my "to try" list that I've compiled based on CH recommendations. If even only 50% of them turn out to be good . . .

[FrugalDanny]

Peri - Yes!.... Thks for info on Google maps and I appreciate your kind offer...
just glancing I like your picks
have to go to sleep

I need some ideas on how to split LA but do it so is easy to understand

[bfoster1970]

Father's Office is great for drinks with friends.

[CookieEater]

I personally think of Chinese, Vietnamese, or Filipino food as comfort food, particularly when you consider dumplings or soups. Ok really, anything with rice works for me. That's a huge category for me to breach, but just off the top of my head Luscious Dumpling and Golden Deli are pretty cheap.

I also put in another vote for Jongewaard's Bake n Broil. Food is definitely comfort food, though it can be hit and miss. But the baked goods are CHEAP for what you get, and always excellent.

[monku]

Chinese....Sam Woo BBQ's

[monku]

El Tepeyac doesn't exactly fit into my "cheap" eats category lately. Have you seen their prices? Most of their burritos are now $10 and my favorite Manuels Special (regular) is like $18 now. Saw a family of 5 eating there one day on the patio and I calculated their lunch must have been about $60.

[FrugalDanny]

True but burrito bigger than most heads .

[malibumike]

Yes but it is good, I just wish there was something like this closer to malibu

[ohdaylay]

Try the Tepeyac in Alhambra. Good prices, good eats. The place is hard to find, though. It is in an industrial park on Raymond or Palm. Can't remember right now, I'm thinking of their Hollenbeck. ummmmm

[monku]

Tried it many years ago when they first opened (near Costco) and wasn't anything special. They aren't and were never related to El Tepeyac on Evergreen.

[JeetJet]

Chicken pot pie is major comfort food

Moffett’s Family Restaurant, Chicken Pie Shoppe (Two great Soups everyday, Chicken Pot Pie either mixed white/dark meat or White Meat only, Beef Pot Pie, & fruit Pies, Must try the peach, pumpkin, and berry, Eat there or takeout (Also, uncooked beef or chicken pies to-go -- freeze and bake later)

[JeetJet]

Ogawak is correct adding donuts. Include Peacock Donuts to that list also. This guy got pride.

Peacock Donuts (Crullers, plan cake and iced cake -- especially the chocolate iced white cake, all things cinnamon)
34 E. Durate Rd. (1 block East of Santa Anita Ave. & plenty of parking in the rear)
Arcadia, CA 91006

Senor Fish
Canters
Andres Italian on 3rd Street

[FrugalDanny]

Mr Fish on 1st?

[Will Owen]

Señor Fish is also in South Pas (Mission at Grand, across from TJ's) and Eagle Rock Blvd. at Norwalk. I've found the flavors a bit better in SoPa, but the bosky little terrace on Eagle Rock is a much nicer place to be. Shrimp, scallop, and shrimp/scallop tacos highly recommended, as are the fish of course.

[FrugalDanny]

you don't hear bosky enough now a days for my tastes...
I've included !st ave. and yes also eagle rock because it looks real good and because it looks so overgrown with bosky!

[Will Owen]

They even have fake bird sounds twittering from the big tree in the middle - a tad over the top, but it's strangely pleasant. And of course it won't poop in your plate...

[FoodKitCat]

Touche on Canters. Nothing like kreplach soup served at 2 am by a surly waitress.

[Servorg]

I think my waitresses name was Shirley the last time I had soup at 2 AM...so I guess I almost had the perfect Canters experience! ;-D>

[Tripeler]

He said "surly" -- not Shirley, FWIW....well, close enough.

[Servorg]

Shirley, I was jesting (and I'll call you Shirley just this once)... ;-D>

[swimfin]

Tito's Tacos (Culver City)
Rick's Burgers (Pasadena)
Wolfe Burgers (Pasadena)
Tortas Mexico (Tujunga)

[FrugalDanny]

thks added tito rick & wolfe to the California page

[cls]

This being a very large and casual city, and looking at your list, I would say there are more restaurants that meet your criteria than don't. I.e. this is going to be a pretty long list...

[FrugalDanny]

Yeah! I may need to divide into neighborhoods

[Burger Boy]

When you say Howard's , are you talking about Howard's Bacon Avocado Burger's on Venice Blvd.? Sonora Cafe closed a few months ago, FYI. Where is Hooked on Fish & Panini Pizza? TYIA

[FrugalDanny]

yes Howard's Big Burger -11127 Venice Blvd
removed sonora - thks
hooked - 17200 Ventura Boulevard
panini pizza - 8849 West Sunset Blvd West Hollywood

[jencounter]

I'll happily second Danny's rec for Hook'd on Fish. I am addicted to their cajun seared ahi wrap. Great fish, cooked right (seared outside and rare inside) rolled up in a nice wrap with cabbage, rice and some kind of delicious cajun sauce, all for around $10.

In this economy, I keep worrying that they, like so many others, will disappear...particularly when you consider that the rent/lease cost in that center has got to be astronomical. Here's hoping they stick around!

[Will Owen]

Let us not be forgetting Pann's, whose pea soup has comforted the dickens out of me, repeatedly. All their other stuff, too. Leroy's in Monrovia is mighty comforting, as is Harry's in Burbank. And one could easily drown many bleak sorrows in Pies and Burgers...

[ChinoWayne]

The won ton soup and shrimp lo mein and shrimp egg foo young at Wang's Palace in Monrovia has comforted the poe out of me, and bloodlessly too. ;-)

[JeetJet]

Hey Wayne, I just drove by the new location of Wang's two nights ago. Still not open but i talked to the owner as the crew worked late building the dinning room and kitchen. He told me thinks they can open next month and to try again then. This is true comfort food.

[ChinoWayne]

Thanks, Jeet, we will really need our fix when they do open up.

[FrugalDanny]

Added Pann's right before Peter's Blue Chip - should probably put it after eh?

[Will Owen]

No, that's Panini's Pizza, not to be confused with. Doubt that Panini's Pizza has pea soup, though I could be wrong...

[Will Owen]

Oops, sorry - you meant you just added it to your own list. Never mind...

[mrshankly]

Will, I'm glad you mentioned the pea soup at Pann's. I had it last weekend (for the second time) and my only disappointment with it was that I didn't order a paint bucket's worth of it:) I could sit there and spoon that soup for an entire meal. What a comfort food their pea soup is followed by some of their hot wings.

[Wes]

We used to go to Pann's regularly but no more!

The prices on the new menu are totally ridiculous. Over $9 for a diner hamburger, etc. Everything is overpriced. You can go to your favorite specialty restaurant for the items you crave and save.

Too bad. I turned in my Pann's card.

[Servorg]

My birthday coupon gave me $8 off, so the burger would have been a dollar. Still a good value.

[JeetJet]

Hold-on Wes. I notice prices as much as anyone but two big factors come into play at Pann's -- best Fried chicken (wings or meal) and that Googie ambiance. With so many post in recent months about some of the best places closing up shop we have a duty to keep a place open that has the best fried chicken in town with the best "future" ambiance. If Pann's should close then we have only second best fried chicken and no more "future." Oh, did I mention the pea soup? and about those....

How about the 101? And Swingers? Also Applepan, The Griddle, and Astro-Burger.

[FrugalDanny]

terrific classics I added all of them

[kevin]

apple pan is not exactly cheap. neither is sonora cafe or chichen itza (at least not the restuarant0.

but most of these restaurants are delicious except perhaps tommy's.

[Burger Boy]

Sonora is closed.

[JeetJet]

kevin, have you had the breakfast sandwich on a English muffin or the
"Break Fast" burrito at Tommy's? Fast, cheap, comfort, and maybe the most "Los Angeles" of anything mentioned on this thread IMO. Same chili that they put on those chili dogs but something delicious happens to it when combined with all those other things (sausage, egg, cheese, mayo, pickel, tomato, onion, or in the burrito they include a hashbrown).

[Burger Boy]

that is so wrong with the egg, sausage and cheese, to add chili, pickles etc., is just WRONG!

[JeetJet]

Burger Boy, you go eat one of those Tommy's Original breakfast sandwiches on a English Muffin with "Everything" on it. After you finish it clean your face and hands three times and then type your response.

[Burger Boy]

I tried one, that was all she wrote, not my cup of tea!

[schrutefarms]

Tommy's IS delicious!!!
