Takeout - Midwilshire/Koreatown/Downtown
I'm meeting someone at the Music Center tonight and we don't have time to have a sit-down dinner so I am planning on picking some food along the way and having a quick bite outside the theater. Any suggestions for good takeout that we can eat outside at the Music Center?
I will be driving from the westside, probably along Olympic. I would like to find a place that is pretty easy to get in and out of (or where a server will bring the food to the car).
I was considering Mozza2Go for a salad and a pizza, but I wanted something warm and was afraid that a pizza would be cold and soggy by the time I get there. Plus, some of the Yelp comments have indicated service at Mozza2Go can be less than reliable and I need to make sure the food is ready for pick-up at the time indicated.

Thank you. Mendocino Farms was perfect. I managed to get in and out in about 15 minutes. Parking was validated in the building. We had a pork belly banh mi sandwich and a drunken goat on highway 128 sandwich (goat cheese and brie on cranberry walnut bread), plus two side salads and two large drinks. The total was about $30 with tax. The bank mi was fantastic. The other sandwich was good, but a little sweet for my tastes. I would have done soup, but I did not like the options.

The small to-go cafe/stand in the Music Center plaza is really quite decent and obviously very convenient. I've enjoyed their salads and paninis before shows (pre-made but good for what they are). I seem to recall that they also have chili and soup. Obviously, you can find more interesting food en route, but this is a reliable alternative if you don't want to worry about timing/parking/traffic, etc.

Ok, is it just too obvious for everyone on Chowhound to actually post it?
Even though I am not a fan ... how about Langer's (assuming you get there by 4)?

Anything on the menu at Langer's can be ordered to go and picked up with Curb Service at their front door.

re: ipsedixit
Sorry, I should have mentioned that Langer's is not an option because it closes at 4 pm. The opera is at 7:30 pm, so I am looking to pick something up en route to arriving at the Music Center around 6:30 pm (i.e., I would aim to pick-up at Mozza at 5:30 or downtown at approximately 6 pm).
