Settebello Pizza in Pas?

Yeah, I love the sauce. Even if the pizza I am ordering does not usually come with it, I have them put it on. Delicious!

Hi Moose! So glad you liked it. Yeah, for some reason they do not seem able to read the order fully. Makes me crazy!! I am glad it was good even without it though. I have never tried the CC burrito; maybe next time if I can get past ordering the B&C! ;-) LMK if you try it.

;-). Yeah, their beans are very velvety and their tortillas are chewy and smooth!

I love them, too. Easy beans, easy onions, extra cheese and extra, extra red sauce. With lotsa hot sauce. ;-)

Yes, their food is delicious. My favorite there is the Burrito de Bistek Encebollado. Absolute perfection.

Long Beach lunch - tomorrow?

I will be taking a Ceramics class in Long Beach tomorrow and I need someplace to have a late lunch in the area. It seems all the recs here for the area are about a year old. Any new recs? Old ones would be appreciated, too. Any types of food welcome. Thanks!

Truly excellent Mexican-American/Cal-Mex restaurants in the LA area?

Las Fuentes has always been one of my favorites.

Hi Bear! Yes, it seems that way. Maybe they are franchised. I will need to try the B&C from the one at Rosemead and Garvey since I love B&C burritos! Thanks.

If not a BURRITO, then what? (rec. for Pasadena NELA)

ns1 - yeah, since Roma's sammy got so popular, he started making a bunch and has them sitting on the counter so you can just pick them up. for some reason, they don't taste as good as when he would make then specially for me.

Also, I noticed that Alberto's has them.

There are others. I personally prefer the one on Fair Oaks north of the 210. They are open til pretty late. Also, the one on Orange Grove is good.

Just had the Bean & Cheese burrito (add Enchilada sauce inside) from Alberto's (the one across from PCC). It is huge! It was okay. I had it once before and remember it being better but maybe that was because I had the sauce inside and on top with cheese! I love their tortilla, though. Their beans are pretty good, too. Have been to that location as well as the one in La Puente. The LP location seems to have different salsas than the Pasadena one. I prefer the Pasadena location. On a side note, I also got an Al Pastor taco ($1) and their AP was pretty good - in case anyone wants to try an AP burrito for the team! Still does not beat Sabroso's, though.
I will have it when I get to the valley next, but wanted to mention my all-time favorite non-Bean & Cheese burrito so people who are in the area before I get to one can try it. Las Fuentes in Reseda - their Burrito de Bistek Encebollado (steak and grilled onions). Only thing I have ordered from there since the early 80s. I ask them to cook the steak medium rare. Delicious with sliced avocado inside and the spicy green avocado and house salsas on top! It is a thing of beauty!
<edit>: I was just looking at Alberto's menu and they have a Chile Relleno Burrito $3.99.

Pasadena pizza delivery or pick-up

I know this is too late, but I wanted to throw in my rec... I always ordered from Carmine's on Fair Oaks when I lived in Pasadena (they deliver) - very good pizza (along with their other food).

Don't know about the BB. I will keep my eyes out for you (not literally!). Seems that they are now just the same as all the other TBs in California. I know for a fact that you can still get the Chilito at TBs in Wisconsin and Minnesota. :-)

Hi SLG. My friend loves CRBs and she gets them at Mijares in Pasadena. I have never had them, so cannot comment.

Burritos - LA Dish of the Month (April 2013)

The bean & cheese burrito at Sabroso's in Winnetka. Best one I have ever had and I had it again yesterday. They put their red enchilada sauce inside - well, it says it on the menu and they used to do it automatically, but recently even if I remind the guy when I place the order they still forget. Their beans are delicious and their salsas are great. Still the best B&C burrito I have ever had (and I try new places all the time). Have been going there since the 80s.

Hi Kevin. TB off Grand (I think it is Glendora) no longer makes the Chilito. I found that out about a year ago. I was very sad.

Eggs - LA Dish of the Month (March 2013)

Hickory Maple Waffle Benedict from Peach Cafe in Monrovia. Total artery-clogger, which is why I have it only once a year, but when they get the egg perfect, it is really good - and very unique. Bacon, maple syrup and cornmeal waffle with poached eggs and topped with a cheese sauce.

Great, thank you for setting me straight - taxi it will be! ;-) I work across the street from a Hilton and the food is bad.

Near Louis Armstrong Airport?

Thank you all! I truly appreciate your assistance. I will not have a car, so I will either be hoofing it or taking a taxi. Now I have a lot of (more!) research to do! Thank you again!
