Sittin’ at The Park on a Sunday afternoon…

actually it was a friday night. (but it made for a good title from an old skool LSOB song. HA!)
Enjoyed a great meal here and you can’t beat the price of $20 for their Friday Supper Club. A meal that includes an appetizer, an entree and a small dessert. A small place where you won’t need a reservation and where their menu will surprise with a variation of flavors using seasonal ingredients.
I will definitely come back for a price like this, it cant be beat with the caliber of food that they serve.

Drive slow on Sunset because you might just miss it. There is no parking lot so you will have to find street parking and watch out for the weekends, it also gets crowded.

Wednesdays is also $5 burger night, which makes it the perfect price for a poor broke-ass like me.

Ajos Y Cebollas

Cozy little place in South El Monte.  Good mexican food with a twist.  They really try to be different here.  They have some standard fare but some things stood out.

Standouts:

Their appetizer the “Queso Fundido con Chorizo” was awesome, a little greasy but filled with flavor, comes with grilled green onions and tortillas.

Their other standout dish in my mind (how ironic that i forgot the name) was the dessert,  it was basically like a pancake/crepe stuffed with dulce de leche, topped with strawberries, whipped cream.

TRY IT! food was good, big portions, comfortable ambience.
