My Favorite Restaurants

As a musician in Los Angeles I get to visit many places in Southern California. I also LOVE delicious food! (Who doesn't?)

As such, I am always looking for good and affordable restaurants to eat and discovering new places as I play and teach all over the region — and I have discovered many great wonderful restaurants in Southern California. Sometimes a little hole in the wall is the best-kept secret in town. Here are some of my favorite restaurants that I have enjoyed and had a wonderful culinary experience!

This Restaurant is one of my favorite restaurants in Redlands, California.

I highly recommend it. Great menu and great service!

Cha-Cha's Tacos!.

A wonderful little "hole in the wall" restaurant in Redlands, California.

I love the Bean Tacos and the Chile Relleno Burritos, but the entire menu is wonderful!

Easy parking and, just sit in your car and eat or eat in the outside area of the restaurant.

The Diplomat - Monrovia, CA

Now, The Diplomat is certainly one of the best restaurants in Southern California. A fantastic delicious menu for every body. Great attentive and friendly service!

The Peach Cafe in Monrovia, CA. Call us at (626) 599-9092. Check out our location and hours, and latest menu with photos and reviews.www.thepeachcafe.com/

While in Monrovia, California, you need to visit The Peach Cafe. A small but great restaurant with a fantastic menu with affordable tasting dishes. I know you will love it.

Now, we are seriously talking here. Perhaps the best French Restaurant in Los Angeles. I never had a bad meal or a bad experience at Taix. I just wish they had outside sitting so that I can visit Taix with friends that are comfortable sitting indoors in restaurants. I love this place!

Perhaps my favorite Mexican Restaurant in Los Angeles. In the Montrose area of California. Near Glendale, California.

The whole menu is fantastic. Specially the "COMBOS" and the soups. A very delightful and tasty menu! Also, very highly recommended!
