Great food and most all good value. Any fast food Chinese take out joints: Panda Express, etc. 2 meat items plate $10, if you're a senior less 10% discount. Hawaiian plate lunch, 2 meat items, rice, mac salad $11 less 10% senior discount. Most of all, the orders come out very fast. You can eat in no time, beats any sit down type restaurants.
Portions are Mucho. Heck one plate feeds me 3 meals...
Many fast foods give 10% discount to seniors 62 yrs age, but you gotta tell them before paying or AAA discounts as well...

For sure, Street Tacos. $2.00 to $2.50, good variety of meats. Love street tacos + tasty salsas + da condiments. Fast orders, eat right there in your car or benches. Street taco vendors are found in most towns in the greater Los Angeles area. Not too sure about other states and towns?

Jersey Mikes sandwich. Great deli sandwiches + fast orders. Pricey though. Sometimes we get printed discounts via mail. Unfortunately no senior discounts.

Quality is always the same, can't beat the value.
Sorry guys, but I just can’t help it..
Jack in the Box tacos do it for me late at night.

Top shelf stoner food. 2/99¢ in the app.
I agree JM's is great. It's hard to find a really good Deli sandwich and JM's quality is worth the price. I love it Mikes Way with the red wine vinegar and oil.
Tommy's breakfast sandwich is killer too. Sausage patty with their chili, cheese, an egg, tomato etc. Their breakfast burrito's are great too.Tommy’s bur
Back in the day we would hit the old Tommy's in Eagle Rock after a night of partying. Next day my car would smell like Tommy's all day
I prefer JM to Subway or Togo's. However, I don't eat bread anymore so I order JM's tuna tub which is the sandwich, minus the bread. Only 8 grams of carbs, but 22 grams of protein. They add the right amount of pepper and I like the small chunks of celery.
I'm always sus of any product claiming to be "healthy". I checked the nutrition and ingredients on this one...
44 grams of carbs! Yikes. 570 mg of sodium.
First ingredient I came to that was an instant no for me is carrageenan. It's used as an emulsifier and is absolutely a cancer-causing additive. The canola and soy were also a no.
It's affordable and quick and does have good protein. Just not healthy. And I get that most fast food isn't healthy, I object to those who market themselves as such.
I did like those. I also liked the El Pollo crunchy tacos but they don't serve them anymore.
Veebs, your JM order with no bread made me think about this order. Awhile back, I was at McDonald's with my family. I'm in line, in front of me were an Indian (India) mom with 2 kids ordering. She orders 3 Big Macs no meat and emphasizes to put lots of lettuce and tomatoes. The McDonald's girl says please repeat dat again. So she tells da girl her order. The McDonald's girl said, sorry we do not have tomatoes, we can put extra lettuce, but I must charge you the full price. The Indian mom said, no tomatoes, the McDonald's in India have tomatoes. Girl replies, maybe so, but not here in California. Dam, I kept thinking she paid full price for 3 Big Mac’s without da meat and tomatoes…

Dave’s Hot Chicken! Fastest growing fast food chain for a reason! Their fries are so damn good too!
For burgers, In-n-Out DDAS!

Another sinful pleasure is the pastrami burger from “the hat”, although the mad Greek made a pretty decent one too..
Not a sammich connoisseur, but I've never heard of Capriotti's or The Bobbie. Apparently it's a chain from Delaware and Bobbie was the original owner's aunt. Sounds a lot like the Moist Maker from Friends which I also knew nothing about (because I didn't watch the show) until coming across an article last year.
Best deli sammich I ever had was at Canter's. Their Challah bread is outrageous. Plus they have a bakery side and they make the best rugula. I wish they weren't so far away.
King Taco carne asada burro and al pastor or asada street tacos both with salsa roja! La bomba!
Portillo's Italian Beef w/Peppers...their chili dogs are good, as well

Agree Ride....however a tip to beginners at Daves......just get the lowest heat chicken for starters....its hot enough!
Tacos De Ensenda are awesome in Duarte and Arcadia....authentic real mexican food.... Fire Depts line up for tacos
The Hat owners (brothers) are SC Alum. One of the brothers has a mansion on Oak Grove in San Marino with an SC flag outside. Many years ago as a water company CS rep I got called to check out a loud vibrating noise in their classic old mansion. I went to the basement which was very large and sure enough every few minutes there would be the loud vibrating noise which even vibrated the huge wooden beams under the house. So, I knew it was water related. I asked if they had a bathroom nearby......they showed me to the maids quarters which was in the basement. once inside I went directly to the bathroom...(not in the literal sense-))......I lifted the toilet tank top and sure enough there was an intermittent toilet leak at the flapper.....so when the level got low the toilet would refill causing the brass rod with the float would vibrate like a tuning fork and in turn would make the whole house vibrate. Sorry for the long story.....I encountered so many interesting situations in my 35 years as a water worker, I could write a book....-)....Like one time cutomer said they were getting blue water at their kitchen sink....I WAS LIKE YA SURE YOU ARE.....but sure enough I opened their spigot ands yup....blue water. It was a low pressure area and so the upstairs commode was back siphoning back into supply line and coming out on the first floor. It was coming from that blue toilet cleaner inn the tank.....ok stories over...sorry.........BTW Hat guy gave me a free Pastrami and fries
But my main job was to prove the blue water was not coming from our water supply
Never heard of a toilet tank that leaked back into the water line.. not doubting it, just surprised.
I was surprised too.....glad it wasnt brown water-)Never heard of a toilet tank that leaked back into the water line.. not doubting it, just surprised.
