  • Savory

    Each time we trek out to Point Dume we find something else cooked by Paul Shoemaker to marvel over. On our latest visit, it was his pizza. Super, super crisp, the pies are all crunch and char, with almost no chew to the dough (their only detriment). The toppings change regularly, so you might find, in addition to a margherita, a pizza topped with fennel sausage and buratta.

  • Mariscos Jaliscos

    The shrimp taco dorados served at this Eastside truck are well-worth driving for--no matter where in Los Angeles you may live. This particular style of taco is fried, leaving the tortillas crisp-edged and wonderfully crunchy.

  • La Otra Taqueria Escuela

    Steven Arroyo has brought the taqueria cooking we loved at Escuela around the corner and on to Beverly Blvd., where his old restaurant, Cobras & Matadors, once stood. The taco is similar to the nearby outpost, but there are a number of larger plates, including an excellent pork chile verde, that make this restaurant a destination in its own right.

  • North Pond

    The Green City Market is nearing peak season, and one of the best places to feast on its riches is just north of the market tents. Go for local berries, sweet peas and other early summer perks--and toast chef Bruce Sherman for his recent Best New Chef in the Great Lakes Region award from the James Beard Foundation.

  • Mole

    Pair the pineapple-studded tacos al pastor with a Paloma, a mix of tequila, lime and grapefruit soda, at this crowded and low-lit West Village Mexican favorite. The festive restaurant is the ideal place to split a plate of cheesy enchiladas.
