Reviews Tagged “South Bay”
- Coffee Cartel ★★★★★ Offbeat local coffee house with atmosphere that makes you want to hang out there.
- El Amigo #3 ★★★★★ Great spot for takeout Mexican food. I particularly like their Chile Relleno. Dine-in, limited parking.
- Entradero Park Loop ★★★★☆ Relaxing walk through scrub habitat around a basin with restored wetlands. Not much shade, good for spotting birds.
- Hopkins Wilderness Park ★★★★☆ A good place to bring your kids or just take a shady walk in something that feels like nature. Lightly wooded, some hills, trails, a stream and a duck pond, plus picnic areas and camping.
- Madrona Marsh Preserve ★★★★★ One of my favorite places to walk in the South Bay: the last remnant of seasonal marshes that once covered the western part of the LA basin.
- Natureba ★★★★★ Tiny small business, great smoothies and tropical juices, plus Brazillian-style grilled sandwiches and Açaí bowls.
- Taishi Hainan Chicken ★★★★★ Variations on chicken and rice, all of them good.
- The Comic Bug ★★★★★ Open, inviting, and kid-friendly, with friendly staff and a wide selection. Frequent artist/writer signings.
- The Empanada Shop ★★★★★ Great selection of both meat and veggie fillings, plus desserts (the chocolate one is intense).
- Union Pizza ★★★★★ Thin-crust pizzas are good, deep-dish pizzas are REALLY good. My favorite is the Classic Deep Dish (spinach, roasted garlic, ricotta and mushrooms) - and normally I don’t even like mushrooms.
