There’s always Chichen Itza at the Mercado Paloma down the street. The food court atmosphere is casual and there’s room for the kids to run around a bit if they get antsy…mine still do and they’re (10-13). I do like the conchinita pibil there.
yes, I am glad I found you guys!! Been out of the food scene for a few years…crazy what having two kids will do to you! but now that my kids are getting a little older we have had more time to finally venture out and about.
If you search “Pok Pok” here, you’ll see a couple topics on the subject. It’s gotten mixed reviews. In terms of actual space, I think they could accommodate you just fine, and it’s not overly fancy. I think it’s just the price / quality ratio and actual tastiness of the food.
I haven’t been yet, having seen too many mixed reviews to bother going, but there are some good recommendations from @Porthos and others for dishes that they do well (and other dishes to avoid). Good luck.
I guess maybe recommendations actually near USC are not wanted though? idk… that opens up so many possibilities that it seems hard to recommend anything in particular lol
Neither is Chinatown really. Ipseditxit’s rec of Revolutionario is prolly the best idea although I’d just go to La Taquiza and get some mulitas. Who wants to negotiate downtown traffic with multiple cars and hungry children
Dirt Dog LA: bacon wrapped dogs, burgers, street corn, churros, great fries, and most importantly, craft beer on draft, in case your neighbor is actually posing food in front of his/her toddler like above.
Feeding a buncha 3YOs “revolutionary” tacos is not my idea of a good time before/after either 1) seeing their siblings at USC 2) doing the CalScience/NatHist.
Actually it’s a favorite neighborhood place for kids and toddlers. Their cheese briks are always hit (Very easy for them to handle and tear up) as are the quesadillas (although they are huge).
Also, I haven’t done a compare between dirt dogs, but they just opened a Dog Haus quicky version over where Freebirds was.
