Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: \u201cWhere should I eat?\u201c Here are four places to check out this weekend in Los Angeles. And if you need some ideas on where to drink, here\u2019s our list of the hottest places to get cocktails<\/a> in town.<\/p>\n

For smoky tacos from a stellar taquero: Tacos Royale in Silver Lake<\/p>\n

There are plenty of reasons to visit Tacos Royale<\/a>. Just take your pick: First, Tacos Royale\u2019s Hermosillo-style utilizes a unique preparation that trims the fat and nerves and cooks over a low flame, leaving tender and delightfully smoky meat. Second, there are ample deep-fried cracklings and a fire salsa bar. Owner Sa\u00fal P\u00e9rez Garc\u00eda uses organic beef tallow flour tortillas. Finally, there\u2019s a downstairs bar adjacent to the parking lot stand on West Sunset Boulevard near Coronado Street, where one can take an asada taco<\/a> or burrito and down it with cerveza. Go with a crew, add a pile of chips with guacamole to your order, and everyone will depart satisfied. 2511 W. Sunset Boulevard, Silver Lake, Los Angeles, CA. \u2014 Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California\/Southwest<\/p>\n

For a weekend pancake flight: Bea Bea\u2019s in Glendale and Burbank<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve long been singing the praises of Bea Bea\u2019s<\/a>, a diner-like brunch restaurant<\/a> imbued with Asian ingredients with locations in Burbank and Glendale. The star of Bea Bea\u2019s menu is their selection of pancakes \u2014 which includes (my personal favorite) the Green Tea Monster, a matcha pancake base topped with a fluffy green tea mascarpone cream, as well as a Thai tea riff, a nutty black sesame version, and cornbread pancakes paired with salted honey butter. The best part is you can order a flight of three pancakes \u2014 for the table, of course \u2014 so everyone can try their favorite. Pair the pancakes with something savory, like a breakfast burrito, huevos rancheros, or my go-to order, a loco moco with the burger patty swapped out for corned beef hash. Be sure to request a side of Thai chile fish sauce for added kick. 301 N. Central Avenue, Glendale, CA 91203. \u2014 Kat Thompson, audience editor, Eater Southern California\/Southwest<\/p>\n

For a low-key sports bar with great hops: We\u2019re Pouring in Glendale<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a superstitious sports fan<\/a> \u2014 I\u2019m too much of a nihilist to imagine anything I do matters in that way. But I happened to spend both of the last two Saturdays watching my beloved UCLA football team at the laid-back pub We\u2019re Pouring <\/a>in north Glendale, and both weeks the Bruins have scrapped their way to monumental victories. We\u2019re Pouring has a plethora of television screens; a great beer list featuring the likes of Green Cheek, Cellarmaker, de Garde, and Beachwood; an approachable menu of appetizers, burgers, tacos, and pizza; and a welcoming, low-key energy. Maybe the victories have something to do with it, but I\u2019ve been very happy to settle in with a couple of excellent IPAs and a surprisingly good pizza \u2014 the crust is thin and crispy; the cheese blend, nicely salty \u2014 and post up at the bar for several mostly excruciating hours of college football. UCLA plays Michigan State this Saturday, and I may well head back to We\u2019re Pouring. Better safe than sorry. 524 E. Glenoaks Boulevard, Glendale, CA 91207. \u2014 Ben Mesirow, editor, Eater Travel<\/p>\n

For affordable grab-and-go sushi: Tiger\u2019s Den in Koreatown<\/p>\n

Los Angeles\u2019s breadth of sushi options<\/a> makes it easy to casually grab impressive chirashi, rolls, and more at affordable prices without doing a whole sit-down dinner. One of the newer entrants to that genre, the casual Koreatown sushi and Japanese restaurant Tiger\u2019s Den<\/a>, has an interior that looks like a minimalist home goods store. On the hot rack, which is constantly replenished with fresh dishes, find unagi dons and karaage; the chilled sushi section holds chirashi sets that come in at around $30, along with softshell crab rolls, yellowtail nigiri, and vinegary sunomono. With Tiger\u2019s Den\u2019s proximity to the Koreatown location of Yama Sushi<\/a>, comparisons feel inevitable \u2014 luckily, they\u2019re both outstanding options at similar price points. If you\u2019re closer to the Wilshire side of Koreatown, give Tiger\u2019s Den a shot next time the sushi craving hits. Plus, there is a small dining room in the back to eat on site. 687 S. Hobart Boulevard, Suite D, Los Angeles, CA 90005. \u2014 Rebecca Roland, deputy editor, Eater Southern California\/Southwest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every Friday, our editors compile a trusty list of recommendations to answer the most pressing of questions: \u201cWhere…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":505598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[9662,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-505597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-dining-out-in-la","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=505597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/505597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/505598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=505597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=505597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=505597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
