This place is okay. I'm Cuban so I guess it hits the spot when I'm craving my food. It's close by and convenient but I prefer El Cochinito in Silverlake (about 15 mins. away on Sunset)

MY NUMBER #1 choice for a Thai massage. $40 for an hour. Very clean place and the staff are the nicest people. If you like deep tissue I recommend Ellen or Pam.

A better choice than Vons. If you're from outside the state or country it's a smaller grocery store with more gourmet items. It has practically everything. We love TJ's in Los Angeles.
