French Restaurant · Financial District · 41 tips and reviews
Susana Castillo: Good quick breakfasts and delicious pastry
Hanh N: Kouign amann is delicious, with a buttery sugar filling. Macarons are hit or miss, salted caramel has hard, crunchy shells but the other flavors have the right texture. Zucchini soup is very good!
Mario A: The food is good yet very expensive. A salad, which is not that large, and a drink will just be under 20 dollars.

Fried Chicken Joint · South Park · 43 tips and reviews
Maria Davila: The breakfast sandwich, birdie bites, cinnamon toast crunch donut, maple bacon donut is what we ordered and was delicious.
Adrian Phillips: They give out donut samples, lots of them. The Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich is a great start to the day if you feel like skipping the egg sandwiches. It's not too spicy and the chicken is perfect.

Taco Restaurant · 106 tips and reviews
Vincent Ong: Guisados in DTLA, can find elsewhere too. Try out The Sampler (6 mini tacos) for different meats and their housemade tortillas.
Bubsy: Get the sampler! They tell me they are BYOB until they get their alcohol permit.🍻
Edgar Varela: Get the Sampler, it's the best way to figure out what your favorite taco is. Experiment and discover new flavors.
Andrew Galdi: Great lunch spot. The line can be long but moves quickly. If you like the hand rolls at Sugarfish, you'll love this place!
Adrian Phillips: Just line up and wait for some seats to free up. Only thing on the menu is the delicious warm rice and crunchy hand rolls. Blue Crab and Lobster are my personal favorites. Going solo is great too.
Michiel de Vries: Delicious and fresh hand rolls. Wait for a seat to open up, sit down and be amazed. Lobster, salmon and blue crab were my favorites.

Bakery · Downtown Los Angeles · 56 tips and reviews
AMW: In my opinion, LA's best bakery, with fresh pastries, focaccia breads, quiches, sandwiches...all handmade on-site daily.
Rachael Rendon: Free refills on coffee :)
Tasting Table: Pick up a feta-cheese croissant, an elegant knot of dough speckled with poppy and sesame seeds. It truly earns the bakery its place among the neighboring artist studios and galleries: Read more.

Deli · 40 tips and reviews
Zachary Steinback: Get the OG and a chocolate egg cream shake. Best pastrami in the city.
Lawrence T: Highly suggest the Reuben instead of the MacArthur Park, which was made to please the fans of another awesome deli.
LA Weekly: You must try Wexler's lox: Slick, supple and delicate, the cured salmon tastes like a rushing mountain river in the same way an ultra-fresh oyster tastes like the soul of the ocean. Read more.

Kirill Ryadchenko: That's the best chicken wings place in DTLA. Also it gray for late night bite. But don't walk there take an uber or drive.
Didier Dorga: Wings and fries!
Adrian Phillips: Dinner plate with two sides comes with tasty fried wings smothered in hot sauce. Get extra wings & cornbread if you're really hungry. The greens are really tasty too, sweet & spicy.
