For a city that has a reputation for being snooty and uppity, there are several modest LA restaurants where the focus is on food rather than ambience or décor. These local establishments range from food trucks to hole-in-the-wall fast-food joints, and dish up delicious fare from around the globe. So whether you’re craving some Mexican heat, a good ol’ American hot dog (Pink's Hot Dogs is the go-to venue for the best chilli cheese dog in LA), a sloppy French sandwich (served with a side of gravy which you’re meant to dip into), or a freshly squeezed fruit juice—these local favourites present flavours from around the world, and are ideal for quick meals when you don’t want to bother with table bookings, queues or reservations.
