Dinner at Lord Empanada, on the east side of Myrtle just south of the freeway. Got three empanadas, beef, chicken, and spinach-cheese, for $3.50 each (they also have sandwiches) and blindly grabbed a canned drink I later figured out was a mimosa, for $10. All three empanadas were very good but my favorite was the spinach-cheese. 
Dinner at the new Mikomi Sushi, moved to the former T Phillips site at the corner of Myrtle and Colorado. The location has been nicely redone. I got the Chicken Katsu for $16.95 and a beer for $5.95. A very tasty and generous portion of chicken, good service, and it came with a green salad and some very nice tempura, not shown. 
Dinner at Basin 141, at the corner of Myrtle and Lime. Got the Chicken Mole Tacos for $13 and a beer for $6. Really good. 
Dinner at JB Burgers, at the corner of Myrtle and Olive. Got the Double Burger for $5.75 and a small drink for $2. Double because it had two patties. Very good burger at a very good price!
Dinner tonight at the Mayan Bar and Restaurant, in the Aztec Hotel at Foothill and Magnolia. Got the Fish Fillet for $10 and a beer at the $4 happy hour price. Very good and the back patio was pleasant in the early evening. 
Lunch at Las Marias, in the mini-mall on Foothill and Alta Vista. Got the Soft Taco and Chile Relleno combination for $9.49 and an iced tea for $2.10. Very good!
Dinner at Sushi Kuni on the east side of Myrtle a bit north of Olive. Got the spicy pork bento box for $19.99 and a beer for $6. Very good! and the chef even came out and greeted us. 
Dinner from Church’s Chicken, at the corner of Huntington and Shamrock. I got the three-piece Texas Tenders with creamy jalapeño dipping sauce. There’s no dining at the restaurant so we ate at home. I got four pieces of chicken (by accident?) and it came with a side (I picked coleslaw) and a drink, all for $7.99. Nothing fancy but tasty chicken at a good price. 
Dinner at the new Hella Bird fried chicken restaurant in the Sprouts shopping area at Huntington and Alta Vista. Got the KJ Chicken for $14 and a drink for $2.50. Very good! The restaurant has a help wanted sign in the window, which probably explains the very long wait. I’d call your order in early. 
Dinner at Cafe Mundial, on the east side of Myrtle just north of Colorado. Got the tri tip for $26 and a beer for $7. Filling and fine. 
Dinner at Luscious Dumplings, in the shopping area at Duarte and Sixth. Got the Steamed Soup Dumplings for $11 and a Diet Coke for $1.50. Very tasty! (By the way, the name is being changed to Mason’s Dumpling Shop.)
Dinner at Los Gueros, on the north side of Huntington just west of Magnolia. Got the chicken enchilada for $10.98 and an iced tea for $3.25. Very good!
Dinner tonight at Copper Still Grill, on the east side of Myrtle just south of Colorado. Got the TexMex Chicken Salad for $11.50 and a beer for $4.95. Interesting, a salad you can eat by hand. And it was very good!
Got dinner from Alitalia Pizza, at the northeast corner of Foothill and Madison. Take-out only and cash only. Got an extra large pizza for $14 plus $4 for two toppings (sausage and pepperoni) and an antipasto salad for $9. Nice!
Dinner at The Monrovian, at the northeast corner of Myrtle and Colorado. Got the Avocado Toast for $10.50, the Simple Salad for $4, and a beer for $7.50. Lots of avocado and the salad was indeed “simple,” but also generous. Really good!
Dinner from Kiku Sushi, at the west end of the Huntington Oaks shopping center. I got the Udon and Spicy Tuna Roll for $12.99 and a beer for $5.99. Very good!
Dinner at Jim’s Burgers, at Sixth and Duarte Road. Got the pastrami sandwich for $9.69 and an iced tea for $1.59. Very good.
