    I just moved to LA last week so I'll be around if you want to hit up a vegan spot for dinner on Thursday night (Don't Call It A Date-related). PM me if you want to link up.b,121b,121Unfortunately I'm going to a friend's 60s soul/mod night on Friday and Pasadena record swap was this past Sunday.b,121b,121b,121 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/son.gif" alt="" 21

    font class="post"1b,121b,121WHAT THEME IS THE FRY'S??? b,121If it's a good one then it could be worth it to get a...usb drive or something...!?!? Actually, probably not, it's El Segundo. b,121Don't they all (or many) have ridiculous outer space (more for your spaceship architecture stuffs) or sci-fi jungle themes?b,121b,121If the vegan spot on Sunset you're talking about is Flore, I have to say that while it's probably the last place I'd suggest to go, it is actually quite tasty! It actually was the last place I ate in LA before heading back to the bay- had a sammich n soup, but it was done right.b,121b,121For Sunday brunch/breakfast/lunch, get your MAMA'S HOT TAMALES ON!! 7th near Carondelet (Mac Park)...that shit is tasty. Thinking about it makes me want some right now.

    PARU'S ON SUNSET!!!!
  • grandpa_shiggrandpa_shig 5,799 Posts
    "the vegan spot" is actually run by the same fools that run flore. except there is no table service and there are less hipsters up in it. its meant to feel like a fast food chain but the food is still very good. i prefer this over flore cuz its a lot less obnoxious. though i think flore is pretty good food wise.b,121b,121el segundo fry's has a post rodney king looted theme with a tinge of tropical madness.b,121b,121yo moist, remember in 3 ninjas: high noon at mega mountain when the 3 ninjas were severely outnumbered by lothar zogg's army of goons but they worked together with hulk hogan to re-establish his street cred while concurrently kicking major ninja butt? yeah bro, be the tum-tum. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" 21b,121b,121paru's is great! but everytime ive gone, there have been cockroaches in the dining area. not that i mind, but it is kind of distracting.
  • grandpa_shiggrandpa_shig 5,799 Posts
    mama's is also great! however, im not sure it can be classified as vegan and their menu changes i believe daily. they have a few standard tamales that they offer but they rotate different types of regional central and south american tamales. im pretty sure if the arent filled with meat, theyre filled with cheese. except for the sweet ones. but its a great restaurant with a great gift shop and great food. bien! b,121b,121also, la indiana tamales in east la is prolly my favorite tamale joint in LA.
  • soulmarcosasoulmarcosa 4,296 Posts
    Some more good spots:b,121b,121- Cinnamon vegan mexican restaurant on Figueroa in Highland Parkb,121- Greenleaves vegan thai & everything else on Hillhurst in Los Felizb,121- Truly vegan thai on Hollywood Blvdb,121b,121And I think I ride for Paru... I'm pretty sure I went there about 3 years ago. Does it have a covered patio in front?

  • grandpa_shiggrandpa_shig 5,799 Posts
    the problem with ALL asian vegan joints is that their asian vegan food is absolute shit. there is no getting around it. truly vegan thai makes some of the worst thai food ever. that being said, they can freak the F*ck out of a sammich. get their white man food.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121YEP! They used to be open for lunch too, but these days I think they're only open for dinner. As for the cockroaches, that's super gross, but then the food is so yummy and the folks (Canon!) are so nice, you still wanna eat there. b,121b,121I also gotta shout out LEONOR'S in Noho on Victory Blvd off the 170. Even though it's been ages since I've eaten there, AND I got in a really bad head-on collision not far from there, I still love their flax seed tea and food- Mexican Veg/Vegan eats plus pizza, a combo I never really got, but then what's there to get?? It's one of those places that's on the health food tip without looking like it but by just sticking to making good food.
  • grandpa_shiggrandpa_shig 5,799 Posts
    oh and 1 last thing about elf cafe in echo park is that they dont use none of that fake meat shit. its all vegetables and u dont even care that there aint no satan up in that shit.

    and again, i hate to repeat it cuz those assholes arent even paying me or nothen but as a non-vegan vegan-food eater, elf cafe is really really good. if u go anywhere i suggest u go here. your breath will be stinky so go on your off nite or whatevers, but seriously, deFUCKENlicious, cinderFUCKENrella. img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" 21
