Comments on Dept. of It's About Time

what the fuck is the allure of 13 Coins? Outrageously priced diner food served in a retro 70's hotel restaurant, but not meant ironically.

I think Crave sucks. I just wanted to say that.

YES!!! at at Memos for the first time 2 nights ago, and it is amazing!! proper Southern California Mexican Take-out, in the vien of Albertos (Abiertos, Robertos).

Beans made with LARD (Check)
Fresh tortillas (Check)
Open 24-7 (Check)

Thank you Mr. Garcia!!

I'll have to give Memo's a shot then.

Oh my...Memos is right across the street from me. I thought it looked fairly promising, now I'm downright excited. Especially about the 24 hours part, I can't believe I didn't notice that before.

This morning I went in for an egg and potato burrito and the guy at the counter said every night shift has been crazy - and that it was hard for those speaking english as a second language to understand drunks. So, drunken patrons, enunciate as best you can. These guys have your best interests at heart.

This place and Guanaco's have made all my dreams come true for the U-D.

We need more 24 hour or at least late night food places desperately!

Mexican food is delicious and all, but it's about the last cuisine type I think of at 3 AM.

Still, SO glad to see a 24 hour after the death of IHOP.

24 Mexican food on the ave? Jesus, why the fuck didn't I think of that. Memo's has the potential to make a killing.

13 Coins does suck. I never understood the appeal of the place.

The only appeal of the 13 coins WAS the decor!

I once worked for this very sleazy bullshitter, who would have these awful luncheon "meetings" at the 13 coins. There, and that other place that used to be on Westlake (the Joker?)

Anyway, we'd be sitting in those dorky 70's "executive-style" booths, and I'd be stuffing myself with celery and olives from the relish tray both to keep from laughing at that clown, and because the food was so expensive (he never picked up the tab, so I'd get a cheese sandwich or something like that)

I'm happy to let that particular piece of history go. But if you were talking about the Gold Coin lounge in the old Kennedy Hotel. That would be another matter.

Sweet news about the place on the Ave.

I liked the old 13 Coins - now I'll have someplace to go after the horrible redesign there.

FANF*CKINGTASTIC!

I miss Pepe's On University Way!
Lots of food, very little money.

MY God, Memos is a block from my house, and I can't stop eating there. IT's cheaper and easier than buying groceries and cooking.

Their horchata is fan fucking tastic too. Rice milk with just enough cinnamon to leave a mark. Damn it, im gonna have to go there now....
