5 Best Restaurants in El Monte, California You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

El Monte, California — a city where the San Gabriel Mountains rise blue and gentle beyond the rooftops, where bougainvillea spills over stucco walls, and where the scent of tortillas, pho, and barbecue mingles in the evening air. Here, neighborhoods are stitched together by generations of families, newcomers from across the Pacific, and dreamers who built their futures on these sun-warmed streets. The city hums with the laughter of children in pocket parks, the wisdom of elders at corner bakeries, and the quiet pride of shopkeepers who greet you by name.

Tiny Naylor's: The Hollywood Drive-In That Couldn't Be Saved

How many readers remember Tiny Naylor’s Drive-In? Motorists coming up to the northwest corner of Sunset and La Brea used to have one of Hollywood's most unique sights. There was a vast winged roof under which cars would gather around a restaurant that was brilliantly lit. Carhops in uniform would come out and serve you your meal. You could eat in your car, movie stars would come in and have their meal in their car, the teens would drive past hoping to see a celebrity and the hungry night owls would know they could have a meal at any time of the night. That was Tiny Naylor's Restaurant and Drive-In at 7101 Sunset Boulevard. It was one of the landmarks of Hollywood, as much a part of the Hollywood scene as the studios, the theatres and the nightclubs.

Los Angeles Pizza Worth Seeking

Don’t bother comparing Los Angeles pizza to New York City. It’s a total waste of time. I grew up in New Jersey, so I initially gravitated toward New York City style pizza, since that’s what was readily available. Restaurant competition was pretty fierce, so even neighborhood spots in the Tri-state area were pretty good. Since then, I’ve enjoyed great pizza in cities like Chicago, New Haven, Trenton, San Francisco, Seattle, blah, blah, blah. Good pizza is good pizza, wherever it’s made.
