You need to eat in Atwater and Atwater adjacent more often. Tacos Villa Corona or the Cuban place or Indochine or Astro Family Restaurant or...
Lots in Atwater for less than $40, but I don't think you can beat the Taco place. Seriously the best tacos and burritos in the city...if not the world.
Somehow even at Indochine we end up dropping two Jacksons. Everything looks so good. And then there's dessert. And some fancy drinks. And... and... well, you get the point.

I always spend way more than that at Trader Joes'. It's all those dern impulse buys they put up at the registers that you end up staring at as you wait in some terrible line.
Don't you think Atwater could use its own dern Trader Joe's? I'm tired of going to the fashionshowSilverlakeTJs or the supercrowdedGlendale one...
Well, you can't go to the taco place at night, but as God as my witness, you have got to try the taco place for either breakfast or lunch. It's spectacular.
Tacos are a buck fifty. Burritos like 3 bucks.
And they are so friendly. You gotta go.
It's those little round tins of dark chocolate that always push me over $30 at Trader Joe's. Just dropping by for some eggs and cereal? HA!
Silverlake TJs is full of people who want you to think they're more famous than you are while they secretly suspect you are more famous than them.
