"Everything is made on-site at Limone, which opened a second location in Torrance on April 15 after its mid-2022 debut that quickly built a loyal following; co-founder and chef Luis Gonzalez, who spent years working in hotel restaurants like the Beverly Hills Hotel and the Sunset Marquis, led the expansion toward the South Bay’s Enclave food hall. The cooking leans California Mediterranean: think marinated chicken served over za’atar fries with warm laffa flatbread, Greek or chopped salads topped with salmon or harissa steak, chicken shawarma wraps, and a massive mezze board featuring traditional hummus, baba ghanoush, and tzatziki. Lunch is usually well under $20, and there’s plenty of outdoor seating with the bonus of other vendors nearby, including Nook Coffee and HiroNori Craft Ramen." - Mona Holmes
