Best Affordable Los Angeles Restaurants to Eat at for Under $25 This Summer | Eater LA

"Weekday lunch platter specials from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. run just $15 here, with generously portioned plates featuring sirloin steak, well-seasoned fish, a pork chop, grilled chicken, or vegetables plus black beans, rice, salsa, and plantains. It’s easy to tack on a Brazilian pastel with ground beef and cheese or the empanada pie stuffed with chicken or hearts of palm, and it’s common to see groups watching futbol in one of the neighborhood’s oldest spots for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Must-try dishes: pork chop platter, linguica sandwich." - Rebecca Roland
