"We’ve officially entered the “outer suburb shopping mall” section of the guide, which is when all the Cheesecake Factories really start to blur together. The Cerritos one, however, is arguably the best of them, assuming you don’t mind the covered patio that faces the 605. The generic-but-roomy space sits on a quiet edge of Los Cerritos Center, which means an asphalt ocean of open parking spots, and it’s attached to a lovely movie theatre (the highly underrated Harkins, with its comfy power-recline seats), making it ideal for a little lunch-matinee combo." - Garrett Snyder
