"This massive restaurant in Sherman Oaks is an LA institution and perhaps your best chance at spotting your tax accountant and a Kardashian eating one booth apart. This is the kind of place where drunk locals and A-list celebrities commingle without anybody making a big deal of it. The margaritas are borderline lethal and that lobster quesadilla is a must-order. Casa Vega is a bit of a holy grail for Valley dwellers, so reservations are definitely encouraged on the weekends." - brant cox, garrett snyder, arden shore
