The 16 Best Restaurants In Pasadena - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"SCR/TGM, as we’ll call it for short, is a collaboration by two Smorgasburg vendors: Indian-Mexican-inspired Saucy Chick and birria specialists Goat Mafia. This order-at-the-counter spot in East Pasadena boasts a huge fusion menu that actually works, including smoky goat birria tacos and papri chaat nachos doused in spicy chutney. Get the tangy pibil-marinated rotisserie chicken with creamy chorizo-infused beans and flour tortillas if you’re looking for a casual meal that’s quick, flavorful, and well-priced, too. Most people at Saucy Chick are there for takeout, but if you want to sit and eat, there’s a sunny front patio with plenty of seats." - brant cox, sylvio martins, andrew ryce
