Amazing authentic homestyle Japanese cooking. The atmosphere in here is incredible. In the summer, check out the outdoor garden seating. This is a restaurant as well as a dojo, and the students work in the restaurant. Note--they don't do substitutions on the menu, but there seems to be something for everyone.

It was made famous on South Park, but for us natives, Casa Bonita was a staple of childhood. The food is literally terrible, but the cost of the plate is your admission ticket, so get ready to order a mystery. I say go for the taco salad or the cheese enchiladas. Make sure to order some sugary margaritas. Sopapillas are free and unlimited. Prepare yourself for harrowing journey through Black Bart's Cave, a puppet show that will leave you questioning your existence, and a cliff-diving gorilla. Don't be afraid to explore--this was the largest restaurant in America at one point, and there's more than meets the eye.
