Eater LA’s editors, known for their culinary explorations across Los Angeles, have pinpointed standout dishes worthy of note from their recent dining adventures.
Among the culinary highlights is the Chicken Caesar wrap from Mini Kabob in Glendale, a creative dish that combines classic American flavors with Armenian influence.
Chef and co-owner Armen Martirosyan has crafted this limited-edition wrap featuring grilled Armenian chicken thighs, delicious falafel croutons, and a housemade dressing, all enveloped in a Mejorado flour tortilla.
After making a splash at last weekend’s Infatuation food festival, this wrap is offered on select days at Martirosyan’s Glendale eatery.
Instead of simply offering a light and healthful lunch, this wrap presents a hearty option with marinated chicken pieces and crispy falafel, while a spicy, runny Aleppo toum dressing adds a flavorful kick.
The wrap’s popularity raises the question: will it become a permanent menu item at either Mini Kabob location? To find out more about its availability, eager diners should check the restaurant’s Instagram for updates. 313 1/2 Vine Street, Glendale, CA 91204.
Another highlight from the week is the Tuna tostada from Queen’s Raw Bar and Grill in Eagle Rock.
This eatery has recently rebranded from its previous name, Queen Street, but retained many crowd-favorite dishes, including a variety of raw bar delights and inventive appetizers.
During a visit over the Fourth of July weekend, one dish shone brighter than the rest—the tomato-studded tuna tostada.
Made from chopped bluefin tuna mixed with peak-summer tomato salsa, grated ginger, and lime, this dish is refreshing and bursting with flavor, making it a perfect pairing with a chilled beverage on a sunny patio.
Located at 4701 York Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90042, Queen’s Raw Bar and Grill remains a cherished spot for seafood enthusiasts.
Next on the list is the Ancho potato breakfast burrito from Alfalfa in Larchmont.
Inspired by California’s love for breakfast burritos, this particular dish wraps fluffy eggs, sharp cheddar cheese, and ancho-seasoned Yukon gold potatoes in a soft tortilla.
Even without meat, the burrito proved to be satisfying without being overly heavy, making it an ideal morning meal.
Fans of breakfast burritos should expect a welcomed return trip to Alfalfa to explore the rest of their menu, including the sought-after salad wraps. 5570 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90038.
Lastly, dessert lovers will find joy in the S’mores cocoa taco at Agnes in Pasadena.
This whimsical dessert reimagines the beloved Klondike treat, Choco Taco, which was infamously discontinued in 2022, through a creative lens.
The team at Agnes constructs a waffle shell from graham crackers, perfectly shaped into a taco.
Inside, rich dark chocolate mousse contrasts beautifully with toasted marshmallow and hazelnut, creating a nostalgic yet modern treat.
Even for those who aren’t keen on desserts, this treat stands out as a must-try.
Diners are also encouraged to explore Agnes’s delightful drink offerings, including the refreshing Tang Town cocktail, made with mezcal, Aperol, passion fruit, orange juice, and bitters.
Agnes is situated at 40 W. Green Street, Pasadena, CA 91105.
With so many tempting dishes spotlighted this week, Eater LA continues to celebrate the diverse and delicious offerings of the city’s vibrant culinary scene.
