West LA has lots of plenty of legit Mexican food, you shouldn't be driving for it. I suggest Tacos Por Favor next time you want some in Santa Monica.

There are some things you have to drive for, like great dim sum, but the great Middle Eastern and Japanese food more than makes up for it.

Two of my favorite restaurants in the world:

If you drive > 10 mins for Mexi, you're definitely doing it wrong. There are countless places at any price point and any style. Personally I prefer Gilbert's and Don Antonio's (homestyle; both on Pico). The best tacos I've ever had tho were from a street vendor outside of Liquid Kitty. Just outrageous.

Can't say I'm a fan of Tacos por Favor. Any taco truck is better and cheaper in my book. Monte Alban on the west side is a pretty great for Oaxacan. If you must eat tacos and can make it to midtown go to El Chato for excellent tacos.

this place is better than tpf, although tpf still has the best breakfast burritos.

monte alban is great but not for tacos/burritos.

Eh. Sometimes you need a specific burrito.
