Don Cuco does not have the best Mexican food in LA. But this nearly 50-year-old Burbank spot is still a Valley staple and ground zero for studio execs getting trashed after work. Everything from their caribbean chicken salad to their mexican pizza is worth ordering, but let’s be honest - it’s all about those margaritas.

HealthyCA isn’t much more than a counter and some chairs, but it’s one of the best salad spots in the Valley.
