los angeles favorites: food (cheaper edition)

Another easy category: food! For cheap eats, I love Tinga for slightly fancier Mexican and the El Chato truck for bargain basement $1 tacos. Another favorite is the tofu soup from So Kong Dong, and burgers from Golden State. As for farmer's markets, you really can't beat the selection at Hollywood, but due to the annoying factor of going there, I'm partial to my CSA.
