STAFF PICK
Ivana Gomez del Campo
Tacos Baja Ensenada
Do not judge this restaurant by its cover, rather by the lines you're likely to find during the lunch rush. The famed fish tacos are made with flavorful, deep fried halibut filets that crumble in your mouth, wrapped in two perfectly grilled corn tortillas and topped with shredded cabbage, salsa and a rich cream sauce. For the adventurous types, there is a nice spread of condiments and salsas. The atmosphere is laid back and the prices so reasonable you'll forget you're in LA. By far the best fish tacos north of the border!

KPCC drops the ball AGAIN. Larry Mantle has a round up of area museums today and he doesn't report on the stunning turn of events at the Board of Referred Powers in Los Angeles. They handed the Autry National Center a defeat. The council members insisted that the merger promises with the Southwest Museum be held up and made binding. Council member Jose Huizar, whose district the museum is in, tells the Autry they must make good and Air Talk would rather discuss TMZ and Michael Jackson? Why would Larry and his crack staff ignore this important cultural issue?
