Antique stores, Japanese food, and margaritas. Yup, Old Torrance sounds like my kind of hood.
I don't know much about antiques, but for margaritas, there's always the folks at La Capilla who have been serving up drinks and Mexican food since seemingly forever, situated strategically on a very visible corner.
I was really feeling chicken that day so I went with a combo plate. Mine comes with a crunchy taco and a soft enchilada. The chicken is really good. Pale, unappetizing-appearing chunks, large and small, all of them with a just the right amount of basic seasoning, flavors steamed all the way through the meat.
It tastes great in tacos and tortillas alike, and the Chicken Burrito is just as good.
Okay, fine, so it's Mexican food for white people. But it still hits the spot for most people. The flavors aren't as deep or as strong as I'd like, and even the record beans are a bit dumbed-down and filled, but at least I still enjoy eating them. There's plenty of goopy, stringy cheese, more than enough rice and beans to give you the requisite amount of post Mexican food flatulence, and I don't see a lot of options in that area of you're looking for a drink. That said, it would be nice if all the servers and bussers didn't look at everyone with such scowling disdain...
