Service is terrible here.  Everyone who works here is extremely rude and the redheaded server or whatever she was is a fucking bitch. I'm appaulled that someone with that kind of attitude is working at a resturant she should get a job working at the DMV. Being a bitch is encouraged there.

RIP ANITA'S.

I will miss your chili verde burrito, taquitos, menudo, and bean and cheese burrito - the platter.

But what I'll miss most of all are your chips and salsa.  You were my comfort food and helped me overcome many colds.  

Goodbye old friend.  You will be missed.  ;(

First off lemmie just say:  GIVE THIS ONE PARTICULAR SERVER A RAISE!  Such service, super friendly and recommended some very tasty dishes!  I hardly ever remember a server who went beyond their way to make us happy.  

Aside from the amazing service, let me tell you about the amazing food.  You only got eat here if you havent ate all day cuz the portions are HUGE.  BEWARE!  Must share everything.  Here is what I recommend:

*Deep Dish Chicago Pizza (I've preferred to build my own pizza, cuz im picky)  

*Gnocchi (dont forget to add the bacon!)

*Manchego Salad (im a sucker for carmelized walnuts!)

*Bonnie Brae Bistro Pizza (thin crust and the waiting time is less than the deep dish pizzas)

This is one of my favorite places to eat in Echo Park, HANDS DOWN!

Came here on a whim with my secret lover.

It was coo.

I got the CHILI CHEESE OMLETTE buuuut regretted it later (know what i mean?)

They play jazz music on the speakers.  That's coo too.  Playin up that vintage vibe to go along with da old ass area.

oh and props to the 15% off check in coupon.  my cheap ass needed that.

i came here right before the Pee Wee Herman Show because I had the impression that this place had BOMB ASS PASTA n shit.  WRONG!

I was given a meesly little menu that ONLY had PIZZA!  Bitch, I dont want just pizza....I want some variety!  Whatever.  I sucked it up and ordered a damn pizza with the works.  Mushrooms, onions, spinach, pepperoni and cheese's I cant even pronounce.

In the end, the pizza was magnificent....I ate the whole thing!  DAYyyUUUuuuuMMmm!  

AND, I ordered dessert of various cookies and cupcakes.  BOMB!

Loved this place.....but how come most of these yelpers on here had filet mignons and pastas?  THATS UNFAIR!  I think I got jipped.  Next time, Imma call before I make my presence to make sure they have OTHER foods besides damn pizzas.

I would love to explain in great detail my problems in the past with Walgreens efficient photo center......buuuut I'd rather say, "HOMEGIRL, TRUST ME DAT SHIT AINT WORTH IT!"

i aint from around here (CALIFORNIA REPREZNT!) and one of the things i wanted to experience in the MKE was their burgers.  AND NOT JUST ANY BURGER.....i wanted A BOMB ASS BURGER.

All the locals here told me to go here and eat their Sobelman Burger.  ok. i will.  no questions asked i will eat the motherfucker.

lemmie tell you....it was ONE of da best burgers ive ever had in my life.  They put bits of jalapeno in it!  WHAT THE FUCK? They dont pull dat shit in California!?!?!? and we have all the mexicans! me included!  

THANK YOU SOBELMANS YOU GOT BOMB BURGERS N FRIES!

oh and BEWARE:  theyre HUGE.....

only poor people like dis shit.

you dont go for quality....but rather QUANTITY.  

keepin it real.

FINALLY!

A record store that is close to home and Anaheim bred!  (RIP BIONIC RECORDS OF FULLERTON)

Unfortunately, I missed the grand opening...but no worries.  I got up bright and early to check this place out today.

AND it exceeded all my expections!  The store is done up well with kitchy shit and vintage record players displayed everywhere.  VERY CUTE!

The owners Sean (of Thee Makeout Party - check them out if you haven't cuz they're awesome) and Brian (of the defunct Third Eye Records store) are SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE!  LIKE REALLY!  They could possibly win lots of $$$$ on Musical Jeopardy if they wanted to.

Any weird obscure rare bands/records/genres that you've heard or haven't heard THEY KNOW.  But the cool thing is that they're NOT pretentious about it.  super cool, super helpful, super awesome!

HOWEVER, my only complaint is that there is no section for jazz lovers.  :(  But no worries, the store is still hours new and Brian said he'll bring out some jazz records.  expect mah ass there soon when they do!  :)

ALSO, they have a huge selection of $1.00 to $5.00 records.  DEALS!

ON A FINAL NOTE, not only is Burger Records an actual record store, but it's also its OWN LABEL!?!?!?!?   Some 30+ bands (some local!) are on the Burger label.  I highly suggest checking out the Burger bands in the store!

first lemmie just say, "WHOA!" and "WOW!"

this is a goth chola's wet dream.  

I left this place feeling amazed, sad, impressed, disgruntled, uncomfortable, dumbfounded, educated, miserable, paranoid, and most of all, satisfied.  I can now die a happy? goth.

I have visited many cemeteries in my day but none will ever give me the satisfaction of a good history lesson.  BELIEVE IT OR NOT!

Before I even ventured here, I checked other yelper reviews and was surprised that so many of them gave this place underrated stars.  I do admit, though, it's not for just anybody.  

I CAME HERE KNOWING WHAT I WAS IN FOR.  Even the friendly owner warned us.

What a morbid and intense collection they had here!  WHOA!  Half the time I wondered if this was even legal to own some of the stuff.

But anyway, I'll tell you all about the GOOD (or bad, depending on how you look at it) STUFF:

OLD COFFINS.  maybe from the late 19th century.
EMBALMING UTENSILS from early 20th century.
A WALL DEDICATED TO THE MARKETING PLOYS OF THE OLD FUNERAL HOMES  such as matchbooks and fans.

A TAXIDERMY ROOM filled with animals and "weird creatures"
A HALLWAY FILLED WITH PICTURES OF AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS FROM THE 1920's -60's. - very grotesque!

A ROOM DEDICATED TO SUICIDES - Rozz Wiliiams cabinet door he hung himself with.  oh, and DONT DRINK THE KOOL-AID! AHAHA!

A ROOM FILLED WITH MURDEROUS/SUICIDAL CULTS - Heaven's Gate and The Manson Family included.  crazy artifacts! crime scene and autopsy photos of the TATE MURDERS.

AUTOPSY PHOTOS OF THE BLACK DAHLIA NEVER BEFORE SEEN - not the photos from Hollywood Babylon II either!  these are waaay more in detail.

CANNIBAL ROOM - yes, it includes Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein.

and last but certainly not least, THE SERIAL KILLER ROOM.  This is astounding.  You can read REAL letters and see REAL art work from the likes of Richard Ramirez and John Wayne Gacy.  There's an actual portrait that Gacy painted himself dressed up as a clown (his alter ego).

*********I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE INTENT OF THIS MUSEUM IS NOT TO SHOCK YOU FOR THE CHEAP SAKE OF ENTERTAINMENT, BUT TO EDUCATE YOU TO SOME DEGREE.*********************  They certainly don't teach you this stuff in school.  Death and mortality is still a very taboo and sensitive subject in our society.

I paid my $15 and i got my money's worth.  The end.
