My favorite Mexican Restaurant in town. Decor torn from the 1960s, kitschy, delicious food, and a secret celeb hot spot! Quentin Tarantino's fave. Come with a request for the mariachi.

My favorite donuts on earth. Incredible flavors, steamed or baked instead of fried, but even more delicious than the standard donut.

Parks & Nature

A huge, beautiful park. Multiple playgrounds, walking trails, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, pool (in summer), outdoor fitness equipment/gym, grills and picnic areas. This park is the most stunning discovery I've found in my neighborhood. Just walk down to Beverly Blvd. from Gardner, cross Beverly, and take a right. This is also a scenic way to walk to The Grove (shopping center).
