Eating On A Budget While On Vacation: 3 LA Restaurants That Can Help You Save Money by Chris Harmen
Eating out while on vacation can take a big chunk out of your travelling budget. When you add eating out three times a day with a hotel and fun things to do, a vacation can become prohibitively expensive for many families. Instead of forgoing your holiday, consider finding less expensive places to eat. When you’re in Los Angeles, consider these LA restaurants to help you stick to your budget.
Look For Bakeries And Cafes Such As Porto’s
If you’re looking for an inexpensive breakfast or lunch, consider Porto’s Bakery and Café. Breakfasts start around $4 for Porto’s specialties, like a guacamole and cheese omelet sandwich, a ham and cheese omelet sandwich or a chorizo and egg omelet sandwich. Porto’s also has a number of beverages like coffee, tea, smoothies and juice to satisfy your breakfast cravings.
If lunch is what you’re looking for, consider what’s Porto’s is famous for — the Cubano sandwich. Other options include a feta sandwich, a ham and cheese croissant, a grilled chicken sandwich and a number of soups and salads. Entrees start around $4 and go up to just $7, which leaves plenty for Porto’s non-alcoholic mojito. Porto’s has three locations, in Burbank, Glendale and Downey.
Enjoy Waterfront Restaurants On A Budget Like Thai Garden
Waterfront restaurants can be expensive, but it’s possible to find some that are close to the water, and offer excellent prices at the same time. Thai Garden, in Marina Del Rey is just one of them. Thai Garden offers traditional Thai food such as Pad Woon Sen, Panang Curry, pineapple fried rice, chow mein and more. If you’re there for breakfast, Thai Garden offers a breakfast menu featuring American classics like pancakes, hash browns, sausage, omelets and breakfast sandwiches. Drinks include tea, smoothies, espresso beverages, sodas and more. Prices start around $5 for an entrée and seating is outside at nearby picnic tables, letting you enjoy the nearby waterfront. Restaurants in this area are casual and fun, allowing you to explore the area without taking a hit on your wallet.
Find Local Favorites Such As Pink’s
There are some LA restaurants that everyone from celebrities to tourists enjoys. Pink’s Hot Dogs is one of these LA restaurants. Pink’s is located near the corner of Melrose and La Brea, where it’s been for 62 years. Pink’s has a reputation with celebrities so visitors might just catch a glimpse of famous people like Jay Leno, Bill Cosby, Henry Winkler and more. Pink’s won’t break your budget, though, prices range from around $4 for a hot dog up to around $7 for a hamburger. Pink’s is known for its homemade chili and the recipe from Betty Pink is an industry secret.
LA restaurants don’t have to break your budget and eating cheaply doesn’t have to mean that you’re stuck with fast food eateries found all over the country. Look for local favorites and follow a good rule of thumb while traveling — if you find eateries that are surrounded by a crowd, you’re probably in for a treat.
