Mama’s. On Main St. in Port Washington. It’s a korean joint, in the same space a dingy old greek luncheonette used to be. Most of the greek pictures are still on the walls. The food is fresh, spicy & delicious... Mama...

One more place – Maya Next Door in SF. It’s not quite a grimey hole in the wall, but they set up taqueria service for lunch during the weekdays at this upscale Mexican restaurant. I was pretty impressed with their...

Still looking for great pizza in OC and I’ve tried quite a few too. Everybody have their own tastes and I like the family owned "hole in the wall" pizza joints. Here are a few of my favorites: Mama Cozza’s, Anaheim...

What are the best, non-chain, hole-in-the-wall take out joints across Toronto? I mean places with no (or few) tables that do the bulk of their business in takeout. I like... -the churrasco chicken place on the south side of College...
