The best take-away restaurants California

Probably the best pastrami on rye in Southern California can be found here. Langer's is so popular with Angelenos that the intersection of 7th Street and Alvarado Street is nicknamed Langer's Square; a godsend that a subway stop is right in front of the restaurant, making it accessible by public transport. A fabulous mix of customers - young and old, rich and poor - adds to the friendly atmosphere.

A good place to eat burgers. It is said that the owner of this chain, Adam Fleischman, tasted all thehamburgers in L.A. to design the best ones for his restaurant. The burger breads come from a Portuguese bakery and the fillings are varied, with parmesan cheese, roasted onion or shiitake mushrooms. The Umami burger is probably the most successful on the menu.

The house has been in existence since 1971, and the queue on Saturday afternoons is the longest in the neighborhood! The pizzas here vary according to the season and the chef's inspiration. The pizzas are, of course, delicious and generous. The choice of ingredients seems endless, but there's plenty of time to choose! And on some evenings, there's live music. Cheese Board is also a bakery and a cheese shop a few steps away (at 1504), both equally renowned and open at different times.

Founded in 1911, Liguria Bakery is known throughout San Francisco. In this bakery, time has stood still for the neighborhood's Italian mammas , who have been chatting here for nearly a century. It sells focaccia, baked in the large brick oven in the back room. With mushrooms, bacon or simply tomato, they are considered the best in town. You can also opt for a good slice of pizza. Ideal for a quick, inexpensive lunchtime focaccia on a Washington Square bench.

You can find at this small and unpretentious address Mediterranean dishes at moderate prices, between kebabs, falafels, burgers and some vegetarian plates. What seems to be commonplace in our country is of great interest in the Napa Valley where everything is so expensive. Moreover, they serve here the best smoothies of the city and you can sit at a very pleasant terrace to cool off in the Californian heat. So you can have a nice and relaxed stopover between two wine tastings with your little finger in the air.

This small supermarket located east of downtown offers sandwiches, salads and prepared meals to take away. All the products offered here are fresh, carefully selected and generally meet organic specifications. You can also do your general grocery shopping here and even have a coffee on the sunny terrace on the second floor. It is possible to order online, to have the products delivered and to become a member of the cooperative.

This Italian delicatessen had the good idea of offering sandwiches made from the authentic products it is overflowing with. The charcuterie, hanging from the ceiling, catches the eye, while the cheeses rest quietly in the beautiful refrigerated display case. You can choose your bread, add Italian meats, marinated vegetables, and of course some cheeses, straight fromIl Bel Paese. A treat! Not to be missed if you want to feel the American-Italian atmosphere of the neighborhood, so typical of Little Italy.

This small stand in the Ferry Building, run by a Napa Valley-born family business, offers only empanadas from Buenos Aires. It's hard to resist the traditional recipe for these filled puff pastries from Argentina. We loved the carne made with beef, onions and green olives, as well as the champiñones with mushrooms sautéed with shallots and crème fraîche. Enjoy them sitting on a bench in the sun, hair blowing in the wind, watching the container ships sail by in San Francisco Bay.

This small chain, with seven other locations, mainly serves tacos, which can be enjoyed at any time of day, from breakfast through lunch to early evening. On the menu: some fifteen recipes, including the Guadalupe, filled with eggs, chorizo and cheddar, or the Picadillo, made with ground beef, potatoes, carrots, coleslaw and pickled jalapeño pepper. Try the side dishes, too, such as the classic black beans.

This small chain on the California coast, from Huntington Beach to Oceanside to Newport Beach, is especially popular with locals.

In short, the menu is simple and effective, just like the food cooked here. As for fries, there are a few alternatives to the "plain" ones: cheese fries and "Chili" fries.

Opened in 1981, this little establishment is unmistakable, with its blue facade covered in colorful drawings, which looks more like a large mural. Above all, it's impossible to miss the sign that reads: "Best chilaquiles in town". In addition to this typical Mexican dish prepared with tortillas and green or red sauce, the tacos, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, omelettes and other specialties of the house can be enjoyed on the covered terrace, sheltered from the sun, just a stone's throw from the parking lot. An authentic address.

Completely oversized pizza slices for a very sweet price. Perfect for small purses.

After opening its doors in 1939, Pink's quickly became a staple among Hollywood stars. Today, it's made it its signature: in addition to displaying numerous photos of celebrities posing with hot dogs in hand, the establishment has named some of its recipes after them. One example is Betty White's Naked Dog: "just the beef in the bun, absolutely no toppings". The line is often long, the place touristy; but the hot dogs are memorable.

Usually, when an establishment claims to be the best, it's hard not to doubt it. Nevertheless, with Best Fish Taco In Ensenada, the promise is kept. While the menu may seem simple, the preparations require a special know-how, as well as excellent products. There are three types of taco to choose from: fish, shrimp and potato. Eight optional sauces are available, including a spicy avocado sauce and homemade "Sessy's".

When Timothy Cam opened Dirt Dog, he had in mind one of his childhood memories: the day he and his brother tasted hot dogs prepared on the street, on a supermarket cart. The scene takes place in the 1990s. The two men are children at the time: their mother reprimands them, telling them to stop eating dirt - dirt - since cars drive right by the sausages. Nevertheless, Timothy Cam had the best culinary experience of his life: it led him to set up his own hot dog restaurant in 2014. Worth a try!

Without a doubt one of the best healthy addresses in HB, it offers a dozen appetizing salads, as well as some excellent hearty bowls with varied ingredients. We also come here for its wide variety of smoothies, from the lighter ones like the kale, spinach, pineapple and banana smoothies, to the gourmet ones like the peanut or almond butter smoothies. In addition, there are many vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. The restaurant is quite noisy, so we recommend you take out for lunch on the beach.

If you're wandering around the Haight's bars, you're going to have to stop at some point and swallow something to soak up all that beer. That's where Escape from New York comes in, an institution that dates back to 1986. At the time, the Full Moon Saloon, a nearby concert hall, had a window overlooking Escape that allowed patrons to order pizza directly! The Full Moon has closed, but Escape still has a great collection of concert posters.

Established in 2014 with the sole aim of supplying bread and acting as a cellar for restaurants Gjelina and GTA, Gjusta has quickly converted into an excellent deli .

In short, the whole menu is as good as it is appetizing. All of this can be enjoyed to take away or at the small wooden tables set up outside.
