Southern California is a melting pot. I've lived here my whole life and have tried numerous amounts of different types of foods. Some are good, some are weird, and some are bad but they are all worth trying. Heres a list of great food and food places in southern California.

1. In-n-Out

Basic yes, but also delicious. In-n-Out might be the best burger I've ever had and it's cheap.

2. Korean BBQ

The all you can eat KBBQ is so worth the time it takes to cook. Some of the restaurants can be a little bit sketchy but Bulgogi is a must try.

3. Dim Sum

The best dim sum restaurants are the ones where they walk around with carts of food and you decide what you want as they surround you with food. It may add up in the end depending on where you go but dim sum leaves you full and happy.

4. Banzai Bowls

Most people know banzai bowls as acai bowl but I think that is too hard to say. Banzai bowl is a cute eatery located in huntington beach with some of the best acai bowls.

5. The Taco Guy

The man that comes to your graduation parties, your pool parties, and any celebration that serves fresh made tacos on a cart is a hero. His tacos are always authentic and delicious. It doesn't matter which taco guy you hire, I have never had a bad taco from them.

6. Boba

For everyone that calls it something else you are wrong, it is boba. You can find some of the best boba in southern California.

7. Sushi

I've had some of the best sushi in the world and thats because it is always fresh and always a higher grade of fish.

8. Ceviche

My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The assorted fish and various veggies combine for a fantastic flavoring.

9. Carne Asada Fries

Whether it's from a guy selling food from a cart on the street or chronic tacos carne asada fries can't be bad. I mean its steak and fries with a whole lot of good stuff on top.

10. Avocados

You don't even need to eat them with anything else but they are the best in southern California.

11. Afters

You always have to end with dessert so Afters is a great place to choose. The yummy warm donut with ice cream in the middle is well worth the wait of the line out the door.
