Alysha del Valle at Lupe's Burritos

Hungry? You will be after watching Channel 7 KABC-TV reporter Alysha Del Valle’s two-part series on great budget dining on the Eastside, using the Gold Line as her chauffeur. The first part runs on Tuesday (Jan. 19) and the second a week later on Tuesday (Jan. 26) at about 6:40 a.m. and repeated at 11 a.m.

Del Valle, who grew up in the area, dropped in at more than a dozen eastside restaurants and came away with suggestions ranging from light and healthy desserts to rich and comforting burritos. She also met some interesting folks along the way. For yummy dining ideas, tune in.
