Let’s face it. The L.A. dining scene can be pretty overwhelming! With so many unique cuisine options, it’s nearly impossible to sample all the great food our city has to offer. And when you’re a true foodie like me, jotting down restaurants to try during the holidays or simply when your pockets allow just seems to happen way too often.

But thanks to dineL.A., 300 restaurants throughout L.A. county are offering exclusive dishes from their prix fixe lunch and dinner menus-designed to help you expand your palate without breaking the bank! Of course, I’m most interested in helping you satisfy those taste buds without driving your car, so here are my picks for the most transit-accessible venues participating in dineL.A. week, now through Jan 31!
