Don't get us started on Mexican in L.A...
I used to drool for Carrillo's, a carniceria in San Fernando. You would go in for a burrito and hear the women in the back clapping their hands together making the masa tortillas by hand. The flour tortillas were so fresh that they had an elasticity to them. They would pull as you bit into them. Epically sized carnitas burrito with fresh pico de gallo and guacamole. Salsas to die for.
There used to be a lot of great taquerias around York and Figueroa (Highland Park?). Great "Giddy Food" for after a night of partying. Some of the trucks have been parking in the same place for decades, and shell out the best lengua (tongue) tacos I've ever had. I would typically do eight or ten of those, and another five or six al pastor tacos. Total endorphin rush at 2:30AM.
Chee Burger Chee Burger: Northern Virginia and just off Captiva Island Florida.
Best most consistent BIG burger available.
Bongo, what's that Sushi place in the same shopping area as Javier's in Newport? I ate there last time I was there, and it was excellent.

Also, I work with a bunch of dudes from Japan and they brought me to this absolutely AWESOME Korean/Japanese BBQ place right off of PCH and I can't remember the name, and I was trying to send my boss there tomorrow.

Lupe's is good, but Goode Co Taqueria (same folks that own Goode Co BBQ and Goode Co Seafood) has the best TexMex in Houston. If I have one meal left, it would be Chicken Enchiladas with Queso Fresco from Goode Co Taqueria.
Sounds good; but I'll take the Agujas or the quail at Pappasitas if I'm stuck in Houston for my last meal...

Abe's Blue Fin is the sushi place next to Javier's.

Anjin is the best Korean BBQ in the OC.

I like Ikko for sushi.

The Crow Bar in Corona Del Mar is consistently great as well for gastropub faire.

My death-bed meal: beef enchiladas smothered in guacamole from Maria's in Glendora.
