When I saw you went to olvera st My eyes bugged out my head! My mother used to get me out of school and we would go once a week in the 60's 70's!!! I remember those taquitos !!!never forgot them and now I'm 65! She was such a pro she would put the sauce on the side because they kept the crunch! Tried for years to make there sauce....never came close!!thank you for bringing me some of the happiest times on earth! Gotta go cry now! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

[@adriennespargo5435]

You made my day, I left California 6 years ago and I'm missing all those great locations in Los Angeles. It was 55 years ago when I first went to Cielito Lindo for the taquitos and I went to Phillips's just before leaving LA. I also can't find dim sum in the Detroit area to match my favorite place in Chinatown. Maybe someday I'll be back. Thank you Bill and Lisa for the smile.

[@bocat7482]

Yeah I first went to Cielto Lindo in 1965 age 6, love that place. We went there for years after Ram or USC games.

[@thomassanfrancisco5850]

Los Angeles suggestions are always welcome. Good choices.

[@Alan-sl7qz]

A magnificent tour of what to do and eat in downtown Los Angeles, thank you for sharing👏👏

[@melaneymattson3733]

I have gone there since the 50's but over the past 50 yrs I've lived in San Clemente, last city in Orange County at the southern tip of it, so don't get up there anymore. The beef dips are the best!! It was so nice to see the inside again, it looks just like I remember it. My mouth was drooling!! Thanks for the memories, Melaney from SoCal.

[@wendyscott6142]

I’ve never been to LA but damn your city looks awesome the food and culture so diverse . Having my usual cup coffee while watching your videos always love them

[@caling98]

I heard those angels sing. I miss living out there. Keep them coming Bill and Lisa, your food videos bring a lot of joy to many people.

[@Shaqtherickroll]

Please make your videos longer I love them

[@martywinter7399]

One of my best childhood memories was going to Philippe’s.

[@nancyd8031]

I love those taquitos! I didn’t know that Philippes had turkey! I have to try it out again, great vlog! 👍

[@MrsMoe72]

In one afternoon you hit all my old lunch spots, I miss working in DTLA. Now I want Philippes again!

[@DanVsWorld]

Love cielito lindo, and the market looks really cool to walk around too for souvenirs

[@antoniettelyons9507]

Soo happy Olvera st opened again. I grew up going there and with my mom before she passed..i was so sad when i heard they closed during the pandemic..Thanks for the footage. I grew up in LA but live in Vegas now..i miss LA and yes the smell of the taquitos. My friend would hop out of my car and buy a box of taquitos to go. Stay safe!

[@joycelam3298]

Thanks for sharing the video Bill and Lisa. Everytime i watch your video I feel I'm going vacation virtual. I too afraid to go vacation because of delta variant virus. Hope your guys are safe and well. Also have fun in vacation.

[@Lawomenshoops]

I went to CBS two weeks ago and everything was boarded up!! I thought they were closed. They are open now! Family Pastry is awesome!

[@rickauerbach2730]

You guys let us all travel even if we can’t ty!!!! Stay safe enjoy and have best times ever!!! gOD BLESS!!!

[@lngleg]

Excellent food adventure! Thank you for posting this.

[@scottmiller8396]

Did you see Buc-ee looking up at Bill while he eats

[@horseplop9]

2 of the best in the business.. Fun video today

[@cynthiamiller1643]

I really enjoyed watching this food tour. Please do more.

[@lesa8020]

Gosh, I've been to Olvera St a few times in the 90's and yet never really ventured to the end of the row of shops where Cielito Lindo is located. I typically grab something at the restaurant at the opposite end where folks normally enter after coming from the parking lot across the street. Wasn't till I saw Cielito on some foodie vid years ago and learned it was so popular. Can't for my next trip to the USA and make it to these same places. As always, enjoying your food reviews and travel adventures!

[@DanVsWorld]

Wow love aguas frescas they have so many flavors

[@billandlisa]

Hard to choose for sure!

[@momonakokeshi6325]

That fair looked like fun. Love the taquitos and dim sum. Roast pork. Funny, I just some yesterday.

[@donnamccormack]

Oh my goodness Lisa and Bill ...yes please and Thank you...back to my youth and beyond...will be 63 Sept 25th

[@billandlisa]

Happy upcoming Birthday, Donna!!

[@KarinLynnBates]

Watching this made me so happy! What a set of amazing places to eat! 🥰

[@kylerdad123]

Thank you for this tour of LA! It was great, and yummy, tour! The siu-yuk (roast pork) was the highlight - perfect with the crunch! The mochi-rice, with chicken, wrapped in lotus leaf looked great - hope you tried! Looking forward to the next tour! Best wishes and much 🧧!

[@NancysNibblesofLife]

Lisa, your earrings studs are fabulous. Love the tour, thanks guys!

[@neilyaremchuk6798]

The wet Lamb-wich on the French roll at Phillipe's is extraordinary.

[@msavp4481]

Awwww thanks for the shout out! I recall a family walk through of Olvera Street as a young child! Fun to see that again. That French dip tho!!

[@tanyaa7166]

Definitely hit up iconic LA eats. Everything looked so yummy. Love you too.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Tanya! Agreed, lots of great eating places in and around LA worth revisiting.

[@edgarisaguirre7313]

Nice video. LA's the place. Thanks again and stay safe.

[@AussieAngeS]

Absolutely love,your videos, please don’t stop sharing your experiences with us ❤️🌺

[@cswitzer95]

[@dextersmithbsee]

As Sting sanged, "Every little thing you do is magic!" That verse sums up your food tours appropriately.😄😄

[@creatorsist]

I love these restaurants, some of my favs too!

[@texadonkey34]

The buckee shirt is traveling all over👍😊. Nice market, and good eats.

[@StarringGinaAsHerself]

This made me miss my hometown! Can't wait to get back home for the Holidays!

[@chikadolo3133]

Will definitely try the roast pork! Looks so good. Thank you so much for sharing 😃

[@100185261]

@bill and Lisa....you MADE OUR DAY!!! thank you for shouting out Madeleine in this video! I didnt know if you would have time to shout her out but you guys did!!! You made us soooo happy and I'm so thankful for you taking time out of your day to do so. Keep on rocking!! we love your videos!

[@MJT2366]

I’m sooo glad I can say that I have been to one of your spots!! I did that tour in 2019, and it was so much history in those areas. There was an Indian Dance Company performing at the park across the street, an unforgettable experience😀😀👍🏽👍🏽!!

[@Maxeys_mommy]

Food looked great especially the crunchy taquitos but most of all loved the cute, fun t-shirts you both had on. 👍

[@kellitaylor7903]

Hi Bill and Lisa...I finished lunch 2hrs ago...now I'm hungry again 🌮🌮🍕🌭🥪

[@ladytitan27]

hahaha the angels!

[@soyunik7979]

Lol ❤ all the Buc ees shirts...few weeks ago for some reason I had a strong craving for the taquitos and had to take me a 2hr trip...any excuse to go L.A. 😂

[@MidnightCravings]

*I thought I heard the Angels sing when I saw that glorious roasted pig!* 😂😋

[@Shaqtherickroll]

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

[@russellflores5878]

It’s time to go back to Cielito Lindo. Amazing video guys 👍

[@shanibloome]

You guys should try the French restaurant on 7th and Grand in downtown LA. It’s really good (if it’s still there). I used to go often and loved the vibe.

[@KhalidHussain-zy8zn]

i was doing intermittent fasting and watched this video made me super hungry

[@Anna-ww9cl]

I'm just like you Lisa, I remember going to Olvera St. , Phillippes and Chinatown with my grandparents back in the day all in one day when I was little. We need to go back and re-live those memories!

[@billandlisa]

Everything still there! You should definitely go check it all out!

[@Claudi771]

Thanks fun to watch 😻

[@ceebee8042]

Love Aqua Fresca. Those taquitos look delicioso.

[@s.jensen1492]

I remember this food tour before and it looks definitely good again! 😋 Yumm

[@marthaholcomb8148]

My mouth is watering!

[@DCo923]

Yum guys that was great! Next time you go to Vegas you'll have to try that Tom Tom restaurant that does Pork Katsu, it looked soo good! Lucky you in LA

[@peacekelly1128]

Those French dips are absolutely delicious! My daughter took me to the art museum downtown last Thursday and we stopped there first for French dips. We got it double dipped and we asked for a side of the juice. We got greedy. Lol so so delicious. 😋 we went to Grand Central market and got a margarita pizza to take home that was amazing also.

[@gregshomelifestyle5617]

Thanks for the birthday shout out!

[@maritesmacasadia118]

Great video ! Thanks! I so want to do this walking food tour myself . Everything looks so good 😋

[@troothhoortz3630]

The problem with LA is there's too many good places to eat. I had a routine I'd get taquitos at Olvera st, walk to Grand Central mkt eat tacos there then walk to Little Tokyo for a tutti fruity cake from the bakery. Heaven. Sadly I moved to Texas and there's nothing close to any of that here.

[@beverlyherbert6952]

Another great video!!! Glad your enjoying L.A. but vegas is a lot more fun!!! ❤ French dip looked good!!!

[@Shonufff88]

Going to LA soon. Putting those taquitos on my list to try

[@MichaelJCervantes]

They are a must try!

[@ginNjus]

Awesome tour guys covering 3 epic foods.👍👍

[@gloriawinbush1590]

Yummy 🥰🤤😋🥰🤤😋!

[@sweeney0558]

GREAT VIDEO THANKS FOR THE TOUR

[@minnie9314]

I love and miss 😍 the taquitos!!! 😋🤤…I agree Phillips has it hits and misses…I wish it was more consistent. Last time I went it was really salty…I like the mustard sauce …I never been to CBS, I think ☺️ looks yummy…I go to Won Kok for dim sum, it’s cheap and good 👍🏽

[@Christine_1075]

yeah another great video hello 👋🏽 Bill & Lisa 😍

[@billandlisa]

Hi Christine!

[@josephshulman7387]

I've wanted to go here for years

[@SuperMomMac]

Awesome food tour! Those taquitos looked fantastic!! Have a great weekend!

[@CGM1114]

Omg did you do both in one day? That's alot of eats, you are both awesome 🙌

[@dannyyoung5299]

My favorite Phillipe’s combo is Lamb single dip with mustard, cole slaw & lemonade.

[@MrsMoe72]

Double dip lamb with a thick slice of bleu cheese 👍🏽

[@richardt1792]

Yes, the lamb is the winner. Most people order the beef and they will never know what they are missing. Turkey is boring, never tried the roast pork.

[@mansivaborvorn4436]

Love the Buc eee shirt, Bill!!!

[@susanvp4685]

Oh..that roast pork looked scrumptious. Thanks for sharing ❤️🇨🇦

[@susanabashit1485]

They look so good

[@karenglaicar5486]

Great food tour. Thanks guys. Cheers!!

[@pink5202]

I love hearing Jose Alfredo Jimenez’s El Rey song in the background 🙏🙌 Olvera st is a cool spot! The parking is a bit sketchy though lol

[@lethamurray3536]

Looks all so yummy!

[@julianramirez5890]

I’ve lived in L.A since 1990 and never had Philippe’s … am I missing out? Always enjoy your videos

[@MrsMoe72]

Oh you must go! Even their breakfast is great and you have to try the pie too! ❤️

[@joseph6948]

My mouth is watering watching you guys eat that roast pork...mmmm, delicious!

[@hi808cam]

loved 💙 the food tour 🌮🥖🍖 i'm getting so hungry 😋

[@pearlanderson1913]

🐞You have to try the turkey ‘double-dipped’ and put the potato salad inside the sandwich. Mmmmm!🐞

[@rainbowpandasays8851]

😋

[@spillthwinesfinds1244]

Cieloto Lindos looks yummy! I’m way the heck over in Fla so I do t know where I would find something as good.

[@yvonneacosta2539]

Great walking foodie tour. Definitely better be hungry before attempting. Looks awesome!

[@billandlisa]

Great tip!! We shared them all and still got full. lol

[@clifforddriver9434]

Thank you!

[@MrsMoe72]

If anyone recreates this foodie tour you can also start/end with a cold beer inside Union Station at the Imperial Western Beer Company. It’s a beautifully restored space inside the station.

[@elisaklock7938]

Another great video! When will you be back in Vegas? I just love your Vegas vids😉

[@lanicoya415]

I've been here!! It's so fun and good food!!

[@marilynjean939]

Relatives from my moms side are founders and owners of The Clielito Lindo

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Next time you go to Phillipe, make sure it is a Tuesday when they have the French Onion Soup. Get the Lamb Double Dipped with the soup. It is off the hook!

[@deliverancetwo]

Thank you thank you thank you thank you so much for the birthday shout out I greatly appreciate it. I love you both. Great video and have a fantastic weekend

[@rosaspanjol673]

Guys, I want some taquitos!… 👍good video 👍!

[@korenng5553]

😋 nice!

[@yvettewhitaker2653]

Hi Bill and Lis, 3 of my favorite places. I just retired from LA City Fire Department and worked at City Hall and frequented these places on a regular. If you like pickled beets, you must try them at Phillippes, they are so good. I am not a fan of Jewel of New Orleans, the beignets were terrible, the Poor boys are okay but nothing like being in New Orleans. Stay Blessed.

[@Christine_1075]

yummy 🤤

[@lawrenceakini9507]

Thank you for this KZbin .

[@paulinehalloran7204]

That mustard will blow your top off! LOL. My Hubbie loves it!

[@terryolson1962]

Aw, thank you for the shoutout! Love you guys!

[@crznpch1]

Loved this Vid since I from LA raised in Cerritos & North OC retired in Henderson NV

[@donnamccormack]

So funny you guys born and raised down there....even worked for the Daily Breeze...but Retired from Hughes Aircraft which is now Boeing...and Bill my ex-husband worked at LAX

[@billandlisa]

Love the South Bay!

[@winniepoohbear8916]

I have been craving a philly cheese steak or a French dip forever! The only place we have here is arby's or Jersey mikes!🥺😫! I want one!!
