Even with its rock 'n' roll vibe, The Sparrow Tavern has a knack for fresh and healthy bar food. As Guy discovered on Triple D, The Sparrow Tavern has a righteous bacon and Brie burger. For the ultimate twist, try the super moist veggie burger -- the maple cayenne mayo is addictive.

Thousands of pounds of masa and up to 10,000 tortillas a day come from Tortilleria Nixtamal. Guy liked the sweet and savory taco al pastor with pineapple, topped with white onion, cilantro and lime. The hearty pozole Guy found comforting and soothing. Regulars enjoy the tamales and tortas as well.

Come hungry to Jimmy's Diner and you'll leave satisfied. Guy thought the skillet apple waffle was "killer" and liked the salty-sweet combination of the pancetta and maple syrup.
