For a heartier option, try the elote agnolotti, plump corn-filled pasta bursting with flavor. The pork chop milanese, encrusted with crushed tortillas and served with a cilantro-laced arugula salad, is a must-try for meat lovers. No meal at Amiga

    Oh La La is what happens when French cuisine puts on its Sunday best and decides to party in Pasadena and without emptying your wallet. The steak frites? A masterpiece. The beef bourguignon pie? Like a hug from a French grandma who secretly runs a Michelin-star kitchen, but still in francs. Vegetarians get love too, with pesto rigatoni and mushroom stroganoff so good they might convert a carnivore. And don’t even get me started on the croissant bread pudding! It’s basically a love letter to butter. Pair it all with a carefully curated wine list that makes you feel like a sommelier without needing a second mortgage. Affordable, delicious, and effortlessly chic! Oh La La!!
