Platt Village — Local services in Los Angeles

Horrible Pollo Loco at this location. I have ordered from here 5 times in the last 2 years, as recently as Tuesday, & I have either not gotten my food or been given the wrong food & bad rotten food! Rotten yellow & brown broccoli with the texture of wet cornstarch type packing popcorn, the skinniest chicken with no meat on the bones; I order beans & they give me rice, and the tiny container is only half anyway! It said right on the receipt, BEANS! Hard dried-out tortillas or tortillas so wet in the bag that they disintegrate! Delivery order contained no salsa & once I did not get my dinner at all! Guy dropped off some random order-things I don't even eat! Wasn't my name or credit card# on the bag either!

One block up at Vanowen and Platt, is a mailbox/notary/livescan establishment, an Amecis Pizza, and a Mexican restaurant, 711, barber, and R.O. water bulk refilling business.

Everything you need along that one strip of Platt between Victory...

This is sort of a strip mall except that it is a bit too large to fall into that category. This shopping center covers a full City block. It is anchored on one end by a very large and recently remodeled Pavilions grocery store and on the other end by a Rite Aid drug store. In between there are a lot of smaller store and boutique type businesses. It is an eclectic collection of businesses but some are pretty interesting and useful. There is also a Wells Fargo Bank and a El Pollo Loco restaurant on the edge of the parking lot near the sidewalk. Like I said, this is a large complex so there is plenty of...
