| - I know you're in love with Ella Em and even have an affair with M&M Soul Food. Pretty please, give this place a try. My wife and I just had lunch there. It was THE BEST soul food we've ever had. Real - none of this wannabe healthy, watered down, palatable to the masses, reinterpreted, deconstructed, nouveau stuff. Imagine pulling up to a little food stand in the South where a small family cook up great food on a daily basis and sell it for weary travelers. This is exactly that type of place. Greens were smoked, beans had a beautiful complex dark brown sugar molasses flavor, brisket was fatty (just the way I like it) and tender, macaroni salad was just like my wife remembers it growing up in Lynwood, California (next to Compton) made with the short small pasta tubes that look like short plumbing pipes. Really, really good food. Cash only. The peach cobbler is also insanely good. It's only $2 or you can get a large peach cobbler for $4. Corn bread muffin was flaky and moist but not overtly so. Please support our small, local, mom & pop businesses. This place is perfect for takeout if you live or work in the area. Notes: No Credit Cards, No Debit Cards, No Diet Soda - it's just not that kind of place. Step into a small takeout window counter and be rewarded once you sit down to feast. Lots of food for the price. We paid $25 total including tip for two meals which is easily more like four meals. In terms of decor, it's very basic and I wish some kind artist would step up and offer to refresh/repaint their mural on the side of their building.
