There is a great little Jamaican Restaurant called the Kingston Cafe Located at 333 S. Fair Oaks Ave. (818- 405-8804) It's a little house on the West side of the street about 4 blocks south of Colorado Blvd. Had fantastic Jerk chicken there a few weeks ago. Ample portions and my plate was blessed with a few whole habs. There was a great Peruvian restaurant on Colorado called Merida's but they closed their doors a few weeks ago.. That's it for anything out of the ordinary. Fantastic Pizza at Tarrintinos on Green st. Great Greek at the Burger Continental on Lake. There is another Caribbean Restaurant that I haven't tried just north of Colorado on Los Robles (I think). This one looks very trendy compared to the first one. As far as Hot Sauce Shops you're out of luck. Hot Hot Hot used to have a great little store right in old town Pasadena but they have gone strictly to web sales. :-( Feel free to message me with anymore ?'s regarding Pasadena.
