Armando De La Torre Jr. knows a thing or two about good food. But when heās not behind the counter at his own spots, heās just another local regular in the SGV.
Even after years in the industry, there are some flavors you just donāt outgrow. For Armando, thatās Golden Deli. Itās the kind of place thatās a constant, where the routine is just as important as the meal itself. He doesnāt come here to be a "restaurateur.ā He comes here because heās a fan.
His go-to? Number 21A every single time. And heās even got the logistics down. If you want the wontons, you head to Temple City. If youāre in San Gabriel, you stick to the classics. Itās those small details that make a local spot feel like home.
At the end of the day, Armando is a supporter of the craft first. He isnāt trying to reinvent the wheel. Heās just showing up for the SGV staples that have been doing it right for years. Because out here, thereās always something great to eat if you know where to look.
Thatās the beauty of the SGV food scene.
Whatās your go-to order at Golden Deli? Are you a number 21A regular too? š
