Every week Blake and readers just like him send me grainy, blurry, sometimes horribly-framed yet always interesting photos of life in Los Angeles as seen through the lenses of their trusted telephones. Every week, never fail. Join us now, won’t you, as we take a look at the latest offerings…From Blake’s Phone.
Believe it: This may be the longest week on record. Typically I cap myself but today I feel generous. Call it a change in the weather. Top billing is the famed burrito at El Tepeyac in Boyle Heights, which is so freaking big it’s delivered with a pie-serving utensil. Kudos to Ron who, we’re told, ate the whole thing:
El Tepeyac The Cake Server
After the jump: Submission instructions; more fun and games from tiny, incredibly shitty lenses housed in telephones citywide…
Homeless dude, gigantic sombrero, pedestrian harassment, downtown

Bacon-crumb-dusted turkey chili fries at Networks Cafe, MTV/Lionsgate building, Colorado, Santa Monica. Best deal in the house. This hangover cap will set you back a whopping $3.50.

El Tepeyac ..YUM! And their portions ARE gigornomeous…it’s the truth.
I want to see the pict. of Ron AFTER he ate the El Special’! Then I’ll believe he ate the WHOLE thing!
Next up, the LARGE order of CHili fries at “The HAT” on the corner of Riggin and Atlantic Blvd in Montery Park.
I dare ANYONE to give it a go, by them selves!
That dude is front of Clifton’s Cafeteria ALL. THE. TIME. I call him Gabby Hayes’ Grandfather. Cause I though he looked like Gabby Hayes’ Grandfather. In his current condition. No! Not the guy from The Butthole Surfers! That’s Gibby Haynes!!!! Sigh.
Anyway, dude throws on a giant sombrero, “sings” (growls like a bobcat trapped in a storm drain) and “dances” (stomps on the sidewalk like he’s killing giant roaches while in the throes of Montezuma’s Revenge), and somehow collects change for these “services.” He stands there for HOURS doing this! Always the same spot.
I gave him a donut once.
