My 2 Cents LA

"My Two Cents makes Southern classics that shine. Located in Mid-City, the menu is a refreshing take on soul food with beautiful presentations like the creamy black-eyed pea hummus, a fried green tomato po’boy, and a plantain-stuffed pork chop. For those leaning towards gluten-free, My 2 Cents has plenty of options, including macaroni and cheese." - Mona Holmes

"An Infatuation reader (Hi, Mallory!) let us know that this fantastic Southern spot has turned to tacos during COVID, opening a side hustle called Tacos Negros. And I’m glad she did - their turkey tacos (smoky, spicy, and served in a deep-fried shell) are fantastic. Don’t worry, you can still order their stupendous shrimp and grits, too." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery

"The vibes at My 2 Cents are joyous—there are bright-colored chairs and walls, an upbeat R&B playlist, and super-friendly service. It also helps that the Southern food here is pure comfort. There are many GF options to choose from, and standouts include the barbecue fried chicken breast, and mac and cheese made with brown rice penne that holds its own against any classic. Save room for dessert because there’s a GF peach cobbler that comes out warm and satisfying. " - jean trinh 1, garrett snyder

"On the menu are 'House OGs' like shrimp and grits and a crispy turkey meatloaf burger, 'small plates' of mac and cheese and soul spring rolls, and all-day specials including a club sandwich layered with catfish or chicken and a 10-ounce steak served with grits and greens." - Eater Staff

"Find Southern classics out of the Mid-City at My Two Cents where chef Alisa Reynolds prepares a gluten-free mac and cheese with brown rice penne and a blistered parmesan crust. If that’s not enough, the juicy gluten-free fried chicken will also do nicely. If in need of another option, try the shrimp and sweet corn grits, fried green tomatoes, and oxtail tacos." - Mona Holmes, Nicole Adlman
