Leonor's	12445 Moorpark Street Studio City 818-762-0660	Mexican. It's apparently quite a controversial place, and there are suspicions that some items may contain casien or egg whites.

I've been having a lot of people email me with new places lately..... and I figured I should add them to the list somewhere, even if I haven't personally been to them. So, here are the places that I cannot comment on, but that other people have reccomended to me. Whenever I make it to them, I'll add them to the big list... except for the raw foods places.... I'm just not the kind of gal who has found dining at the raw foods places to be my cup of tea! But they may be your cup of tea!
