Crocodile Cafe
140 So. Lake Ave
(Pasadena)
tel.: 626/449-9900
Location: Pasadena
Cuisine: American
Price Category: Inexpensive

Casual and colorful, this offshoot of Pasadena's groundbreaking Parkway Grill builds a menu around simple crowd-pleasers (pizza, pasta, burgers, salads) prepared with fresh ingredients and jazzed up with creative marinades, vinaigrettes, and salsas. It's a formula that works; this Lake Avenue branch is the original location, but siblings have sprung up throughout the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys -- even as far away as Santa Monica. Popular selections include the oakwood-grilled burger with curly french fries, the Croc's signature blue corn chicken tostada with warm black beans and fresh guacamole, wood-grilled gourmet pizzas in the California Pizza Kitchen style, excellent chili, zesty tortilla soup, and ooey-gooey desserts.

Other branches include Old Town Pasadena, 88 W. Colorado Blvd. (tel. 626/568-9310); Glendale, 626 N. Central Ave (tel. 818/241-1114); and Santa Monica, 101 Santa Monica Blvd. (tel. 310/394-4783)

Main courses $8-$18.Open: Daily 11am-10pm (till midnight Fri-Sat).Credit Cards: AE, MC, V.Free self-parking.
