The SLT asked five random San Leandrans what their favorite restaurant in San Leandro was.  The answers? Wendy&#8217;s, McDonald&#8217;s, some unnamed taqueria on East 14th, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/pericos.html\">Los Pericos<\/a> (which I like) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/rest\/tsuru.html\">Tsuru Sushi<\/a> (which I don&#8217;t think much of).

It had character, it was locally owned, we liked it.  Alas, it burned down to the ground a few years ago and the owners did not have insurance. We kept the hope that they&#8217;d be able to get the money somehow and rebuild, but alas, it didn&#8217;t happen.<br \/>\nWhat is even more pathetic is that we&#8217;ll at least try Papa John&#8217;s pizza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone who lives in San Leandro and has the lowest appreciation for good food, cannot but decry the state of our local restaurants.
