We rejoiced when Monell's openmd its take-out store on Trousdale Drive. Our first expericne was promising if not quite up to Monell's high standard. The latest trip was a big letdown. The meatloaf was covered in chili sauce (and most unappetizing) and the texture was mushy. The sides were also below standard: pinto beans were overcooked and gummy, the greens were vinegary, and corn pudding was too sweet.
Pros: cheap, good service, convenient
Cons: mediocre food
