In Los Angeles County, this historic city serves everything from Afro-Californian plates to Belizean comfort classics.

THE CITY OF INGLEWOOD is booked and busy. In 2026, it's playing host to the FIFA World Cup; in 2027, it's the Super Bowl; and in 2028, it'll be a central hub for the Summer Olympics. As a native of south Los Angeles, I'll say it loud and proud: It's about time. This historic city is home to three marquee venues-the Kia Forum, SoFi Stadium, and the Intuit Dome, the new home of the Clippers-as well as excellent restaurants that are destinations in their own right. Here are just a few of the best places to eat, drink, and watch the game in Inglewood that deserve their time on the winner's podium.

CONI'SEAFOOD Just south of the entertainment district, Coni'Seafood draws crowds who clamor for its Nayarit-style Mexican seafood that's bold and packs a savory punch. Menu highlights include baby lobster paired with a spicy red house sauce, shrimp aguachile, flaky grilled snook, and marlin tacos layered with melted cheese. Portions are generous, making it a smart option for a crew with an appetite.(coniseafood.​com)
