Fast Foodish:
Counter Burger
Bay Cities Deli

For Mexican I'd recommend El Cholo on 11th and Wilshire. If you're of drinking age, make sure you get a couple of Margaritas. They make good ones.

If price really isn't an issue for you, try Melisse, which is also on Wilshire. Its French and about as high quality as it gets, but it is also $$$$.

As several others have said, definitely grab a sandwich from Bay Cities deli wile you're there. The godmother with everything is my favorite.

A really good Italian place is Cafe Delfini, which is right on the border of SM and Pacific Palisades. I think its on West Channel. Small and quiet, butamazing food.
