ADVERTI8RMKNT ROUNDABOUT stand, 2980 Los Feliz since 1922. It's open for lunch, too. Island Hoppers' Paradise If you enjoy island hopping and Mexican food, then La Ramada is the spot for you. It's on Balboa Island, 300 Marine Ave. It's an informal spot, like most of the restaurants on Balboa.

We liked the Mamasita's Combination (taco, re fritos, Spanish rice, tamale, enchilada) $1.95 including dessert (sherbet or ice cream) and coffee. The seasoning is rather delicate in the context of Mexican food. Both luncheon and dinner are served on weekends noon 'til 10. Weekdays they are closed for "siesta time between 2:30 and 5 p.m. Post dinner suggestion: A window-shopping stroll down Marine Ave.

and an ice cream cone. Rich on Poor Boys Note to those searching for poor boy sandwiches. Try Pupi's Pastries, 8710 Sunset Blvd. There they call them "Rich Boy" sandwiches. They're made on home-baked bread.

The Italian Continued from 37th Page Early Come, Early Save Another new gimmick in the menu and price department. This time it's Encino's Wild Goose Restaurant, 15720 Ventura with the "Early Dinner Menu," served Sunday through Friday, from 5 to 6 p.m. You can have such choices as shrimp curry, turkey, chicken or chopped sirloin on a dinner deal which includes soup or salad, vegetables, potato, dessert and beverage for $3.25 during the above hour. Children's selections are $2. That's one way to get diners to eat early! A Little Bit Better A plum for pudding fanciers comes from Mrs.

Sandie O. Heaton. "We in the West Valley Medical Center building were fortunate to have the Eaters' Digest restaurant open in our building several months ago. Being a lover of rice pudding I immediately sampled theirs and was pleasantly surprised to find it was the best I had ever tasted and I have tasted a few in my time. Hamburger Hamlet and Marjan's Deli at the Brentmart, I must agree with your other readers, do have excellent pudding, but I still maintain Eaters' Digest's is just a little better than all others version comes with ham, salami, provolone, tomato, herb butter, lettuce and a special dressing that includes olive oil and orega-no in its ingredients.

There's a beef version with rare roast beef, swiss cheese, tomato, herb butter, lettuce and Russian dressing. Desserts there are in a class by themselves you won't be able to resist them, calorie-conscious or not. Thank You Note Out of state gourmets, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Knoll of Chicago, took time to drop Roundabout a thank you note worth sharing "While in Los Angeles on vacation a while back, I picked up a copy of The Times and found an article about an Italian restaurant called Andreoli's.

Since San Diego was on our agenda I clipped this article and made a special effort to go to Andreoli's. I had his delicious lasagna and my wife had cannelloni. On our return from Tijuana we had his flying saucer pizza. We can truly say it is the finest food we have ever eaten Tip on the Tarn We popped into the Tarn O'Shanter for quick bowl of soup the other night. It was 6:30, and there were no seats at the small counter so we were given a small table in one of the back dining rooms.

We had scotch broth (35 cents), car-mel custard (40 cents) and lots of coffee (good at TRIM'S CORNER By BF.TTT AIRLESS Would you believe a pause foe a short snort on the way out? The investigators came by to take down the evidence of our robbery today and made comment on just how far overboard we went to please the customers when they take time out for a drink after emptying out the cash register. We really didn't mind the general confusion that greeted us this morning: but, as Tony the Safari Room bartender says, "Boys, please clean up your mess, because no one likes cherry stems nor onions in their hi-balls Letters to this writer GET SMART BOY You can never expect a show to succeed if you don't give the star of the show top billing. My apology to that reader, and to the star, MARGARITA HUMPHREYS, in last week's release from TRUMAN'S PRODUCTIONS. For the diners of WESTWOOD TOWER CLUB who haven't had the surprise in this season's fun filled evening, try coming to the Club for dinner some evening and find yourself bounced up and down on one of the elevators. If you don't make the 21st floor on the first elevator, then try again cause we are still up here serving the best steaks around town.

Never too late drop in any evening for dinner or just for cocktails as the view has been grand. While we don't have the vast acreage to perform in such as Disneyland, we still come up with the unexpected at A 20 cents with refills).

Dinners at the Tam are priced from $2.95 for hamburger steak, with hashed browns or baked potato, vegetable to $4.50 for The Royal Scot (a New York steak).
