Lunch and dinner recommendations

Question

Any suggestions for lunch and dinner? I will be dining alone, do not want big portions and do not want fine dining.

Any good happy hours?

I already plan to have dinner at the Original Las Casuelas, lunch at The Sandwich Spot, and coffee at Koffi and La Jefe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
