Try the Pantry for breakfast in Downtown, but like at 2-3am

It's a unque crownd but the morning are also great. I also take it that you went to Manuels in East LA for their burritos. Then try the Stinking Rose on La Cienega, it's all garliclicky, if that's a word. Then try Casablanca in Venice, it seems Spanish and they'll make home made flour tortillas right in front of you.
Enoy your stay

Re: Or

I love octopus but preferred mine simmered and tender like they do at Taverna Tony in Malibu

Re: Thank you so much for your suggestions! Can't wait to feast -e-

I will second Jitlada as being both adventurous as well as spicy.

While not "adventurous" per se, I think Adana in Glendale/Burbank is "different" and very good.  It is Armenian.

Then there are a ton of Chinese restaurants in the SGV that out out a lot of different foods that may or may not be  adventurous for you.

Korean; Soot Bull Jeep

Very authentic. They use Charcoal which adds amazing flavor.
No web site. You can find it on Yelp.
Enjoy.
