There are worse places to have your car breakdown than Santa Clara's El Camino Real. The busy road is Silicon Valley's epicenter for Korean and Indian food. Elsewhere, the ethnically diverse city also offers great barbecue at Andy's, terrific Persian food at Chelokababi and some of the Bay Area's most innovative, sustainably sourced food at Parcel 104.
