The Valley of Dreams (or at least, good tacos)
First off, let's clear something up: the West Valley is not a separate state or a hidden continent. It's actually a part of Los Angeles. Gasp. I know, right? Who knew the City of Angels had such a sprawling personality?
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
The West Valley is essentially the western part of the San Fernando Valley. Think of it as the cooler, more laid-back cousin to the rest of the Valley. It's got its own vibe, its own charm, and, most importantly, its own traffic.

Where Exactly is This Place?
Okay, let's get down to brass tacks. The West Valley is bordered by the Santa Monica Mountains to the south, the Simi Hills to the west, and the Santa Susana Mountains to the north. It's basically a valley within a valley. Confused yet? Don't worry, most people are.
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
