Inferno Grill 24416 S Crenshaw Blvd Torrance, CA 90505 (310) 325-7786 The Halal Inferno grill is located in a small, older little strip mall on the east side of Crenshaw Blvd just south of Lomita Blvd. The area is a mix of automotive, retail and industrial uses so the look can be deceiving – especially in comparison to the newer, more modern look to the Torrance Crossroads across the street.
