My personal rule in groups is to take the raw cost of my food and add 25%.  It's the easiest amount to figure, and covers tax as well as a higher than 15% tip, regardless of which county you're in.  And then most of the time I'll round up to the nearest dollar.

 Actually, especially in LA county, 25% means just about right on a 15% tip now, with the latest sales tax increase.
