I'm so glad I finally tried The Mustard Seed! This place is such a great find in Cerritos - and…read moreshare with other eateries. The inside is small with about handful of tables and "earthy " decor including a wooden trunk!! The Loco Moco was definitely a standout. The flavors, textures, and presentation were all on point. The only recommitted loco moco is ask the gravy on the side meal was overtly drench with the sauce. We also tried the "fish tacos" (vegan version, of course) and were really impressed and taco was crunchy, but my only complaint is it was messy eating after the 2nd bite -- the fillings seemed to be falling apart and out of the taco shell. The food is flavorful and honestly makes you forget you're eating vegan. The service was great---friendly staff and fast service. Whether you're vegan or just curious about trying plant-based comfort food, I will come back to Mustard Seed a try the burritos next time.

We tried this restaurant on an early Sat night around 6pm . We are trying all the vegan options we…read morecan in the area, and I had seen this one recommended. First, positive was that the customer service was amazing . It was only my husband and I and another table there while we weee dining in . The waitress was very kind, explained what they were out of that evening and was very attentive. Our food came out piece meal , but everything was a great temperature and quick to table. We tried the chips and guacamole. I really enjoyed the chips . I don't know if they are house made, but they had a great flavor. The guacamole was ok not the best but certainly not the worst. I had the tater tots as a side, and you get a lot! They were crunchy and perfect with lots to share and take home,l. My husband ordered a steak burrito I believe which he very much enjoyed . I had the crispy chicken wrap which I have to say I was not a fan of. The homemade vegan ranch tasted a little off to me and had a weird texture . The atmosphere was very nice and relaxing although I was not a fan of the "elevator and holding music " that was playing in the background. . Parking was a bit of a hassle because there are a lot of restaurants in the area , but it wasn't too bad . All in all I am not sure we would be back for the food, but the customer service was excellent.

I am the first to admit that we over did it, so we took the rest home for dinner the next day. We can't wait to finish off all this scrumptious vegan food. Service is fast and friendly. There is ample parking too. They also sell some nice looking deserts as well. All in all this was a yummy lunch and a tremendous value. Highly recommend!

First of all I want to know WHY it took me SO long to find this GEM....after ONE burrito ONE I…read morefinally feel like I found a vegan spot that's more up my alley in quality and quantity & looking forward to going BACK to try what else they have to offer!!! I ordered the jackfruit burrito no beans no rice add mushrooms and I was BEYOND satisfied as the burrito was HEFTY AF not to mention JUICY AF filled with the BEST flavor- and the cilantro and spicy aioli sauces to be honest with you though they were GOOD I didn't need it like I thought I would (being that there is no queso in the burrito) the way the jackfruit was cooked shiiiiiit PACKED FLAVOR! Customer service was also ON POINT, there was A LOT of traffic upon walking in therefore I KNEW there was a strong possibility I was about to get my monies worth and taste buds were gonna be happy right along with my tummy! People were seated and coming in and some coming out I LOVE THAT! also the woman who took my order TOOK MY ORDER and the woman who brought my food out to me... Delivered EXACTLY what I had ordered because SHE personally came to me as I awaitied my order to double check she made my burrito the way I wanted- I have ZERO complaints.. I'll be back FOR SURE especially if they keep making my jackfruit burritos they way they made it yesterday. The inside was beautifully decorated and was very welcoming... Seemed comfy especially the booth areas so thinking next time I'll have a seat to eat I recommend str8 up tacos HIGHLY, especially if you enjoy flavor to your food, where you can tell it was made with passion to satisfy the customers.... THIS IS THE SPOT

I need to make this update: Me and my husband ate here again today (8/30/26) This is his 4th visit…read morein the last 3 weeks; two of which I went with him. He said that it has declined with each visit... Nobody was at the counter to take our order when we walked in. We waited for a few minutes then said "hello" to see if anyone came out. They did not. We ended up ordering on the kiosk (which we don't like doing, we'd rather order with a human). The guy finally came out, took someone else's order after us and his food came out within a couple of minutes. No joke. Meanwhile, it took our food 12 minutes; which isn't terribly long but we were already turned off at this point... I asked for more water (they have a self serve water jug), the guy didn't fill it. I asked for water again when our food came out (different guy). Then several minutes later the original guy said he filled the water. Ate our food. My bean and cheese burrito was meh. Kind of bland with not much cheese, and the cheese it did have was all clumped in one spot, not spread out evenly. My husband got his usual three tacos. He was very unhappy with them today. He upgraded to the homemade tortillas. They feel apart. He said it reminded him of tamale masa, they just crumbled apart. CONSISTENCY matters. We left unsatisfied and likely will not return. It quickly went from "wow this place is amazing, we found a new awesome taco spot" to "well, that was short lived". I'd also like to mention his 3rd visit with our daughter. They ordered. Waited 25 minutes. Still no food. He asked about it and they never put the ticket in to be made. UGH.

Authentic, made-to-order Mexican food in a small spot in Lakewood. There isn't a ton of seating and…read morethere's no AC, but takeout is always an option if that's not your jam. We've tried the quesobirria tacos, birria street tacos, and breakfast burrito, and everything has been delicious. There can sometimes be a wait for your food, but the flavors are absolutely worth it. My toddler loves the soft birria taco--the beef is so tender and juicy that she can easily enjoy it. The chips have the perfect crunch, and the seasonal passionfruit agua fresca is sweet and delicious. On top of the great food, the owner is a genuinely proud father and such a kind person from all of our interactions with him. I really love this spot and hope more people give it a chance!

From the moment you walk in, you feel the warm, family-friendly atmosphere. The owner, Guzman, is super friendly and speaks both English and Spanish, and his daughter Alison was running the register like a total pro--she's all business in the best way! Now, let's talk about the food: The Secret Salsa: Absolutely hit the spot! Savory with just the right amount of kick. Chilaquiles: My dad ordered these and was blown away. He got them with two sauces, and he particularly loved the red sauce, which was al estilo Oaxaca mole. They cooked his eggs exactly to order and accommodated his request for extra raw onions alongside all the delicious classic toppings (sour cream and queso fresco). Drinks: They have a great variety of soft drinks, including Diet Coke and Coke Zero. (If you're looking for coffee, definitely stop by right when they open, as they might be replenishing inventory later in the day!) A quick heads-up for first-timers: The dining area can run a bit warm and there are no public restrooms at this location, so plan accordingly. However, that wouldn't deter us for a second--the chips, salsa, and overall quality are way too good to pass up. It was great seeing local regulars picking up to-go orders while we were there. Working just down the road on Studebaker, I know I am going to be a frequent regular from now on. Classy place, amazing flavor, and wonderful people--we will definitely be back as often as we can!

So sad this place is gone. Now it's some tacky, low energy restaurant. Really sad!!!…read more The new place had dull vibes walking in, felt like a cafeteria with mismatched plastic water bottles and pre-packaged lassi...it felt like a knock off Yantra...clearly riding off the prestige on Google and Yelp! Most importantly the menu and people trying to wait on us had next to nil for people skills. Even after pointing out what I wanted they still selected the wrong things... Wife and I spent about a year visiting artesia to get wedding garments for us and our respective wedding parties...and this was always our first stop! Shout out to the Yantra owner, Raj, and the hostess who always worked with Raj! Again, so sad to see it go...after becoming regulars...

Came here for my husbands birthday dinner. I have been here at one other time for a friend's party…read more We had about 16 people with us. It was extremely affordable, considering how many people we had. Including all of the food,.. two whole chickens as well as two pizzas along with salads and breadsticks and brisket as well as ribs and some other stuff and drinks we paid under $400 for everyone. When I tell you by the time we got to the outside patio to sit down the gentleman at the front was all ready bringing out the appetizers. He was so kind and friendly. I wish I could remember his name... Really nice guy. We had several kids there and no one complained about the noise or kids running around a little bit outside. The restaurant is clean and welcoming with a warm ambience from beautiful lights hanging everywhere. Definitely coming back!!

Revisit? Definitely. Great for weekend breakfast…read more Sunrise Cafe never disappoints. It's just what a casual diner should be: delicious, generous with the portions, and efficient. I usually order the Popeye Omelet with home fries and toast. Everything is seasoned well and the ingredients taste fresh. Other things I've tried include the Chilaquiles, French Dip, Kids Scrambled Egg Breakfast with French Toast, and Posole. Everything is classic and reliably good. You'll think, wow, I'll probably need a box to-go, but somehow you'll eat it all in one sitting! Sometimes you have to write your name down at the check-in stand out front in order to get a table. But I've never had to wait too long. The servers really pay attention to anything you might need without rushing you or asking lots of questions. So I think that's how they keep the wait time short. The vibes here are just 10/10 for a family breakfast. Our toddler likes watching the model train that circles the upper windows of the restaurant. It's busy so there's lots of pleasant background noise. You can watch the traffic go by on Lakewood Blvd. Prices aren't too steep. I've ordered takeout and delivery from here as well and never had any complaints. Parking can be hard to find in the lot right next to the restaurant but can usually be found right away in the back lot. Overall, just a nice neighborhood spot to eat.
