    Pastrami chili cheese fries, Chili Cheese Burger, breakfast burrito
    David L.

    Really wanted to like this place but ended up disappointed. While the chili cheeseburger was decent and similar to Tommy's, the breakfast burrito was bland and the pastrami chili fries were just awful. The pastrami was mushy, tasteless with no texture. I took a few more bites hoping that it would get better but it just kept letting me down. It's a shame as the kitchen looks bustling and the chefs appear to work hard. 2.5 stars review. Will not be back.

    If you're on the Westside of LA and have a hankering for a Tommy's chili cheese burger, this will do. It's as close to Tommy's without the extra 'm'. The chili is pretty close to the real deal and they slop it on. I got the chili fries loaded with onions and cilantro. Ask for the banana peppers (pepperoncinis)....so good together. Pro tip: wear shirts you don't mind getting stained. And loose pants. It's hard to stop eating all that good stuff.

    This place is great for chili cheese burgers and fries. The restaurant is spotless every time I come here. The staff are helpful and friendly. The prices are reasonable because most places chili cheese pastrami fires are like 20 bucks they start at 12.99 here. I definitely recommend this spot it's open late also. I have been coming to this location for over 15 years.

    Big Tommy's made itself available to us and we stopped to have a chili cheese burger. And onion rings. Well we really liked the onion rings Crispy and sweet onion goodness. If you like onion rings then these are a must. Made there not bought. The chilli cheese burger was good char broiled which is rare.. so good points maybe could have used a little more chilli... the mustard is very tart but the balance is just a little off. It's was a messy cheesy gooey smashed charbroiled burger. It hit the spot. The people working there are lively and clearly happy to be there and are proud of their product. Typical but clean burger joint. The orange bang topped it off. Just about a perfect Los Angeles burger experience!!

    Was in the area so you know theres no passing by without stopping for Big Tommy's on an empty stomach. Ordered my usual. Salmon Burger and Onion Rings. This time I even threw in a couple Chicken Taco's to make it fair. The service was helpful and efficient that came with a nice smile. The ambiance is still one of, Come to eat. Leave satisfied. Another Home Run Big Tommy's. See you soon.

    What I Ordered: -Pastrami Breakfast Burrito $12.29 + Pico de Gallo $1.59 Total $13.88 I really want to like Big Tomy's! Their early hours are convenient for my schedule. This is my second attempt at their breakfast burrito. I chose the Pastrami Breakfast Burrito with Pico de Gallo, as I read a positive review. The Pastrami Breakfast Burrito with Pico de Gallo is the best I've had here so far. However, it's overly focused on potatoes and needs more eggs. They seem to add extra home fries to bulk it up, but the potato flavor is too strong, even for a meat and potatoes enthusiast like me. The staff are friendly and will gladly provide extra salsa. Props to them! I'll have to hold off on Big Tony's for now. I hope they address the egg quantity and reduce the potato content in the burrito. I won't be back until I can confirm those changes. For now, I'm heading back to The Corner for the most consistently delicious breakfast burrito on the Westside.

    My family was over this weekend from San Diego. We woke up on Sunday morning and didn't really wanna go anywhere so we ordered breakfast from big Tommy's it never disappoints. Everything was very tasty. We ordered a variety of items. The breakfast burrito is huge and delicious. My cousin and I both ordered this item. Her husband ordered the 2+2+2 which comes with hashbrowns two eggs, your choice of meat and toast and jelly or pancakes her son ordered a Philly cheesesteak. He said it was very delicious. Came with mushrooms and peppers. I've been frequently in this place for many years they have a delicious burger and the french fries and onion rings can't be beat! This is just a little corner hole in the wall, but if you want good food at a good price point I fully recommend this place. The parking lot is tiny, but if you go before the lunch crowd, you can usually find parking. It's a family friendly place and all the food is very delicious.

    Came for an easy delicious burger. Fries were good. Crispy thin fries. Onions were good also crispy. Charbroiled burger was on point

    Stopped in for my first time last night because I live extremely close. Know they used to be 24 hours prior to the fire but now they are open early and close very late. It's a traditional to go oriented spot where you can also dine in. They have traditional American and Mexican options and the free parking lot attached which is a real bonus. Pricing is also fair and the menu is large. They are most known for their Chili Cheeseburger so I wanted to try that for my first time. I will say it was seasoned well and the chili has a great taste. I don't order that often so it was nice trying it again. The patties are not very large, almost the size of In-N-Out but a little larger. We also ordered the BLT with Avocado and overall it was OK because there was not much bacon in it compared to other places that I've been to recently. If they would add more bacon and Dijon, it would make it much better. We also ordered the french fries which I would suggest splitting one order because two orders is really a lot of fries and one would really cover enough for two people.

    Fantastic concept, however, there were some things that I wish were different. I was so excited for…read moretwo of my favorite cuisines to come together in an intimate dance between the vibrant flavors of Mexico and the deeply complex taste of Japanese food. Here are some improvements that could be made: 1. I have no problem paying for a quality meal, but the prices were slightly off from what seemed adequate. 7 dollars for chips and salsa but 18 dollars for 4 yellowtail handrolls is just one of a few examples of an interesting price discrepancy. I will say the yellowtail handrolls were delicious! 2. Flavors and dishes on the menu were slightly misleading. We ordered the Osaka burrito but got a deep fried chimichanga, it was a little heavier than what was expected from the panko encrusted description (just put Osaka chimichanga). The tomatoes in the slaw were saved by their mango friends which balanced out the flavors enough to eat the entire dish. The abundance of salt in the tomatoes drew out too much moisture causing some unwanted sliminess, and made them so sad I felt obligated to sign them up for therapy. 3. The cauliflower dish is such a great idea, but the flavor of the cauliflower overpowered all of the other components of the dish. If the cauliflower were fried as much as the burrito was with a healthy amount of achiote seasoning, and the 4-6 pomegranate arils were actually a robust pomegranate sauce drizzled around the dish, it would be a 10/10 veggie plate. I will say on a positive note, the service was great, and the waiters were so nice when we were disappointed with the food. They took back our dish with no hesitation and took it off the bill no problem. If you are out on Sawtelle, looking for a good vibe, and don't mind opening up your mind to some new flavors, then Hermanito is a great option. It wouldn't be my first choice personally, but I would be open to going back if I was invited by some friends, or if they changed up their menu a bit.
