After a run, bike ride, or when you're just really hungry, it definitely hits the spot. The taste is decent, but honestly, I find the burritos a little bland perfect for the demographic that doesn't like spices. Nothing really stands out and I wouldn't say it's one of the best burritos I've had. But for the price, convenience and portion, it's a solid option. I really like the Redondo Beach location. The staff is warm and friendly, service is quick and there's plenty of parking since it's in a shopping center. The Hermosa location is a little different. Not warm or friendly. It's in a much busier beach area, especially on weekends and there are a lot of parking meters, so parking can be more of a hassle. All cops in do hermosa is print out parking citations & DUI's so stay cautious on the meter and don't drink & drive. Overall, I still recommend Brothers Burrito. I'd say try it for yourself. It may not blow you away, but when you want something quick, affordable and filling, it definitely does the job. Make sure to eat it with the green mild salsa, its great btw!

The bacon was crispy but not burnt and the vegetables were a perfect compliment to the meat and cheese. The Cole slaw wasn't any I had tasted before. The flavor was light and felt refreshing. It was more of a sweet rather than savory which was different but good. The Bad: my wife and our friend had ordered fries and it did not arrive at all, which was disappointing. Not only that, they still charged us for the fries, which sucked. Overall the food was good, but it did suck getting charged for something we didn't receive.

The not-as-good: Service was just okay. Maybe it was just from working an exceptionally hot day, but it didn't feel like staff really cared to be there. We are South Bay locals, but I'd imagine this place is a huge draw for tourists and the wait staff just seemed annoyed by our presence and waved us off like we were tourists. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and it was our first date night out since having a baby 7 months ago, and no mention of that our entire visit (or no one cared to ask). In terms of food, I'd say the charred watermelon salad was the star of evening. Katsu calamari fries were fine, nothing to write home about, but a nice accompaniment to the salad. We also got the Huli Huli chicken entree to share -- chicken was nice and tender, but the "lettuce cups" were just two large leaves of lettuce and it wasn't very clear how to assemble them (if that was the intention), so we left them alone. But the charred pineapple was my absolute nemesis that evening. The sun had set, and the fire pits at the tables to our left had just been fired up, but it was still pretty hard to see our food. My husband pointed out that the spiky pineapple skin was still on the pineapple, so I avoided that and started cutting around to a smaller piece of the inside of the pineapple with a knife so it could accompany the chicken -- the bottom ended up being SO charred that it was lodged in my throat for about 2-3 minutes, like something was grating against my esophagus Kinda ruined the rest of the meal for me. Suggestions: Candles for the tables when the sun sets so patrons can see what they're eating? Or have wait staff explain the chef's preferred method of consumption? Overall, we'd come back for a happy hour by the beach with a small group of friends with some small plates and people watch during sunset to some live music, but as a special occasion spot, I'd find another spot.

I had a pretty solid positive outlook on them. I ordered the "French Toast Latte". I feel like it should have been called the Burnt toast latte. I genuinely took 3 sips and tossed it away in the trash can on the side walk. I tried to mix it and grabbed a straw to do so and it made it WORSE. I'm extremely disappointed that I wasted $7 on a latte. I've had bad coffees before, but this one took the cake. It tasted like milk, and the espresso tasted acidic, burnt have you. At least with other bad coffees I could stomach at least half of it but this was just really acidic. I noticed other people mentioning the coffee scene in LA isn't the same anymore and this attested to that. They started picking up foot traffic & I wasn't going to wait to ask for a remake or anything, I took the L and life moves on. I wasn't going to play Karen about it. The Lamington pastry somewhat saved the experience. This was an extremely moist, spongy, sweet cake that was delicious with coconut flakes on top. She was AMAZING. I snagged a piece off my friends and it was reeallllly good. I would recommend if you like coconut and a softer spongy cake like pastry! Talk about the underdog in this trip. The aesthetic is cute, it's clean and resembles a house. I like the scheme they have going on. The other half looks like a gift shop that I did not go into. They have a restroom available as well inside. Customer service was just customer service. Nothing amazing or bad about it. Pretty standard. We mentioned it's our first time & the girl didn't really care lol. We had questions and it was very whatever kind of vibe. No enthusiasm. Parking would be on the street so good luck!

At my latest adventure at this place, and I have had problems before, I ordered their Croque Monsieur, which is my main go-to at this cafe. I've gotten it so many times I can't even count the number. The way our order arrived was first my wife's quiche was brought out. Then, several minutes later, our lattes arrived. Don't you hate it when your drinks are delivered after your meal? Then, about twenty minutes later, they brought out my Croque Monsieur. I was about to go and ask where it was when I finally see a staff member coming out with it. The problem was, she brought it to me in a to-go container. They brought my wife's quiche out on a plate, our lattes in mugs, so why was there any confusion? We never ordered anything to-go! From that, we had to go inside and ask for silverware, a plate, and all of that kind of stuff. Just an annoying waste of time! This may seem like a small thing. And, it is. But, this stuff has been going on a lot lately. They really need to get their staff under control, get them listening to their customers, and bring their customers what they ordered. The other problem I have with this place is that it has become overrun with flies. It's really annoying! I mean, we were just batting flies away from our table the whole time we were sitting there. As were a lot of other people. Looking at the open tables and chairs, there were flies just resting on them. I realize this is not their fault. And there's probably nothing they can do about it. But, it's really becoming an annoying experience to eat here, not only in terms of service but in terms of flies. They really need to clean up their act. Awh, Cafe Bonaparte, Redondo Beach, where have you gone?

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bolt, a charming restaurant nestled in the heart of Hermosa Beach. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for a delightful culinary experience. Today, I would like to share my thoughts on their delectable eggs benedict, made with bacon, and their fantastic all-day breakfast service. Let's start with the star of the show - the eggs benedict. At Bolt, they have truly mastered the art of creating a flawless eggs benedict dish. The combination of perfectly poached eggs, velvety hollandaise sauce, and crispy bacon atop a perfectly toasted English muffin was simply divine. Each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures, leaving my taste buds in a state of pure bliss. The bacon added a smoky and savory touch that elevated the dish to new heights. It was clear that the chefs at Bolt take great pride in their culinary craft, as the eggs benedict was executed flawlessly. What sets Bolt apart from other restaurants in the area is their commitment to serving breakfast all day long. As a breakfast enthusiast, I was ecstatic to discover this hidden gem. The ability to indulge in a sumptuous breakfast at any time of the day is a luxury that is hard to come by. Whether you're an early riser or prefer a leisurely brunch, Bolt has got you covered. Their all-day breakfast menu offers a wide range of options to suit every palate, from traditional classics to innovative creations, ensuring that there is something for everyone. Aside from the incredible eggs benedict, I must also commend the attentive and friendly staff at Bolt. The service was top-notch, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was enjoyable from start to finish. Their knowledge of the menu and genuine enthusiasm made me feel right at home. The ambiance at Bolt is another noteworthy aspect. The restaurant exudes a cozy and welcoming vibe, making it the perfect place to unwind and savor a delicious meal. The decor is tastefully done, striking the right balance between modern and rustic elements. It's an ideal spot for a casual brunch with friends or a relaxed solo meal. In conclusion, Bolt is a culinary haven in Hermosa Beach that impresses with its outstanding eggs benedict made with bacon and its commitment to serving breakfast all day long. With impeccable flavors, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's an experience you won't want to miss. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to add Bolt to your list of must-visit restaurants. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

From a culinary standpoint, the salad could've benefited from sliced almonds or something crunchy. The Parisian baguette bread was very hard tough, with a decent amount of ham, but not enough spread or cheese..

Horchata Latte (hot 12 oz, $6.75): The drink was quite good with just the right amount of sweetness. *** A solid 4.5-star on latte and a 4-star on breakfast burrito.
