Their new rice plates were also really yummy and came with some mellow garlicy rice that paired perfectly with their crispy pork or my fave which was the super savory flavorful beef. MNM.

This was my first visit to a banh mi hoa phat. I feel like…read moreI've been seeing them a lot more lately from a lot of social media influencers. So I decided to finally stop in when I was nearby for work. But they're obviously known for is their banh mis. My sister had brought back the grilled pork sandwiches home and have had that and it was wonderful. Since she doesn't like pork belly I decided to order this for myself. The baguette has a nice crunch to it but also where it's not sharpen cuts the roof of your mouth. The box has a cool design so it doesn't get steamy and ruins the texture of your sandwich. They also put pickled vegetables on the side and a bag so you're able to add a little or as much as you would like. Everything is very tasty and what a great mouth feel you have from the pork to the veggies to you the bag get and also the sauce and clearness they're all works together very well. I tend to park on the street when I come visit here. This is a great place to come visit if you're looking for Banh Mis in the monterey park area.

Went to Vida Pura and got their breakfast burrito. It's been on my bucket list for a while, and…read moreneedless to say, it was definitely worth it. I'm glad I finally got around to trying it. I loved the avocado and hash brown combination, and the salsa that came with it paired really well, a little kick with it. The portion size was great and definitely filled me up. The service was fast, but seating is pretty limited since it's mainly outdoors. Parking can be a little rough because it's street parking only, and it was pretty full when I came on a Saturday morning. I would definitely come back. I also saw that they make coffee and matcha drinks, and they all looked really good, so I'd definitely come back to try that next time!

Vida Pura is a Latina-owned plant based cafe located in the heart of East LA. It was formerly a…read morevegan food truck and eventually became the current brick-and-mortar cafe. [Parking]: Free small public parking lot directly across from the shop. [Amenities]: This is a really small coffee shop with no indoor tables and only two small outdoor tables. No restroom is available. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are the Breakfast Burrito, Teddy Bear (double espresso, agave, housemade vanilla cold foam, Teddy Grahams), and Banana Nut. All drinks are made with oat milk. Please note that the kitchen closes at 1 PM on Monday - Tuesday and 2 PM on Wednesday- Sunday even though the cafe remains open for another 1 - 2 hours. Come early for anyone wanting to try kitchen items like breakfast burrito or breakfast sandwich. *** Banana nut (double espresso, house made vanilla cold foam, house made banana syrup - medium $7.50): It came with two banana chips. The cold foam was quite underrated and I could taste a hint of banana flavor. The drink wasn't as sweet as I had expected - I liked it. Breakfast burrito (Refried beans, soyrizo, tofu scramble, crispy hashbrowns and sliced avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla - $13.50): Portion wasn't huge, but it also wasn't small enough to finish in one sitting. It had one of the softest texture for breakfast burritos. The soyrizo was very flavorful. It also came with a side of salsa - quite spicy but flavorful at the same time. *** I probably still prefer meat-based breakfast burritos, but their soyrizo breakfast burrito is quite good and the coffee drink is excellent (4.5-star for both items). I would definitely recommend this small coffee shop for a quick grab-and-go.

Most tortas are $19.83 and it includes a side. Love that they are on Doordash now and they offer online pickup! Got the Carne Asada Torta and the side - Apples and Cream. The torta was slightly burnt and darker than I expected. The carne asada didn't really seem like carne asada quality but more similar to ground beef quality. My favorite was probably the avocado because it was so fresh! The Apples and Cream was nothing special since it was just apples with cream. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with the torta and it seemed overpriced so I most likely won't return or recommend unfortunately.

My friend who frequents this place said the menu has changed there are less items to chose from now. They have a daily specials. On Tuesday they have buy 1 hot dog and get the 2nd one 50% off sounds like a great deal. I got 2 chili dogs. Why the 2 Stars? I was sadly disappointed by the taste and quality of the hot dog. My friend said they changed the hot dogs, they used to have a casing on the dogs that snaps when you bite into them, that's long gone. These chili dogs were small not worth the $8.05 that they're charging. And the chili lacks flavor, I get better taste from a can of Hormel Chili. The Famous Chili Dogs of the Whittier Blvd cruising days are over. That's my honest 2 cents about it.

tl;dr come to this premium Italian grocer for the solid subs, and save room in your fridge for the…read morewide selection deli and pantry goods Look no further for an approachable Italian gourmet grocery. Claro's Italian Market originally opened in San Gabriel in 1948, delivering an affordable array of Italian ingredients, deli goods, and baked treats. After 5 generations, Claro's now operates locations across Southern California. At the San Gabriel location, you can easily park across the side street in Claro's dedicated lot. The first room is dedicated to checkout, baked goods, and wine bottles. Further down, the back room triples a pantry, a refrigerator, and a deli. The chatter among staff and customers mostly drowns out the soft background of Italian tunes. The imported Italian grocery selection is excellent by LA standards, but don't sleep on Claro's made-to-order sandwiches. Grab a slip from the ticket dispenser and browse the well-stocked refrigerator section until a staff member shouts out your number. My fiancee and I love the Spicy Mike, which immediately hits your palate with a punch of flavor. The Great Grandpa Joe is solid as well, nostalgically recalling my memories of when Subway used to be good. The Large size sandwiches are the length of your forearm, and the sauce is perfectly proportioned to ensure that the sandwiches are neither dry nor soggy. My only critique is that I prefer a seeded roll to Claro's standard crisp-and-chewy Italian roll. Nonetheless, Claro's prove that a good Italian sandwich doesn't have to be overly complicated or gimmicky, and they set a good benchmark for what a hoagie should be. In contrast, Claro's Italian pastries were "fine" at best. The cookies were dry and muted in flavor, while the Cannoli Tart missed the satisfying crunch of a classic cannoli shell. As such, I'll be sticking to groceries and sandos.

Scanned the menu and went with the crowd-favorite #56 Big Kahuna Cheese Steak. Since I skipped breakfast and was starving, I ordered the Giant size. When I got it, I was completely stunned--this thing was literally bigger than my face Quick thoughts on how it tasted: No weird sauces, and the flavors worked surprisingly well together. They went super heavy on the cheese. The beef was thinly sliced; while it wasn't super juicy, it hit the spot. The bread was toasted crispy on the outside while staying soft inside. Packed with melted cheese, onions, peppers, and mushrooms, taking a steaming-hot bite was surprisingly addictive. Was it mind-blowing? Not really. But for someone with a Chinese palate, getting something hot with no funky flavors was more than enough to satisfy me. About the price: $23.15 after tax. Given the Giant size, though, it's easily enough for two meals. My friend ordered their most famous #13 The Original Italian! As their most popular cold cut sandwich, it was packed with various Italian hams and salami. Watching the employee constantly slice meat at the counter and seeing the oven loaded with sliced bread gave off such a bustling vibe, making us guess it had to be a solid pick. After about a 5-minute wait, we got it, and my friend couldn't wait to take a big bite! The taste was pretty unexpected, though--there was some hard-to-name, strange spice inside. It tasted pretty weird and I really didn't like it; definitely not as good as the #56.

So very disappointed. Not only have I been eating here for decades, but continued to order from…read morehere pretty regularly... until they continuously messed up our order. The last 3 times they've at least attempted to rectify their mistake... meaning we had to make a 2nd trip to pick-up whatever it was they forgot. So we took a break... sad because we always enjoy the food. Foolishly, we decided to try again... and again they messed up our order... this time they didn't put chicken on our pasta. It seems whoever took the order didn't write it down... wish I could say this was a big surprise! So we were fully willing to pay the difference and make the 2nd trip once again. But because it was near closing that was not made an option... just a sorry and goodbye. So now... after 6pm on Sunday, we are thinking of what 2nd meal we will have to purchase and pick up.... because this plain pasta is just not going to feed the 2 of us. We have so few options already in Montebello and we always prefer to support local small businesses.... but REALLY??? How do you consistently get it wrong??? Well I guess quantity is more important than quality... so unfortunately now we have 1 less option.

For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.
