    Breakfast Burrito
    C C.

    Not bad for $10.95. This bacon breakfast burrito is a big size for this price. Staff were very friendly and service was quick. It's literally a mom & pop place hidden in the courtyard of the drollinger building. seating is limited, but there are seats outside in the courtyard. It's a good place to pick up & go.

    chilaquiles & eggs ( tasty )
    Jeff G.

    Was looking for a non chain place to get something to eat. Saw this and decided to give it a try. Independent, friendly, and relaxed spot. Had the chilaquiles and eggs. Hit the spot. Pretty tasty. Glad I found it. I will definitely come back if possible.

    American burrito - breakfast
    Elaine W.

    A mama papa store. Food is cheap and freshly made. Store is clean. Got their most popular item - burrito, and it didn't disappoint. Well packed burrito. Enjoyed every bite! The owner was also very friendly.

    Grilled chicken salad
    Michael T.

    Exceeded expectations for small mom and pop shop. Open for breakfast. Friendly staff. Ordered a grilled chicken salad which was only 8.50$ and filled me up. Good amount of chicken, especially when compared to panera bread. Cozy atmosphere. Good place for quick bite.

    Fresh Squeezed OJ
    Michelle T.

    Great lil' mom and pop place to pick up a hot meal and snacks. They offer breakfast burritos and sandwiches and lunch such as BLT sandwiches and mexican food options. They also have a cooler with cold drinks, and a chip and candy stand and made to order fresh OJ. It's an affordable stop before heading to LAX or if you want to grab a quick bite. Park in CVS/Ralph's lot and it's in the brown office building.

    happy, clean and delicious smells wafting out of their kitchen
    Roch B.

    A hidden gem. COVID-friendly / Outdoor Dining in the courtyard available. Delicious Breakfast Burritos. Fresh customizable veggie/fruit juices. Killer sandwiches. They all come from this tiny little cafe tucked into the courtyard that my chiropractor shares. After passing it many times following a visit to my crack dealer (The Westside's #1 Chiropractor, Dr. Joga) I decided to stop in after Dr. Joga's employees raved about the breakfast burritos. I opted for a custom-crafted carrot-apple-celery-orange-beet-lemon-ginger juice. Fresh, buzzy and delicious. While I was there, a happy pair of regulars were busy chowing down on a gorgeous looking American Breakfast Burrito and a Croissant Sandwich. Free Plentiful Parking on the north side of the paid parking structure. HIT IT!

    Mexican burrito, add avocado... Apple Magic Mouse not included.

The server said it was "getting plated" at the 30 mins mark and waited much longer and finally decided to just cancel it. 2. The pricing is way too high for the size of the plates. 3. The food was good but not excellent. For example, the pork belly noodles were just a glorified Japchae. 4. Parking. I mean it is.. Arts district. You can spend 1 hour finding street parking or paying an arm and a leg for a lot. The ambiance is modern but warm. I've been a few times but this might be the last for a while.

    I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

    Positives first: the ambiance is lovely, nice patio and plenty of space. We were seated quickly for…read moreour brunch reservation. The menu is big, though pricey!! I got an omelette and it was fresh and light, but very small for the price and no bread included. Now for the rest, the service was appalling. Food came out quickly but after that we were barely checked on. We had to ask several times for things that we ordered and had to flag down the waitress to order a second drink and they took forever. We could understand that it was busy but the waitress never apologized or said anything like they were understaffed or anything. Also, we had a few questions about the menu and our drinks and the waitress would just say, "I think so?" or give a vague answer. She didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu at all. Maybe she was new, but clearly training was lacking. I don't think I'll be returning but since I see many reviews relating to service issues, hopefully management is able to address the deficit

I think he was pretty satisfied with his drink but my drink was mediocre. Chai lattes are my go-to so it's easy for me to compare and the drink here just doesn't have as much flavor as I expected and tasted watery. Not itching to return but if I did, I'd order an açaí bowl or a pastry as those seem pretty good.
