Breakfast Plate

Food was delicious the eggs were really good they put like sage or something in it. No frills kinda place but the food is good.

Delicious food, friendly service, and ambiance. This little cafe was a pleasant treat and we were glad to have stopped in based on yelp reviews to give it a try while we were nearby. We went on a Tuesday morning and parking with construction was a bit hairy, but otherwise had a great experience once there! I really loved the flavors of the LA burrito and tried the new blueberry toast for a touch of sweet. The toast was almost too light with the lemon, maybe nicer with some lemon juice brightness for the blueberry compote to cut the sweetness, but still tasty.

Chilaquiles
Itzel C.

Mexican mom approved, she liked this plate more then at other places. We had a Mocha, iced chai tea latte chilaquiles and buttermilk pancakes. The iced chai tea was okay nothing special, the buttermilk milk were so good, soft, thick and really yummy. The chilaquiles the chile verde was on point. The waitress was really nice! Overall space was quaint. I would comeback for the pancakes

Amazing choice for brunch convenient to Hollywood. Came across this place while staying at the W Hollywood. I wanted a place with bottomless mimosas to save money and not be overcharged for staple breakfast items at the hotel restaurant. I assumed the trade off would be food quality but I was completely wrong. Th Grand Marnier French toast was Top 3, not 3. Probably the best french toast I've ever had. The orange flavor was infused into the toast and not overpowering, but the perfect compliment. The turkey sausage was a little dry but I chose that as a healthier alternative to bacon, so I won't be overcritical. The bottomless mimosas were straight to the point and a good mix of juice and bubbles. Our server was kind and attentive. They offer indoor and outdoor seating along the sidewalks which gives it a nice neighborhood vibe. Ideal spot for good eats without the luxury tax you would expect from Los Angeles. 10/10!!

Stopped in for the first time as a party of two for brunch on Friday and we both had a really nice meal. It's a quick and casual little brunch and lunch spot that was even better than we were expecting. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out pretty fast. They do have a good size menu with a lot of good options on it, there was more than I expected there to be. Inside is not very large, there aren't many tables, but service is fast so I'm sure the tables turn quickly. I did not see any outside seating, it was all indoor. There is not a dedicated parking lot, street parking only. We found metered parking on the same block of the restaurant otherwise parking may be a bit tricky. I started off a BBL, which is an iced coffee with brown sugar, banana syrup, and cinnamon. It was honestly really good and I would go back in there just for that alone. For my breakfast, I chose the Crab Cake Benedict and added avocado and really enjoyed it. The crabcakes were almost crispy and they had a lot of flavor to them which I really enjoyed. My eggs were cooked exactly as I ordered them and overall, I thought it was a really nice meal. It is a bit more expensive than I expected it to be, we did start with a pair of the Corn Ribs, which were a nice start but everything was just a little bit pricey. It was almost $90 for a party of two, but I do think it is worth it if you're in the area and stop in on occasion.

This is a nice brunch/lunch place in LA. Food was good. Service was nice and attentive in the beginning, but got really slow near the end. Maybe they got busy or it was near closing time so they had to clean up. Our server didn't use any note taking device, so they forgot certain requests when the order got more complicated. * Cilantro Fire Shrimp Burrito 4.5/5 - The burrito was good. The shrimp was well seasoned with a small spicy kick. Some items was asked to be added on the side but not all was included. * Chilaquiles 5/5 - I really liked this. It came with chips, Spanish rice, and fried eggs. You can add pulled pork for $5 extra. The sauce was good, creamy and slightly spicy. * Dubai Chocolate Waffles 5/5 - Their twist on the Dubai chocolate. It came with waffles and strawberries drizzled with pistachio cream and chocolate sauce, sprinkled with crunchy filo pastry. It was pretty good! * Avocado Toast 3.5/5 - Kinda simple, avocado slices on top of sourdough toast, nothing exciting. They did hook us up with a lot of avocado, though. You can add eggs for $3.

Walked into eat this cafe with no high expectations, I had been recommended this place by various people before and I finally gave in to try it out! I entered like an hour before closing so it was empty but I heard it gets really busy during the weekends because of their bottomless mimosas! I ordered the breakfast burrito, not expecting much, but this burrito was soooo good! I paired it with seasonal fruit and it made the whole meal perfect! My plate was fulling and fresh, my boyfriend ordered a sandwich with their house salad and we were pleasantly surprised with the portions on the sandwich as well! They offer complimentary waters for table but I ordered their ice tea! It tasted like it was freshly brewed, not bitter just right! I am so glad I stopped by this place and was left amazed by the food and the customer service. Only sucky part about the establishment was that there is no private parking lot, only public street parking !

Spicy Chicken Sandwich
Evon S.

Small brunch place where I highly suggest a reservation is made. The food is good however you may need to order more to keep up with the endless mimosas that keep getting poured as part of the bottomless mimosas package. The service is decent I must say. Unfortunately I did not get my full 2 hours of mimosas but more like 45 minutes because they were closing an hour after my reservation time. It's unfortunate but I'll keep the business hours in mind for next time.

Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Flaming Burrito
Justin C.

Great vibes here! I was in the area and came on Saturday around 11 am for brunch. Parking is slightly difficult, as it's just street parking but there is a neighborhood behind the restaurant and we found parking about a 1 min walk away. We didn't wait at all for a party of two but honestly, I would recommend trying to make a yelp reservation here. It seemed to get pretty busy closer to noon and a few larger parties were waiting outside when we left. The place is super small and we were like no more than 8 inches away from the table next to us haha We ordered the Spicy Chicken Sandwich which comes with potato chips and the Flaming Burrito which comes with Home Fries. We absolutely loved the Home Fries; they're mini potatoes and so hot and crispy. We had to order another side of them!! Honestly, the food was alright. It was good and we have no complaints but it wasn't mind blowing. The flaming burrito is basically crispy chicken pieces, chips, and eggs and honestly it was the burrito form of the spicy chicken sandwich lol so we feel like we basically got the same thing. I would highly highly recommend getting the bottomless mimosas! I never saw a table with an empty glass and the server was on top of it walking around the restaurant topping off everyone's drinks even if they were more than half full! It's a great deal too - $22 for bottomless mimosas. Like I said before, the vibes in this restaurant were great. Very lively! The servers were all great and attentive. I had a great time here and will be back. Solid 4.5/5 in my book.

LA Burrito
Spring G.

I think the kitchen may open later u arrived at 9 am . Three people in store one server and I believe possibly an owner . They are cashless . They are quiet . There kitchen opens when the chef comes in I presume since seven minutes in and an order is being placed . If you want to work here there is plenty of space ! I've been here before so I know the food is good ! Mimosa fell flat zero bubbles but I'm just studying lines and it isn't a big deal ! Parking is around the area metered

Omelette with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes
Justin J.

Been here a few times and met a couple friends here for brunch. Long overdue for a review. Made a reservation ahead of time so didn't have to wait, and a line did form eventually, so I'd recommend making a reservation if you're going for brunch. Started off with mimosas, as you do with brunch, and bottomless mimosas are $22 opposed to $10 for a single mimosa. Definitely a good deal! For food, we each tried something different. The omelettes are nice and full, depending on what you want in them. We had it stuffed with bacon, cheese cheese, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and topped with avocado. Eggs were cooked well for the omelette. The chilaquiles was topped with a verde sauce that was pretty tasty, but the tortilla chips were pretty soggy overall. Would have liked a little less sauce so you get that nice crispiness from the chips. Our last item was the flaming burrito with crispy chicken in spicy habanero sauce, 2 over-medium eggs, homemade ranch and cheddar cheese. The chicken was nice and crispy, and you get a little spice with the habanero, but the house made ranch really didn't come through. It could have used that ranch flavor to complete the flavor profile of the burrito. Overall, great deal on the mimosas and the food was flavorful, though each item wasn't necessarily perfect, they were still good. Solid brunch spot for the weekend.

Decided to have breakfast at this very cute cafe while we were in LA. This was about a mile from our Airbnb. Seating can be indoor or outdoor. We all enjoyed the foods and our drinks. The service was good & quick. Overall it was a great experience.

Huevos Rancheros
Sofis K.

HUEVOS RANCHEROS 8/10: I have been coming here for years and I was excited to try out the huevos rancheros, it has a good salsa ranchera, and the tortillas are perfectly crisp. I suggest adding the steak! * My suggestion to the cafe would be to change the serving bowl to a plate. I found it a bit difficult to cut my food especially since I opted for potatoes instead of rice. BOTTOMLESS MIMOSAS 10/10: My father loves Eat This Cafe for their mimosas. The price is hard to beat in the area and it pairs perfectly with the food! CLUB SANDWICH 10/10: This sandwich is a parent favorite, the quality has always been consistent. AVOCADO TOAST 10/10: One of my favorite menu items here, the aioli is to die for, and the avocado is perfectly ripe every time. SOUTHWESTERN 10/10: My mom's go-to salad with the added crispy chicken. NOTES-- - I would mostly suggest Eat This Cafe for their mimosas and savory food items. I have found that their sweet items, such as the Dubai chocolate waffle and their pancakes fall short compared to the other menu items. - Great ambiance, such lovely waiters, their service is always amazing! - Parking can be a be difficult to find in the area.

Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

We had to park around the corner in a really disgusting area that was full of trash, dog poop and smelled really terribly of urine and sewage. That being saidddd! The Shepard's Pie was sooo good, it is my new favorite. Served in a skillet, it was a big, piping hot portion that's enough for 2 whole meals! It paired absolutely beautifully with a pint of their Bike Shed Brew. I felt like I was in London, spot on! The only thing I would add is some HP Sauce and/or Tabasco. I waited 10 years to finally check this place out and it was absolutely worth it! I'd love to bring people, my girlfriend even said it would be an amazing wedding venue, we just wish they had a better parking situation.

I ordered the Steak Nachos for $32. $22 (Nachos) + $10 (Steak). It was a generous portion. I checked the bill, and it was straight up. I gave our waitress a generous cash tip. The waiters and waitresses were great. What irked me was that, when I looked at my credit card statement, they overcharged me. It was probably because I clicked NO TIP, yet I tipped the waitress. Wow! That's disappointing. I'm never gonna take my friends here. Parking sucked, but not impossible. But you gotta walk the ladies on the darker areas of the street.

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight. The mussels were flavorful, the calamari was crispy and cooked well, and the fries were delicious. Those dishes really saved the experience . Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink. Prank is a convenient place for dtla residents in surrounding apartments to come get some quick bites and drinks and catch a live game

Distrito Catorce is a gem in Boyle Heights that delivers on all fronts. The food was outstanding!…read moreFresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game. Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Manuela is one of the finest restaurants I've been to in a while. Everything was exquisite from the…read moremoment my group arrived. We were a party of 6 for dinner. We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.
