Hamburger
John T.

Rating: 3.5 Stars, but 4 stars sounds better. Background On Visit: Drove past this place many times, but never got a chance to step in and try their food until Wednesday of this week before a yelp event that was nearby. Credit Cards: They're accepted, but it would be nice if they were open and honest about their 5% surcharge. With that said, bring cash so you don't have to be surprised later to see a hidden fee after the transaction is done. I absolutely get why mom and pop shop's do that just to survive and to recoup some money to pay credit card companies for using that service. Restroom: No restrooms Location/Parking: Major cross streets are Valley & Cabrillo Ave.. Next to Aloha food factory. They do have a private parking lot and you can park along Valley or Cabrillo Ave.. Ambiance/Decor: It's a hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant with some furnishings to sit and eat on. Kinda outdated, but you do you, Ernie! Service: Service was okay. Food came out at a decent time. Food Of Choice: I got myself a hamburger with no seasoning on the patty. Hamburger was quite tasty. It can't be a little messy to eat because of the sauce. So ask for less sauce. Ernie's Burgers For Thought: Would definitely give them another go. Breakfast items look intriguing.

Alr this place is down right immaculate! Nice parking lot, good service, and even well priced food. Tiny-little eatery, but thats how I like it . Not perfect: no restroom, have to ask for condiments, and the place is a tad dead.

Sunrise sandwich. Sausage and bacon

Was told that this place has good food for a good price. So decided to give their tacos a try, they had a taco plate which included 4 tacos and it comes with a side of rice and beans. It's a small mom and pop shop, very cute, downside is that they do not have a bathroom, but you can dine in and eat. Nothing stood out in regards of their service. But really enjoy seeing this place being enjoyed by the locals. I'm regards of the plate I got, chicken lacked flavor, just seemed overly seasoned with black pepper. The sausage egg sandwich, the inside of the English muffin was a bit burnt. Overall, the food fell short, but if you're in a crunch in trying to get a bang for your buck, this is the place.

Bacon Burger combo, added cheese for 75 cents

Fries were good, cashier was nice and brought the food over, but damn I don't know how a burger can be dry and sopping wet at the same time the patty was thin and dry as heck. No moisture at all in their meat and bacon. Their thousand island was WATERY to the max!!! My whole bun on the bottom was extremely wet and just mushy. It was not enjoyable. It didn't seem like the bun was toasted either. I can't say I'll ever get a burger here again, might try something else if I really have to as they did have a decent number of customers come in for other dishes like Mexican food. For now, I sincerely don't recommend the burger...

Double Cheeseburger combo
Daniel F.

Nice small burger joint up the street from Cal St-LA. I ordered the bacon burger dry which was a huge mistake because it was really dry. My kids ordered the bacon burger and double cheeseburger as well with the sauce and it was a bit too much sauce that caused the bun to be really soggy. The fries weren't too bad, but overall the food was just average. Service was great and they clean the tables immediately once your done eating. Small parking lot with a spacious bathroom in the back which requires you to go outside and around in the back literally.

The food service here was great! I would definitely come back here and try new food options. I would always get the number #3, which has eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast. And that is just delicious. The service here was amazing, the cashier was very welcoming to his/her customer's and it just makes my day. The ambience here was OK. I feel like they should repaint the place a little bit. But my overall experience, is still the best. And I would definitely come back here.

Chilaquiles
Luis C.

I always pass by Ernie's and been tempted to try their food out. Today I finally stopped by for breakfast which it opened at 7am. I ordered the chilaquiles with 2 over medium eggs and it comes with rice and beans. It wasn't the best ive ever had but tasted ok. Im more of the spicy type of food guy. Their menu options are great I am definitely coming back to try other stuff. Hole in the wall type of place. It does need its little fixing here and there to be nice inside but I didn't mind.

#3 breakfast plate
Tony Y.

What an amazing local burger and breakfast joint! The food is both affordable and tasty. Servings are generously sized so you can leave full without breaking the bank. You can't go wrong with any of the burgers they have. If you don't feel like eating a burger, get the chili cheese fries--they're delicious! There's several tables inside and two outside. Service is great. I would recommend parking on the street right in front of the restaurant if you plan on dining in and you drive a sedan. It's hard to get out of the parking lot without scraping the bottom of your car.

Craving for Mexican-style fast food? You won't go wrong with this place. The prices are budget-friendly, and the satisfaction level is incredibly high. We had an avocado burger and chili cheese fries for two, and the portion was just right! A must-try here is definitely the chili cheese fries. Spicy meat sauce over melted cheese, wrapped around the fries and popped into your mouth. It's a taste sensation like you've never experienced before. (As I'm typing, I can't help but think about their chili cheese fries!) The avocado burger didn't disappoint either. A large chunk of avocado nestled inside the burger balances perfectly with the greasy burger patty. You can't help but keep taking bite after bite, and before you know it, the big burger is gone. It's funny how the seemingly ordinary burger bun reminds me of the ones in Taiwanese breakfast shops. Who would have thought that a Mexican fast food joint in Los Angeles could evoke a feeling of being back in Taiwan? If you're currently reading reviews and happen to be Taiwanese as well, why not give this restaurant a chance? Don't let its small size and slightly less clean environment deter you. Just imagine it's a Taiwanese breakfast shop, and you won't regret it. Their breakfast is also worth trying!!

Got the grande breakfast and shared with my manager it was very good and big for two people.

Family meal locations are usually good
Nicolas J.

Definitely a spot I'll come back to try other items at. I'm typically a fan of these spots that have like EVERYTHING as an option. Want breakfast? They got it. Want a burger? They got it. Want a low cost family 4 pack of 4 fries/burgers/4 drinks? They got it. Want some Mexican food? Well that's the route I went lol. Known for burgers as it's called "Ernie's burgers" but let me just vouch for the wet burrito with asada as it was pretty impressive for a LA burger spot being the masters behind it. As someone who grew up in San Diego this was a pretty close reminder of home with quality, taste, and fullness upon consumption You made a fan of me Ernie and I'll be sure to stop by when I can on future lunch breaks

Nothing Rib Eye Steak and Eggs about it..where is the meat !?? Huge let down
Geo S.

Horrible service, prices aren't the same as what they show inside the restaurant. So you'll be paying more and they won't honor . And second they charge you extra for using a card and they won't even tell you everything I just mentioned till you're done getting ripped off.. this was my first first time here and I'm judging based on the horrible service cashier Kenia provided .. and definitely my last time here specifically after trying the meatless rib eye steak burrito with hardly no meat ..

Nery M.

Nice spot to grab a burger. Order a double hamburger with bacon combo. The burger was massive and the fries were seasoned right. Only negative thing was that the burger was sort of greasy. Other than that for the quality, quantity and price I think this is a good spot. The service was good

My husband and I absolutely love Pharo's! It's one of our favorite places to eat, and we've been…read morecoming here for over a decade. My husband actually worked here when he was in high school, and he always talks about what a wonderful experience he had. The great memories and amazing food have kept us coming back all these years. The food is always delicious, the service is friendly, and the quality has remained consistent every time we visit. It's a place that holds a lot of special memories for us, and we always look forward to coming back. We highly recommend Pharo's to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Five stars!

I have been to Pharo's twice. The first time, I ordered the bacon cheeseburger special. I added…read morebacon to the burger and upgraded the side to fried mushrooms. The bacon cheeseburger was really good. The patty had great flavor, the bun was soft, the bacon was crispy, and the veggies were fresh and crisp. The fried mushrooms were delicious too. The batter was so crispy. On my second, and most recent, visit, I ordered their teriyaki plate. Although it's not on the menu, I asked for half chicken and half beef. The plate comes with white rice and a simple green salad with Thousand Island dressing. While the teriyaki had good flavor, I didn't really enjoy it. I was expecting the meat to be thinly sliced, but instead it was cut into large cubes. If you like bigger chunks of meat in your teriyaki, you'll probably enjoy theirs. The prices were pretty steep for a short-order restaurant. The teriyaki plate was $15.99 plus tax. I also ordered my boyfriend a bacon cheeseburger combo, which was $16.99 plus tax. The combo comes with a small drink. For the price, I think they should at least offer a medium-sized drink. They do offer refills, though. Customer service was good. Everyone was welcoming and friendly.
