I was excited to try this place, and the food was good with decent service. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness. The dishes didn't seem fully clean, the mimosa holder was sticky, and the cups looked worn. I ended up requesting plastic cups and utensils. I hope this is something they can improve, because it definitely affected my visit. Also, our food was pretty cold. I'm not sure I'll be back or recommend this place. read more

Stopped by here with some friends for breakfast. I ended up grabbing the I love u burrito and Mango Lemonade. Burrito exceded my expectations, the bacon was crispy, and the sunny side egg was perfect. The two salsas complemented everything. The mango lemonade was bland, not sweet or sour. Service was great, pretty fast. read more

had an amazing experience at I Love Brunch! The Tierra y Mar molcajete was absolutely delicious, loaded with perfectly cooked steak, shrimp, melted cheese, chorizo, and nopales. Every bite was full of flavor. I also ordered an horchata and a vanilla latte, and both were so good and refreshing. On top of the great food, the service was amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'll for sure be going back soon. Highly recommend! read more

I Love U Brunch - Tierra y Mar Molcajete - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Van Nuys, California

This former Grain Cafe - Van Nuys locations is the new and latest. I Love U Brunch is very much all in the name, however for this plant-based foodie their small limited vegan menu consist of a "Chicken" Sandwich, Burrito and Tacos. None of which are labeled on receipts, especially via third party apps. They've cancelled one of my take out orders as well as deliver for me and always seem to be out or low when in person... I'm not sure what the deal is here, but as far as I can tell it's very lackluster. It looks nearly exactly the same on the outside as when it was Grain with new signage and some nice additions to the inside (vibrant colors) though it could be a cousin of it's previous incarnation off Gilmore Street/Van Nuys Blvd. Not ideal for large groups as most tables and chairs, including the patio are limited to 2 to 4 people. I will say that some of the sides are vegan friendly as well as the avocado toast (without egg) and veggie wrap when you omit the dairy/cheese. Ideal for the average everyday brunch/breakfast lunch goer for sure. Easy small lot parking or local street parking. Load of beverages and dairy based smoothies which I believe can be made vegan since they do offer both almond and oat milk for their lattes. The service isn't the best, very off beat in a off way so I'm not sure I'll give them any more chances. read more

Had brunch with family on a beautiful Summer Sunday. I ordered the Birria Taco; siblings ordered chicken salad and Steak and eggs. Tasty and satisfying. Steak was fresh and tasted great! Wait staff was friendly and helped us with suggested items to try. Outside tables available; we ate outside. Everyone had a smile on their faces as they walked out of restaurant. Wonderful local brunch spot for all! We shall return. Cheers!~ read more

I ordered over the phone and they told me 10 min. I arrive 15 minutes later only to be told to wait 15 more minutes. The avocado toast, isn't even toasted. The quality of the food is really bad. It's not even warm. And to top it off, it was over $50 for 3 items that were subpar. Really disappointed. read more

I was walking and saw this place on the corner of my eye. It's kind of hidden from the main street. But it's definitely a hidden gem. Very clean inside. The girl working is very nice. And the food is excellent. I love my dish. They play music inside. It's a nice vibe. I would definitely come back. 5 stars read more

The service here was great, however we ordered Arugala Salad with caramelized walnuts and none were in this salad . We brought it to the attention of the cook, they sent over granola as a supplement?!?!? We ordered a specialty drink which was supposed to have cucumber,apple, pineapple... they had informed us there was no cucumber Unfortunately all the rave reviews we saw on TikTok were a bust for us. The club sandwich was pretty ok .... That I will give them. Unique flavor . read more

The restaurant is located behind Sketchers and the parking lot is very tight. I recommend street parking, as the spaces are quite narrow. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated at a booth and our order was taken promptly. I ordered the cafe de olla, which could have used a bit more depth of flavor, as it tasted closer to regular coffee, but it was still enjoyable. My mom ordered a margarita and my uncle had the carrot orange juice. The juice was made fresh in front of us and tasted delicious. The margarita was perfect, strong and definitely did the trick. They even lit it on fire, which was a fun touch. The food was good overall, though slightly on the salty side. I ordered the molcajete with chorizo and cecina, which was flavorful and came with a very tasty salsa. Service was attentive and quick throughout our visit. Next time, I plan on trying the pancakes or waffles, so I will definitely be back. read more

Was told about this place from a friend. Do yourself a favor and try this place! It's not in the best of areas, parking it tight, there's metered street parking also. It's a small restaurant, but cozy, clean, brightly decorated, nice music. Was greeted very warmly as we walked in. Service was great. The staff took their time answering any and all our questions. They serve delicious Oaxacan food. They have basic breakfast if you want, pancakes etc. I got the Oaxacan plate, chicken smothered in fresh mole sauce. Chicken was juicy, mole rich,tasty with perfect amount of heat. Rice and beans from scratch with hand made tortillas. Wife hade Oaxacan enchiladas, stuffed with Oaxacan cheese, and mole sauce. We can't wait to go back and try other dishes. I had a Jamaica and my wife had a cafe de ola and a moca coffee which she raved about. They use real good Mexican chocolate. Prices are average with today's restaurant. They also make smoothies. So good to find a delicious family run restaurant, that's clean , food made from scratch, and happy people working there. We will become regulars for sure! Please check them out. read more

Date: May 11, 2025 It's Mother's Day and I have no idea what I wanted but stumbled across this spot scrolling down grub hub. So decided to indulge since it's my special day right? Ordered two classic burritos which has the choice of steak or chicken, salsa, rice, guacamole, and pico de gallo. I got one steak and one chicken. They were both pretty good. Only thing that marked the stars down was that there was no pico de gallo, and it had beans. (I hate beans but since the description didn't mention, I didn't remove it). Also only had like a teaspoon of guac which was kind of sad. . It was quickly made which was nice because my order came way earlier than expected. Came with some chips too which was nice. Sadly some were pretty stale but the ones that weren't were really good! Perfectly salted and fried. Overall it was a nice first try. The menu looks good too so hope to try it in stores next time! read more

I love this place, it's small but they have delicious food. It's my 2nd time here. Recommend the green chilaquiles. The cafe de olla is amazing, I personally think the cold brew was better. Vivian is so attentive and nice. The decor is cool too. Parking is behind the Skechers outlet with just a few spaces. There is also street parking. read more

My family and I were looking for a great brunch spot on a Sunday morning, and we ended up at I Love U Brunch. I'm so glad we did! This place is a total gem in Van Nuys, and the entire experience was fantastic from start to finish. The vibe inside is super warm and welcoming--perfect for a family. We settled into a cozy booth, and the fun began. I have to start with my dish, the Algo Bien (steak and eggs). They bring it out and literally light the steak on fire at your table! It was such a cool presentation, and it's not just a gimmick; the steak itself was delicious and cooked perfectly. I also had a fantastic, traditional café de olla served in a beautiful, colorful mug and a refreshing cucumber, celery, and apple smoothie. It was a hit with everyone. My wife ordered the chilaquiles, and she loved them--they had the perfect balance of sauce and crispiness. Our 8-year-old daughter was happy with her classic eggs and hash browns and a hot chocolate, and she and my wife shared some of their fluffy pancakes. All in all, it was a fantastic meal. The food was creative and delicious, the ambiance was cozy and authentic, and it was a memorable brunch for the whole family. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended. read more

My husband had the Love U burrito and I had the El Campeón. It was fantastic! We also had the cafe de olla and a vanilla latte. Atmosphere was cute, tucked away in a little side street right off of the unassuming Van Nuys Blvd. Sit near the window and you'll have plants right outside. Service was prompt and friendly. We'll definitely be back to try their dinner menu at some point. And we'll definitely be back because I know I'll want the El campeón again. I was surprised to see the 3.5 rating honestly because I had a five star experience. Glad I didn't let the stupid rating keep me away. read more

Cute little spot in Van Nuys with amazingly delicious authentic Mexican breakfasts! I love some good chilaquiles and theirs are one of the best. With three different sauce options to choose from; red, green, mole, you can go wrong with either. They are sauced really well yet still crunchy and my eggs were cooked just how I like them. I added the birria and the meat was tender and flavored really well. Our table also ordered the dish El Campeón and it was enormous!!! So much food that can be easily shared. Everything was seasoned and cooked beautifully, really felt like a home cooked meal. They also have their own hot sauce they make in house and it was delicious and had the perfect kick. To drink I highly recommend the cafe de olla! read more

very small, not cozy spot. we were not greeted when we walked in and the woman at the counter took forever to seat us despite there being space that was "occupied for a reservation" that cancelled and when the girls heard they laughed about it. Horrible customer service, the waitresses both walked away when I was speaking to them multiple times, leaving my questions unanswered. One of the girls said "no mas hablo español" as she walked away so I repeated myself in spanish and she just stated. Will not be returning, should've read yelp reviews instead of trusting tiktok influencers lol. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE I WILL NEVER BE BACK!! I've been here for lunch 2 to 3 times a week since I moved offices near by and while the food is good the service is HORRIBLE! The female waitress moves incredibly slow and has the nerve to be extremely rude. This is really unfortunate because I will never be back after the way she spoke and treated me today. BAD BUSINESS and NO SENSE OF HOSPITALITY. read more

Came in for the first time today in the morning, the taste on my burrito really threw me off. It almost feels like it was made with left overs. Service was nice. Also got really smoky, I think they should have windows opened since the kitchen can make it smoky and make it hard to breathe. read more

First time having brunch here and it was ok... not so "wow, this is a place I'll come back to". I got the red chilaquiles and they were nothing special. The pickled onion they put on them are very spicy. Their orange juice is very good, and freshly squeezed but I wouldn't come back read more

3.5/5 The service was good and the food was good but the only reason why I came here was because of the beautiful design in their plates and yet all three of us had plain white ones. I came for an experience like I saw on IG but was disappointed. read more

It was delicious! Comes out looking just as good, if not better than the pictures! I saw this place on PostMates and ended up deciding I had to go and try it in person.

This place was recommended from my husband's co worker. NOPE to everything!!! The fresh orange juice was NOT fresh more like a powered drink that was foamy & separated ! The water glasses need to be replaced they were cloudy and looked dirty !! I had eggs which were horrible like HOW can you mess up eggs .the sausage was good ,the hash browns cold dry and tasted old I think they were reheated and yesterday's left overs !! My pancakes ugh NOPE not good either!! My husband had the chilaquiles he said nothing special I actually thought the sauce was not bad ‍. My son had Nutella French toast . He barely ate any said he was full then said he didn't really like it!!! It looked nasty and soggy . Again like how just how do you mess up French toast eggs hash browns and pancakes !!!! sAVE You're money !!!!! And we waited 15 minutes just to have drinks .... read more

I have to start off by saying that I miss the Grain Cafe that was previously at this location so I was a bit salty about trying this new place that opened up until my brother raved about it. Went in with my family and was immediately greeted by a young lady. I decided to get their birria burrito and my partner got the chilaquiles with birria. To our surprise the taste was very delicious and we were glad we tried them out. read more

A tip for the owner- please institute a smoke free zone in the front if you have outside seating. In one sitting there were three instances where people went out of the restaurant to smoke literally right outside your door and right next to the tables that are outside where a family was eating read more

Unfortunately flavor went down hill in the last several months. When I first tried it I thought it was soooo insanely delicious now all the hot sauce taste has changed. N who wants warm salsa for their chips? That taste like Marina sauce?? read more

Nice little golden spot that I found coming out of court (nothing bad) lol. Found it thanks to my aunt recommending it and brought my mother to try it out. Arrived and was greeted by a nice young lady who attended us and gave us great service. The food was really good and they had cafe de la olla, which is a nice Mexican gesture since my mother, along with my whole family is from Jalisco. The price was reasonable and went Home with a. Full stomach. Will definitely recommend anyone who happens to be near the area read more

Sooooo yummy. The chilaquiles are delicious. My partner got the breakfast burrito and loved it too! Nice people and good service. It's a small spot so it can get crowded easily, but worth the try :) read more

Food was great. Didn't take long considering it was a big party. Our server was super friendly and accommodating.

Meh. Good for a date. Not for groups. Small tables, large plates with full size cafe' de olla'. Colorful. The cafe' de olla' was delicious. Sweetened well. There's better within a couple miles. I had their signature burrito with chicken. The salsas were tangy and spicy. The meat to rice ratio inside the burrito was serviceable. We were a group of ten. The kitchen forgot one order. The eggs for the two orders of Chilequelles were overcooked. Probably won't be returning. read more
