Best burritos in the South Bay and in a hospital cafe? I was certainly intrigued when I heard about…read morethese famous breakfast burritos at Torrance Memorial. Social media is all abuzz with the talk about these breakfast burritos and when I was nearby, I decided to check it out. Torrance Memorial is huge and has several different cafes and restaurants. These burritos that are the talk of the town can be found at Helena's Cafe, located on the second floor of the West Tower. Helena's Cafe is not too big, so you'll instantly spot the area where the burritos are made. You will need to fill out a breakfast ticket order form. In the form you can choose your meats, toppings and tortilla wrap. Meat choices include turkey sausage, pork sausage, ham, bacon, hot link and deli turkey. Topping choices include tomato, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach and cheese. Tortilla choices are wheat or white. You can also have options of egg whites, 2 or 3 eggs or double meat. Breakfast burritos are $6.50. I chose to get a breakfast burrito with pork sausage, ham, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach and cheese in a wheat tortilla. I paired this with a Don Francisco coffee for $2.99. Overall the breakfast burrito was hearty and delicious. I loved the soft and fluffy eggs, the savory meats and fresh veggies. I added some of the tomatillo green and red salsa for some extra spice. All the flavors came together for a great burrito to kick off the day! I wouldn't call it the best burrito in town, but if I'm in the area, I'd probably grab one. It's tasty and a great deal, though I wouldn't go out of my way just for this. One thing to note is that these burritos are only available Mondays thru Fridays, until 9am. Overall, Helena's Cafe serves up a burrito that's solid and delicious. If you happen to be at Torrance Memorial or nearby, I'd definitely recommend checking it out. For the price and for you what get; it's worth the trying. Prescription for a perfect morning: burrito + coffee :)! (Rumor has it their pozole on Thursday is also good ;)).

A once lowkey hospital cafe, that has now gone viral due to it's delicious breakfast burritos?…read moreCrazy enough too that I also like hospital food. As a patient of the medical group, I had to come down and see if all the buzz on social media was true. And it was! First thing I want to say is you must get here before 9:50am. That is when they stop serving breakfast. I came around 9:30am and it was pretty empty. They open as early as 7:30am. The legend himself Jose, who is the chef on the grill was there. There are green cards on the front counter to complete your order. You fill it out and give it Jose. I ordered a turkey sausage burrito on wheat tortilla with tomato, bell peppers, cheese, spinach & mushroom. Sadly Jose informed me that there was no more turkey sausage. So I went with the ham instead. Also the burritos are pretty cheap, the wheat tortilla is $1 extra. The burritos took about 5 minutes to prep. I also ordered a fountain drink and rice krispie treat on the side. My husband ordered a pork sausage burrito with flour tortilla and tater tots on the side. I tried both the green and red homemade salsa and it was very tasteful. The red salsa definitely has a kick to it! But the green salsa is just right. I highly recommend checking this spot out ONLY if you are in the area or a patient in the hospital! Do I think it's worth a drive and going out of my way? No. But I definitely would come back if I am close by.

We talked to chef Julie who is the owner and she told us that they get all their ingredients from their local farm up on the mountain! ...so it's all literally farm fresh. She did not set out to have a restaurant, but her daughter talked her into it because she wanted a place to get their favorite coffee (and it's amazing)which they could only get in Silverlake, so she opened Bites and Bashes. You can really taste the love and meticulous attention to detail in this food! From the reviews we read, the breakfast burritos and pancakes were the standouts so we decided to do a split on both. We got the Pop's Pastrami breakfast burrito ($18.95) which is delicious pastrami, organic sauerkraut, eggs, crispy tater tots, provolone, scallions, house thousand island, and the secret standout ingredient - B&B's signature chopped pickles. I've never had pickles on a breakfast burrito but believe me when I say it was an amazing add and experience. The taste of this burrito came alive in my moth like a beautiful symphony orchestra giving attention to notes that you love but didn't know they played so well together! So great!! The second item we got was not on the menu but they had it featured in a displayed at the register where you order. It was the Banana Turo Pancakes ($16.95) and they were beautifully fantastic - in flavor and presentation. They are banana pancakes with salted caramel, crispy lumpia filletine, sautéed jackfruit and plantains. These pancakes were amazing! We also got vanilla lattes ($6.50) which are made with the beans of their favorite roaster and these lattes were wonderful. 5 glowing stars all the way around!! So glad we made it to Lomita this morning!

Another positive is that they are very fast. The manager is always up front and genuinely nice and fast. Food arrives within minutes. But today, I stopped in for breakfast and it was not good. The tater tots had an off, chemically flavor, like a cleaning solvent. The eggs and the gravy were flavorless. It was really gross and left a very literal bad taste in my mouth that I can still feel as I write this. Maybe they were just having a bad day? But my meal before the tip was $22, so that left a very figurative bad taste in my mouth. I'll think twice before going here again.

I actually have the Yelp Maverick check in badge which means I have checked into places with subpar average ratings in the past. The Marie Callender's in Torrance has since closed for good a while back so it's just Pedro and Gardena left in the South Bay. You order at the counter and they bring your food to your table. The hubby and I had brunch here. The dining area only consists of 10 table and chairs. There is no AC and they have a fan blowing. Our brunches were mediocre. Hubby's meatloaf, mash/gravy, and veggies needed a lot of oomph. Seasoning for sure. My breakfast croissant was on fast food level. Tater tots were A-OK. Finally, for dessert my banana cream pie looked so sad. Not the Marie's of yesteryear. It was meh and needed more love. The service was actually fine. There are some nice people working here. Anyway, I would score them a 2.5 but round down to 2 stars.

I will say it's one of the best Chicken Fried Steaks that I've ever had. Also one of the best Cinnamon Rolls I've had all year. Inside is quite large and has many different seating options from counter, to booth, to table, to outdoor. We chose to sit at the counter and the only issue we had was that no one came to take our order or bring us water for about 10+ minutes. After that, though, our server was very polite and everything came out fast after that. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but it was easy for us to find free street parking close by. The menu is very large, and one thing that we noticed was how popular their bakery items were. Their pie and cake slices were flying off the shelves, in slice and whole form. We must've saw over two dozen cake orders happen in just a short time we were there. I started off the meal with the Cinnamon Roll, and it was giant and delicious. I really liked the glaze on it and enjoyed every bite. I wish they would not add raisins, that would be my only request, but still it was very nice. I followed that with a Country Fried Steak and honestly thought it was incredible. It was one of the best that I've had ever, and I think it was due to the quality of the meat and the breading. The steak was juicy and every part about it was just great. The hashbrowns were also extra crispy and the combo was just perfect. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and will say that it's the best Chicken Fried Steak in Los Angeles county.

However, I think on certain days, you can park in the lot across the street (pay attention to signage). I'll have to return to eat soon and do a proper review of the restaurant.
