Side order Biscuit & Gravy
Ria R.

Lola's was a great stop on the way to the Sylmar Discovery Cube. Cute decor. Bright country modern farmhouse feel. I had two small kids with me, so the great service was a standout. Quick to take drink orders and bring kids menus with crayons:) Order: Chorizo burrito - very good, tomatillo not too spicy Strawberry and banana pancakes. These were dense and cakey, but also tasty. The kids loved them and they were filling. Just don't get these if you're hoping for super light and fluffy flapjacks, you'll be disappointed. Kids pancakes looked unappetizing. Did not order. Biscuits and gravy - uneventful, light biscuit, but kinda hard to mess this one up. I saw earlier photos with a lot more sausage and a browner, less white sauce, indicating maybe a recipe change? It's definitely more like a box recipe taste now. Parking is a bit rough out front at brunch time, so prepare to park on a side street and walk a block or two. Not terrible, but I did note this with two small kids. Overall, recommend if you are already in the area.

Croissant breakfast sandwich

Finally checked out Lola's kitchen for breakfast. Came in with some friends/ family visiting. It is a smaller place so had to wait about 20-30 mins before being sat. Staff were all very welcoming, easy street parking. We ordered hot chocolates, breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, and I opted for the biscuits and gravy with eggs. Everything was delicious, I think I would prefer the eggs on the side rather than on top of the biscuits, but either way a good cozy breakfast spot!

A small, cute cozy small family restaurant in San Fernando on McClay. Our waitress was great, friendly, and attentive. Now, for the food, it was presentable. I ordered a Chicken Club Sandwich. I was given the choice of having the chicken grilled or fried, but I stayed with grilled. The chicken tasted like it was from a package, boiled, and then pan grilled (flavorless). The bread was tasty, buttery thick bread, but oily. I liked that they serve steak fries. My wife ordered the 6 piece fried buffalo wings meal. They were tasty, buffalo sauce tasted homemade, and the wings were larger than most other places. Also served with steak fries and side of mac n cheese. Breakfast ONLY served on Sundays - Grr. They use Clover for transaction. There is a Clover app, but they are not on the list of providers.

Interior of fried breakfast burrito. Delicious!

Nice small town vibe, the decor is attractive yet homey. The wait staff is super friendly and despite being busy thay were most attentive. But I'm certain you want to know about the food. I had a fried breakfast burrito and it was the best I've had in ages. The homemade tomatillo salsa is epic, fresh and flavorful. My wife had their CFS with potatoes, gravy, scrambled eggs, and a biscuit, she loved it. Their coffee is very good as well, the perfect breakfast blend. I love Lola's Kitchen, a great little eatery.

2nd time coming here, we came in during lunch hour it wasn't to busy. We got seated right away and got served right away. Lola's kitchen is a nice breakfast/lunch restaurant, it's nice and clean. Overall we really enjoyed our lunch here. Thank you to everyone at Lola's kitchen...

Breakfast Burrito
Ja M.

After dropping off our car for service, we went hunting for food, and Yelp led us straight to Lola's Kitchen. And listen... Lola did not come to play. The vibe is cozy-casual, the kind of place where you instantly know the food is about to hug your spirit. We were first-timers in this part of the Valley. I was torn between the Country Fried Steak and the Biscuits & Gravy, but I trusted my higher self (and my appetite) and went with the CFS. Best decision of the day. That steak came out like a golden, crispy treasure, the crust was perfect, the meat was tender, and the gravy?? Baby, that gravy tasted like Lola whispered affirmations into it while stirring. Rich, seasoned, beautiful. The potatoes were diced so evenly and cooked beautifully. Nice golden brown. My husband ordered the Breakfast Burrito, chimichanga style, and all I can say is... magnificent. This thing was LOADED. Eggs, cheese, potatoes, sausage and speaking of sausage, whatever brand they use needs a trophy. Flavorful, juicy, everything you want wrapped in a tortilla and then straight-up fried. A masterpiece. Did we stop there? Of course not. We got the French Toast, because balance. Sweet, fluffy, perfectly cooked. Overall, this is a lovely little breakfast gem. I'd 100% come back when I'm in the area and next time I'm tackling those biscuits & gravy too.

(+) Nice spot. Breakfast burrito was great, deep fried is the way to go. Crispy and delicious. Good salsa verde on the side. (+) Great service, no issues (+) A few tables outside, nice to dine al fresco (+) Fresh squeezed OJ was $7 but really nice and definitely fresh (+) Clean bathroom, funny signs on the wall.

Cute place to eat breakfast! The food was delicious & service was great! If you're looking for a cute place to eat breakfast, eat here and support local businesses! I ordered a breakfast croissant with turkey and it tasted so fresh. The vanilla iced coffee is also good and I sneaked a sip of my boyfriend's hot coffee which was also really good!

Inside

My Wrap was very good the food was 4/5 for me! The turkey pesto wrap is what I ordered and could have had better seasoning but it was still pretty tasty. I'm mad that I did not make it for their breakfast because that's what I wanted to try! Next time I will for sure! The service was not that great to me I give it 2 or 3 out of 5. No one never came back to check on me to see if I needed anything. Also, it was very hard to understand one of my severs and I don't think she could understand me, but the other server was decent and explained the best wrap to get. The ambiance is cute and very clean. Cute lil breakfast, lunch, and dinner spot. They even sale mimosas, margaritas, and hard seltzers! I will come back to try the breakfast! I want to try the protein pancakes for sure! Plenty of street parking! -Marshay

Breakfast Burrito
Mayra H.

My favorite restaurant in San Fernando! I absolutely love their breakfast burritos--they are always delicious. The service provided by Abigail is amazing. She is very attentive, friendly, and always makes sure customers are well taken care of. Highly recommended!

Blueberry Pancakes
Andrea R.

The service is great. Very attentive and very lively and homey. Our server was kind and we received our food after 15-20 minutes. The breakfast burrito was delicious, I split it with my mom. We enjoyed it. The pancakes however...weren't the best I've had. They are similar to ihop pancake quality. They tasted as if they were made with basic pancake flour you buy at a grocery store, nothing special or homemade. They were a bit too dry for my taste. Will try the French toast next time to see if they're just a savory spot vs sweet breakfast spot.

Avocado Toast
Tristan J.

First time customers today. My wife had their avocado toast and I had the breakfast burrito. Good food, service and ambiance. Nice local eatery with abundant parking everywhere. We'll be back when in the area.

Cali Benny with Potatoes
Duv O.

I give this place 3.6/ 5 the alternative rib eye they serve since they didn't have the order I asked for steak was ok. It was missing seasoning and it was bland 2/5. Over all service was ok. Not worth $22 though for a small piece of meat.. The pancake was good 4/5 and the Turkey Benedict 4/5 .The staff was helpful and keeping the place clean. Inside has good atmosphere and well lighted windows.

What fruits are served instead of potatoes? Are the fruits separated or are they already mixed? I'm allergic to strawberries.

Sorry I am a customer so no idea how they serve fruit

Can we get a picture of the menu? The food looks delicious!

Went here last night for a late dinner and had a really good first experience. The menu is massive…read moreso we were overwhelmed at first. It might help to look at the menu online ahead of time. The place has the industrial aesthetic which we really liked. Before ordering at the counter, the staff let us know there will be about a 50-minute wait. We were fine with it since we weren't in a rush or super hungry yet. So we were pleasantly surprised that our food actually came out much sooner than expected. It felt like a normal wait time you would expect at a sit down restaurant. My son had chicken nuggets and fries, my husband had chicken and waffles with a vanilla frappe, and I had the chorizo con huevo and a michelada. The food was warm and delicious, and it's like they were all made fresh. Portions were also big, so we had leftovers to take home. I thought the prices were a good value for how much food you get. The only thing we thought was overpriced was the $10 large frappe but we will just get something else next time lol. Service was great and the two ladies that helped us were lovely and friendly. They do mention on their website that food can take longer during busy times since it's made fresh, so come with patience. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Super disappointed! We brought some friends here for crepes on a Friday night because Yelp shows…read morethat the café closes at 11 PM. We arrived around 10 PM, an entire hour before closing, only to be told that everything would have to be served in to-go boxes. We even spoke with the manager, who explained that the employees need to leave exactly at 11 PM, so they stop serving everything in-house before closing time. If the café is technically open until 11 PM but customers can't actually dine in during the last hour, that should be clearly communicated on Yelp and to customers before they come in. We came specifically to sit down and enjoy crepes with our friends, so being told everything had to go in a to-go box was extremely disappointing. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

The decor is a throwback to 1950s diner. Lovely red leather seats at the counter. Welcoming feel…read moreto the restaurant. We went during lunchtime. Service was prompt. My girlfriend ordered a Rueben sandwich with thick cuts of corned beef and a generous portion of fries. I opted for the low carb menu ordering the Swiss cheese and mushroom burger (no bun) and salad. Again great portion and burger was cooked perfectly, I chose medium temp. Good food, good prices and excellent service. We will definitely return

Let me set the stage for your imagination. It's 8am on a Saturday, and I just dropped of my car…read morefor service after a long night out. I'm winning in adulthood. I decide to go to James since it's walking distance and treat myself for breakfast. The hostess was on point. She acknowledged me and seated me right away as I entered the door. It's going to be a great day. Another score. My waitress (she didn't introduce herself, so we'll call her W) was attentive asked for my drink order, brought me coffee, and gave me time to decide. Please note I'm running on abt 5 hours sleep. I'm not the sharpest pencil atp. I'm looking for the early bird special because I'm really not that hungry, you know that item that's in big block letters in front of the menu. Anyways, Everything (90%)of the menu is 15.95/each. Sooooo, now I gotta think. Great. I digress. My spoon had dried food on the handle, and I touched it. I internally died. I asked for a clean spoon, so I can stir my coffee. After a few minutes, I asked again for a spoon. W was apologetic and brought me the spoon, and I 30% revived. I asked for an omelette instead of a scramble, but I got a scrambled omelette. I'm not an omelette connoisseur, sooooo. It was very light in color like water was added(?). The veggies didn't taste/look sautéed. Freshly raw thrown it. Okay the hash browns. Who doesn't love buttery crispy edges hash browns. They looked delicious, but the they tasted oily wet. I added a lot of ketchup and cholula to mask the taste and feeling, but it didn't really mask it well. It looked like my toast was buttered on one side. I asked for iced water, and W was attentive to my request. I was done eating at 9:02am, and I waited for my check, and waited, and waited. At 9:27am I went to the cashier to pay w/o a check. My car was ready. My car was ready!!!!!!! My car was ready before I got out of the restaurant.

Here's a more casual, natural version that works well for Google or Yelp:…read more As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a huge portrait of Frida Kahlo, which immediately gives the restaurant a cool atmosphere. The restaurant is really nice inside, and I especially liked the lighting. We were seated and given a fresh basket of tortilla chips with some really good salsa. I also used the restroom while we were there, and it was very clean and smelled freshly mopped, which I always appreciate. The menu has plenty of options. We ordered the chilaquiles with green sauce, and I went with the weekend special, menudo. We both really enjoyed our food! The menudo came in a big bowl, was reasonably priced, and definitely hit the spot. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and made sure we had refills. I was also able to sit back, enjoy my food, and watch some college football playing in the background. Overall, we had a really good experience. Good food, nice atmosphere, clean restaurant, reasonable prices, and friendly service. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! I can also shorten this into a punchier version that people are more likely to read all the way through on Google Reviews.

How did I forget to leave a review? That's mind blowing!…read more THIS is my spot for tamales. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley and this is the best tamale ever. I've had homemade, local OG places that have been around for decades. Nothing compares to Magaly's. The size of the tamale is healthy! It's very big and meaty. There is usually meat in every bite. Even if there wasn't I'd still be happy with eating just the masa. It's flavorful on its own and so moist. I usually stick with chicken and pork (green sauce). I used to love the ground beef and jalapeno but lately it's been too spicy. I always get double rice. So light and fluffy. Tortillas come out hot and soft. Everyone I bring here really loves it too. If you're getting it to go, order at the counter. For dine in, they will come to you and take your order. The staff is always very sweet and nice. They are not super attentive and checking in on you. Most of the extra stuff like sauces are on the table. Take out containers are on the counter and it's quicker to grab it yourself. The place has plenty of seating for small or large parties. There's an upstairs that I've never checked out. I love that you can see the tamales being made if you come at the right time. Super fresh and delicious!
