Entrance (Nov 2025)

Lomita's Best is a classic diner located in Lomita. The restaurant has the old school diner setup and was pretty empty when I came here on a weekday morning. Yes there's a drive-thru for anyone who doesn't want to step outside of their cars. My order was ready in less than 5 minutes. [Parking]: Easy and free private parking lot. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted item is breakfast burrito, but they sell classic American breakfast, omelettes, hot cakes, egg sandwiches, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, salads, and Mexican salads. Their breakfast burrito and egg sandwiches are served all day. *** Sausage breakfast burrito ($10.99): The burrito had pretty basic and boring ingredients, but it was quite a satisfying breakfast burrito with enough portion to split in half & I saved the other half for lunch. Salsa itself tasted alright but it worked well with the burrito. *** Efficient service, generous portion, and surprisingly decent tasting breakfast burrito. Not the best breakfast burrito I have ever had, but I see this place as one of those everyday breakfast spot in town.

Blueberry pancakes and ribeye steak and eggs. Definitely hit the spot
Mike H.

I had a craving for blueberry pancakes and saw this place because all the other places were closed. I have to say I'm not impressed by much but Lomita's Best suprised me a bit. Ordered the ribeye steak and eggs with a side of blueberry pancakes. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare and the eggs were also cooked perfectly over medium which most places usually mess up. And the pancakes were loaded with actual blueberries. Everything was great! The only thing is that the condiments on the table were sticky and had to be wiped down, other than that simple and great. If you're local to lomita you have a hidden gem with Lomita's Best. I'll definitely be back to try their other items on the menu.

Pastrami burger

This place has been around for years here in the South Bay - you can eat in or they have a little drive thru in the back of the parking lot for their full menu. Inside is casual and service pretty quick and easy. The drive-thru is usually pretty fast and rarely more than a couple cars wait. The menu is quite diverse and eclectic with burgers and sandwiches as well as Mexican type offerings; plus a popular assortment of breakfast meals including egg sandwiches, steak and eggs, omelettes or pancakes platters! My favorite is the pastrami burger and fries - try it out!

If your looking for a big old school diner burger this is the spot. Everything was what we expected it to be the service was fast also. The food came out steaming hot we took it to go and it was still hot when we got home the pastrami burger is my favorite so far my wife loved the double cheese burger. Chili cheese fries were great might add extra cheese next time

Egg burrito

After reading yelp reviews I wanted to try the place since I was craving a burger.Its a burger joint,clean and small - housed in a former Taco Bell building. Service is on point and they deliver the food to you. I had the cheeseburger combo with fried zucchini and a root beer. Hubby had the egg burrito which was hefty, full of eggs and potatoes. My burger was decent and zucchini was good. For the price this place is a good deal.

Don't eat here, they have a cook who obviously doesn't understand what cross contamination is, just look at these texts from my husband, he was there and witnessed this ... Never eat at Lomitas Best unless you want food poisoning, I just watched the grill cook person get raw chicken, a tortilla, cheese, and steak with his fingers, threw them on the grill, then wiped his hands on his pants, then he continued with raw hamburger meat, then buns, yuck! This is every kitchen violation in one, it's absolutely disgusting, I work in the industry and I do cook, wash your hands between every protein and if you wear gloves change them before touching any other protein.. people will get really sick, I am call the health department, shut them down or train them because they are not following health protocol, I'm posting this for those of you who are unaware..btw..I called and spoke with the owner, he was nice enough to hang up on me...not surprised since he obviously doesn't care about the health of his customers

Polish sausage burrito

Our new go-to restaurant around our neighborhood! They have everything, the food is very reasonably priced, generous portions, and very good! The service is excellent as you are served after you order from the front register. The menu can be dizzying but complete with pix & descriptions. I've had their breakfast burrito, gyro, fries, and tacos... all very good! We've taken a few family members here and they were all surprised how good this place is. Though small in size, the ambiance is Mexican (old Taco Bell location perhaps?), they also have outside seating and a drive through! It gets a little busy but because of the seating & drive thru, we always find seats inside. They have unlimited coffee served at the front counter in a thermos pump... Come on in and dine for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They got your food for any meal and tastes!

Tiny black insect on table

The food and service is good I really recommend this place BUT the downside is they do not clean the tables or the chairs outside or even after each customer is done eating there because the tables are filled with dust in the cracks food left over and as well with ants on the table and in the floor next to your feet when your eating

i purchase a very basic chorizo & egg only burrito that was nothing great compared to making it at home. also, it definitely wasn't worth $12 with change. i cut it open myself to show the contents which looks good, but the flavor is very lacking.. they could also do better on their pricing flavor. my honest review would be the following. this particular burrito was just okay. i can't speak for any other food that may be good. i may return to try something different next time, who knows.

Hubbers and I just finished unloading donations off the car at Savers not too far away and since it's the lunch hour, and doing my diligent search, I suggested we try this place out. And that's how we found ourselves here. We had the pup with us, so it was going to be a takeout order. I took the time to go through their menu a couple of days before, so it was either gonna be the chicken fried steak and eggs or the pastrami burger. The sammich won out because that's what I ended up being in the mood for. I also got a side of deep fried mushrooms. Hubbers got a chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries to share. It's a 15-minute drive back home, but our food held its temp pretty well. DEEP FRIED MUSHROOMS: They are incredibly generous with this! I decided to take it out of the bag and put 'em in a bowl, and it was plenty - plenty enough leftovers for a small snack later in the day. The batter was great, the mushroom was great, but for the love of food, Lomita's Best! Please heed your customers' suggestions and season it! A little salt and pepper will do this side so much better! The side of ranch helped, but if they just add some taste to the batter, the ranch may not even be necessary. CHILI CHEESE FRIES: Like the mushroom, they were generous with this as well. The flavor is on point. They were also generous with the amount of chili and cheese. PASTRAMI BURGER: The buns were soft and fluffy. The burger was cooked well. Veggies were fresh. The pastrami, however, I felt needed a little more time on the grill. It might have helped popped a bit more of its flavor. Otherwise, it was delicious. And like the mushrooms and chili cheese fries, it, too, was generous in size. After having the starters, I was only able to consume half. Saved the other half for a 2nd meal to go with the leftover 'shrooms. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 3. Only snag is that when I was putting in my sammich order, the server said, "Pastrami cheeseburger." I had to correct her to make sure I didn't get a cheeseburger, "No, pastrami burger, no cheese please." I thought it odd when she came back with, "Pastrami burger, same thing." Uhm... no. It's not. And for someone who doesn't like cheese on their burgers, that makes a whole world of difference. I'm glad I made that clear. VALUE: 4. It's a bargain. PARKING: They have a private lot. Most spots were occupied during our stop. They do have a following! OVERALL: 4. They are popular. There were a couple of cars ahead of us and a line formed behind us in the duration we were there. That's a pretty good tell how good this place is! There's a nice history behind this family-owned place. It's a short and interesting read. If you have a minute, read about it! We're rarely around this area, but they are now on my radar next time we come around - if only to try the chicken fried steak and eggs! Maybe we'll dine in for that next time...

We were on the hunt for the best ceviche in the area, and Alfredo's Mexican Restaurant came up…read moreduring our search. We originally stopped by just to try their ceviche, but what made us stay was the chips and salsa! The chips were warm, crispy, and the salsa had a nice kick that really stood out. That convinced us to stay and have dinner. We ordered the ceviche and a burrito plate (carne asada), and both were delicious! The ceviche and salsa was so good that we ended up ordering more for our get-together during the NBA Finals weekend. It was a hit. We did add more lime for our preference. Monica took care of us, and she was wonderful -- very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Great service always makes a dining experience even better. Only thing to note is that parking is a bit small, so it can get tight depending on the time you go. If you're in the area and looking for good Mexican food, definitely give Alfredo's a try. We'll definitely be back!

Service was fine and food was nothing special. Tight with the cheese and salsa and chips at best average. Pricing a tad high for what you get but Mexican food is no longer cheap. I tried a cheese enchilada (not bad) Chile Relleno (ok) and carnitas taco which was surprisingly lacking in flavor. Refried beans had only a sprinkle of cheese but didn't want to pay $2.25 for a little more. Too many other options to come back here. The Red Onion up the hill is about the same price but better on all counts except maybe for the parking.

The social media reach was high because I ran into a friend i hadnt seen in years in line! It was crowded, but the line moved fairly quickly.

The food was decent, but the customer service definitely needs improvement. I know they were very busy today, but I really felt like my order didn't matter. My husband ordered a family box of fish tacos online and the order was set to be ready by 4:04 PM. We arrived at the restaurant around 4:10 PM and inquired about the online order and was told that my order was not available. I waited another 10 to 15 minutes to find out that our order was never in the system, because the Internet was down. I was confused why the initial employee did not attempt to retake my order instead of having me wait even longer. I finally got my order 30 minutes after it was set to be available and while it was hot and fresh, it was not really satisfied with the demeanor of the employees. I barely received a "sorry". If you plan to come to the restaurant, I would highly recommend either calling an order or just ordering in person because the online system seems to be flawed.

This review is about Tacos El Goloso, located at 1605 Pacific Coast Hwy, Harbor City, CA…read more My daughter is an EMT. While on duty, she stopped at this location and placed an order. Before her food was ready, she received an emergency call and had to leave immediately. That's the reality of being a first responder--when a call comes in, you leave immediately, no time to wait for your meal. Before leaving, she politely asked the cashier to cancel the order and refund her card. Instead of showing understanding or offering assistance, the cashier was dismissive and unhelpful. After completing the call, my daughter contacted the restaurant, apologized for the inconvenience, and again requested a refund. She was initially told that the receipt had been thrown away. Later, the receipt was apparently found, but she was then informed that if she wanted a refund--or even the food she had paid for--she would have to return to the location in person. The problem is that she lives more than an hour away and was only in the area because she was working. I called the following day in an attempt to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, I was met with the same attitude. The employee refused to provide her name, refused to provide a manager's name, and refused to provide any contact information for someone who could address the complaint. To be clear, this is not about the cost of a meal. Had the employee been courteous, professional, or even remotely helpful, we likely would have let the matter go. Emergencies happen. Schedules change. We understand that. What prompted this review was not the lost food or the refund itself--it was the employee's rude attitude, lack of professionalism, and complete unwillingness to help resolve a simple customer service issue. I will also acknowledge that by the end of my phone call, I became frustrated and was not as polite as I should have been. I regret that. However, that frustration came only after repeated attempts to handle the situation respectfully and being met with rudeness and resistance at every turn. A business can recover from a mistake. What it cannot afford is employees who treat customers with contempt and then refuse to provide any way to contact management when a legitimate concern is raised. Management should be aware that this employee's behavior reflects poorly on the entire business. If this is how customers are treated when they encounter an unexpected emergency, then potential customers deserve to know before choosing to spend their money here.

It's casual, not overly priced, and the food is very tasty. Good place to go for that breakfast or lunch meal.
