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...

I came here with a friend on a lazy Sunday afternoon when in dire need of some food and alcohol! We…read morewere both famished and wanted to place with healthy-ish options. We were thrilled to see a few menu options that were marked as vegan. Bonus points for being affordable! I completely missed their attached parking lot when I arrived and ended up parking across the street in the neighborhood, where there was ample free parking. When we arrived, the restaurant was about half full and there was live music occurring on the patio. We opted to sit inside where it was a little less noisy and there was a comfy and cozy booth calling our name. The vibe was great, with fun and eclectic decor. The service was really upbeat and friendly and our server was so kind and helpful. We asked him if the espresso martini had dairy in it (which I just discovered that is a thing at some places) and he double checked with the bartender to ensure there wasn't my dairy in it! I ordered that alongside a falafel wrap I must say, both of these worked so well together. The espresso martini was light and refreshing yet still had a bold flavor. The falafel was nice and crispy with a delectable inside and the tahini sauce was so rich and creamy. The meal felt indulgent yet hearty all at the same time. I left feeling so uplifted and relaxed all at the same time. Despite it being on the noisier side, I was still able to hear my friend well and it was such a great place for us to catch up. I would highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely return the next time I'm in the area!

We had a really good time here watching the Western Conference Finals! My husband had the lemon…read morepepper wings which he enjoyed, and 2 beers. I ordered the pastrami on rye (basically a Reuben) which was good. I wish it had more meat and it was half sliced, half chopped. Theirs seems to be all chopped up and crisped, which gives it a nice texture and almost bacon-y vibe. Messy but good. I had a side salad which was also good. Overall our meal was great and there were TVs visible from anywhere you sat, which is perfect for a sports bar. My big gripe is being charged $1 for pickles to go with a sandwich. Maybe you get more if they put them directly on the sandwich, but they forgot mine so the pickles came in a ramekin. 6 pickle slices for $1.

Great Tavern, everything was really clean. The waitresses were very friendly and checked on us…read moreseveral times. We shared the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and sweet potato fries. Plenty for two since we are seniors and eat lighter these days. Highly recommend.

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.

Burgers are insane, stacked tall with amazingness and have a ton of flavor. We placed an order easily online and it was ready promptly. My son and I shared the BULL ($19 - Bulgogi, Kimchi, Caramelized Onion, Shishito Peppers, Spring Mix, American, Cheddar, Korean Aioli) and it was amazing. It could have possibly had more aioli spread evenly on it if I had one very, very minor complaint. We also shared the Shishito Peppers because they were out of their awesome Brussel Sprouts ($10.00 - Lup Cheong Sausage, Chili Garlic Soy Reduction, Gochu-q) and man, that sausage is sick...so good. I wanted for more but at $10, it is a great side portion and the sauce that it came with was amazing...I kept dredging and dredging. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
