Great street-side BBQ spot with an amazing brisket sandwich!…read more Stopped by Street Tawa BBQ on Sunset Blvd and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. They keep the menu pretty simple, offering halal smash burgers and brisket sandwiches. I ordered the smash burger, which comes with two patties, cheese, onions, pickles, and sauce. The buns were nicely toasted on the outside while still soft on the inside, and the patties were cooked perfectly. Definitely a solid burger! The brisket sandwich was the highlight for me. The brisket was incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. Honestly, we were blown away that we were getting brisket this good from a street-side setup next to the 110 freeway! The location is definitely unique, and the food speaks for itself. If you're in the area and looking for halal BBQ or a good smash burger, I'd definitely recommend giving Street Tawa BBQ a try. Would definitely come back for that brisket sandwich!

It was so good that i had to order one to go, LIKE THAT. I highly recommend! The service was very helpful. Mr.Tawa helped us order and also showed us other options for food. I would say the ambiance of the area was very welcoming, great hospitality , and everyone had great energy.

Parking is easy in the Whole Food lot. the service is great, the staff is always friendly and listen to what you want. Now, these are not cheap hot dogs. They are great. Some people pour ketchup all over them, which I find gross, but whatever you like. I love their regular hot dogs with mustard. I really don't need to be fancy. We take them home or eat in the car. There is usually a line, but it moves fast. Every dog is seared fresh to order and served with pickles and most of the time pepperoncini on the side. Yummy. They sell great chips. I love to get those and add them to my dog. Try it, it is good. Their Mediterranean Dog has tomato and cucumber -with pickled onion and the best garlic aioli. I think that might be my favorite. Have fun.

Glanced at the list of the dog options which quickly had me craving a dog. This place offers not only meat dogs but vegan dogs ta boot!

Owner Michael is also the head chef... actually, the only chef, as well as a very cool guy! This first timer will be back again very soon! Craving another dog already! Next time I will try the vegan LA Street dog!

I got the Ekeler w/ everything but tomato and chicken strips. Both WERE SO DELICIOUS! I really liked their chicken strips too I can see why they would go great with sandwiches. Their DIRTY SAUCE is crack... it's their version of garlic aoli and it's amazing! Wish I had photos I big backed everything lol next time! Haha Everything was well packed and stapled to ensure no one could tamper the delivery too which I appreciated (:

I really hate leaving negative reviews, but this interaction bothered me enough that I felt like I…read moreneeded to say something. From the moment I walked in, I was polite and friendly, yet the employee helping us seemed irritated by literally every interaction we had with her. I initially asked nicely about using my inKind credit, and she immediately responded, "We're gonna have to do it with the register," in such an unnecessarily rude and annoyed tone that it genuinely caught me off guard. I hadn't complained, demanded anything, or given her any reason to speak to me that way. I was simply asking a question. My boyfriend gave her his order, and the attitude continued. When it was my turn, she didn't greet me or even ask what I'd like. She just stared at me. I didn't realize at first that she was waiting for my order until she finally said, "What do you want?" Again, the tone was incredibly unfriendly and made it seem like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. What really sealed it for me was the restroom situation. I walked over to the restroom and realized I needed a key. When I came back toward the counter, she was on a personal phone call while working. I politely started with "Excuse me" and began asking if I could get the restroom key. Before I could even finish my sentence, she interrupted me mid-call and abruptly said, "I left you the key at the front," again with the same irritated attitude. At that point, I honestly couldn't understand what I had done to warrant being spoken to like that. I had been nothing but kind to her from the second I walked in. I even kept being polite after the first rude interaction because I thought maybe she was just having a moment and her demeanor would change. It didn't. Every single interaction felt like I was bothering her. I understand people have bad days, and I normally give service workers a LOT of grace, which is exactly why I didn't want to leave a review. But being openly rude to customers throughout an entire visit while also having a personal phone conversation on the clock is incredibly unprofessional. The employee had stretched ear plugs, in case management needs help identifying who was working. I came in excited to grab sandwiches with my boyfriend, asked a completely normal question about my inKind credit, and somehow left feeling like I had been an inconvenience simply for being a customer. Really disappointing experience.

I've had patties from several restaurants in LA and San Diego, and I must say these patties are delectable *and* affordable! I ordered an assortment of the beef, jerk chicken, and veggie patties, as well as the "Classic Aussie style Chicken, Leek and Mushroom pie," and the "Curry Steak Aussie Pie." You really can't beat the price of these patties for the quality you receive: moist and tangy chicken, unctuous beef, and the veggie pattie was brimming with a softly spiced mixture of corn, leeks, and other greens. My students devoured these patties with gratitude! After class, I went home with my remaining haul that survived The Hungry Student Onslaught™ and threw the Aussie pies into my air fryer to reheat them. The experience I had with these pies was near-eroticism; after each bite I'd stop and stare at its juicy contents tucked between flakey layers of delicate crust with the unspoken inquiry buzzing in my mind: "HOW are these patties *this* flavorful? And, more importantly, WHY didn't I buy more of these for myself? Ughhhh." The mushroom! The leeks! The curry steak! Heaven help me. Saunter, don't walk, over to Patties N Tingz! Yes, there's basically no parking nearby, but pull an LA Resident move, turn your hazard lights on, and risk the annoyance of the LAPD circling downtown blocks in order to grab these patties immediately. Oh, and to the fine gentleman working behind the counter with the gorgeous visage and even more charming demeanor: hiiii, and thank you.

Man, I gotta tell you!…read moreI saw this spot featured by In The Kut on YouTube and I was hooked just by how the place looked. It had those old menus that just by looking at it, you KNOW the food is fire! This spot is located in the historic Boyle Heights area of L.A. At first, it was hard to find. It's next to a large BofA building that kind of hides it. Once we parked in the lot behind the building,e stepped out and immediately got a whiff of that grill! I stepped up and ordered the pastrami burger combo (burger, fries, and a drink). I also ordered the onion rings on the side, which I'll describe in a bit. The pastrami was nice and lean- not too fatty. I spread some ranch onto it and my eyes rolled back into my head after that bite! The ranch is thicker than others that I've had. There is also what looked like dill in it. The burger also came with a small side of spicy mayonnaise. It was perfect! Then I saw the onion rings. They are the size of a glazed donut! Just massive! 4 come in an order. That's probably enough. The breading is that smooth one- not the rough panko one. You know that one is going to slap! My whole meal was $24. Not too shabby. Bonus- they were blasting some oldies like Barbara Mason the whole time. You KNOW I'll be back! Shoutout to the young guy (I forgot his name!) working the register. He was really cool and friendly! I can't wait for our next visit!

Ok, maybe I had high hopes for this place, but I'm not I was disappointed either…read more To start off, the young lady behind the window was great. She helped me select a nice choice out of their burger selection. She was polite and very helpful in answering my questions., I picked the avocado bacon burger. Here is where the good and room for improvement could happen. To start the meat was very tasty with a nice bit of char, but a little on the dryer side. The bacon had good flavor as well, but the avocado was barely there. Don't get me wrong this taste like a backyard barbecue burger and I would definitely like to dry their pastrami burger next. Now as for their onion rings, it would be for the fact I took them to go, as they must have steamed in the bag and gotten a bit soggy. The batter was like a bear batter and loved the portions of onion to batter ratio. So minus being a bit soggy and oily, I still liked them. I think the highlight was the ranch dressing. I loved their ranch dressing for sure. Hahaha Now since I didn't stay to dine in, I can only say it was a hot afternoon and there was outdoor seating with some in the shade and some that you would definitely get your tan on. I'd definitely be back, and like to try their other selections.
