    Good stuff. Simple place. No frills. Easy pickup. Quality ingredients. Really well-cooked eggs. Great cilantro crema. The tater tots were a little overpowering, but otherwise a really good breakfast burrito that is definitely worth a try.

    Great spot for breakfast burritos! The Rooster is amazing for anyone who wants a quick grab-and-go. A simple setting with the purpose to deliver delicious food. The menu is very simple and includes seven signature eats. You also have an option for a burger, tacos, and a vegan sandwich. You can substitute how you'd like, but note it will cost extra. I.e. it cost $2 to substitute the bacon for chorizo in the Rico Suave burrito. Parking can be tough but there are some limited parking spots in the back for customers. The service was quick. Very limited seating within the restaurant and no public restrooms.

    I've been training for the LA Marathon and after my Saturday long runs the only thing I want is a killer breakfast burrito. So I have been on the search for the perfect breakfast burrito, and after yesterdays 11 miles, I NEEDED a good one. A friend recommended The Rooster, so my teen and I headed over from Santa Monica. Their breakfast menu is pretty limited--just the burrito and a couple of other breakfast sandwiches--but I think that simplicity is the key to their success. They just do a few things and they do them well! I love the fact that the egg isn't scrambled--I'm pretty sure I saw them crack the egg directly on top of the tortilla and cook it that way, but I was still in my post-run fog and didn't get a picture. However they do it, the yolk (fully cooked) and whites aren't mixed, and I loved it. I hate it when restaurants load up the burrito with potatoes, but they include just the right amount of tater tots to give it that starch and crunch without overpowering the other flavors. And that green sauce it comes with? Divine. My only gripe is that it's a bit of a drive from Santa Monica, and I can't see making this drive every weekend after my long runs. But the burrito is so good that I'm considering it!

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich $15 do just this.

    $15 for one sandwich, the size of my hand. I don't know how this business is going to last here with prices like that. Breakfast is so cheap to make it should not cost this much. This is the impossible breakfast sandwich. If the reason it's expensive because they're buying name brand products maybe they should rethink their ingredients. A vegan sandwich can be extremely cheap to make. I saw the other food on the menu but this sounded the best. So I'm not sure if I would try any other products here they had similar prices.

    Super easy to find. Nice clean little parking lot, easy street parking!

    The breakfast burritos are so delicious! Perfect way to satiety in the morning! Service attentive and efficient! And the inside is super cute, light and airy, clean and spacious!

    Wow!!! Their rico suave burrito is absolutely amazing. I asked for no bacon so there is none in the image (I don't eat bacon). Definitely worth the drive! Service is fast, friendly staff, fresh tasting ingredients. Will be back!! If people ask me for my favorite burrito, this is definitely on the top of my list!

    Wonderful breakfast burrito! Especially love the vegan substitution options. Was filling but not overly greasy like how some breakfast burritos can be. Their sauce and salsa were so professionally packaged!

    It's good, it's worth a stop, staff was friendly and helpful enough. I can understand why The Rooster has been included in "the best" breakfast burritos in LA conversation. The tots are crispy, the avocado is a must for the creamy/fatty/healthy component, the bavon is crispy but doesn't shatter, the cheese is cheesy and the cotija is crumbly salty, I appreciate a little brightness with the cilantro crema, though the fried is a tad over cooked for my taste. All for $12.50 which is actually on the lowish/medium end for hip breakfast burritos. What was weird though and worth mentioning is that it's a cashless business. NBD, I get all the reasons why and it's nothing new, I pay with my credit card for bonus miles anyways. Buuuut, there's a charge for using your credit card... *record scratch sound effect* So I can't use cash and will have to pay extra for using a credit card, so I HAVE to use my debit card. Such an oddity that you have to print out a sign that says it twice in black text on white background AND white text in black background. I can afford the 3% or whatever full in the blank it is that day, but it's such a weird thing to me that you wouldn't just round up on your signature Rico Sauve breakfast burrito to $12.99 instead of $12.50 and nobody would bat an eye ‍ Maybe it's just me... but I still enjoyed the breakfast burrito

    I was really excited to try this breakfast burrito. But honestly it was huge miss. I like the whole setup of the restaurant and the menu sounds great. But when I took the first bites I was missing out on Flavor! The sauces were missing flavor too. No spice at all and hardly any salt. I think they wanted to copy wake and late but definitely not even close. The textures were not on point. And the Flavor was a real disappointment. I genuinely was super excited when I got my food. Try seasoning the eggs and potatoes and crisping up the bacon way more. And add some actual chiles to the salsas. Otherwise this is not a contender for best breakfast burrito.

    This was my first time ordering from the Rooster. I tried their Breakfast Burrito called the Rico Suave. The Burrito was very good however it was very small. I usually only eat half a breakfast burrito in the morning but I was able to finish the whole Burrito easily. I probably wouldn't order from them again as it's not a very good bang for your buck.

    Regular breakfast burrito requested without dairy.  Delicious.

    Excellent breakfast burritos. Very kind service. Appreciative of our patronage. Just opened. Support them. I certainly will. Adorable looking inside too though still settling in.

    I've tried pretty much every breakfast burrito in LA and this is still been my favorite for the past at least 5 years

For whatever reason, I've been craving fried shrimp tacos even though I had never actually tried them before When I crave something, I have to go get it, and these were EXACTLY what I was looking for. The shrimp was super crunchy, the tacos were really good, and the salsa was so good too. I also got a ceviche tostada and was going to take a picture of it for this review...but I'm not gonna lie, I finished it before I even got in the car I hadn't eaten all day, so there was no saving it for a picture. I poured the salsa all over it, squeezed some lemon on top, mixed everything together and ate it with the tostadas they gave me. SO GOOD. The shrimp tacos were $3 each and I ordered 15 It was about $45 before tax and around $49 after tax. Definitely worth it. Great food, great service, and I'll definitely be coming back when the next craving hits. 10/10! No, I did not eat all those 15 tacos it was for me and my family just to let you know lol

A big fan of island -Dominican food although it was overpriced compared to what you Can get it for on the east coast but what ever.. I went back to the counter to ask for hot sauce and the cashier told me it was a 1$ for hot sauce.. I said really? The owner, walked over very politely with a straight face and said we don't eat hot sauce on the island so it's going to cost 1$ What does one have anything to do with the other? I didn't understand her logic. I paused for a second and she said so would u like some hot sauce? It was some bottled generic hot sauce not even house made. I declined to order. The food was pre cooked , set in a steamer. Fast casual restaurant with a few tables Food was bland and subpar.

    Stopped by Karibbean Cuisine after seeing an Instagram review and was looking forward to having…read moresome good Dominican food, especially because it reminded me of my summers spent with family in New York and visiting the DR. When I got on Yelp, I saw mixed reviews, especially comments about a woman being rude or having a bad attitude. Thankfully, we did not have that experience directly. I did briefly see her come out from the kitchen, we caught eyes, and she walked back inside. The ambiance was ok, good music , no customers at the time, but a few tables were dirty. The young man cleaned it right away . To be fair, I don't think the issue is primarily the young man taking the orders. He was kind, apologetic, and seemed to care, but the overall operation felt unorganized. Our order was incorrect three separate times. First, the drink order was wrong, but he fixed it and apologized. Second, we paid extra for mayo ketchup and garlic sauce in small 1 oz containers, but they were not placed on our tray, so we had to get up and ask for them. Again, he apologized. Then, when we received our tray, he let us know they had run out of lettuce and gave us potato beet salad instead, without offering us an option first. We ordered the goat stew plate and the grilled chicken plate, both served in to-go containers. For the plates, you get your protein, then a choice of green salad or potato beet salad, along with either white rice or moro rice, which is rice cooked with beans. We chose the moro rice. I've had Caribbean/Dominican food many times before, and it is usually packed with flavor, so I was honestly surprised that this was bland. This definitely feels like a coaching opportunity for the cook to taste the food throughout the cooking process, because a little seasoning and balance can make a huge difference. The grilled chicken portion was generous, and the plantains were delicious. The guanábana/soursop drink was also delicious, and the tamarindo had good flavor, though it had a lot of pulp/flesh in the cup. That said, the chicken and onion sauce were very bland and needed salt. For the prices being charged, the guest experience should feel more polished. Our total came out to $78 for two plates, two drinks, a small side of beans, and plantains. Pretty costly for what we received. Another thing that stood out was the napkins. When we asked for more, we were only given two additional napkins, which felt very stingy, especially when eating saucy dishes like goat stew. It just didn't feel like the best way to treat guests. As a chef and food safety professional, I also noticed behaviors that need coaching, including apron use when going into the restroom, lack of visible handwashing afterward, and bare-hand contact after scratching the head before touching food containers. These are important food safety habits that should be reinforced immediately. Overall, Karibbean Cuisine has good flavor potential and generous portions, but they need stronger operational structure, better order accuracy, improved guest communication, and tighter food safety practices. At this time, I personally would not come back, but I do wish them all the best in their business. I hope they take this feedback as constructive criticism and apply it in a way that helps the restaurant grow, improve the guest experience, and build long-term guests. If I see changes in the future, I would gladly give them another try. Until then, I truly wish them success.

"Veggies" come down to just cilantro and onions, which they will happily add or remove as you like. My wife had been jonseying for a torta for a while and theirs delivered. The asada taco's steak was tender and not chewy, so she said it hit the spot for her. The pollo was equally tasty and there was a lot of meat in both! :-) The quesatacors are crunchy shelled and the birria was delicious with the cheese inside it, as well. The vampiro was basically a corn tostada with the meat on top (and veggies if you want them but, being allergic to onions, I didn't have any). But the meat, again, was super tender and really enjoyable. I regret not taking pictures when I could, but I'll be happy to add pics of the Birria ramen, burrito and a steak torta (our next order), when I can. ;-)
