I am a regular, Saturday-morning LA walker, and one of my recent jaunts took me to the Mid-Wilshire area. I had heard about the soft opening of The Rooster and I wanted to see for myself what all the crowing was about. Being one of those who believes burritos to be the ultimate foodstuff, I was delighted to see that the first item on that little menu was the "Rico Sauve," which turned out to be Rooster code for the DOPEST (all caps) of all breakfast burritos. Being a vegetarian, I asked if I might have my "Rico Suave" sans bacon. "No problem: everything is made to order." It arrived, shortly thereafter, all snug in its perfect tortilla, almost too hot to pick up. As soon as I took a bite, I wanted to repeat the experience, but I paused a moment to savor and to investigate. Everything was there and accounted for: the tator tots, the avocado, the cheddar and Cotija cheeses, the cilantro sauce, and, most spectacularly, the eggs, which had not been scrambled but instead lightly hard boiled so as to preserve the beautiful orange yokes. I can only imagine how good the bacon would have been. I will probably be the neighborhood again on Monday, having some business nearby, at which point I will be faced with that happy challenge that inevitably follows whenever I pick well from the menu of a thoughtful kitchen on my very first visit: do I relive the experience or move on and see what else The Rooster can do to make my morning walk brighter? read more

$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. read more

The Rooster - Vegan Breakfast Sandwich $15 do just this. - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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. read more

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! read more

The Rooster - Regular breakfast burrito requested without dairy. Delicious. - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What a great breakfast spot! Stopped here to grab a burrito with a friend. We noticed this restaurant on Yelp and had to give it a try. Parking can be kinda tricky but thankfully we were able to find a spot with no issue. Service was great and quick! My friend ordered the breakfast burrito while I ordered the breakfast sandwich. Both were delicious and hearty. The restaurant has a lot of room for people to sit and enjoy their delicious food. I will definitely be back! read more

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! read more

The Rooster - Rico Suave - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

The Rooster - Rico Suave - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I just had my friend order me a bodega as we were so busy in the office with meetings I could not order for myself..and when it arrived I was so anxious to take that first bite, my boyfriend used to pick these up for me on the weekends back at the Pico and Robertson location but I was really craving one this morning...However, the sauce is very evidently Tapatio not their famous kill sauce that I'm used to. They really should not do that without a warning to customers... what if someone was allergic to any ingredients in tapatio? Crazy. read more

4++ I went to their brick and mortar on pico. This place used to just be a food truck (I think) and I've always wanted to visit because I do love breakfast burritos, which they specialize in. I think they have some other menu items, but my eyes were fixated on just a burritos, haha. The people here were friendly. Not a big operation. I walked in and there was a really chill vibe in there and they were able to take my order right away. It was also also later in the day and they were closing up within the next hour. I'm happy to say that the breakfast burrito was very delicious. I liked how it came with all the sauces as well in the to go bag. If you're a fan of breakfast burritos, this definitely should be on your rotation. read more

Great spot for a takeout breakfast sandwich or burrito. There's not much to the interior and the customer service is somewhat lacking, but they're serving up food FAST on that griddle. I very much prefer a burrito with lots of hash browns in it over eggs, so this one is right up my alley. I'm also not a huge BLT girlie but these are great, with buttered toasty bread, lots of B, and not too much LT. read more

The Rooster - Rico Suave - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place used to be great but the last couple times I've gotten the Rico Suave, the hash browns and bacon were not crispy at all. Kind of kills the burrito! Still good flavors and the cilantro sauce is solid, but quality has gone downhill unfortunately! Just looking at how sad the bacon is you can tell it is either low quality and/or batch made in the early morning and not even fresh by 10 am. Try Cofax for a better burrito, Wake and Late or Great White. Rooster is no longer in my top 3 unfortunately. read more

Simple menu can sometimes be all you need. The burrito is legit and you can't go wrong with tater tots in the burrito. The eating area is small but simple. Like the vibe. Not in the area often but would come back. But if you need to use the restroom, go before because they don't have one. read more

The Rooster - Rico Suave - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Rico Suave is an attractive burrito with a lovely, translucent skin. It looks great. Because the sauces come on the side, I took a bite of it plain. It was pretty, well, plain. I started wondering if all breakfast burritos would be plain tasting without sauce. Hmmm. I really liked the green sauce and the salsa when I added them. They really helped and made the burrito better. But wow, this burrito goes fast. If it had no tater tots, there really would be nothing to this burrito. I'm guessing these don't use large eggs. I could be wrong but it seems like 2 medium eggs... and that's just not enough protein, in my humble opinion. I probably won't be running back. Damn! read more

Sitting here waiting for my order and I haven't even taken a bite so this is not based on food. The person working the register is one of the rudest people I've encountered in a good establishment like this. No greetings, barely could hear her so I kept having to ask her to repeat herself because the music is SO loud in the place. And she had such attitude when I asked her what she said. Then I said sorry I can't hear you the music is loud and her response was "oh". So yeah place your order online and stop in quick because how dare you inconvenience them with having to take an order from an actual human. I left no tip which is highly unusual because she was that rude. The dude that was cooking seemed nice and alerted me when my order was ready. read more

The Rooster - Bacon Bfast Ritto - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They've got breakfast burritos (Rico Suave) and breakfast sandwiches (Bodega) and that's it. Yes, they have a few drinks, but as for food, it's a pretty easy menu to memorize. Rico Suave or Bodega. The burritos are legit. They're not huge but they are crammed full of goodness and there is no wasted space. For a medium-sized burrito, it's a belly-bomb. It's got eggs, cheese, tots, avocado, and bacon. They gave me two types of very good sause on the side (red salsa and cilantro crema). The Bodega is also very good. It's bacon, eggs, cheddar cheese, and hot sauce on an excellent ciabatta roll. I preferred the burrito to the sandwich but they are both very good. They've got a few seats inside but nearly everyone gets takeout. Their online orders are insane. And nearly everyone gets the burrito. Lots of street parking which was plentiful on a Sunday morning. Maybe not as great as some of the other breakfast burritos in town but still very, very good. read more

We're back baby! I really, really really, really hope that is for good this time ! After waiting for some time, and then giving it another shot, twice now, the breakfast experience was really great! The bacon is still paper thin but at least it's no longer a filling with strips of fat, but actual thinly sliced meaty bacon. Maybe I was lucky enough not to run into a chef who doesn't know how to make them, but both times their famous burritos were tasty, still greasy but satisfying. There is one young guy who works there, whose Rico Suaves are a work of art, every time. I also like that plastic squeezy packets with salsa are gone. The regular plastic cups are so much better and convenient. Thank you management! Keep it up. I hope the quality will remain or will continue to improve further! read more

The Rico Suave (w/ no bacon) is really good, but the sauces do not live up to the hype at all. The green sauce is a dill-ranch, while the red is comparable to a mashed chipotle mild. If either of those sound appealing to you, then you'll love absolutely love their food. For me, however, the sauces just weren't it and the burrito was rather dry on its own. Maybe I just got unlucky, but the service was absolutely mid. Food: 4 Stars Everything Else: 2 Stars read more

Stopped in unplanned on our way to work. Ordered the Rico Suave burrito and it was delicious. It has all the components of a breakfast burrito without being greasy or too heavy. The sauces on the side were pretty bomb too. The staff were friendly, and I didn't have to wait long for the 3 burritos which I appreciated a lot since I was in a bit of a hurry. The place was decorated minimally but intentionally and was very clean. Would highly recommend this place to satisfy your breakfast burrito cravings! read more

The Rooster - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wow... a previous review talking about the lack of quality in their bacon wasn't kidding...I think I've had bacon thicker than this at McDonalds... Flavorwise, it was a bit bland. The red salsa was my favorite of the 2 but needed a bit of heat to take it to the next level. I preferred the chicken chorizo (+$1) over the bacon and the addition of grilled onions (+$1), caramelized beautifully, added a lot of flavor and would be my preferred way to eat one of their burritos. Would I come back? With the lack of parking and hectic street, it's a hard pass. read more

Really disappointed because there were barely any eggs and the salsa they gave was pre packaged. No sour cream was given when my burrito should've. Came with it. Barely any avocado.

The Rooster - The Rico Suave... 10/10. One of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had! - Food Trucks Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I'm giving it 4 stars simply because the burrito itself seemed to be made with good quality ingredients and well made (fresh avocado, bacon crisped nicely, etc). However, based on overall eating enjoyment - it's a 3. Flavor is super mid. I had the much hyped Rico Suave breakfast burrito and it was truly, genuinely, rather bland. Yes, the tots were crispy - but that is no saving Grace. Overall, it was lacking. I even think their coveted green sauce is meh. I'll come here again and try their other items, but for a breakfast burrito I recommend going elsewhere. read more

Just an average breakfast burrito spot. I came to this place with high expectations, knowing the competition of LA breakfast burritos. In conclusion, it was decent. I got the Rico Suave burrito, the classic. The tots were very crispy, but everything else about the burrito was just okay. The way the burrito was laid out was very segmented. I never got a well combined bite. In addition, the cheese was a slice of American cheese that was not melted, but hard and chalky. Advice to the chefs and owners: Adding the cheese while the burrito is still on the grill would help glue the burrito better. Also, don't be shy with your seasoning! Lastly, toasting or grilling the tortilla in the end would add to the texture. Other than that, a decent breakfast burrito! read more
