This place was SO GOOD. We will be back. We got the California Burrito and Chilaquiles. Genuinely some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had in my life. ADA note: they do have a bathroom but it's tight, through the kitchen, and difficult to get to. Wasn't really safe/ideal for someone with mobility limitations. read more

4.5 stars (visit 03/08/26). Came away feeling full, satisfied and pretty impressed (with minor caveats). PROS: delicious steak omelette, spinach omelette and avocado toast for our party of three. Substantial / generous portions. Tasty. Spotlessly clean, great coffee-shop ambience, good tables with electric outlets available. CONS: pleasant service but a little slow, no check-in during the meal. Although the main dish was hot, the sides (toast / potatoes / tea) were pretty cold - I didn't send them back to be heated since it took a while to be served initially. Indoor and outdoor seating, wifi, bathroom out back via kitchen area (not wheelchair accessible). Small parking lot adjacent (left-side) otherwise sparse street parking. Overall, apart from minor issues, I liked it and will return. read more

Parking: street parking mainly. Thought I saw a lot but couldn't really tell. A lot of locals waking from their place tho. Service: friendly but you tend to have to hunt them down if you want something. Space is a bit on the tighter end. You might have to sit outside. Food: good quality for price. Nothing we got blew my mind or makes me crave it. But a great place for consistent food. Would return when in the area. read more

Good spot for brunch -- not too crowded, service was decent, and food was overall good. I had the avocado toast; they used guacamole on top, which tasted fresh and flavorful. I just wish they used spring mix instead of sliced romaine, but it was still enjoyable. The egg was cooked more like over hard when I was expecting over easy, though. Their home fries were very tasty -- definitely a highlight! Prices are reasonable, and their pico de gallo and guacamole are both very fresh. Parking is a challenge -- only street parking is available, and there aren't many spots since it's on Virgil Ave. Also, I was pretty shocked that they don't have restrooms. read more

Location is at the North end of LA there is a small parking lot and parking stalls out front. Depending on the time and day the parking can be a little challenging. I was heading to a morning doctors appoint and coming in hot, coming from Riverside and wanted a breakfast burrito so as always, I went to Yelp for help! Virgil Café came up for my best breakfast burrito in town! I was able to go online ordering a Famous Breakfast Burrito to go which was very easy to order. It came with eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, salsa and cheese. When I arrived at the restaurant there was parking right in front and I walked up to this storefront business and was warmly greeted and said I was here for a to go order in which I discovered my order was all ready and hot. I saw a few inside seating tables and the ambiance was casual and clean. This burrito lived up to its name the "best"! It was big stuffed full and perfectly balanced between the meat, potatoes and eggs. Some places try to overload the potatoes to cut cost but not here. I highly recommend Virgil Café for your next breakfast burrito, if you want the best and famous! I will be back in LA for a couple of more doctor visits and will definitely pick up a Famous Breakfast Burrito again. read more

Best new breakfast burrito! Honestly delicious overall I've been back a few times now and tried couple of things. Their juices and agua frescas are insanely good and the juice is made to order! The tater tot breakfast burrito is a favorite but the tuna melt and chicken chipotle sandwich are also so good. Love this place I selfishly wish they were open later read more

The food here was wonderful! The service also great, the server was very friendly. I appreciated it extra because I was (sob) not with my sibling. The ambiance also very clean and nice. I'm not sure if they had a bathroom but if they did I couldn't find it and was too cowardly to ask as I was all on my lonesome. Alas alas. I walked here from an LACC parking lot so I'm not sure about the parking here. read more

Virgil Cafe - Carne asada burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

A brilliant NY philosopher once said "Life is not about finding yourself but finding a good food and coffee." - Carl N. :D Virgil Cafe is a modest corner breakfast cafe that offers traditional Mexican cuisine with bold flavors as well American cuisine delights with comforting classics such as burgers, fries and crispy sweet waffles. They are located on Virgil and Melrose ave in Virgil Village in East Hollywood. Its interior and exterior layout design was plain but the culmination of this review doesn't end here. They offer salubrious food and fresh juices on their menu. We came here as first time customers. We perused their menu; I decided to have a Veggie Omelet and a Cubano espresso. I liked the food was fresh and warm which is a perfect match for my espresso drink. Staff were affable, warm and professional. Service was on point. Atmosphere was quite relaxing. Prices were fair. Free rear parking lot and street public parking are available. Collectively, this is a great breakfast cafe spot in this hipster neighborhood. Overall, I enjoyed their food and coffee as well as their service. I will definitely try their juices. read more

This is my second time coming here. I really like their breakfast burritos. I got the red chilaquiles burrito. Not to spicy, but still vsey delicious and big. My friend got the french toast combo, she enjoyed her french toast and everything that came with it. My one complaint is that you have to pay to add meat to the chilaquiles burrito so i might not get that one as often, when i come back even though it was really good! The people working here are nice and welcoming. It wasn't to busy, which was nice cause they answered all our questions and didn't have to feel rushed. There is street parking in front and theres a little parking lot next to the building. They do have a couple of small table you can sit at outside, but it is kind of a busy street so we sat inside. It is a somewhat small space, but plenty of tables. The space isnt really decorated much so not really a place you would go for aesthetic. You are definitely coming for the food as it should be. I can see this place getting way more popular and eventually needing to expand or find a bigger location once it does. Definitely thinking we have found our after work breakfast spot. read more

Food was good and presentation was nice. Service is honestly slow despite not being a lot of customers when dining in. By the time they brought me my smoothie my cousin and I were halfway through our food. We were still waiting on his water that he ordered and assumed it would be brought by shortly and it never came. I tried getting their attention from my table but it was completely missed. The waitress completely missed a drink for my table and didn't even check in once after dropping off some food and one drink while completely missing the other. When told upon paying the response was 'oh ok' not even an apology. Previous times I've come in it's been ok but do be weary of having the staff not check in. The food is definitely better than the service so maybe dining in next time won't be an option for me and take out would be better. read more

The ladies overseeing the cafe are so friendly, welcoming, and welcoming. I had breakfast there and they had some dope coffee. The place was cozy and small, giving off a neighborhood, family owned feeling. Such a down to earth spot for sure! read more

Almost" perfect. Had a chicken pesto sandwich that had great flavor, balance ingredients, and nice soft foccacia bread. The salad also had a nice balance of ingredients. Why not five stars? Could have been just a tad more pesto sauce, and the chicken (although tasty) was a little skimpy on portion size. Otherwise, a nice lunch experience. read more

Lights, camera, action..... cut! As seen on IG, I tried out their famous breakfast burrito. It was plenty and it came with delicious tortillas chips, but I'd it fell short, for me. Somewhat bland needed more cheese and more of a sausage kick. Service was friendly and fast. Phone ordered in and out within 5 mins. Parking I would imagine can be tricky, small lot and street. I arrived early around 730 in the morning. 17 w/o tip. read more

If you're ever going to sqirl and don't want to wait in the long line go across the street and get yourself an even better (and even a bit cheaper) breakfast at Virgil cafe. It's super lowkey (for now) but everything I've had it spot on and much more elevated than you would anticipate from this little cafe. The breakfast burrito has your standard ingredients but it's done absolutely right. I love the whole potatoes inside. Also, the chilaquiles with steak... holy s*** Last but not least I'm also into their espresso brown sugar latte. They also have a bunch of fresh made juices and smoothies that I've yet to try but they're on my list! Great new addition to the area. read more

Everything I've eaten here has been top notch - the burritos, chilaquiles, quesadillas, clearly made with care, always beautifully presented. The juices and coffee-based drinks are also fresh and delicious. I aim on working my way through the whole menu when I saw the table next to me last time get the tortas. SIncere and friendly family run place with a great neighborhood vibe. I really wish you were open on Wednesdays! Not sure why anyone would wait around for Sqirl when Virgil Cafe knocks it out of the park. read more

We came new year day, it was very busy, the food "is just ok, no complex flavors, it took 15 min to get drinks, and 33 min to get our food. We ordered burrito and Mexican omelet, burrito was just filled with potatoes and the chorizo omelet was tasteless, no salt, coffee was old not fresh. I Don't recommend this place. Price was decent but not worth based on food taste" This happened to my party an hour later. Except it took 55 min for food and 40 min for some glasses of water. read more

It felt home like. It was family ran or small mom and pop shop. Everyone was kind and attentive to everything I asked. The food was delicious my veggie omelette was cheesy which I like. The orange juice was natural. This is a great little spot that is special! I wish them all the best and the food is great! read more

Wow, what a not-so-hidden gem! I've lived in the neighborhood for several years now and somehow never noticed this place. Judging by how few reviews there are here so far, I'm guessing it may be new, but I can't remember what this location was before. At any rate, picked up their famous breakfast burrito and a cold brew with sweet cream cheese cold foam. Glad they have a small parking lot. The server who gave us our order greeted us with a warm smile and was very diligent, professional, and friendly, asking us if we needed hot sauce, utensils, ketchup, or mayonnaise. Once we got home and tasted the food, we continued to be blown away. The burrito was scrumptious--clearly made with a lot of intention and love with fresh ingredients. The sweet cream cheese cold foam was amazing (tasted delicious, although admittedly did not taste like the most health-conscious thing to consume!). My partner got the chicken and apple breakfast burrito and a matcha latte with cold foam sprinkled with Biscoff bits. The Biscoff latte looked and tasted great and was super interesting. All in all, plan to come back here a lot to try more of their menu. Highly recommend giving it a shot! read more

So far i have had the breakfast burritos , and so far they have been amazing. I also was recommended one of their biscotti coffees it was really good. The spot use to be the wah's golden hen a Chinese restaurant that was in the neighborhood for years, man i miss that spot and the lady as well. The young lady at this new establishment is always very welcoming and has great suggestions. I suggest the famous breaks fast burrito with green sauce. Enough to share, unless you have a big appetite. The ingredients are solid and the burrito is not all oily so will not make you feel bloated. Cheers hope to hear any suggestion on here for other plates. I will be trying the french toast soon. read more

The food here was AMAZING! My boyfriend and I came for brunch while visiting LA and were blown away. We ordered the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros--both were absolutely delicious. We also tried a beet-orange-carrot juice and a green juice, and loved that they made them fresh right in front of us with real fruits and veggies. On top of that, the ladies working there were so kind and friendly--they even surprised us with free ginger shots! Would 100% recommend this spot. read more
