“Try the Al Pastor Tacos! They are amazing and on top of that they have some bomb as Horchata. This place is my "to go to" late at night when no one can decide what to eat. Everyone is always on board with Los Pepes.“

“The staff here epitomizes East Los Angeles dining expectations. They work well as a team. They're not just polite. They are efficient and friendly.

Parking: Limited n difficult to locate.

Wheelchair accessibility: California standards met.“

“We love Taco Bell, but i decided to try their Pizza Hut portion by getting a cheese pizza combo. I should have just gotten the pizza.... the breadsticks were literal trash. Looks nothing like the photos and was so displeasing, I threw it away. Even my husband didn't like it and we are both huge carb people. The pizza wasn't bad and his cheesy rice and bean burritos were good.“

“always good fast service“

“Delicious !! Enjoyed the East Los atmosphere..😋💞“

“I stopped by this donut place the other morning and it honestly made my day. The moment I walked in, the smell of fresh donuts filled the whole shop. You could tell everything was made fresh because the trays were constantly being restocked.

I ordered a glazed donut and a cup of coffee, and the donut was warm, soft, and perfectly sweet. The glaze had that light crisp on the outside but melted as soon as I took a bite. It paired perfectly with the coffee.

The staff were really friendly too. They greeted everyone who walked in and made the place feel welcoming. It’s one of those simple spots that reminds you how good a fresh donut and good service can be. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m craving something sweet.“

“You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, with that said I love to try a different item on it everytime I get a chance to stop by. Taste and quality are always on point. It's awesome to see the staff having a blast together with great music in the background making the experience feel fun even when there's a wait. Pricing is perfect as the portions are generous and the flavors are like to other. So happy to see this business growing as I look forward to seeing them all over the nation one day. Keep serving it up #TYQ!“

“I've been to many burger spots in my life, but I've never had a burger as good as the Chef Burger from Burger Bun. I'm talking perfectly seasoned beef, and delicious (but not overpowering) burger sauce, crisp vegetables, and the brioche bun is spectacular. There's no burger in Glendale that even comes close. The wings are also some of the best I've ever had and the homemade sauces are so, so tasty. The fries are perfect, and they have amazing milkshakes too. To top it all off, the service is ridiculously good, and the prices are fair. This is my go-to spot in town.“

“Often come to Legacy Burgers when I visit my mom house and stop by Legacy Burgers to get a cheeseburger combo one of my favorite meal. This was my first time try their breakfast selection I was thinking good hearty meal but I was craving a big breakfast burrito. I order a sauage and ham breakfast burrito and couple minutes later it was ready. I notice the burrito was little bit heavy when unwrapped the aluminum foil from the burrito it was hefty burrito. I took a bite great flavors of the ham and sausage including hash brown and also the eggs make this breakfast burrito good.“

“I just read this article in Los Angeles Magazine July 2022 about Lucky Boy !! very cool great place!! A Pasadena Landmark“

“This place was always my go-to for pastrami! But over the period of time, employees has gotten very rude, unlike the old employees when I used to come almost every week. Now all they do is serve their food, nobody there shows customer service anymore!“

“the pulled pork sandwich was amazing! Will return to try other delights“

“Super cool and has a mini museum Be sure to get the deep fried apple pie!!“

“Carl's jr triple famous star ok to eat not unhealthy don't add cheese I added extra onions green chilies with coffee great taste I see other people review. California economy. Newsom. Under staffed true vegetarian people don't go here. Hamburgers are their specialty. The people are not diet nutrition experts. Look at the food to order.“

Guess she wanted ot make sure I was the correct customer even if i was the only one there. What can i say Fast food good service. I'm excited to see how it'll go next time I go.“

Tried something new this time, wanted to try the hot moz but sold out!

So the regular top loaded fries instead, it was great, very well seasoned, very flavorful,

Recommended!“

“My favorite birria in town 🌮🐮 That savory shredded beef recipe is 5 stars. My go-to order is 3 queso tacos, consome with red sauce and lime. I just saw that they started making breakfast so I'll be checking that outt 👀 The two men that are always working hard in there are friendly and quick! I've never waited longer than 5-10 mins for my order ⚡️Thanks fellas you've been making my mornings that much better this past year 🙏“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣“

“Great customer service and terrific food. Love the breakfast burritos.“

“I tried both the Korean burger and the Argentinian burger, and they were both absolutely delicious.
The combination of kimchi, cheese, and egg was especially amazing.
The chimichurri sauce with the juicy patty was also an incredible match. The potato fries are also freshly hand-cut, just like In-N-Out’s, so I highly recommend trying them!
The owner was very kind, and the overall concept is fantastic. I would definitely come back again!“

“Carl’s Jr. exceeded my expectations with its delicious food and clean environment. Patricia, the manager, was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better by ensuring every customer felt welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend going when manager Patricia is working !!

Vegetarian options: lettuce wrap burger“

“I stopped by the Carl’s Jr. right off the 605 freeway in Whittier to grab something small to eat, and I’m so glad I did. Adriana provided amazing service—she was patient even though I took a little long to order, and her friendly, welcoming attitude made a great impression. Her positive energy really stood out. I’ll definitely be coming back! Thank you Adriana“

“I’ve been coming here for years because I literally live a block away. The place has increased in price since I first came here and the menu has changed and what I used to get is no longer on the menu. LION KING ROLL is my goto. It’s delicious. However….. Today as I approached the counter to get my food, a homeless girl walks in barges right next to me as my order is being processed and given to me, and asks “y’all got any miso soup?!?” Stinky and obviously covered in filth, no bath for probably years and a dirty soiled blanket wrapped around her, I was instantaneously disgusted. Miso soup was given to her and I don’t know what else because I got outta there before she could even ask me for money or whatever! You feed a pigeon and what happens??? A dozen or more come. This is a simile; a point I’m trying to make. Homeless are the root of the problems here in Koreatown. You feeding them is the hand the feeds the problem.“

“Great tasting Indonesian food. Really authentic.“

“Alimentos sabrosos y atención rápida“

“I've come to this location so many times over the years and it's always been consistently good. I usually just use the drive thru but the service is always fast. Ambiance in this area is ok, due to the PCC being nearby and it helping the area be good. The food itself is always fantastic. The Big Carl is like a Big Mac, but better (and I am a huge Big Mac enthusiast). The limited-edition churro milkshake is fantastic btw, please give it a try if it's still available by the time you read this.“

“Very Clean and the staff are all very respectful.“

“The food was wonderful and the service was ok, but I love it anyways and I recommend going here“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“First time trying this place out as it was only 6 mins away from my grandma’s home. Authentic filipino food right here! Pork bbq was so soft and actually had “taba” in it also I tried their dinakdakan and I really felt that I was transported back to the Philippines. That’s how good it tasted!“

“The chicken was freshly prepared with a light, crispy batter. I must admit I would've liked a bit more seasoning on it. My husband wished that there would've been an onion and pickle option for his sandwich, but the hot sauce helped. The place was very clean and well stocked... including the bathroom🎉. My server was kind and helpful... which I needed since I'd never been there.“

“Famous star tonight was "Bustin"“

“No matter who is the cashier, the service is always excellent. And it's not just me, I see how they are with other customers. I always get the chicken burrito because I just love burritos.“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“My idiot placed the order at the wrong restaurant because the app didn't update my location. I tried calling in but the store didn't pick up. Long story short, I went to the location the next day and the manager and staff was helpful and re-made my order. They were very helpful.“

“This is absolutely my favorite spot to get together for a delicious meal! The food is consistently amazing, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home with their warm, smiling welcomes. Huge shoutout to Erika for the stellar service—she truly makes every visit special. Highly recommend.“

“Just had the sunrise breakfast sandwiches & coffee for 6.99 for the 10th time - melted cheese, good amount of egg, perfect crisp & amazing price. It hit the spot so well this time I had to leave them a review. Thanks Ernie’s for making real food and letting me avoid McDonald’s 🤣 PS Call ahead your order for quick in and out“

“all food is good but my favorite is pastrami and fried cikini“

“This place is hands down the best! I come here often, and my go-to order is the Nacho Fries, Nacho Chips, Quesadilla, and Tacos. Every single item is consistently delicious and packed with flavor.

The Nacho Fries are perfectly crispy and the Quesadilla is always cheesy and satisfying. If you’re looking for authentic and tasty food, this is the spot! I’m a loyal customer and will keep coming back for more. Highly recommended!“
