50 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Los Angeles

“I have mixed feelings of calling this place overpriced, but I think it is overpriced.

Because if you only get a bowl of rice and one single dish, you can maybe walk out with spending only $10-15 for a meal, which is decent. But if you start even thinking about trying a few more dishes out you are easily going to spend $20 or even $30 for robot-made Chinese food (The food is, in fact, very good.)

But I feel the financial benefit of reducing labor cost by partially replacing human labor with machines, is not brought down to the consumers as much. At least that’s how I felt after paying $30 for a rice bowl and three small side dishes.

Oh, they do give you sturdy plastic cutlery and a nice bag if you decide to take your food home!“

“Great food first time being there!“

“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.“

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

“Always delicious and been since my childhood!!!“

“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 🙏“

“Animal style burgers !!!!!“

“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’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.“

“I absolutely love Toni Khachapuri! I’ve eaten here many times — it’s always delicious, fast, and super affordable. The khachapuri are just incredible, truly comfort food at its best. Perfect spot for a quick bite or a filling meal. My only small suggestion: please consider replacing the adjika — it slightly takes away from the overall experience. But other than that, everything is amazing. I keep coming back! ❤️“

“I la la la loooove Tommy's!“

“The Service: Service is very efficient. Freshly made to order. Order at the counter & the staff even hand delivered the food to all customers' tables (either dine-in or take out), super nice! The Food: Hot & Spicy burger: I "upgraded" my burger, adding some avocado & bacon! OMG! Love the sauce & the jalapeño in my burger. Onion Ring: Great batter, super crispy! Strawberry Milkshake: Very creamy and not overly sweet! Just the way I like it~ Wings: The staff highly recommended me to try their wings. Sweet & Spicy flavor! Perfect combination~ I didn't know they have breakfast menu too? I got to come back & try out their breakfast soon~ They open at 8am. Perfect to grab freshly made breakfast before work! The Parking: Street metered parking. Side streets are residential area (parking free).“

“Great food, good service, super friendly“

“Yummy food. Always our stops all the way from Chicago“

“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!“

“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!“

“Anytime you wanna eat and you in Cali go here“

“We had a burrito recommended by the chef and the Birria plate. Both delicious and service was very quick and friendly. Nowhere to sit in the immediate area which isn’t their fault of course. We sat across the street at the shaded bus station and managed just fine :)“

“The place was clean but the staff was a bit rude when I tried to thank them for the food. I got a boba drink, the drink was good but the boba was kind of mushy. The corn dogs looked good though. For sure stick to corn dogs here though. But nice area.“

“Healthy Choices on a Budget. That Trap Kitchen Curry Chicken 💣💣💣💣“

“Das beste Sandwich was ich in den USA gegessen hab! Nette ,schnelle Bedienung, frische Zutaten und trotzdem schnell zubereitet. Die Produkte sind geschmackliche nicht dieser gewohnte Einheitsbrei. Frisch gepresster Orangensaft und viele regionale Produkte.“

“This store in eagle rock makes me feels like I’m back in the Philippines. The crew are friendly and nice. They go through with your order. The food is the same taste back in the Philippines. I prefer this location than anywhere else not just in California but in the entire USA. Please support this store!“

“I worked t Pioneer Chicken #1 on Echo Park as a cook, prep, and last as a manager for 13 years . I never got tired of eating Pioneer Chicken. I always go to Soto and Whittier location“

“I would of never thought that the most random Carlos Jr would have the best customer service I've ever got. Davian was extremely polite and patient with me when I was a bit confused with their promotions. I hope this Carlos Jr keeps him because you will have customers who appreciate someone like Davian.“

“we were recommend and we really love the food, my hubby and friends from Australia Really love the food“

“They have good food. And great breakfast burritos“

“Good food. Awesome taste“

“Heard about Nashfin from an article on Heyla and I’m so glad I did. Their food brings heat and flavor like no one else. You can’t leave without trying their signature fish — it’s next-level good.“

“I love their food, especially the chili cheese dogs and fries! I highly recommend them if you're craving hot dogs and fries!“

“everything is fresh and tasty“

“it have the best services ever“

“Guy was busy behind the counter do to go order so it took a bit to get acknowledge but once I had his attention he was a pleasure. I was sort of lost in the area and a lady on the corner selling flowers directed me to come eat here. Took her advice and the food was amazing. Great quality. Had chicken teriyaki with rice.“

“I have to give it up for this Weinerschnitzel on Crenshaw. Their Chilli dogs are amazing and the chili is always hot and taste Delicious! 😋. I'm from out of town but during the Taste of Soul I always make this place one of my stops. Weinerschnitzel on Crenshaw in LA gets👍👍“

“Great for bringing the family together around a real roast chicken with light and crispy fries, stop and enjoy, you will not be disappointed, well done to the smiling and fast team, very clean, perfect establishment

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Super practical“

“bomb spot pull up you'll love the rewards program awesome my g“

“Always great food the best machaca burrito, I've had.“

“There are probably a dozen taco stands in my area, I'm picky and this one is by far my favorite! The people are incredibly friendly and the food is amazing! I always get either that Al Pastor Burrito with cheese or the Burria Burrito with cheese and I ask them to toast the outside of the tortilla. The green avocado salsa is delicious and not spicy at all. They do have several spicy salsas if you're interested. I can't recommend this place more. I have also seen them at an event so if you need to cator an event give them a call.“

“The food here is always so fresh and taste so good. The chicken milanesa was perfect! Just the right amount of breading and so flavorful, one of the best milanesas I’ve had. They also give you large portions of chicken. You get your bang for your buck. The carnitas tacos were also flavorful, double tortilla, and they add plenty of meat. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Riquísimos rapados los mejores !!!! Son nuestros favoritos mmm“

“the people that work there are very polite and I love there sopes my favorite but in all honesty I give them 100%. ....thank you“
