We ordered at the cashier and were given a number for dine-in. We ordered the Mayan Breakfast and Chicken Soup. The Mayan Breakfast was a generous portion with plantains, black beans, two tamales, a chunk of cheese, two eggs, and a serving of bread. The chicken soup was flavorful in large bowl and came with a plate of chicken breast with rice and tortillas. The rice and chicken were a bit under seasoned for me. We also ordered the strawberry hibiscus tea to drink which was excellent. Prices were also fair, $10-$20 range per dish. Overall, a very enjoyable experience for Guatemalan food!

It was a quiet day for a Saturday morning, there weren't many customers yet. Unfortunately, our order was overlooked and it took checking in with the staff to start its preparation. They looked puzzled at first but eventually figured it out. The Esquite Toast was OK. The bread was overly toasted. The Breakfast Burrito was OK. It filled us up. The Iced Vanilla Latte tasted too milky, could hardly taste the espresso. The hibiscus lemonade was OK. When our order arrived, a staff member was apologetic and offered a baked good on the house. We weren't able to redeem the offer given the long line that grew after our meal. Not the best first impression but maybe they were having an off day?

They have a website, QR code, and you can pay by credit card when you want to order. No need to buy a huge portion just to get a to-go box. It's just enough good food. Good vibes, good service, and especially good home-cooked food, good prices, and good portions.

The kitchen is operated and co-owned by wife Gina Garcia Gancedo (who worked as the pastry chef at Nickel Diner) and husband Jason Gancedo (who worked as the executive chef at Cole's). [Parking]: Residential street parking only and I didn't have an issue finding an available spot on Sunday. [Ambiance]: The backyard has been turned into a makeshift outdoor patio dining area. There is a bathroom available for use inside the house. There is also a small bookshelf at the entrance with free books for kids or adults to read. [Ordering]: Our party walked in, found an available table, scanned a QR code on the table to view the menu (no app required), and placed an order. The kitchen offers complimentary beverages like orange juice, coffee, soda, and water (donations are appreciated but not required). Customers can pick from an assortment of mugs to fill with black coffee or orange juice. They also accept takeout orders via their website. [Menu]: The top two items to get are the Breakfast Burrito (Simple, Chipotle Bacon, Sausage, Andouille Sausage, Triple Pork, Chorizo, Chile Verde, and Sunrise Veggie) and the Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich (#1 best seller). *** Triple Pork Breakfast Burrito (a warm flour tortilla filled with three fluffy scrambled eggs, chipotle bacon, homemade pork sausage, andouille sausage, handcrafted triple-cooked fries, and sharp cheddar cheese. Served with a side of salsa de molcajete - $13.25): This breakfast burrito had no potatoes and had French fries instead. It was a melty burrito and tasted excellent. The homemade salsa was just right with the right amount of heat and not overly vinegary. Biscuit & Miso-Honey Butter (Gina's fresh-baked buttermilk biscuit, moist and fluffy, paired with whipped miso-honey butter - $2.50): A very delicious biscuit and not overly sweet. *** Gina's experience as a pastry chef combined with Jason's experience as an executive chef = a 5-star combo. It was one of the most unique brunch experiences I have had in a long time and it was also one of the best breakfast burritos I have had in LA County.

And it was nice to see them get the meat from the window and assemble the meal fresh. Tacos and gyro's already pretty close cousins so this fusion works. Had the beef shawarma pita burrito and a taco which was delicious. It's not just them taking Mediterranean food and serving it in burrito form. The main fusion is in the sauce since they managed to figure out a new combination of hummus and salsa along with pickled vegetables that blend spices from both cultures. The food is definitely unique.

I came here during their soft opening, I came back after they retooled their menu a little bit and then again just recently. Initially they were just serving bread, muffins and cookies. Then they added miniature pot pies and changed up the selection and decor a little bit. Recently they added sandwiches. The people working here all seem very nice and I hate to say that I'm just not a huge fan of their offerings. I've tried several breads, a sandwich, a cookie and a muffin and all of them left me unimpressed. All of the "sweet treats" tasted like multigrain health food items and not enough of a treat. The sandwich bread was the best, but overall it wasn't amazing and I just don't see myself choosing to eat here again when there are so many amazing options right here.

The last time I was over here was when it was a kbbq taco spot back in the day. We arrived a bit after 1pm and the small parking lot was full, much easier to find street parking. Especially since a lot of people mentioned in their reviews a lot of take out orders. We sat in their outdoor patio area and recently it's been windy so be sure to bring a light jacket or sweater. The food took a while, but it came out hot and fresh. The owner said hi and asked if we needed anything which was a pleasant surprise. She was super welcoming! The food was delish. My friend ordered the albóndigas special she saw on social media over the weekend - so it's not always available. I got the Egyptian nachos which was beautifully played with a jalapeño cilantro hummus, chips decoratively fanned out and nice pops of color from the pickled red onions and sliced cucumbers. I am sooo full and didn't even finish my food. Gonna put the extra meat in a tortilla at home! I would recommend and will try to make it out again soon.

I went for the burrito with tahini and galbi chicken, and while it was good, I'll admit I probably went a little overboard with the fusion combinations . What really stands out is how everything feels cooked to order and made from scratch -- fresh, intentional, and clearly crafted with care. The frescas were really refreshing as well. Prices are on the higher side, but that's just the reality of the times, and the quality shows. Overall, Tirzah's is an exciting addition to the neighborhood, and I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing what they do next.
