    Burrito menu July 2025
    Peter X.

    I stopped by Castillo this morning to get a breakfast burrito. I was in the area after visiting Costco and this place was the closest to me. I found parking just fine in the small plaza this place is located in so it will be a hit or miss when you come. I asked what was in the breakfast burrito and just asked for no beans. It didn't take them long to make it and I took it home. The breakfast burrito comes with chips, salsa and red sauce. The customer service was fine when I was here, they handed my order to me when it was ready. I thought the breakfast burrito was very greasy and started dripping when I took the first bite. It also kept dripping while I was eating it so I think all the grease was building up. The chips were stale, so I only ate like 1 piece and I didn't like the red sauce. The pico de gallo was good though.

    Menudo has no hominy.

    I don't like leaving negative reviews but I am very disappointed this morning with our food from Castillo, it was our first time trying this restaurant too. It was a to-go order so our disappointment initially was when we got home and found NO hominy in the menudo, would have been good to know that's how they make it, then the broth was bland too, not much flavor. We ordered the salsa verde plate too and I think it was just ok, not impressed. The other thing to top it off was that it was overpriced, we wouldn't mind having paid $41 (2 sodas included) for this if the food was actually good. I give it two stars because the service is friendly and the restaurant looks clean.

    Came here for breakfast. I went with the huevos rancheros. Let me say this they weren't what I expected. Im use to the hard fried tortilla but, the food was great. The rice and beans taste good. The sauce for the eggs taste good also. Came on a Sunday morning it was not busy which I liked. Their cashier and cook were friendly pretty welcoming.

    El mejor servicio y platos. Siempre están atentos con uno y con que más ellos pueden hacer por uno, lo tratan como familia :). No dejara de venir!!! Pruébalos y da tu el review. I love this place it great if you haven't try them you need to come the food and the service is amazing!!!

    Was in the area and craving machaca. So glad I found this place on Yelp. It was early in the day so not crowded. It's a small place, nothing fancy, and pretty hidden. Friendly service, accommodating, and quick. Ordered a machaca plate, an asada burrito, and horchata. Free chips and salsa when dining in. The spicy salsa was so dang good and made my scalp sweat! Everything was so delicious, including the rice and beans. The ratio of meat to rice in the burrito was on point. Will definitely be back!

The cafe is 2 floors with lots of seating, both upstairs and downstairs. Definitely a great spot to study, get some work done, or catch up with friends. I ordered the Matcha Earl Grey Latte and the Popcorn Chicken. My drink came out pretty fast, while the popcorn chicken took around 10 minutes. I loved the latte! The earl grey flavor was strong, so it was definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken was definitely different from the Taiwanese-style popcorn chicken I was expecting. The texture was more like mini chicken tenders or nuggets than the usual crispy, popcorn chicken. The chicken itself was juicy and had less breading. Not bad at all, just different from what I expected. Pricing is also not bad, especially for the portions. I parked in the back lot, but there's also free street parking. Overall, I really liked the space and would definitely come back to try more of their drinks!

Do not order their seasonal drink item Passionfruit mint lemonade, no lemon juice, no mint Nothing citrusy, not even passion fruit purée, really disappointed. Check customer uploaded pics before you order the drinks Please! Dont fall for their Instagram images. Doesn't match the actual drink ordered. Not coming back Many new cafe options in the valley

The servers and all staff I encountered were truly friendly, not just repeating prepared pleasantries. Just a wonderful place. Also good prices and refills!

    Today I went back to my local stereo shop on Reseda Blvd for a repair to my stereo…read more When I visited this same stereo shop six months ago, I decided to visit the coffee shop across the street for some food while I waited for my repair. On that visit, I met Joyce the owner, and she happily served me my meal that day, and I had an exceptional experience. I left Joyce's coffee shop a very satisfied five star review later that day. The last time I came, Joyce was not present again (she works weekends). Today I tried to visit Joyce again, but forgot she works weekends--but today I met Ms. Faith. Faith's customer service was above and beyond. The warmth. The friendliness. The pride in her work and her role in the Joyce's Coffee Shop family. The joy. The most charming smile and energy. The enthusiasm. The work ethic. I wanted Faith to join me for my meal, but she never stopped working, and she had no break planned. Faith is actually a former bartender with many years of experience. She made millions of dollars in tips over the years, because all the drunks would fall in love and hand their wallets over to Faith. She was great at what she did. Patrons would go to her bar, sit down, and blackout just because they were there to chat with Faith for as long as possible. Of course they couldn't just sit there--so they'd just order drink after drink. And drink. And tip. And then ATM. And then more drinks with Faith. Tips tips tips. Faith made millions as a bartender (that's how she bought her Bentley coupe). As a bartender, she even got a 3 wedding proposals, and 4 "modeling" offers . And Faith LEFT the money and the fame--once she discovered Joyce's Coffee Shop. Faith knew she wanted to be in that warm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere--as often as possible. Faith applied for work at Joyce's, then followed-up daily with Joyce's for 2 weeks--and ultimately earned herself a spot on Team JCS. The food was 5-stars--as always. It's as goods as eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes and hot coffee get. The environment was another 5-stars--always clean, always welcoming and always playing carefully curated playlists of yesterday's biggest hits. Joyce's Coffee Shop has been in business since 1955, and they've done such a great job of not only preserving the original dining room setup and upholstery, but also the original owner's commitment and dedication to great food in a welcoming environment--produced and served by the best customer service. And sitting in Joyce's Coffee Shop is like sitting in a blast from the past. It's classic. It's retro. It's vintage. It's well-preserved. Joyce's Coffee Shop is part of San Fernando Valley history. It's kinda like a Valley historical landmark. It's definitely a San Fernando Valley treasure. It's on its 4th owner, and it was never sold to a new owner that wasn't fully committed to the original owner's original mission. The diner mission of "as good as it gets," and "keeping it that way"--I love that. All staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Even the customers are warm, friendly and welcoming--they all seem to know exactly where they are, and thats why they are there. Have you ever watched the classic TV show "Cheers"? That show about a bar where everybody knows your name? Just like that TV bar, Joyce's gives that "local feel"--the best feel. You'll never get that at Denny's, IHOP or Norms. I live in Woodland Hills so I'm rarely in Northridge, but if I am around in the AM or lunchtime -- I hope to visit again. Food -- 5 stars (I'm still stuffed) Environment -- 5 Stars (clean & cool) Service -- 5 [hearts on fire emoji] 5 stars -- (only because I can't give 6) PS: I forgot to mention that Mrs. Joyce's husband Mr. Joyce is the head chef at JCS. I forgot to mention this because I have yet to meet Mr. Joyce--but I guess Mr. Joyce's reputation will precede him in my case, (that's if I ever even get a chance to meet Mr. Joyce). Not only is Mr. Joyce the head chef, he's there 7 days a week, making somebody's love-made food. And for anyone that could not connect these dots: he doesn't work 7 days a week because he has to. Mr. Joyce works 7 days a week because there's nothing he would rather be doing, than preparing someone's great food with total care, at a business that's known for customers leaving with huge smiles for many decades. Nothing makes Mr. Joyce happier than ensuring everything coming out of JCS is "5 Star Quality"--as good as it could possibly get. He does it because the San Fernando Valley is lucky to have Joyce's Coffee Shop. 5 STARS.

All the condiments, Russian dressing, ranch come in prepackaged little containers. Ranch tasted fresh and homemade. I used a little of the Russian dressing. Is that a Brent's thing? $22 + $3 for French fries. I wanted a little sweet and got the blueberry cheesecake. That was the best cheesecake ever. Actual blueberries inside the cheesecake.

Helpful in our decision making. Ricardo cracked me up because he brought a small soup container for my friend's cabbage soup. She was a little perturbed it was too small. Ricardo insisted it would fit and it did PERFECTLY.

When you're tired of the breakfast burrito game, Egg Tuck is the easy go-to that reminds you breakfast can be simple, elegant, and incredibly satisfying all at once. The Avo Egg sandwich is a must. Pillow soft scrambled eggs piled high on a soft brioche-style dark bread with fresh avocado and a delicious house sauce topped with chives. The bread was slightly on the darker side but it didn't detract from the overall experience one bit -- every bite was rich, creamy, and satisfying. These are genuinely some of the best eggs in the city and at around $11 for the sandwich it's a fair price for the quality you're getting. Don't skip the tater tots. Crispy, hot, and perfectly cooked -- the small comes in at just $2.50 and the large is $5.29, making them one of the better value sides you'll find anywhere. They pair perfectly with the sandwich. The space is clean, bright, and welcoming with good customer service to match. Parking is easy too -- there's a parking lot below and free street parking available nearby, which in the Valley is always a bonus. Egg Tuck is the kind of place you find yourself thinking about on a Tuesday morning when you wish you were there. If you're in the Valley and serious about breakfast, this is a non-negotiable stop.
