So I went to this sandwich place a few months ago and I was thinking, 'man, this place is really…read morecute with their wall of tinned fish, olive oil, and artisan foods. I just wish they had more T-shirt options because their sandwiches are so freaking good I'd wear their t-shirt' Hey. Guess what. They have more t shirt options now that are bad-ass. Can I say bad-ass? I just realized my entire review is about their merch...This time I got the curry chicken sandwich. I initially got it because curry chicken sandwiches always have a sweet element and most places do raisins or apples. Here, they did peach, and I was like, 'damn. I want to try this.' But when I bit into it, the star of the freaking show was the peppercini!! What!??! That vinegary balance with a tiny kick. Mmmm, yeah. Super good that I ate way too much in one sitting.

Wonderful little spot, feels like a place that is elevated but never pretentious. Really like how…read moreproud it feels to be striving for exactly what it is: a local place that delivers on delicious food. Sandwiches are quite large, big enough to split between 2 people if I'm being honest, but nothing I would complain about. Egg salad was great, never felt heavy despite how large it was, but I also enjoyed the Uptown Club, thickly stacked with each component but felt wholly balanced with whatever was pickled and the tomato. I did find the meatball side to be simultaneously too salty and too sweet, even though you would figure these would cancel out. I did enjoy the looseness of the actual meatball, and the crispy shallots on top were a wonderful addition. Would love to revisit, would be a perfect pit stop for any picnic or lunch occasion.

Perfection.

Still love their beef and chicken empanadas and still personally prefer their chicken. The chimichurri sauce is so good I bought a whole jar this time for $9.99 to bring home and put on everything. Also got the chicken wings but they're kind of tiny and I won't be getting them again. Their Milanesa sandwich is still good as always. Portions are big so a small size is more than enough.

The restaurant itself is pretty small, but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating. The parking lot was large and easy to navigate. We ordered the Bacon & Egg sandwich and the Avo sandwich, and both were delicious and absolutely packed with fluffy eggs. I even ended up dropping some on the table on my first bite! The only downside was that the bacon was a bit overcooked. The buttery, thick brioche bread paired perfectly with the fluffy eggs. We also ordered the fluffy eggs tater tots, which were good, but the eggs on it were a bit much. It became less crunchy. The staff were fast and efficient. Since we arrived 30 mins before closing, they asked us to eat outside so they could clean up before closing.

The consistency of the eggs is runny, watery, slimy. These were clearly powdered eggs, but they were worse than even the powdered eggs I've had at buffets. Took one bite and didn't even go past that. Sorry. Do not recommend. The eggs were really bad.

The last 3 times they've at least attempted to rectify their mistake... meaning we had to make a 2nd trip to pick-up whatever it was they forgot. So we took a break... sad because we always enjoy the food. Foolishly, we decided to try again... and again they messed up our order... this time they didn't put chicken on our pasta. It seems whoever took the order didn't write it down... wish I could say this was a big surprise! So we were fully willing to pay the difference and make the 2nd trip once again. But because it was near closing that was not made an option... just a sorry and goodbye. So now... after 6pm on Sunday, we are thinking of what 2nd meal we will have to purchase and pick up.... because this plain pasta is just not going to feed the 2 of us. We have so few options already in Montebello and we always prefer to support local small businesses.... but REALLY??? How do you consistently get it wrong??? Well I guess quantity is more important than quality... so unfortunately now we have 1 less option.

Saw the reviews and had been recommended to check it out so I finally went. Safe to say I was satisfied. Good amount of food for what you pay. Fresh and tasty. They have some seating area inside. I walked but it seems like they have parking in the back because people were entering through the back door. I ordered the Mombo plate which is a choice of sub and 2 sides. For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.

There's POWER in that sugary flavor, but the donut base tastes flavorful and satisfying. It's a well made donut. (Important: Cash ONLY. Also, this location is primarily a Drive-Thru experience. You can see the displayed donuts as you drive into its hole. There are no tables.) I arrived at The Donut Hole (La Puente) on Sunday (around 3:20PM). Parking is very difficult since it's one long drive-thru area. Although it's possible to find free parking nearby, The Donut Hole (La Puente) is made for a drive-thru experience. It's more special if you drive into the intended path. Staff is professional, welcoming, and friendly. Staff cheerfully helped me, and Staff worked hard. On ambiance, The Donut Hole (La Puente) does feel very unique. Although there's no tables nor interior seating, it's a fun time if you drive through with your car. There's an adorable novelty to this car focused experience. Overall, although the Donut Hole (La Puente) is a little gimmicky and pricey, it's still a fun & lovely time.

Why not drive through a doughnut when you can?
