Omg...I have ordered from here probably 5 times already in the past 2 months from Uber Eats! Just…read moretoday I went in person because they currently have a 20% anniversary special off your order you cannot get online till the end of the month. Cash option is cheaper by a $1 but credit card and Apple Pay is also accepted. I got the usual crispy pork belly and the special. Crispy pork belly (A++) banh mi is the absolute BEST and I mean THE BEST banh mi in ALL of SGV!! I kid you not!! You will not go back to any banh mi after this mouth-watering experience. The Special is also great (A+) and packed with flavor but their signature is the crispy pork belly banh mi. Bread is also made in-house which makes for a spectacular banh mi! Service was prompt and staff were friendly. It's a family owned business with few tables inside and some dessert drinks on the right. Will definitely grab some of those next time! It's clean and well kept with lots of uber drivers going in and out. You know it's a bumpin' place when uber drivers are parked outside waiting to deliver! Plenty of parking to the left with shaded parking far back. Street parking is also available. I have been telling all my friends and family about this place because it's quite the gem! Hope this place expands to other areas while keeping its quality. What are you waiting for!? Get the banh mi that will change your entire perception of how banh mi should taste like!

Packaging is exceptional. Great attention to detail!…read more Trying it out for the first time is wonderful excellent! Trying it out for the second time and third time I i noticed this was a very very fat forward tasting and textured sandwich. Although I've only tried the crispy chicken, chicken, roast pork, and OG dac biet. All were really good... My only qualm would be the OG dac biet had crispy pork in it too. It made it extremely fatty when I'm used to that style being more cold cut and lean although fatty in its own way. Putting the crispy pork in it just threw me off and i realized it just wasn't my style. Then having the crispy pork again made me realize how genuinely fatty it really is and I couldn't wrap my head around eating anymore so I had to dig in and look for the lean parts and extract the fatty parts. Surprisingly it was about 80% fat so for those who love pork belly fat , this is for you! And I know a lot of folks out there love their pork belly extra fatty! Overall I give it 3 and 1/2 Stars mostly for the packaging and attention to detail and for their clean and very quick in and out type of well oiled machine of a business!

Went to Vida Pura and got their breakfast burrito. It's been on my bucket list for a while, and…read moreneedless to say, it was definitely worth it. I'm glad I finally got around to trying it. I loved the avocado and hash brown combination, and the salsa that came with it paired really well, a little kick with it. The portion size was great and definitely filled me up. The service was fast, but seating is pretty limited since it's mainly outdoors. Parking can be a little rough because it's street parking only, and it was pretty full when I came on a Saturday morning. I would definitely come back. I also saw that they make coffee and matcha drinks, and they all looked really good, so I'd definitely come back to try that next time!

Vida Pura is a Latina-owned plant based cafe located in the heart of East LA. It was formerly a…read morevegan food truck and eventually became the current brick-and-mortar cafe. [Parking]: Free small public parking lot directly across from the shop. [Amenities]: This is a really small coffee shop with no indoor tables and only two small outdoor tables. No restroom is available. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are the Breakfast Burrito, Teddy Bear (double espresso, agave, housemade vanilla cold foam, Teddy Grahams), and Banana Nut. All drinks are made with oat milk. Please note that the kitchen closes at 1 PM on Monday - Tuesday and 2 PM on Wednesday- Sunday even though the cafe remains open for another 1 - 2 hours. Come early for anyone wanting to try kitchen items like breakfast burrito or breakfast sandwich. *** Banana nut (double espresso, house made vanilla cold foam, house made banana syrup - medium $7.50): It came with two banana chips. The cold foam was quite underrated and I could taste a hint of banana flavor. The drink wasn't as sweet as I had expected - I liked it. Breakfast burrito (Refried beans, soyrizo, tofu scramble, crispy hashbrowns and sliced avocado wrapped in a flour tortilla - $13.50): Portion wasn't huge, but it also wasn't small enough to finish in one sitting. It had one of the softest texture for breakfast burritos. The soyrizo was very flavorful. It also came with a side of salsa - quite spicy but flavorful at the same time. *** I probably still prefer meat-based breakfast burritos, but their soyrizo breakfast burrito is quite good and the coffee drink is excellent (4.5-star for both items). I would definitely recommend this small coffee shop for a quick grab-and-go.

I got the bombero and the meat by itself would be on the drier side but if you eat it all together with the avocado and bread it balances it out.

It was very good and had good flavor with the pickled vegetables. The meat portion didn't seem as large as I thought as it cost around 7.50 but it didn't seem to be as much as I would expect a that price point. The staff was nice and the wait wasn't too long for the sandwich as this place gets busy. It's a small shop with various other items like dessert and rice dishes as your typical banh mi shop.

The store is tiny probably doesn't have ac, small and difficult to reach the front counter when busy

After thinking about traffic, we decided to finally give Chronis a try. We've heard about this place for a while, so tonight was the night. My girlfriend went with the chili burger, and I ordered the chili dog and chili fries. The chili dog was really good classic, simple comfort food. My only regret was not adding mustard and onions, because I think that would've taken it up another level. Same with the chili fries, next time... Overall, Chronis is a solid 4 stars. Nothing fancy, just fast, satisfying old school comfort food that hits the spot. We'll definitely be back, and next time I'm getting that chili dog with mustard and onions!
