    Meet my friends here for lunch. Parked in the neighborhood, the parking lot is extra small and people will block you in. I got a coffee but didn't see any sweetness available. The queso dip and chips were really good. I tried the ground beef taco, good flavor. The chairs were not comfortable (either wood or metal, no cushion at all). The staff members were very nice.

    Homestate has been on my list for a long time and as a long time enjoyer and lover of breakfast tacos, I was really looking forward to it! There are lots of flavors to enjoy and it was hit or miss--some of the tacos were outstanding and others fell flat. The potatoes were dry and not sure if we got the end of a batch. The tacos also got cold very quickly--perhaps they are optimized for to go orders and reheating later. My sense is that homestate has a lot of potential and some great ideas but is still working out the kinks. The seating was ample and the vibes inside were nice!

    Homestate I love you but PLEASE bring back the old sauce (squeeze) bottles. These glass ones are awful. When you try to get the salsa out, only liquid pours onto the tacos and you don't actually get any of the salsa goodness until you wack the bottle SO hard and then it comes FLOODING out. I ate my tacos sans salsa because I couldn't even get it to come out of the bottle. What a bummer because their salsa is delicious! I got my usual brisket breakfast taco and it was just sopping wet. I don't recall it ever coming out that juicy. It was delicious, but super soggy. I also ordered my tacos on the corn tortillas which were good, but their flour tortillas are definitely the star. One soggy taco isn't going to deter me from coming back, I do love the food here. Just wanted to provide feedback on those sauce bottles! Love, A salsa girlie

    If you're craving breakfast food but want it served quicker than a typical breakfast spot HomeState is perfect. They specialize in breakfast tacos. I ordered a mushroom quesadilla and egg and potato taco. The service was quick. The waiter cleaned my table for me without me having to ask. I like the large patio because sometimes it's just nice to get air. Healthy food with a reasonable price. Will come again.

    Gorgeous patio.

    As promised, I went back after a couple of years. HomeState didn't get any better. I had a chicken salad and a side of flour tortillas. The ranch for the salad was extremely bland and watery. It tasted like a nondescript white dressing. The salad needed a good, tangy ranch. The chicken... just protein. And who doesn't love a good, homemade flour tortilla? We've all had them at Sonoratown and Casablanca... who doesn't want to eat like 10? The flour tortillas here are seriously like cardboard. I had to spit mine out. Who makes tortillas like this? Especially homemade flour ones! HomeState just doesn't get it. This time I'll never return. Darn.

    Breakfast taco
    Kelly J.

    Yummy food that is fresh and super flavorful. We tried several breakfast tacos and they were all delicious. They are about 5 bites each so the portions are good sized to be able to try several different kinds. Service is good and there is ample seating inside and out. Small parking lot but street parking typically can be found.

    Migas and Breakfast Tacos

    Incredible breakfast tacos and Migas! I live far away in NorCal but every opportunity I get to visit LA, if I'm anywhere near a HomeState I will happily get my breakfast taco fix. This was my first visit to this location. There was only one person ahead of me when I lined up to order around 9:50 am on a Monday. Loved the chill vibe of the outdoor seating area, which was quieter than inside where there were a few tables. Service was friendly, and they bring your food out to you after you order at the counter. I ordered the Lonestar Migas (5/5) that was packed with brisket, cheddar, and pico de gallo. It's delicious and pretty filling on its own! For breakfast tacos, I got the Don't Mess With Texas (5/5) which is a MUST try. A perfect breakfast taco! I also got the Guadalupe (4/5) which was good but I realized I'm less of a chorizo fan and prefer the brisket or bacon I had with my other menu items. The outdoor area is also dog friendly! I fully enjoyed having breakfast here and getting to see a few sweet, well behaved dogs was a bonus. I wish we could get a HomeState in the SF Bay Area! I can't wait to come back for more tacos.

    Ugh another fail for this location. Absolutely full of grease and a soggy lunch

    Tried to give this location another chance and got a sloppy joe? So much oil and water that I had to eat it with a fork

    Fort Worth taco
    Beatrice V.

    Great spot for tacos! They have an outdoor patio with seating, casual vibes. Good for a meetup with friends or a casual date. You order and pay inside and they bring out your food when it's ready. I got three tacos on their house-made flour tortillas. I got chicken, brisket and Fort Worth (chicken with bacon and jalapeños). They come individually wrapped in foil. They were pretty generously filled! Beware the tortilla gets a little soggy and messy depending on the taco you get, so be prepared with napkins. I liked the brisket one the best by far. Next I liked the Fort Worth, the chicken was a little bland. I recommend adding hot sauce and their salsa to the tacos too, gives it more flavor and kick. Nice service here too!

    This is the first time that I have eaten at the HomeState location, usually I grab the tacos to go. So first, let me say that I loved the vibe. It is a perfect spot for a summer meal. They offer open seating which was not at all crowded. The weather was great and it was just such a relaxing evening. The ordering process is pretty straightforward. Walk up to the counter, order your food, they give you a number and deliver when it is ready. On the subject of drinks, expect an awesome variety of interesting beverages. On the night that we went, they had two varieties of margaritas, one was spicy and so interesting. The staff was incredibly helpful and even offered us tastings to ensure that we didn't order something we wouldn't like. The menu is fairly simple. I always order the potato tacos, at five dollars you cannot beat it. They are absolutely delicious. So whether you want to dine in, or take out HomeState is a perfect option if you're looking for a reasonably priced delicious meal.

    Ordered Postmates.Tortillas were undercooked. Tasted like raw dough. Salsa and brisket also literally flavorless. Unfortunate.

    Pecos taco and crispy potatoes
    Evan W.

    HomeState is a wildly popular, expanded taco stand that aims to satisfy a wide array of cravings and succeeds from breakfast through dinner. The indoor/outdoor set-up, featuring counter seating, 2-tops, 4-tops and larger, communal picnic tables, makes it easy for singles, couples and larger groups to nestle into whatever arrangement works for them and start having a good time from the get-go. You order at the counter and get a number, so this is a fast casual spot, but it's upgraded well beyond the norm in this category. The decor is rustic and convivial, with faux incandescent string lights giving the place a warm, homey feel. They've got a liquor license, so beers and wines and slushy cocktails are also on the menu. You can definitely have yourself a time. The menu of tacos is straight forward and relatively simple, but all the ingredients are top notch, and the flavors are memorable. For breakfast, I had the Pecos Taco, which was fresh scrambled eggs and a slow roasted brisket that pretty much melted in my mouth. I chose to add some cheddar cheese; it was a nice bonus, but the taco would most definitely be fine without it, which is how they have it on the menu, as if they know something about it I also grabbed a side of their crispy potatoes with tomatillo ranch. There's nothing earth-shatteringly new about these spuds, but they are fresh and crisp and nicely seasoned, and a perfect compliment to the tacos. The house-made ranch gained a touch of flavor from the tomatillos, but I could have taken even more flavor to make it a bit more special. A duo of house-made salsas are brought with your order: salsa verde and salsa roja. Both offer great flavor without too much heat, but other hot sauces are available if you want to boost the fire. This is a great place to kick back with some simple, well-prepared and very tasty food. And the covered patio offers a perfect cross-breeze in the morning.

    How late is breakfast served?

    Hi Laleh, we serve our breakfast tacos and full menu all day from open to close!

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes

    Do they have high chairs?

    We do!

    When is Happy Hour and what does it entail?

    Last I saw it was 3-5pm on weekdays. Their margaritas were marked down to $6

    Do they take reservations?

    I don't believe so. You order your food at a counter, then find your table.

    On the menu the quesadillas can be ordered with four or corn tortillas, but the option for corn tortilla is not available when ordering on line-how do you request that?

    I haven't ordered online yet, but shouldn't there be a special instructions box of some sort? If not, put it in their suggestion box.

    Vegan options available?

    Yes they do have Vegan Options.🌮😊

    Is online ordering available at the new location yet?

    Hi James! Online ordering is available as of this morning on our website. It will be available soon on our app as well. Thank you!

The pancakes were warm and fluffy, and the fresh berries went really well with them. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were great, and the meal came out hot and nicely prepared. The eggs were prepped over medium, as requested. The eggs plus the fruit made for a quick and healthy breakfast, complemented perfectly by the pancakes. Overall, this was a great breakfast experience. Good food, great portions, welcoming service, and a comfortable neighborhood atmosphere. Parking and seating can be a little challenging because of the restaurant's size and popularity, but the food makes it well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back to try some of their Mexican breakfast dishes, especially the chilaquiles.

We sat inside and I ordered a simple brunch with just 2 strips of bacon, 2 over medium eggs and waffles. The server asked me if I wanted a full size waffle or half size and as I was watching the other people order I noticed people were not hesitating to order the full size option and I thought dang, they are not gonna finish that, so I opted for the half serving which was 2 pretty good sized waffles. Once I took my 1st bite, I suddenly regretted only ordering the half size option. I instantly knew right then and there why people ordered the full size. A waffle is a waffle right guys? Wrong... not this waffle. This waffle will make you feel love inside that you didn't know existed. As we were walking inside the restaurant I actually was picking a fight with my husband for no apparent reason... possibly because I was hungry but after I took my first bite, I forgot about the argument haha. I told him he needs to bring me here ALL THE TIME. I am yet to come back a 2nd time and I already anticipate loving it the 2nd time. We drove by one day hoping to have a 2nd try here and it was really busy so we didn't make the stop. I look forward to coming back and the next time around I will not hesitate to order a full size waffle order. The staff was really nice, our server was this young lady who was waiting on all the tables inside and some outside was on top of it. She was really pleasant and the gentlemen in the back were also nice. The restaurant was clean when we visited and the service was really quick. We parked down the street, the walk wasn't too bad, we didn't know where to park but I read some of the other reviews and I guess there's a parking in the back somewhere.

Every time it was either after hours or something would get in the way. Walked in at 11:40AM and stood in line. There were 4 other people ahead of me. Before that, grabbed their menu to see what I was in the mood for. It had a lot of options to try from. From baked goods, to hot and cold drinks to sandwiches. They also had nice merchandise available for sale. Had lovely patio seating along with indoor seating. Paul, one of their employees gave me a very nice greeting and also had a nice smile. All of their employees were very helpful. I ordered their butter Croissant $5.00, and asked him to warm it up. It was very fresh, flaky, and warm. I also got their Avocado Toast with: cucumber salad mixed in with red cabbage, chilli flake, and blended with a special Furikake spread. $10.00. I also got their full size waffle (2) generous size. $13.00. Last, but not least, got their 16oz. Iced Peaches n' Cream Matcha Latte ( $8.50) (0.50), core based Coconut, organic oat. The coffee shop was spotless clean along with their gender neutral restroom. Great music playing overhead. Jazz and Bossa Nova. My only critique is that the waffle was not that fresh, I had to dip it in the syrup that was given along with another Matcha sauce which was very unnecessary. Waffle was hard to cut, and was underbaked. Prices are tad expensive, but you get what you pay for. Everything else was made/baked to PERFECTION!
