    Chilaquiles and Breakfast Quesadilla
    Stephanie S.

    Service was great. Place was a bit small. The wait time wasn't that long. I think I enjoyed the breakfast quesadillas more than the chilaquiles. Mimosas very tasteful. I definitely recommend this place hidden gym for sure.

    Cancelled 15 minutes after ordering and saying in progress - no phone call to let me know the issue.

    This former Grain Cafe - Van Nuys locations is the new and latest. I Love U Brunch is very much all in the name, however for this plant-based foodie their small limited vegan menu consist of a "Chicken" Sandwich, Burrito and Tacos. None of which are labeled on receipts, especially via third party apps. They've cancelled one of my take out orders as well as deliver for me and always seem to be out or low when in person... I'm not sure what the deal is here, but as far as I can tell it's very lackluster. It looks nearly exactly the same on the outside as when it was Grain with new signage and some nice additions to the inside (vibrant colors) though it could be a cousin of it's previous incarnation off Gilmore Street/Van Nuys Blvd. Not ideal for large groups as most tables and chairs, including the patio are limited to 2 to 4 people. I will say that some of the sides are vegan friendly as well as the avocado toast (without egg) and veggie wrap when you omit the dairy/cheese. Ideal for the average everyday brunch/breakfast lunch goer for sure. Easy small lot parking or local street parking. Load of beverages and dairy based smoothies which I believe can be made vegan since they do offer both almond and oat milk for their lattes. The service isn't the best, very off beat in a off way so I'm not sure I'll give them any more chances.

    Had brunch with family on a beautiful Summer Sunday. I ordered the Birria Taco; siblings ordered chicken salad and Steak and eggs. Tasty and satisfying. Steak was fresh and tasted great! Wait staff was friendly and helped us with suggested items to try. Outside tables available; we ate outside. Everyone had a smile on their faces as they walked out of restaurant. Wonderful local brunch spot for all! We shall return. Cheers!~

    (Brunch) El Campeon

    my partner and I had a great experience. We came in for breakfast around 10am. Food was amazing! Water was crisp and they have parking! We ordered a cafe de olla and chilaquiles. The food came out pretty fast and our waiter was pretty attentive to us. The place is small so I would suggest to come early or make a reservation.

    I was excited to try this place, and the food was good with decent service. However, I was disappointed with the cleanliness. The dishes didn't seem fully clean, the mimosa holder was sticky, and the cups looked worn. I ended up requesting plastic cups and utensils. I hope this is something they can improve, because it definitely affected my visit. Also, our food was pretty cold. I'm not sure I'll be back or recommend this place.

    One of my favorite places for brunch!! The food is delicious and it's always fresh. The services is fast and they are all so kind! It is small and but they always make it work. There's plenty of street parking.

    Tierra y Mar Molcajete
    Damaris S.

    had an amazing experience at I Love Brunch! The Tierra y Mar molcajete was absolutely delicious, loaded with perfectly cooked steak, shrimp, melted cheese, chorizo, and nopales. Every bite was full of flavor. I also ordered an horchata and a vanilla latte, and both were so good and refreshing. On top of the great food, the service was amazing, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place definitely exceeded my expectations, and I'll for sure be going back soon. Highly recommend!

    The service here was great, however we ordered Arugala Salad with caramelized walnuts and none were in this salad . We brought it to the attention of the cook, they sent over granola as a supplement?!?!? We ordered a specialty drink which was supposed to have cucumber,apple, pineapple... they had informed us there was no cucumber Unfortunately all the rave reviews we saw on TikTok were a bust for us. The club sandwich was pretty ok .... That I will give them. Unique flavor .

    I was walking and saw this place on the corner of my eye. It's kind of hidden from the main street. But it's definitely a hidden gem. Very clean inside. The girl working is very nice. And the food is excellent. I love my dish. They play music inside. It's a nice vibe. I would definitely come back. 5 stars

    First time trying out I Love U Brunch, nice and clean breakfast spot, I was greeted by Vivian she was really nice and welcoming. I had the El Campeón it comes with 3 flavors of chilaquiles red, green and mole along with a 6oz New York steak strip medium rare and it was delicious, to drink I had a vanilla Latte really really good. I will definitely be coming back to try out more items in the future. Gracais a todos at I Love U Brunch for the delicious breakfast.

    Avocado toast. Not even toasted

    I ordered over the phone and they told me 10 min. I arrive 15 minutes later only to be told to wait 15 more minutes. The avocado toast, isn't even toasted. The quality of the food is really bad. It's not even warm. And to top it off, it was over $50 for 3 items that were subpar. Really disappointed.

    Chille relleno
    Yahaira N.

    The food was absolutely fire! It was delicious! Cant wait to go back. It's a small hole in the wall. The food was fresh and very flavorful! I highly recommend it! We ordered the molcajete mar y tierra, quesa birria and the chile relleno!

    The restaurant is located behind Sketchers and the parking lot is very tight. I recommend street parking, as the spaces are quite narrow. Upon arrival, we were immediately seated at a booth and our order was taken promptly. I ordered the cafe de olla, which could have used a bit more depth of flavor, as it tasted closer to regular coffee, but it was still enjoyable. My mom ordered a margarita and my uncle had the carrot orange juice. The juice was made fresh in front of us and tasted delicious. The margarita was perfect, strong and definitely did the trick. They even lit it on fire, which was a fun touch. The food was good overall, though slightly on the salty side. I ordered the molcajete with chorizo and cecina, which was flavorful and came with a very tasty salsa. Service was attentive and quick throughout our visit. Next time, I plan on trying the pancakes or waffles, so I will definitely be back.

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

Every single interaction I had with a…read morestaff member (besides the hostesses) felt like I had made them resent me without saying a word. Just dismissive, pissed off attitudes from beginning to end. Literally every single thing, from ordering a drink to getting the check, took twenty plus minutes and multiple requests. The restaurant was fairly full, but definitely not overwhelmed. I genuinely had no idea who our server was because the interactions were so minimal and brief and half the time I was flagging someone down to ask (again) for X, Y, or Z. I work in a restaurant. I'm a server. My empathy is high and my standards are ALWAYS manageable. This was some of the worst service I've ever had. On top of that, my nearly $30 shrimp burrito had an amazing lack of shrimp in it, and even beyond that, it just tasted like mayonnaise. It was inedible. I didn't dare try to send it back or get something else for fear I'd be stuck there for hours. Casa Vega is iconic, that much is undeniable. I don't know if they're resting on those laurels, or if management has devolved to the point of having extremely jaded staff, but I probably won't ever be back. Not that you guys need my business. But I'm definitely going to encourage others not to go experience the wreckage of a one-time pillar of Los Angeles either, and that is something that genuinely pains me to say. I am BEGGING someone to care about this restaurant again. It is worth saving. But right now, it's not even kind of worth visiting. Would be a better museum than restaurant. Two stars for the margarita I eventually got. It was thankfully delicious.
