This is the second weekend in a row I've gone to The Moody Vegan! I've been following them for…read morequite a while on Instagram and happened to drive by last Sunday. It was kismet as I had time to kill. It's a very cute corner storefront with about five tables each, inside and out. As it was Sunday, metered parking on Sunset was free. I cannot not order a BLT when it's tomato season so I got that and a cafe au (oat) lait. I have been a vegetarian since 1992 and this was the BEST plant-based bacon I've ever had. It was smoky, crispy, salty, broke into perfect shards. It was to die for. I came back today and two of us ordered the breakfast burrito and the BLT again. I had the mint iced tea which was perfection. Again, just so so good. And the staff is super kind and welcomed my pug with a dog treat. I am excited to go over and over and start to explore other items on the menu.

We were visiting from Las Vegas and decided to stop by HomeState, and we're really glad we did! The…read morefood was fresh, flavorful, and definitely lived up to the hype. Everything came out quickly, and the tortillas were especially good. A big shoutout to Riley at the register. She was super friendly, welcoming, and made us feel right at home even though it was our first visit. Great customer service like that really makes a difference.

How did HomeState, a restaurant celebrated for bringing an authentic taste of Texas to Southern…read moreCalifornia, become so beloved in a city synonymous with the LA street taco? Most people would point to its outstanding tacos, built on pillowy, made-from-scratch flour tortillas and comforting Austin-style Tex-Mex fillings. HomeState emphasizes slow-cooked meats, warm hospitality, and the welcoming food culture that Texas is known for. They are also well known for their perfectly seasoned eggs, making their breakfast tacos especially popular. I ordered two of their Anytime (Daytime) Tacos: the Picadillo (grass-fed ground beef, potatoes, carrots, cabbage slaw, and pickled jalapeños) and the Chicken (organic achiote-marinated chicken, cabbage slaw, and guacamole). The achiote-marinated chicken was exceptionally tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The achiote gave the meat its signature deep-orange hue and subtle earthy flavor, while the generous portions of creamy guacamole and crisp cabbage slaw added freshness and a satisfying crunch. The Picadillo taco was equally impressive. The combination of seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, sweet carrots, crunchy cabbage slaw, and tangy pickled jalapeños created a delicious balance of flavors and textures. A few generous dabs of HomeState's housemade hot sauces elevated it even further. The seasoned beef paired with the red salsa reminded me of a Taco Bell Burrito Supreme--but made with fresher, higher-quality ingredients, more texture, and a welcome kick from the jalapeños, all without the sour cream. These tacos do not hold together for very long, but that is largely because the fillings are so juicy and generously portioned. It was a trade-off I was more than willing to accept. The undisputed star of the meal, however, was the fresh flour tortillas. They lived up to every expectation--pillowy soft, perfectly thick, buttery, and incredibly fresh. They were not just a vessel for the fillings; they were the defining element of the entire meal and easily the highlight of my visit. To wash everything down, I ordered the hibiscus limeade. The refreshing blend of steeped hibiscus, fresh lime juice, and agave syrup struck a perfect balance between tart and sweet, making it an ideal companion to the rich tacos. Traditional LA street tacos will always define the city's taco culture, but HomeState has carved out its own loyal following by embracing something entirely different. When you are craving Austin-style Tex-Mex and some of the freshest, fluffiest flour tortillas you will find anywhere in Los Angeles, HomeState absolutely delivers. 4.5 stars

I can't wait to come back to this place. It's absolutely adorable, the staff are so friendly, and…read morethe concept is brilliant. I went on a whole food vegan diet for 40 days as part of a cleanse and health journey. So my fiancé and I decided to come out here before a concert one night. He's been vegan for years and years, but I've never had that diet so it was hard for us to go out. We found this place and knew we had to go. We arrived about an hour before close, got sat immediately, and had a super sweet server (I wish I remembered her name). But I didn't realize that the menu items were all affirmations. As someone who has had a super tough year physically and emotionally, I've been really getting into meditation and manifesting and overall good vibes. So I thought going there and seeing that menu was absolutely a sign. It's fully vegan and whole food. And VAST. There was so much to choose from. I asked opinions on what to get. I think I ended up getting I Am Restored for my drink. Delish. Not sweet but very good. And then my partner and I got the I Am Glorious and the I Am Next Level to share. Everything was SO good. House made. Great flavor. And great presentation. My only wish was that is was more affordable (why does healthy yummy food have to be so expensive?!). We'd be going more often and we don't live close by. But it's worth it. Excited for our next trip back there! Side note - we also ordered delivery from them as well. The I Am Caring nachos (did notttt travel well.. get them in person). And the I Am Giving Margherita pizza. That was yummy. Recommend for vegans and non vegans alike!

I ended up getting so full that I took my second dish home! I absolutely loved the coconut drink, "I Am Chill." They were also happy to customize it with less ice, which I really appreciated. The "I Am Next Level" bowl was delicious, healthy, and very satisfying. My second dish, the "I Am Beaming" Pesto Alfredo Pasta, was a little too creamy for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. It was fairly noisy during lunch on Friday, and the service was decent but could have been a little more attentive. There were a few moments when I found myself wondering when the waiter would come back to my table. Overall, a great Dine LA value with delicious, healthy food and some creative drink options. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes!

Food - The French toast is a must-order, light, fluffy, and topped with a Chantilly cream that…read moretastes like it's homemade. Would order again. Regular breakfast items are solid too, and the eggs specifically were cooked really well. Price - French toast was $22, and a breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, and a side of French toast is $24. You can tell the ingredients and effort are there, but be aware that portion sizes may not be as big as casual diners/brunch places. It was enough for me, but if you're hungry you may need to order more times to feel full. Ambiance - Small, cute space. If you've got a big group or you're going during a busy time, reserve ahead or expect to wait a bit. Indoor and outdoor seating available.

The hostess also gave us a purse hook, which was such a thoughtful little touch. Drinks: The Dirty Mini Tini was strong and balanced, garnished with a single olive. For my second round, I ordered a half pour of Riesling. I really appreciate the half-pour option! Every restaurant should have a mini tini and half pours on the menu for the girlies. Bread service: Yummy! Two slices of sourdough. I just wish there was a little more dipping sauce. Beet agnolotti: In a ricotta butter sauce. This was the star of the meal, both in appearance and taste. So good. Steak: From Snake River Farms. We ordered it medium rare, but I think we should've gone with medium so it would be a little more tender. It came in a tangy demi-glacé with a simple mountain of onion and cilantro on the side, which was a nice touch. Maitake mushroom steak: This was okay, but not our fave. We definitely should've gotten the Potatoes No. 1 (potato confit) instead. Fig tart: Not really our taste. We only had two bites and didn't finish it. We did really like the burnt milk ice cream it came with though, and you can order that by the scoop! Our hostess, server, and busser were all attentive and lovely. Overall, we were impressed by the dinner service. I think it would've been an excellent meal if we had made two different choices with the sides/dessert.

I mean, Pan-Asian/American dishes? Plus, we could order pancakes? Vegan chicken nuggets and pancakes? How fun! We ordered the endamame, Brussel sprouts, herb soup, spicy ramen, and Impossible wrap with French fries. The brussels sprouts were delicious - they were perfectly crispy on the outside, not too soft on the inside and the sauce was sweet and tart. My friends enjoyed their soups. One of my friends is on a very strict, low sodium diet and the herb soup fit her needs health-wise and taste-wise. My impossible wrap and French fries were serviceable but nothing to write home about. My Thai tea was a little bit too sweet so I kept pouring water in it to dilute it. I think the most important thing is knowing what to order here. I'm sure the cooked Asian dishes are probably better than the wraps and I definitely want to come back to try other vegan entrées. I do think this restaurant is a bit of a Goldmine for the vegan Community just because there are so many options. The café itself is charming with its wooden accents, brown and beige booths and tons of artificial plants. But it is a mom and pop establishment with old bathrooms so it's definitely a casual dining type of spot. It was not too crowded when we got there at noon on a Tuesday. There were also a few tables outside so you can bring Fido. The service was friendly. There's definitely a hardworking family restaurant vibe here.
