[Review #709] 2022 Yelp 100 Challenge (30/100)…read more We moved in mid-November 2022, & my colleagues recommended Metro Cafe for its convenient location & hours. Located on the southeast side of the Park Del Amo office building, the cafe serves up classic breakfast & lunch items: breakfast sandwiches & burritos; omelettes; quesadillas; oatmeal; bagels; smoothies; hot, cold, & specialty sandwiches; Metro specialties; salads. There's enough walkable options since the PDA sits on the busy corner of Crenshaw & Sepulveda Blvds., but for those that prefer to stay on campus, Metro Cafe offers convenient business hours with breakfast served until 10:30 AM. I was rather hungry on a Friday morning, & called in an order of BACON, EGG & CHEESE POTATO BURRITO while en route to the office. After I dropped off my laptop, I moseyed my way down to the cafe & my burrito was ready by the time I paid. The burrito came with a small container of red salsa, possibly from a jar, still tasty with a mild kick; I would prefer a spicier version. It was a decent size burrito & somewhat hefty... just enough to satiate my morning hangriness. The burrito was nice & crispy with just the right amount of filling that I'm not just eating the tortilla at the first & last bites. I got a little of everything with each bite: bacon, egg, cheese, & potatoes, though I prefer a thicker bacon cut. No wow factor, just a classic, no frills breakfast burrito that satisfies. The mid-sized cafe offers a clean & spacious dining room as well as patio seating, especially nice during spring through fall. With a concentrated classic menu, prices range from inexpensive to moderate, & value-worthy on some menu items. I can't speak for everything since this is my 1st visit, but my colleagues & I do enjoy Metro Cafe's food. Adding fast & friendly service, yeah, I'll definitely be back. Recommended: Bacon, Egg & Cheese Potato Burrito; colleagues' recommendations: Harvest Salad with Chicken, Tuna Supreme Sandwich.

Plenty of parking on a Sunday morning. We were warmly welcomed in by the staff and given our choice to sit anywhere. They were moderately busy with customers dining in and outside. Whenever having breakfast somewhere new to me, I like to try a basic breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and a starch. Since they offer homemade biscuts, decided to give that a try. Hubby chose the green chilaquiles plate and OJ. He said it was about 3.5 stars. My plate looked and tasted good however I was surprised that the 2 eggs appeared to be 1 egg. The server was OK with getting another egg. Overall, my plate was about 3.5 stars. The service is kind and welcoming. Their soundtrack is upbeat and ecclectic. They do offer lunch specials Monday through Friday from 12PM to 3PM which is their closing time. Breakfast/brunch is so competitive in the South Bay. There is a place in Torrance that the hubby and I frequent regularly and they set the bar high. (You can probably guess what place that is from my regularly posted photos from there.) Overall, the Nook is 3.5 stars from us rounded up to 4.

I was greeted the moment I stepped through the door and the cashier was very helpful explaining the ordering process, which was very easy. My sandwich was ready in no time with fresh, delicious ingredients. My sandwich was definitely worth the price. The size of the sandwich was very generous. I ate half for lunch and look forward to eating the rest later. If I wasn't so full from the first half, I would have eaten it all. This is definitely my new go to sandwich spot.

We sat at a table for 6, there were only 2 of us, but if we were asked, we would have happily welcomed others - community tables are a great way to meet folks. The menu is simple, all the options that are typically found on a Mexican restaurant menu. We happened to dine on the day where birria was the special; birria plate or quesa birria tacos. I opted for the tacos. They're served tacos only, I ordered a side of beans. My bestie had chicken taquitos, served with rice and beans. The salsa fresca was good, not spicy though. We asked for other salsa options and our server brought us their salsa verde and their spicy salsa. The salsa verde wasn't at all spicy, and the flavor was forgettable. The spicy salsa, which they sell in glass bottles will put hair on your chest. We added it to everything to kick things up a bit. It was good, and hot. Just the way we like. The food was fresh, and it filled our bellies...I just don't think it was good enough for us to make the short drive. Our local favorite spot wins the flavor profile on the quesa birria tacos and it's close to home . Service was speedy even though there was only one server. But again, the place started filling and by the time we were ready to pay, the server was juggling priorities.

My wife and I had an enjoyable breakfast experience, tasting some unique dishes that are worth coming in for. We had a real early errand in the Lomita area, so wanted to take advantage by trying a different breakfast place. They have a really informative website, explaining the owning family's participation and how some of their food is sourced. It's a brunch place (open from 8 am to 2/3 pm, Tu-Su), so needed to wait a bit outside (street parking only, found one hour free parking right in front since coming so early). Menus are available at the front counter, and you place and pay (clover) for your order first. The food came out soon after, delivered to your table. There is a self-serve water jug in the same area as take-as-you-need take-out containers (also saw a self-serve costco-size plastic wrap box for wrapping...such a Korean thing to do). Utensils and napkins are available at the table to take for need. I really like places like this that have optimized the service experience, getting what you need without having to track someone down. Forking Around's Filipino Burrito ($18.95) - a collab with the food influencer 'Forking Around' to put into a breakfast burrito, many common ingredients from a Filipino breakfast. This includes egg, garlic fried rice as base and a vegetable lumpia with longanisa pieces, wrapped in a good flour tortilla. Sides were both a cilantro lime crema and a well made sawsawan. The sausage was not too sweet nor too red (though perhaps a bit too meatloaf-like), and the lumpia in the burrito worked for me. Korean Breakfast with bulgogi and steamed rice ($19.95) - it was served in a cast-iron skillet and the pan had been heated up greatly...super hot when served and still warm by the time we left. The flavor of the bulgogi was solid, and I loved the presentation. Taco Truck Burrito ($17.95) - korean-style al pastor pork, with pineapple and kimchi fried rice and egg. It was good....forgot to ask if the meat was really cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Came with a good chipotle salsa and lime crema. We were done in 30 minutes, from entry to exit. It wasn't too busy, so asked the front-of-house lead where the longanisa sausage and lumpia were made...she stated that it was all in-house. That's really impressive, making an ingredient from scratch that is only used in one dish. This and the elegant presentation and longevity really shows that the entire team behind bites & bashes cafe (catering) knows what they are doing.
