10 out of a 10. I went today and the food and service was so good. The food had fresh ingredients and they have freshly squeezed juice. My espresso was high quality with no milk or sugar. I will be returning. read more

This place seems to always be jam packed! After having breakfast here, I can see why. The chilaquiles were absolutely delicious and a great portion size. The coffee (regular coffee) was strong and flavorful, with an almost smoked tinge to it. If you're looking for a quiet, romantic spot this is not it. Every table is full and for good reason. Looking forward to coming back here and trying some more of the menu. Be ready to wait a bit and don't expect the fastest service, but you can see that they're trying. Bravo. read more

Writing a piece for this place is as chore of appreciation because this place, in a phrase, is damn good! It takes the traditional flavors of Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries (like El Savador) and elevates them to mighty tasting food and drink that stands confidently in French technique and nuanced flavors that are also bold in nature. Yep, this place is damn good! I have been once there before, and I remember three things about that visit. The first is their pork chop. The menu describes the pork chop as such: 24oz Bone in Berkshire Pork Chop topped with our House Made Compound Butter. Served with 2 eggs and potatoes. The cost of this plated chop is 40 dollars so it is definitely not a breakfast meat for the faint of wallet. But the chop was juicy, really succulent, and probably stands as a pork chop that I remember most fondly, if not top three easy. Its subtle char, its thick presence, an ode to the chop would not do it justice. The second thing (really human being) that I remember was the owner. He provided me his phone number so I could call him if I ever needed to skip their wait line but I misplaced his number. Yet, I remembered that their weekend wait can run close to an hour. So I arrived 30 minutes early before I met a friend. And we waited another 30 minutes to get in but the wait was worth it, absolutely. Before I get into the specifics of the meal, I want to recount that we were celebrating her birthday. And for me a birthday meal always needs to have a sweet finish, just like a train ride needs a caboose to feel complete. I have also been around the dinner table enough to know that different places have varying policies on around a birthday treat. Some places put a candle atop the cake while still charging you for the dessert, while others solely provide the treat, with appreciation and no extra charge. I am brave enough to inquire about their policy that way ordering can be decided upon strategically. I explained to the owner that we were celebrating a birthday and asked about their policy. We had paid our bill, the dishes had been taken away, and I asked the owner again. My friend, a little embarrassed I am sure, was like that's enough using her hands. She must not have liked the attention or the risk of us being seen as pushy or freeloaders. The owner explained that he had placed something for us, and brought it. It was a Salvadorean quesadilla, which is more of a sweet bread, than a cheese quesadilla that is more commonly delivered by Mexican cuisine. The quesadilla had ice cream, berries and a decorative flower. I am not sure how she felt after we received it, and enjoyed it, but I hope she knows it was nothing but an attempt to help her new year of life be that much sweeter. She had the chilaquiles. The chip of their chilaquiles is crisp to the point of perfection. The oil taste is subtle, and the salsa and other ingredients due not subdue the structural integrity of the chip. Meaning that the chip is a sturdy vehicle for the meat and sauces that comprise the dish. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito that is described as a chorizo and Potato scrambled with 2 Eggs. Flour Tortilla, wrapped in a cheese crust. Topped with Sour Cream, Pickled Red Onions, Avocado and a Fried Egg. Choice of Red or Green Sauce. The cheese crust is like a second tortilla that enhances the burrito to haute couture dining. How? It takes what is known and transforms into a surprise that feels familiar yet new. It is a total moment of why did I not think of that? I also got the chorizo with red and green sauce, the owner called it divorced sauce and I called it Christmas style-. Either way the taste was truly phenomenal and transported me from flavors I know well to flavors that seemed fresh and exciting. It was Mexican food for a brave new world. I also had a pink latte. Yes, I got it because I wanted to taste pink, not just wear it. The pink latte is described as an Organic Beet Powder, Cinnamon, Ginger, Clove, Cardamom, Himilayan Sea Salt and Black Pepper sweetened with Vanilla. I like beets in salads, but here the drink was too earthy for my liking. Like one time I had a Tumeric latte and I felt the same way. So I sipped and enjoyed the novelty but I would not spring for this pink drink again, sorry Barbie. This place is worth the visit despite the one hour wait. read more

Met up with my siblings to have a catch-up breakfast here. My sister had seen this on social media and really wanted to try it out. Parking is very limited, but we did come during a holiday so we were able to park at the bank next-door. You walk in through the back, we did have to check in, but we didn't have to wait too long thankfully even though the place was pretty busy. We're seated on our waitress was very attentive very sweet. Asked us if we had any questions about the menu took and took our drink orders. We ordered a little bit of everything because we like to share. The food was amazing. One thing I will say was that pork chop was super juicy. Some places their pork chops can run dry, but this one was delicious and cooked perfectly. The Chilaquiles were amazing. The pancake flight was good. I'm not a big pancake person, but we all wanted to try the different flavors. My Biscoff cookie latte was perfect. All in all the food was amazing. Service was great. The place stayed pretty packed the whole time we were there but it's still small enough to where you can catch up with somebody and it not be too loud. Glad my sister found this place and that we got to try it. read more

Invited to breakfast at Tata's Cafe. Who could say no? Enjoyed a great cup of coffee and the Loaded Tots. My friend had a Biscoff Latte and a Vegetarian Burrito. So much food!! BTW, the owner looks fabulous and we told him so. Soo very proud of his achievement. Keep up the good work. Ok, bye. read more

There's a low-key Michelin chef behind this cafe, y'all. My nursing friends invited me for breakfast after a long shift and, tbh, I thought it looked sketch from the outside. But, then again, some of the absolute best restaurants have always been holes in the wall. The interior of this place is cute though. Food? 5/5 unreservedly. American/Mexican with no dilution of either. Classic American breakfasts with uncompromising classic flavors. Mexican plates with authentic preparation. No joke no joke folks, this place is AMAZING for breakfast and brunch. And, good selection of coffee. The mimosas are yummy After coming to this place for the 3rd time, we found out that the owner is Culinary School trained. So, it all made sense. Pork chop and eggs or chilaquiles... Either way, amazing O of the taste buds. Come come try try!! +Digital Payments +Bathrooms +Parking is on the little lot or on the street. Be forewarned, it is initially tricky to find this place. It is next to the Marriott Courtyard but a brick wall separated their parking lots. If you get lost, just park somewhere on the street (mind the signs) and walk to the BACK entrance. read more

The food is consistently good. Served fresh and hot. Service is always A1! Very nice staff. Clean and organized restaurant. The only thing I'd say could improve is breakfast menu options; pancakes and waffles are sold à la carte instead of in a meal with eggs and a protein. Other than that, this is a great restaurant in the city of Hawthorne! read more

This breakfast place is my GO TO! Both the coffee and food is bomb. I recently tried this spot with my boyfriend and we loved it. We both agree that Tata's by far makes the best pancakes we have had. The cafe de olla latte is amazing! I order it every time I come. This place is a great option to order through Uber Eats too. If you come during game day at SOFI stadium, you will see a lot of guests wearing jerseys. There's a good amount of seating and the employees are kind. There's parking behind the restaurant and you enter through the backside. If you decide to try this spot, order the pancakes! read more

My favorite neighborhood café all of the food is good and they have great mimosas. Services always friendly and has a family owned vibe.

This was my second time.../ I came with great anticipation... only to be grossly disappointed. We were told the wait was 15 minutes. After 25 minutes we saw that a couple that came in after us was seated. We asked how much longer and we were told there was a table ahead of us. After 5 minutes, I decided to ask about how much longer. The other lady told me there were 3 tables ahead of us. The chilaquiles were off the chart spicy. My granddaughter couldn't eat them. We ended up splitting the enfrijoladas I had ordered. read more

I was looking for a place to have brunch and saw this come up on yelp. It was local so I gave it a try. It is behind the Chase bank on hawthorne blvd next to the police station. The host was nice and all the staff walked around with smiles. The wait was about 15-20 mins. It felt like a local diner and gave a nice ambiance. After checking the menu, prices ranged from $15-$90! I said wow what a range. The mimosa flight was $30 and that is with prosecco. Mmm maybe not. I sat by myself and ordered the meat lovers burrito. They were out of the IPA, so I got the salt Bae beer. The place was steadily packed, I wondered what other people ordered On the burrito was a cheese shell, green onions and spicy mayo sauce. The cheese tortilla was good however the blend of flavors was salty and alot of fat came from either the ham or bacon. I ate about half of the burrito and stopped because my stomach started to hurt. read more

Pros: the food was excellent well priced and the coffee was good. The restaurant was very clean and well spaced tables and decorated well without it being cluttered. CONS: the wait times were ridiculous they told us a party of 3 it will be 45 min max turned into an hour and other people we seated faster than us. The waitress kind of forgot about our table after a while. We ended up ordering from a different waitress. Besides the cons the food was cooked really well and enjoyed it despite the not having great service. read more

The breakfast was delicious. We had never been there and the server (Nancy) took time to explain the menu to us. She wasn't rushed at all and made sure we understood everything. My son had the omelette with apple chicken sausage and I had the loaded tots. I would recommend both but the tots with apple chicken sausage were my favorite! We will visit here for breakfast the next time we are in town. At the end of the meal when Nancy brought the check my son said "our server is really nice"! Great experience! read more

The espresso martini was creamy and hella delicious! We ordered the Chilaquiles with Birria, Huevos Rancheros, Loaded Tots with Chicken Apple Sausage, and the French Toast to share. Everything was delicious, and I highly recommend this place. The French toast was domb, and I can't wait to bring my daughter here to try it. read more

The hostess had an attitude when we asked about a table. I get she seemed overworked, but the rudeness wasn't necessary. She quoted us a 30-minute wait for a party of four, then after 30 minutes told us it'd be another 30. The app showed no parties ahead of us, yet she seated three groups--including another party of four--before us. Overall, we waited almost two hours. When the food finally came, it wasn't even hot, which was disappointing. I reheated it at home and it tasted great, so the flavors are there. The owner was the best part--super friendly and attentive--but they really need more staff and a bigger space. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be back. read more

Don't let the outside judge the restaurant. Second time eating at Tata's Cafe and another great experience. The food and service were great. I had the chilaquiles. Good portion of chips and 2 eggs. The green sauce is my favorite not overly spicy, but a nice kick. We also tried the enfrijoladas, this is served with 4 tortillas stuffed with chicken and then covered with black bean purée. So tasty! Minus 1 star since they charge you a 3% credit card processing fee and don't tell you before hand unless you ask for the receipt which then has that charge itemized. read more

WOW. Just wow. This was such a hidden gem. Looked for a last minute lunch spot and was not disappointed. Parking was interesting. The entrance to the restaurant is in the back where the parking it. It's pretty easy to miss. I didn't see an option to join the waitlist online and we arrived around 12:15. The venue itself has about 15-20 tables. It smelled SO good when you walked in. When the host said it was going to be an hour wait we actually started looking at other places to go and I'm really glad we didn't. It definitely took the whole hour. During that time there were several people picking up to go orders. When we finally got seated the host was so kind and asked if we wanted some fruit for our baby since he knew we had been waiting. Our server was Maria. She was amazing. Quick and attentive service. After we orderer, we asked her about a dish that she served at another table. She said it was their Birria Bowl and highly recommended it. She came back a few minutes later and gave us a sample. It was AMAZING and the gesture was so thoughtful. We will definitely be coming back to order that next time. Okay onto drinks and food: We ordered a mimosa carafe, the juice was SO fresh, we got about 5 drinks out of it. My husband ordered a miche and the photo speaks for itself. 1. Kids 1 egg breakfast with bacon and pancake. 10/10- big serving for the $8 price. My daughter was a huge fan of the fruit. 2. Chilaquiles- they give the option to order half and half (green and red salsa) - husband rates it 8/10 only because he'd like it to be a little bit more spicy. Neither sauce was spicy but both were full of flavor. Meat was perfectly cooked medium rare and the dish itself was a perfect serving and very filling. 3. Monte Cristo- 9/10 - HUGE, crispy and cheesy. I couldn't finish the whole thing. 4. Chicken and waffles: 10/10. BIG piece of chicken. It was incredibly juicing and the batter was so crispy. Just a flavor bomb. My friend said the waffle was also really good, great texture and tasty as well. He finished the whole plate. Overall, we were so so so so happy we waited it out. We will definitely be coming back with guests and even to just to take out. Staff were amazing, and hustling the whole time. Shout out to Maria and the host (I'm so sorry I didn't catch his name) !!Recommendations for Tatas!! It would be great if you could add an option to join the waitlist online and also adding pictures to your menu would help a lot, we were gawking at the food getting served at other tables, the presentation is so beautiful it deserves to be showcased. read more

Thursday, 10/02/2025 - Tried Tata's Cafe. Address is 12627 Hawthorne Blvd, Hawthorne, CA 90250. When we arrived, there is a very busy street in the front and the restaurant door is there. But there is a sign that points you that the entrance into the restaurant is in the back of the building. There is no large restaurant name in the front. For a few minutes, we couldn't find the restaurant and thought maybe they shut down. If you're not from this area, you wouldn't know. Luckily, I got out of the car and decided to walk around the building to double check. And there it was, the door that pointed us to the back of the building. They were not closed down! Phew! :D Upon arrival... Pros 1) when we arrived, there was plenty of parking. It was easy to get parking. 2) I love all the cute decorations in the restaurant. Restaurant is like 240 square feet. Estimated. 3) you must wait to get seated. Only in door seating. 4) I saw only 2 lovely ladies working. Servers were very nice. Seating people, taking orders, bringing foods out, and cleaning up tables. 5) Foods were great. Pancake was nice and fluffy and Monte Cristo was delicious. Over medium eggs made perfect. You must ask for salt and pepper. It's not on the table. 6) no hand held menu. Must scan QR code for menu. There is a kids menu online. 7) restaurant looked clean. 8) only 1 bathroom for both men and women. 1 stall. Door locks. Cons 1) service was slow. You need to have patience. Maybe it's because we came at lunch time. 2) water had a weird taste. The cute yellow mug I got for my water had a weird smell in it. I tried putting my tea in it to see if it'll hide the smell and the funky taste. That still did not work. 3) restaurant was hard to find. Conclusion We like this restaurant. Although it was hard to find (there was no visible signage to help), water tasted weird and service slow; staffs were nice, foods tasted great and restaurant decorations were so cute! We will definitely will have to come back here again and try a different dish. read more

EVERYTHING GOOD!!!! Customer service Clean Ambiance Food As soon as we stepped in the door Great customer service began. We were immediately greeted, We only had to wait a few minutes for a table to be cleaned. I was able to use the restroom and I am not a fan of public restrooms. Happily this restroom was clean. While waiting we scanned the restaurant and noticed the cute decor. Once seated we had to scan the menu using a QR code, I ordered an avocado toast with smoked Salmon and an espresso martini, my boyfriend built his own omelette. First thing arrived was the espresso martini and I've had espresso martinis in the past but this one showed up with a cute bear on top. The espresso was not only cute but tasty too. Avocado toast arrived and it was beautifully done . It came with beets chips that were absolutely delicious. Fresh tomatoes, greens, and a generous amount of smoked salmon that was extremely good and a sliced boiled egg. I have my share of avocado toast and this has topped the list as one of my favorites. I ordered a second espresso martini and to my surprise it came with a different image. I couldn't help but to smile. I joked with my boyfriend I would continue to order espresso martinis just to see how many images they have. Lol I love that the waitress was creative enough to give me a different image than the previous. . Now the customer service was on point . Happy friendly staff is my kind of environment. I will definitely be willing to take the drive just to revisit. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I ordered the meatlovers breakfast burrito. It was soooo good, it was stuffed and with lots of meats , 2 eggs with a fried egg on top. The sauce that came with it complimented the burrito perfectly . The tortilla was cooked just right with melted cheese all around the tortilla. This might be hands down the best breakfast burrito I have had. Next for me to try is the bone-in pork chop. Friendly staff too boot. Note: You will have to enter in from back cus u can not from Hawthorne. Yelp says they close at 3pm but when I got there they said 4pm. read more

This is one of my fave breakfast spots in all of LA. It's not that big inside so you should avoid large groups, and expect a wait on the weekends. However, I've only ever waited like 20 mins and they also have bar-like seating that most people opt out of. Everything on this menu is good and I have never had a complaint. The coffee drinks are also good. Service is good; keeping in mind that they get crowded. There's a parking lot, but street parking may be easiest. read more

Went to breakfast early Thursday morning, 8:30am, and by 9am it was already getting crowded. So, come early it's a popular spot. Menu is virtual, you just scan a barcode; it doesn't have any pictures so definitely use Yelp photos for visuals. I had a hot, horchata latte and the green salsa chilaquiles. Latte was good and that green salsa was really good. It was spicy but not too spicy, had a nice little kick to it. My friend ordered the French toast that looked amazing, plenty of fresh fruit served with it. The actual bread slices were pretty thick though, but she said it was good. Other items on the menu and on people's plates looked yummy, their presentation is pretty well done. I'll probably be back to try something new!

Tata's Cafe - Horchata Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hawthorne, California

Tata's is a strange little spot to grab brunch. The food is pretty good, and they even have an impressively decent latte. The problems are really more about how weird it is to get in to the restaurant, and the service. The front door is locked, and you have to go in through what feels like an employee only back door. Really disorienting and confusing. And the service is okay, but it was much slower than I would have expected for how few people were there when we showed up. Overall, it's a good bite and coffee if you're staying at the hotel next door, but I don't think I'd go out of my way for it. read more

My husband & I stumbled upon Tata's cafe as it was near the hotel we were staying at & we are glad we did! The food was phenomenal! My absolute favorite was the cafe de olla latte and chicken & waffles. Both of our portions were huge and very flavorful. The only negative I could comment on was the service. We were a party of 2 and it took a while to seat us and then bring out our food. We even ordered right when we sat down because we were afraid of the wait and it still took a while. Other than that it was great! The entrance is out back though, which could be sketchy to some but wasn't a big deal to us. read more

Summary: fantastic food and coffee, excellent service, and affordable prices with solid portions make this place a must-visit. Highly recommend the breakfast burritos and horchata latte. There is plenty of parking in the lots in back, where the entrance is. You may have to wait for a table during primetime, but it is worth it. My wife and I went here for brunch on NYE around 11:45am and found parking easily. Inside, most tables were occupied, but there were a few groups in the waiting area, too. We put our names in and waited for about 25 minutes before being seated. Once seated, we scanned the menu QR code at the table and determined what we wanted to order. We started with an horchata latte (which was AMAZING), and waited about 15 minutes for our food to come out. I ordered the veggie breakfast burrito with avocado and both green and red sauces (delicious), while my wife ordered the loaded tots with a hot link (also very good). As you can see, the portions are huge And we ended up taking home some leftovers. The prices by comparison, are incredibly affordable for the quality and quantity of food. Throughout the meal, the servers were bustling around from table to table and checking in on us. I did have to flag down a server to get the check, but it was still a wonderful meal for both of us. We will definitely be back. read more
