    On a Sunday morning, I was heading out to Sprouts to get Kaiser rolls and eggs to make baconeggandcheese. As I was at a stop light, I was reminded about the Rooster restaurant and pulled up the menu. Coincidently, they had a breakfast sandwich called The Bodega! Pulled up, parked and ran inside to see if their breakfast sandwich will satisfy my craving. I haven't found any thing close to a baconeggandcheese in Mid-City/Beverly Grove area that didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Inside it is cute. Plenty of seating to enjoy your breakfast and lunch. There is a large TV monitor and at the time, a FIFA soccer match was being played. Server was great. He was friendly and the service was efficient and fast. I was able to get my sandwich in less than 10 minutes. Now for the sandwich--- amaaaazing! The cibatta roll was not as dense and thick as some of the cibatta rolls I had in the past. It was heartly enough to hold in the egg and the generous amount of cheese. The bacon was crispy with not a lot of fat. I had bacon in every bite that I had. The sandwich is not commuter friendly which is a great thing! This is a sandwich that you need to sit down, slow down and enjoy. This totally reminds me of the ones I got from a bodega in Harlem (yes, I know, I am basing this review on a personal memory) but the difference is their special sauce. It has a little tiny kick to it and if I can take a guess. it has chipotle on it. I can be wrong. You can correct me. I like the part that it is around $10. This is review is for my first visit and I am sure I will be back to try more on the menu!

    Vegan Breakfast Sandwich $15 do just this.

    $15 for one sandwich, the size of my hand. I don't know how this business is going to last here with prices like that. Breakfast is so cheap to make it should not cost this much. This is the impossible breakfast sandwich. If the reason it's expensive because they're buying name brand products maybe they should rethink their ingredients. A vegan sandwich can be extremely cheap to make. I saw the other food on the menu but this sounded the best. So I'm not sure if I would try any other products here they had similar prices.

    Great spot for breakfast burritos! The Rooster is amazing for anyone who wants a quick grab-and-go. A simple setting with the purpose to deliver delicious food. The menu is very simple and includes seven signature eats. You also have an option for a burger, tacos, and a vegan sandwich. You can substitute how you'd like, but note it will cost extra. I.e. it cost $2 to substitute the bacon for chorizo in the Rico Suave burrito. Parking can be tough but there are some limited parking spots in the back for customers. The service was quick. Very limited seating within the restaurant and no public restrooms.

    Wow!!! Their rico suave burrito is absolutely amazing. I asked for no bacon so there is none in the image (I don't eat bacon). Definitely worth the drive! Service is fast, friendly staff, fresh tasting ingredients. Will be back!! If people ask me for my favorite burrito, this is definitely on the top of my list!

    I've been training for the LA Marathon and after my Saturday long runs the only thing I want is a killer breakfast burrito. So I have been on the search for the perfect breakfast burrito, and after yesterdays 11 miles, I NEEDED a good one. A friend recommended The Rooster, so my teen and I headed over from Santa Monica. Their breakfast menu is pretty limited--just the burrito and a couple of other breakfast sandwiches--but I think that simplicity is the key to their success. They just do a few things and they do them well! I love the fact that the egg isn't scrambled--I'm pretty sure I saw them crack the egg directly on top of the tortilla and cook it that way, but I was still in my post-run fog and didn't get a picture. However they do it, the yolk (fully cooked) and whites aren't mixed, and I loved it. I hate it when restaurants load up the burrito with potatoes, but they include just the right amount of tater tots to give it that starch and crunch without overpowering the other flavors. And that green sauce it comes with? Divine. My only gripe is that it's a bit of a drive from Santa Monica, and I can't see making this drive every weekend after my long runs. But the burrito is so good that I'm considering it!

    Super easy to find. Nice clean little parking lot, easy street parking!

    The breakfast burritos are so delicious! Perfect way to satiety in the morning! Service attentive and efficient! And the inside is super cute, light and airy, clean and spacious!

    I've tried pretty much every breakfast burrito in LA and this is still been my favorite for the past at least 5 years

    Really enjoyed the Rico breakfast burrito and the green crema!! Full of flavor and worth the stop!

    Wonderful breakfast burrito! Especially love the vegan substitution options. Was filling but not overly greasy like how some breakfast burritos can be. Their sauce and salsa were so professionally packaged!

    It's good, it's worth a stop, staff was friendly and helpful enough. I can understand why The Rooster has been included in "the best" breakfast burritos in LA conversation. The tots are crispy, the avocado is a must for the creamy/fatty/healthy component, the bavon is crispy but doesn't shatter, the cheese is cheesy and the cotija is crumbly salty, I appreciate a little brightness with the cilantro crema, though the fried is a tad over cooked for my taste. All for $12.50 which is actually on the lowish/medium end for hip breakfast burritos. What was weird though and worth mentioning is that it's a cashless business. NBD, I get all the reasons why and it's nothing new, I pay with my credit card for bonus miles anyways. Buuuut, there's a charge for using your credit card... *record scratch sound effect* So I can't use cash and will have to pay extra for using a credit card, so I HAVE to use my debit card. Such an oddity that you have to print out a sign that says it twice in black text on white background AND white text in black background. I can afford the 3% or whatever full in the blank it is that day, but it's such a weird thing to me that you wouldn't just round up on your signature Rico Sauve breakfast burrito to $12.99 instead of $12.50 and nobody would bat an eye ‍ Maybe it's just me... but I still enjoyed the breakfast burrito

    I was really excited to try this breakfast burrito. But honestly it was huge miss. I like the whole setup of the restaurant and the menu sounds great. But when I took the first bites I was missing out on Flavor! The sauces were missing flavor too. No spice at all and hardly any salt. I think they wanted to copy wake and late but definitely not even close. The textures were not on point. And the Flavor was a real disappointment. I genuinely was super excited when I got my food. Try seasoning the eggs and potatoes and crisping up the bacon way more. And add some actual chiles to the salsas. Otherwise this is not a contender for best breakfast burrito.

    This was my first time ordering from the Rooster. I tried their Breakfast Burrito called the Rico Suave. The Burrito was very good however it was very small. I usually only eat half a breakfast burrito in the morning but I was able to finish the whole Burrito easily. I probably wouldn't order from them again as it's not a very good bang for your buck.

The combination of friendship and delicious dishes delivered by Almost famous was soul-warming. Metered street parking only unfortunately, but service at the restaurant was excellent. Staff were friendly, courteous, patient, and were happy to go through the menu and make recommendations. You can tell they take pride in their dishes offered. They will check-in enough to ensure everything with the dining experience is going well, but not too frequently to impede on privacy. They have a breakfast/lunch (brunch) menu that they serve from 8am up until 2pm and a dinner menu that is available from 11am to 2pm & 5pm to 9:30pm. 1. Ginger & Cardamom Chai Latte (5/5) House-made chai with ginger and cardamom. If you like herbal spices, this drink was comforting and warming. It's not sweet, which I like and it paired well with the food dishes. 2. Crab Bhuna (4.75/5) Crab meat simmered in fragrant spices then topped with ginger, fennel seed, and curry leaves. It is served with soft, subtly sweet banana buns The crab meat was fresh and honestly, you couldn't even tell it's crab. It's seasoned perfectly with the aromatic Indian spices. The banana buns were interesting ... it was a bit on the dry side, but if you stuffed the airy pockets of the bun with the crab meat, it's not too bad. The banana bun had an interesting flavor profile; a mix of sweet-bitterness to it. 3. Sweet Potato Chaat (5/5) One of my favorite dishes here. It is sweet potato chunks mixed with a sauce blend of sweet corn, yogurt, tamarind, mint chutney and pomegranate. The sauce was light, refreshing, and tangy, balancing the natural sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly. 4. Brunch Dosa Rice & Lentil Crepe (4.75/5) Basically think of a crepe, but a super large size one. I just love their crepe - it was crispy yet doughy with a cheesy flavor. The crepe was stuffed with turmeric mashed potatoes. I typically do not like mash potatoes, but when it's served this way, I approve. The dish comes with a side of 3 sauces - sambar (lentil-based vegetable curry that's often seasoned with coriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek, dry red chilies), curry, coconut and tomato chutney. A perfect dish for sharing and for trying out the various flavors of Indian cuisine. 5. Wagyu Beef Keema Kulcha (4.5/5) Minced Wagyu beef that's seasoned well with aromatic spices and onion inside an Indian leavened flat bread. Highly recommend and will be back to try out other dishes!

This location on Wilshire Blvd in Koreatown is the smallest of the three I've visited, with under 10 seats available. It's a compact shop, and most customers opt for takeout.

For our first visit with our son, we asked the staff for recommendations, and they suggested either the Venice Beach (Turkey) or the New Yorker (Roast Beef). The staff was incredibly generous, offering a roast beef sample, which our son loved! We also appreciated them providing ice and straws for our water. We ordered the New Yorker ($19.00) with roast beef, porcini cream, tomato, and arugula. The sandwich was thoughtfully cut in half, perfect for sharing. The schiacciata bread boasts a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior, which beautifully complements the meats and cheeses. We opted to substitute the porcini cream for mozzarella, which was sliced into perfect bite-sized pieces and tasted incredibly fresh. The roast beef was thinly sliced and tender, the tomatoes were fresh and sliced to perfection, and the arugula added a delightful peppery crunch. It's a well-balanced sandwich and one of the best in LA. We would definitely order it again. A big thank you to the female staff member who expertly cut the meat and offered samples, assisting us in making the perfect choice for my son's sandwich. This experience was truly a positive one for our family. I would definitely return to AAV for the excellent food and service. Given the small size of the shop, takeout is recommended, especially during peak hours. The sandwiches at AAV are so good! Fuggedaboutit!

    We visited last Sunday at the farmers market branch and were really disappointed with our…read moreexperience. The staff was rude, which was surprising since we were so excited to finally try this place. The sandwiches we ordered were just okay. I'm not sure if the bread supposed to be served really cold, but ours were, and they just weren't very good. Overall, the experience didn't live up to the hype, and unfortunately, we don't plan on coming back.
