The Rooster

Eater LA Says That This Spot is the Best Breakfast Burrito in the City | Eater LA

"I consider the Rico Suave from the Rooster on Pico Boulevard LA’s best all-around breakfast burrito: chef-owner Rouha Sadighi—who’s won on Cutthroat Kitchen and worked at places like Penelope and Joe’s on Abbot Kinney—has nailed the ratios. She uses tater tots for crispness and starch (she was one of the first in LA to do so), eggs set to a forgiving medium so the yolk melds without spilling, dual cheeses (cheddar and cotija), and bacon for the ideal salty, chewy counterpoint. A bracing salsa and a robust cilantro crema coexist inside a lightly griddled flour tortilla, and avocado is included automatically. It’s balanced, trend-setting, widely wholesaled across the county, and consistently excellent with no need for mods." - Farley Elliott
