4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: May 16 | Eater LA

"A transplant from Jersey with a millennial-pink facade that initially felt pandering, this Santa Monica spot has nonetheless become a vital neighborhood hang thanks to a menu of salads, wraps, and approachable breakfast items. Early draws included two Angeleno-friendly breakfast burritos (one chorizo and one ancho-potato), a kaleidoscopic array of gluten-free doughnuts, and a harder-to-find chicken Caesar wrap. In four years it expanded to a second Los Angeles location in Larchmont and now does brisk business; people like the salads, salad wraps, and burritos. The potato breakfast burrito, available on a regular flour or pliable gluten-free tortilla, is crisped on the flat-top and served with red and green salsas, and the Nutella doughnut holes are noted as hitting toddler palates just right. The reviewer reports frequent visits for easy breakfasts and not-so-sad desk lunches, and chose it for a recent Mother’s Day meal to share with her husband and toddler. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Eater Staff
