"One of LA’s greatest pleasures is sitting in an old-school restaurant serving unfussy meals, while overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Hermosa Beach’s beloved La Playita has been doing this for over 40 years, serving both Mexican and American breakfasts with chilaquiles, huevos Mexicanos, or french toast, available all day long. Beer, margaritas, wine, or juices are also a possibility, as is the burrito platter combo, fish tacos, or hearty chile verde. The seating area is downright lush with plenty of plants and a direct ocean view. Weekend lines can be long, but hang in there." - Eater Staff
