Caribbean street food, known for rotis and flavorful patties
"The area around LACC’s campus is rife with fast-casual spots designed to feed nearby college students and medical workers, and Bridgetown Roti is the queen of them all. A few turmeric-colored patties or a goat roti wrap from this Caribbean spot’s hot case are ideal for a quick to-go meal, but Bridgetown is best experienced with a full spread of curried mac and cheese, fried plantains, and callaloo (braised greens.) Whichever route you choose, load up on the house hot sauces that pair well with everything." - brant cox, cathy park
"One of Los Angeles’s most-celebrated Caribbean restaurants comes from chef Rashida Holmes, whose modern Afro-Caribbean restaurant, Bridgetown Roti, began its astronomic ascent in Los Angeles as a pop-up in 2020 (it was named an Eater Best New Restaurant in 2021), before relocating to a brightly decorated permanent space in East Hollywood in 2024. Here, regulars file in for crispy-topped macaroni and cheese pie, red pepper goat roti wraps, and inventive patties — the oxtail and peppers and green curry shrimp renditions may be the best of the bunch. With ample vegan and vegetarian options, including its own spin on Trinidadian doubles, Holmes’ spot has something for every Angeleno. Order takeout or delivery through Uber Eats. — Nicole Adlman, cities manager" - Rebecca Roland

"If you’ve driven around LACC’s East Hollywood campus, you know the area has a lot of fast-casual spots designed to feed the hordes of college students and medical workers in the area. Consider Bridgetown Roti queen of them all. This colorful cafe serves Trinidad and Barbados-inspired dishes like goat roti wraps, coco bread cutters, and fried cod cakes, all of which pop with bold spices and decadent flavors that send you straight to the moon. A few turmeric-colored patties from their hot case are a dream scenario for a quick meal, but Bridgetown’s range of talent is best experienced with a full sit-down spread of curry-laced mac and cheese, fried plantains, and callaloo (braised greens.) Whichever route you choose, load up on the house hot sauces like mango-masala and pineapple-habanero that pair well with everything." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
