Former Original Pantry Cafe Workers Are Now Cooking the Diner’s Dishes in East LA | Eater LA

"An East Los Angeles restaurant has launched a breakfast menu dedicated to one of the city’s oldest diners and has hired four former employees of that diner who lost their jobs when it closed on March 2. Owner Erika Armenta—who had a final meal at the 101-year-old restaurant before it closed and spoke with a longtime server—says: "One of our friends suggested hiring them as cooks at our restaurant, since we were short-staffed," and adds, "This sparked an idea. I wanted to meet with them and offer a job that would allow them to pursue their true passion, cooking what they loved most: breakfast meals." The special breakfast menu is available daily from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m., with actual longtime cooks from the closed diner preparing pancakes, sausages, and fried potatoes. On Saturday, April 26 the restaurant will host a fundraiser from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., with all proceeds going toward its newest employees. (First reported by NBC-4; Armenta spoke with Eater.)" - Mona Holmes

East Los Tacos did not disappoint. We were big fans of the pantry, and now, with East Los taking the torch of great breakfast food, it is knocking it out of the park! We tried the pancakes platter, the famous omelet, and the asada tacos. Everything was delicious. About the seating accommodations, it is much, much bigger than the pantry, so seating is no problem, and it's 100% wheelchair accessible. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. Overall, 5 stars across the board.

Found this place on Instagram and have to come on my off day. I’m a light eater so I order the bacon, eggs and pancakes kids meal with a small cup of coffee. It did remind me of the pantry in Downtown LA. Overall the food was yummy and enough for me. Jess served my food and made me feel welcome and special. He was very attentive and made sure all dishes were pick up and making the place look nice and presentable. Next visit going to try their tacos! Enjoy 😉

If you’re missing breakfast from The Pantry in LA, you need to check out East Los Tacos in East LA — you won’t be disappointed. The cooks here are serving up that same kind of delicious, comforting breakfast that hits the spot. I had the breakfast platter and it was seriously good 💯 — flavorful, fresh, and satisfying. My wife ordered the mulita, which is like a Mexican-style quesadilla, and it was absolutely delicious 🤤. This spot has great food, friendly vibes, and deserves all the support. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. Highly recommend!

Today the 19th of September 2025 at around 2:15pm the men's restroom was not working. But the food and everything else was tremendously good. 5 stars for sure.

First time trying east los tacos via doordash. Overall, I love the fact this restaurant offers super affordable tacos ($2.49) with a generous amount of protein and hand made tortillas. My mulita was filled with a generous amount of cheese and lengua. I was really happy to see a honest, thoughtful and customer-orientated restaurant because many restaurants try to cut corners on the meat to cut costs. Flavor profile wise, I think the protein and salsa could use a bit more salt and seasoning. My order tasted slightly bland. Other than that, I have no complaints. I will definitely order again!

My mother and I came here because it actually popped up on my IG and the food looked good. We are never coming back here again! First off, the staff are rude! They don’t even greet you upon arrival. The food was just bad, very greasy and tasteless! My poor mother even got an upset stomach for 2 days after having this meal! Very disappointing. I honestly wouldn’t recommend for anyone to go here for breakfast!

In town for a few days and was directed to East Los for lunch. Had the Al Pastor Quesadilla and it was amazing. The chicken was perfect, with just the right flavor. The cheese was creamy and melted the whole thing together into one creamy, crispy hand held meal!

Spacious and airy restaurant offers speedy service and an uncomplicated menu. In addition to tacos and meat options, East Los Tacos also offers a breakfast menu. The servings here are plentiful so bring your appetite! My go to menu item is the Keto Burrito Bowl with pollo. It's filing and satisfying but a bit too salty. Free refills on fountain drinks. Plenty of parking across the street in the public parking lot underneath the freeway overpass. Limited parking behind the restaurant. Enjoy your visit!

First time eating at their restaurant! We use to go to their truck. I would say I was impressed by the spaciousness of the restaurant, parking was a breeze at 2pm Saturday in their lot. Love their street tacos! Tasty, reasonably priced, generously filled. Al Pastor Mulita was oilier than I would prefer however super tasty! Al Pastor is always fattier. Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Lengua all hits! Pina agua Fresca was refreshing. Cucumbers are bomb at the salsa bar. Fast service. Cool art work, spacious location. Definitely coming back. In fact, my son is already asking when we're coming back! I can't wait to try their Dubai chocolate cups, and shaved ice.

This is the place that a few of the old employees went when The Original Pantry downtown LA closed its doors. You are able to get the same food as the Panty for breakfast and it was very tasty. Service is good. Ambiance is casual but nice and clean - HOWEVER, everything is served in paper cups, paper plates and plastic utensils. Because of this - I won't be back to pay these prices and to eat off "CHEAP". Thank goodness The Original Panty will be reopening at the end of 2025 it in January 2026 with most of its employees all returning.

If you're looking for a spot that blends warm hospitality, a cool vibe, and great food, look no further than East Los Tacos. We came for Sunday brunch and weren't disappointed. The staff were friendly and attentive that set the tone for a great dinning experience. Now let's talk about the heart and soul of East Los Tacos, the food. Each dish we ordered was so good, flavorful, and they give big portions the are reasonable priced. In conclusion, East Los Tacos was succeeded our expectations, it definitely a chef driven destination and we'll definitely be back and tell family and friends.

One word for this restaurant, WOW! Everything about this place screams fun, creative and unique and this had nothing to do with the food. The murals, colors, sounds and atmosphere definitely do a number on your senses. These is so much to see and this place is HUGE! Now for the food, can you say DELICIOUS!??? The entire menu with the exception of breakfast items which were recently introduced on the clearly listed menu boards behind the front counter. Items such as Keto tacos and burritos, regular tacos, quesadillas and do much more. All of the cooks came to work here after the Pantry in DTLA closed down for good so the food is EXCELLENT!! This place was so crowded with many customers, LA County Firefighters and a couple of LA County Deputies. This is definitely a HOT place to visit and my family and I plan to visit again very soon

Stopped at this place because my husband and I found out that the chefs were previously employed by the Original Pantry restaurant (Los Angeles) that closed back in March of 2025. I ordered queso tacos with tripas. They are also known as chitterlings, and small intestines. I have to begin with the texture, which was spot on. When I ordered them, I requested them to be extra crispy. Let me tell you, they were perfect. They were slightly hard, and dry with a satisfying crunch. The firm brittle texture just made them ideal. I will definitely order these tacos again. They also had a salsa bar with a variety of chili, and cucumbers. Another plus in my opinion. The place was very clean and EVERY employee I made contact with was extremely nice and professional. This was a great first impression. 10 out of 10 for me.

In response to the owner, Erika's comment on my post. You are doing a phenomenal job. Our hat goes off to you for taking the cooks in. That was not only a kind gesture, but a genius business move. We support your restaurant 100% and your employees. It only will perfect all the more. over time. Cheers to much more success! We used to drive by this place all the time and it was always empty. With the great idea the owner had of hiring the cooks from the Old Pantry of DTLA and calling it the East Los Pantry, they have definitely filled the place with customers for breakfast. The place is clean. Service is decent. You walk in and order and they call your number to come pick up your food at the counter. Ok I guess. What I hated was the plastic utensils. Bad choice! Sure less dish washing. But terrible for a sit down meal in the restaurant. Disliked that terribly. The food, it's ok. Salsas had good flavor. It simply just your basic breakfast and looks like the Pantry, but definitely not the Pantry. Something was missing. ‍ Would we be back.. maybe.

Los Angeles, CA. From what was a taco truck now has a b&m location. Two major surprises, Surprise #1. Aside from the fact that their tacos are famously delicious and authentic, their keto tacos and keto quesadillas are the best I've had--- amber brown colored nicely chewy cheese crust that is dahvine and sooo delicious. Soo delicious. And im NOT EVEN keto. Surprise #2. The workers at the now closed, after 101 years, Original Pantry in downtown El-Lay are working here!!! So you guessed it, the full Original Pantry breakfast menu lives strong here!!! Soul Food Mexican and OG American breakfast together, you'd think would not work but this large resto now holds lots of clients that eat both with gusto. Bam!! Come visit and get awed! Love "East Los Pantry" and East Los Tacos. End of Yelp.

East Los Tacos becomes East Los Pantry in the mornings . We came here specifically today because of the NBC video that mentioned today's proceeds are going towards their newest employees who were formally at The Pantry. Truly a great cause and also goes to show Erika the owner cares for the community. Baller move too because everyone can enjoy breakfast. We got there at 1030 and waited about 20 minutes to order. The food took longer than expected but it was truly busy so we didn't mind. Food was really good! We got the breakfast sampler and French toast plate. Their fresh squeezed OJ is bombbbb and I def would come back just for that. Everyone working there is super nice so be patient food takes awhile but it's worth it.

My friend took me here during lunch and it was so good. Like my mouth is still watering, good. The service was good, the girls were nice not over the top. The restaurant was clean, and all the tables were spaced out nicely. I didn't feel crowded. It was very modern and comfortable. A great place to hang out with family and friends. My food! I got a burrito bowl with Al Pastor. The food was excellent. The bowl was eaten there. The food I got togo was 2 asada quesadillas, 4 asada tacos and 2 cabeza tacos. It came out to under $45. My regret was I didn't get the strawberry milk. I'm coming back especially for that. Oh the salsas. There was a avocado salsa that what absolutely delicious! I can literally drink it! My friend let me try her East Los Taco and that is made with a hand pressed corn tortilla. That was yummy as well! Overall worth the hype.

Ordered the handmade corn tortillas soft tacos...al pastor and asada, both were generous portions of meat. Tender, flavorful. 5/5 My companion ordered the cabeza. She said it was good. Next time she wanted to try the lengua. She likes offal meats. To me, it looked grey and chunky, but she was definitely into it. Big thumbs up to the pina ( pineapple) agua frescos. Delicous and refreshing. 5/5 There's a salsa bar but we weren't told about it. 0/5 Not told when we ordered, not told when we came to the counter to pickup our food. Alas, the service wasn't all that friendly or welcoming, but they were patient as we tried to figure out how to order. 3/5 On the way to the restroom, at the end of our lunch, I saw the salsa bar... the onions, salsas, the other toppings. Oh well, doh!! Next time, we'll know to build the taco once receiving the base. It's a huge open restaurant. Modern, inviting, spacious. I liked the paintings and murals. The overhead tvs. Ambience 5/5. Public parking is across the street. Ample free parking just underneath the freeway ramp. Big plus, no one rushed us out. We ended up having a four-hour lunch. Great place for meetups and working lunches on weekdays. Eager to come back and try the burritos Also large menu of keto items!! 5/5

First time trying East Los Tacos I ordered the chicken Torta and I really enjoyed it chicken is flavorful and tender. My husband enjoyed his burrito mojado with carne asada not spicy but tasty. Service was friendly and fast. It's a clean open space with beautiful art.

Today I took four others to celebrate my friend's 65th birthday. The place was recommended through someone I follow on instagram & he suggested to try it out. @ Best of LA Food, David! Since we heard some chefs came from the original Pantry well we had to go! The food was pretty delicious! We had a variety of the breakfast items to try out! Pancakes I thoroughly enjoyed! Scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, sausage, sourdough toast and coffee ! Nothing disappointing about what we got. The food definitely could be hotter. It was barely warm. Service was great. The young lady at the register was very friendly and helpful. The girl I got our coffees from had a big smile & so kind. The guy walking around selling Dodgers T-shirts had a bubbly personality. The place was welcoming and plenty big. Simple decor and comfortable chairs and tables. The place was a little warm inside. Luckily we went early. Bathroom was clean but the toilet I first tried to use was full and almost flooded. Eek. Needs to be checked more often. Parking was easy. Plenty right across the street & behind the restaurant! Can't wait to go back.

Staff are friendly, everyone we spoke to was nice and helpful. We went early in the morning so there was no rushed, plenty of room, and food came out pretty fast. We were missing pantry food so decided to try them out, it was not a dissatisfaction, everything was good. The only issue for me was the pancakes, sadly not great for me. It was not too loud, clean and roomie. We parked on the street but it looks like there's parking in the back, yes, will come back!

Takes credit card Agua fresca $3.99- pretty good Taco $2.50 Taco with hand made corn tortilla $3.99- the corn tortilla is legit. You can tell it's handmade and it's soft, has texture, flavor. Salsa bar is in the corner. Al pastor- was good. Large portion of meat. Flavored well Cabeza- grilled well. A little drier than normal.

I love not having to miss the Pantry breakfast, I find it here same taste and same service. I like the fact that they have a crew that keeps the place clean and ready for you to enjoy your meal. The only thing I didn't enjoy was finding a vendor selling his products inside the restaurant. When I take the time to go out to eat, I like to go seat down, relax and enjoy my meal and not having to deal with a vendor while you are EATING asking if you want to buy something.. I really wish they would take care of this. My breakfast was delicious, potatoes, eggs, bacon and sourdough bread!

09/06/25 breakfast. First time visit. We came to support, but sadly won't be going back. The food was subpar. We had the Omlette, Sampler platter, and French Toast. The table sourdough toast was akin to a leathery chewy bread w an extremely light smear of butter. The sampler we left all the meats, not even worth taking. Omlette had American Cheese not cheddar, w a very brown over cooked egg. French toast was super dry, maple syrup did not help. Had to trim off the bottom underside it was so dry. Hash Brown Potatoes were as if they were sitting in low heat skillet w dried out bottoms. Forced to drench in ketchup, I don't believe in putting ketchup on "good" hash browns. Overall, a very bland breakfast, dry, overcooked, no love in the creation of dishes. Sitting under heat lamp type textures, So so sad.

Had to come here and try out the Los Pantry Menu since we heard the cooks were hired to work here when the iconic restaurant closed. Really good breakfast that yes tastes just like that closed LA fave. We had the original platter & the French toast platter that really took me back to how I always remembered it. The potato's TDF crispy and yummy the eggs cooked exactly as ordered. Want to come back and try out their tacos as we were eyeing them from a far. Can't wait to come back

With all the media hype I had to check this out. Had the breakfast sampler platter and coffee. Comes with bacon, eggs , sausage, ham, potatoes. First off the potatoes weren't seared or crispy and weren't seasoned, kinda like sad lumpy mash potatoes. The ham was a small slice piece less than expected for a sampler platter. Everything else was good , bacon crispy toast toasty, eggs medium as ordered. Portions and pricing was reasonable. Theres no servers so you have to go the counter and ask for a coffee refill. The place is a cross between counter style dining and a sit down but sadly you have to eat it with plastic utensils. I would understand if it were take out. The place is nice, clean, spacious, and accommodating. Plenty of street and free lot parking, a bonus and advantage over the original pantry. Would still come back to try the french toast and pancakes

A great sit down restaurant where you can also enjoy authentic tacos for cheap. The food came out very fast and the food was delicious. The corn tortillas are mildly crispy. Meat was very very savory and tender. I got the carne asada, pastor, lengua, and cabeza. They were all tasty and I would get all of them again. They do have a small parking lot behind the restaurant. It wasn't too crowded when we went, but not sure if that was the norm.

My husband and I were visiting family when we decided to stop for some delicious Mexican food. We had eaten here before when it was just a food truck, and everything was amazing back then. I especially love the asada and their salsa verde! Now, they have a spacious dining area, which makes the experience even better. The highlight, though, is the mural featuring Blood In, Blood Out along with autographs from the actors--if you're from the area, you'll really appreciate that touch. If you're looking for tasty food at reasonable prices, skip King Taco and check this place out instead. I highly recommend it!

Food comes out fast and it's so good! Parking in rear. Plenty of seating as well. Aguas Frescas were good. Fresa Con Leche was really creamy. Burrito Mojado - wasn't my favorite, green sauce had no taste. Burrito was wet but not moist. Everything didn't seem coherent at all. I'd pass on this next time I'm here. East Los Tacos come with handmade corn tortilla and they were great. Not too thick or dry at all, had a good texture to the tortilla. I'm not usually a fan of corn tortilla but these are good. Regular Tacos were great too but much smaller than East Los Tacos, they're more of street taco size. Al Pastor - tender, juicy and flavorful. Asada - flavorful and not dry at all.

If you're looking for the best torta I'm telling youuuu East Los Tacos literally has the best. Every bite is so perfect and their meat isn't over seasoned. I've also had their agua de piña and that's delicious as well! It looks like they've recently acquired new vendors located within the store too! We didn't get a chance to check them out but hopefully next time. Service is always on point everyone who works there is very kind and it's always a chill vibe inside. Can't recommend this place enough.

This s strictly for breakfast I ordered the Pancake platter Potato's were exactly as the pantry's recipe The bacon was nice and crispy but not the same product used at pantry The pancakes were exactly as pantry recipe the eggs were cooked as desired bet a little small but what do you expect with all that going on with eggs today. The the sturdy bread is from Frisco bakery same as the pantry's supplier ,it's a good the ex employees found jobs and have replicated the breakfast menu of the Pantry's fare hope other employees popup elsewhere and do the Steak menu which very good if you feeling nostalgic this a good place to have Breakfast. There is no table service and it's just a taco place that has a good breakfast

Finally had a chance to come back 4 weeks after my previous review and East Los Tacos can truly represent as East Los Pantry for the morning crowd. They are nailing it The coffee situation has improved and the omelets are using cheddar cheese. Ham was fine and the potatoes and sourdough toast were identical to the Original Pantry. I can now truly recommend this place as a replacement for the Original. For newbies, be aware that you line up and order at the counter and they'll hand you a buzzer and when you're order is ready, you pick up the trays at the counter. Wait time is about 5-10 minutes depending on the crowd. Plenty of tables and the place is spacious. If you need a refill on coffee, just head up to the counter. I do miss having waiters but it is just great to have most of the Pantry faves again. Kudos to East Los for working hard to get it right!!! I'll be back.

I heard good reviews about this restaurant and came to check it out for myself. I ordered two tacos de lengua and two tacos de tripas. Both were equally delicious. The lengua was nice & tender, and the tripas were perfectly crunchy and not chewy. The restaurant itself was very clean and in good order. The service was fast and the two young people at the counter were very friendly. I'm a happy camper and I'll definitely be back to try something else. Thank you!!

On a gloomy late Friday morning, I met with my friend for breakfast to go to East Los Pantry in Los Angeles. I saw a video where East Los was serving breakfast like the Original Pantry in Dwtn LA. We found a free public parking lot located across from East Los Pantry. Upon arriving there were two people ahead of us ordering. When it was our turn to order, groups of people got in line behind us. After ordering your food, you come to pick it up when it is ready. I ordered 2 egg platters, which included 2 eggs, potatoes, 2 sausage patties, sourdough toast and coffee. Great to see such a diverse crowd there. The signature potatoes, sourdough toast and the sausage patties were just like "The Original Pantry". Even the coffee was strong. I also ordered the signature "Sourdough French Toast" for my mom to go. After bringing it home, on her first bite she said "This is The Original Pantry's French Toast. Thank you East Los Pantry for a dining experience well done. I will be back.

First time at this restaurant. I had the most delicious tacos and burrito de asada ! Amazing flavor and the meat and best of all is that is not fatty. Personally thats a big one for me. The sauces are soooo good Service is very quick and it's a very great spot to bring your friends and family; even if you are a big group. They have lots of tables and they have neat art representing East LA on the walls. This is my new favorite tacos spot! recommend!

Oscar M.

Yelp
They say they are East Los Pantry. Not even close. Their sourdough bread was cut to thin and was very hard to bite and very very chewy. There French toast was dry potatoes under cooked Tried a taco de asada and very dry more like Chicharrones. Maybe because they chopped it very fine and overcooked.

We usually come here for tacos which is pretty good. Today we stopped by in the morning to try out the new pantry and I was extremely disappointed! The food was tasteless, needed salt. Especially the potatoes, it was giving soggy hash-brown. But the worse part was when i was eating my pancake sharing with my daughter and as I got to the middle of the pancake the batter came out. My pancake was not fully cooked at all. Extremely disappointed. I will say the gentlemen on the floor were very attentive with picking up plates and cleaning tables for new customers to sit at.

I've been here before for tacos and burrito and love their carne asada & al pastor meats because the meat is well seasoned and flavorful but man they upped it a level with the East Los pantry breakfast platers. The cooks are displaced workers from The Original Pantry in Los Angeles who now work at East Los Tacos. To the owner, that was a great move. The breakfast can feed 2 people and it's reasonably priced. We had the chorizo omlette with the pantry signature hashbrowns and toast and the eggs, bacon, hashbrowns with pancakes , we didn't realize the huge portions and ended up taking 1/2 of each home. They do get busy, you'll be standing in line for a bit to order food. Breakfast was served from 7 am to 2 pm. There are no reservations so bring your patience, especially if you have a large group. Also, have patience for your food because they do get busy, you're food may take a bit longer. East Los Tacos also specializes in some great antojitos like the viral Dubai Chocolate strawberry's. Thank you to the owner for bringing in the pantry guys, we love every minute of that breakfast. Parking is across the street but beware on a Sunday or gets packed because of church. There's a catholic church & victory outreach in the area

Came to try this place out with my partner. Place is really big and spacious. We wanted to try the Breakfast since I guess the food is practically from The original Pantry, so they said. To be honest, stay away from the breakfast here, literally had no flavor what so ever, super disappointed. We got the French toast with egg, sausage and "hash browns" the hash browns were disgusting, it didn't seem fully cooked and I'm assuming it had cheese or something but it was super watery. French toast tasted like frozen French toast lacking flavor all around. I was surprised at the amount of people that enjoyed it when we were there, not sure could be wrong. Overall stay away for the breakfast not sure how everything else tastes, but def not coming back. Over priced as well.

The restaurant itself was big. Our group of 7 was able to order and sit down quickly. Our food came out not so long after. You order at the counter and seat yourself. There's a salsa bar to the side and it comes with four varieties. All of the salsas have a good flavor to them but I was missing the heat. I still appreciate the variety. I ordered a 32 oz Fresca con leche and though it was good I found myself adding more ice to water down the sweetness. I ordered three tacos- two asada and one tripa taco along with an east Los taco (which is the hand pressed corn tortilla) with al pastor. I enjoyed the tacos! I probably enjoyed the asada more. The pastor meat was a bit oily. Overall I'd come back!

This is a pretty solid Mexican spot. I ordered horchata and two street tacos with asada and Al pastor. The Al pastor had great flavor and texture, it was very good! The asada was good but I think the Al pastor was superior. They have an awesome spread of salsa to dress your tacos. There are about 3 types of green salsa and a few red salsas, diced onions, cilantro, and cucumbers. They have a lot of seating as well with a selection of booths and tables.

I've driven by a few times and decided to stop. The service was quick. I ordered three tacos. Tripas, cabeza and al pastor. Tripas are my favorite and they were tasty. I would've liked them a little crunchier, but good nonetheless. The cabeza was delicious! Seasoned well and nice and tender. The al pastor also had a lot of flavor. Although there was only two child's to choose from they were both tasty and went well with my choice of tacos. Definitely going back. The tortas looked delicious
