Famous Isaac's Cafe

"The hulking Dispatch Hall Burrito at Isaac’s Cafe in Wilmington is named for its apparent popularity with workers at the longshoreman staff hall just across the street. And frankly, it’s hard to imagine a better breakfast if you’re moving around thousands of pounds of freight at the Port of LA each day. This burrito is filled with fluffy rice and stewed beans, soft and cheesy scrambled eggs, crisp bacon, and they don't skimp on the avocado. They’ll even let you substitute in carne asada if that’s your thing. We suggest asking for an extra cup of their salsa verde, which is sharp and tangy from raw tomatillos." - nikko duren, garrett snyder

"L.A. Taco has a handy guide to the city of Wilmington’s dining scene, from the iconic Mexican restaurant Isaac’s Cafe and its incredible burritos to Mariscos Rosarito’s tasty shrimp taco dorados." - Matthew Kang

"Venture into Wilmington’s semi-industrial landscape and discover the no-frills but charming Isaac’s Cafe. The neighborhood restaurant has been serving South Bay locals for decades. The restaurant is silent save for the gentle hum of daytime TV, with regulars sitting on the worn banquettes feasting on chile verde and monstrous Dispatch Hall breakfast burritos." - Eater Staff
