HomeState

Great location and setup. Parking is hit or miss but paid street parking is available. It's nice inside and plenty of seating. Sturdy seats and benches available. The staff was friendly and attentive. Food is bland and quality was that of a lackluster hotel breakfast buffet. Canned Tepache was ¡no bueno! I didn't have any alcohol, so maybe that's HomeState's saving grace... 🤔

The tacos of this place were phenomenal. Easily some of the best LA has to offer. It has a huge line for a reason. Lots of people are doing take out I've noticed. But I found eating them immediately is the best way to do it.

Ordered catering from here a couple times and it's always been a hit. Employees are helpful and service is great. Tacos are delicious and large. Highly recommend their brisket, Tijuana Panther and Chicano Batman (for a vegan option). Their queso is amazing as well.

HomeState is a Californian fast casual restaurant that is expanding to more locations throughout Los Angeles and California. I actually live very close to their original LA location but if I am close to one of their other spots, I love to stop by, check out the space, and enjoy some delicious breakfast and regular tacos. My pet's vet is a short walk from the Ventura Blvd location so I stopped by recently. The first thing I wanted to mention is that this HomeState location has one of the nicest outdoor patios I have ever personally been to. The communal dining picnic tables and aesthetics helps create a warm, welcoming place to enjoy a meal. The staff at every single location I've been to are always very friendly and attentive. This location was no different. Everyone I met was kind and friendly. The decor is energetic and distinct. But the main star of the HomeState show is the food. They have aTexMex menu with lots of items but I can never seem to stray from the taco menu, and usually breakfast tacos no matter the time of day. They have their own hand-made flour tortillas that are incredible and then they fill them with generous, tasty combinations. The gold star goes to the always excellent brisket taco. But all three I had were excellent. One thing I really like is how fluffy and fresh their eggs are. There are also some house made salsas to go with the food, both are excellent. It looked like there was a small parking lot connected to the location. I walked over from the vet. But this area of Ventura Blvd is not hard to find street parking.

Got the cookie milk iced coffee, the cool down, Loaded queso & Tijuana panther. The cookie milk iced coffee was really tasty, slightly sweet and nice subtle cookie flavor. The cool down drink was really refreshing, super bubbly and had a good lime flavor. The queso was pretty tasty, it wasn't too thick and had good flavors. Red and green sauce is pretty tasty. The Tijuana Panther Taco was good, tasted great with their sauces. The portions are not very big so you can probably eat two or three tacos. It's a nice place, located on the corner with a tiny parking lot or parking on the street. Staff was pleasant. Plenty of seating outside and some inside. Prices are fair

Ordered pickup. First of all, your new online system that pushes your new app is terrible. It also didn't email me an itemized copy of the receipt (which begs the question why did you ask for my email address when I placed the order?). On top of that, of the 2 tacos I ordered, you only put one in the bag. I picked up about 15 minutes before closing, by the time I got home it was 3 minutes past closing time, and you stop answering your phone. So no way to remedy that. Terrible job.

Highly recommend! Stopped in for breakfast but ended up having lunch. Wow, these tacos are great. I had multiple kinds, but the potato tacos were my favorite. Homemade tortillas, maybe fried, filled with potato, season lettuce, melted crisp cheese, and maybe sour cream. Priced reasonably. The queso was amazing! Definitely recommend!!

My friend recommended Homestate to me so I came by to try them for lunch. It is a pleasent establishment with counter service and a decent variety on their menu. I was turned off at first because of the price for their tacos not expecting them to be so much, however when our order arrived at our table I understood why. Their tacos are quiet large. One is almost enough for a whole meal. I tried the chicken and Picadillo tacos enjoyed them both. However, I'm not a fan of massive tacos like these. It almost felt a bit like a chore to eat just one due to their size. All of the ingredients were great and the tortilla suprisingly held up but it was definitely a bit of a mess. I also tried their Queso and Guac both of which were fantastic. I ordered a big queso cause I thought the lil might have been too small and boy was I wrong. A lil would've been enough. Overall, Homestate is a nice place with friendly staff and some decent food.

This is the first time that I have eaten at the HomeState location, usually I grab the tacos to go. So first, let me say that I loved the vibe. It is a perfect spot for a summer meal. They offer open seating which was not at all crowded. The weather was great and it was just such a relaxing evening. The ordering process is pretty straightforward. Walk up to the counter, order your food, they give you a number and deliver when it is ready. On the subject of drinks, expect an awesome variety of interesting beverages. On the night that we went, they had two varieties of margaritas, one was spicy and so interesting. The staff was incredibly helpful and even offered us tastings to ensure that we didn't order something we wouldn't like. The menu is fairly simple. I always order the potato tacos, at five dollars you cannot beat it. They are absolutely delicious. So whether you want to dine in, or take out HomeState is a perfect option if you're looking for a reasonably priced delicious meal.

HomeState is a wildly popular, expanded taco stand that aims to satisfy a wide array of cravings and succeeds from breakfast through dinner. The indoor/outdoor set-up, featuring counter seating, 2-tops, 4-tops and larger, communal picnic tables, makes it easy for singles, couples and larger groups to nestle into whatever arrangement works for them and start having a good time from the get-go. You order at the counter and get a number, so this is a fast casual spot, but it's upgraded well beyond the norm in this category. The decor is rustic and convivial, with faux incandescent string lights giving the place a warm, homey feel. They've got a liquor license, so beers and wines and slushy cocktails are also on the menu. You can definitely have yourself a time. The menu of tacos is straight forward and relatively simple, but all the ingredients are top notch, and the flavors are memorable. For breakfast, I had the Pecos Taco, which was fresh scrambled eggs and a slow roasted brisket that pretty much melted in my mouth. I chose to add some cheddar cheese; it was a nice bonus, but the taco would most definitely be fine without it, which is how they have it on the menu, as if they know something about it I also grabbed a side of their crispy potatoes with tomatillo ranch. There's nothing earth-shatteringly new about these spuds, but they are fresh and crisp and nicely seasoned, and a perfect compliment to the tacos. The house-made ranch gained a touch of flavor from the tomatillos, but I could have taken even more flavor to make it a bit more special. A duo of house-made salsas are brought with your order: salsa verde and salsa roja. Both offer great flavor without too much heat, but other hot sauces are available if you want to boost the fire. This is a great place to kick back with some simple, well-prepared and very tasty food. And the covered patio offers a perfect cross-breeze in the morning.

I have been enjoying their delicious food for sometime now, but my last visit turned out to be the kind of experience one can see in the movies. Last Monday, I had an appointment very near HomeState and my plan was to stop by after I was done. Unfortunetly, something came up and I had to drive to Woodland Hills and I was finally done by 7:30 pm. I was starving and I passed by several other favorite places to eat, but I made up my mind to eat at HomeState regardless. By the time I arrived and placed my order, I realized that I left my credit card behind, besides feeling embarrassed and starvation to death, I didn't know what to do until I was told please don't worry, your food is ready for you to eat. I couldn't believe Argentina who is the manager overheard the conversation and told the kind cashier to offer the food to me as a kind gesture and tell me please enjoy it. I personally expressed my gratitude to Argentina and asked her if she saw the movie called, " Straw"? She said," I saw that heart warming movie and she added, this place is your home too." Tears rolled down my face and I told her how much her kind words meant to me as I was hugging her. People like her deserve to be recognized. Thank you dear Argentina for your kind act.

Great spot for tacos! They have an outdoor patio with seating, casual vibes. Good for a meetup with friends or a casual date. You order and pay inside and they bring out your food when it's ready. I got three tacos on their house-made flour tortillas. I got chicken, brisket and Fort Worth (chicken with bacon and jalapeños). They come individually wrapped in foil. They were pretty generously filled! Beware the tortilla gets a little soggy and messy depending on the taco you get, so be prepared with napkins. I liked the brisket one the best by far. Next I liked the Fort Worth, the chicken was a little bland. I recommend adding hot sauce and their salsa to the tacos too, gives it more flavor and kick. Nice service here too!

Beans were SO yummy ~ I didn't think I'd like beans like that but these are my favorite! Andy's (soyrizo was also tasty) , crispy potatoes were solid potatoes. Potato taco was pretty good but was a nice reprieve since it had the most veggies compared to the other items. The food was delicious! I was just SO exhausted afterwards bc it was all sooo heavy. ‍ Would definitely eat here again if I was passing through, the atmosphere was so cute just like Austin!

Please check your cameras between 2-2:20 I came in to pick up an order and it was ready the whole time but they told me it wasn't and it was literally two sides of beans and tortilla to go. Stood there for 10 minutes while everyone talked to each other and didn't do shit for work or were kind or friendly. Then finally someone steps in to ask another person to check my order. Guy looks in the area he looked before grabs my bag that's BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME and give it to me. I get home and I'm missing all the tortillas. Insane how these employees get away with garnishing a business reputation by being unkind not helpful and standing around doing time card theft. I would honestly send secret shoppers in here over the next two months and see for yourself. You could save a lot on labor costs by cutting out a couple of these employees who half ass their shift anyway. Disappointed, inconvenienced and wasted money on product not received. Also tried calling seven times to get ahold of a manager for a resolution or refund and of course. No answer.

When I'm in LA, HomeState always finds its way into my dinner rotation. The Sherman Oaks location is a new fave: the patio looked lovely from the inside, and the employees were so lovely! The interior section was spacious, with an open kitchen - you might see them making tortillas as you wait to place your order, a fun touch. I had always wanted to try their loaded queso, and I wasn't starving, so today was the day. They certainly did not skimp on any of the toppings, and the brisket was fab. The portion was big enough I had some leftover. I opted for the Chicano Batman taco, which had nicely seasoned potatoes. The real star, however, was the frozen strawberry margarita. If you're there when it's in season, try it! You will not be disappointed. It's was perfectly refreshing on a warm day.

Ate next door walked by here and was able to get this big margarita on happy hour ! Asked for a tahin rim ! Yummy spicy and I hear it has more alcohol than the rocks .... Whoa !! Sat pn the patio nice cozy vibe . Would come back for sure !

Fantastic place for delicious tacos & much more! Whether you prefer corn or flour tortillas- they make them fresh everyday and they are delicious! My favorite taco is the pico which is slow roasted brisket and scrambled eggs in a tortilla. The service is always a 10/10. Everyone is super friendly. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating with a small parking lot right on the side of the restaurant. It's a very open & airy space. There's something for everyone here.

HomeState is a local staple at this point. The Trinity tacos are my absolute FAVORITE. The taco comes with Bacon, Egg and potatoes. They also bring two bottles, one red and one green, to top your taco with. Please spare yourself the Cholula, TRY THEIR HOMEMADE SALSA! It's not spicy but it adds PLENTY of flavor to everything. The service is always very quick and friendly. Their price-point is a bit above than average but they invest in their ingredients by providing pasteurized juices and Vital Farm pasture raised eggs. I recommend ordering 1-3 tacos. I typically got with 2 and a side of spuds with their tomatillo ranch and am absolutely STUFFED.. Please get the spuds, they're to die for. Especially with the queso. We go here on a weekly basis for breakfast and occasional early lunch.

My first time here. Go up to the counter, order your food, take a number, find a seat. We tried a nice variety of tacos, including the Tijuana Panthers, Ft. Worth, The Brisket and the Picadillo, all with there special flour tortillas. We also had the Cowboy Cup with charriso and beans. Everything was flavorful and tasty. HomeState has a good product and the service was friendly and helpful. Ok, I get it HomeState.

I am so happy that Home State in now in the Valley! Best breakfast tacos EVER. Try the Trinity (egg, potato, bacon, cheddar), try the Blanco (egg white, mushroom, and cheese), try the Pecos (eggs and brisket). For lunch, DO NOT MISS the Frito Pie!!! Always be sure to check out their Band Tacos. I currently love the Fort Worth taco: spicy achiote chicken, crispy bacon, lettuce, pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, tomatillo ranch. The Tijuana Panther is also fantastic: shredded brisket, queso, potatoes, pico de gallo I am sad that they took away their Bunuelos except for special occasions. Maybe HomeState will bring them back if I beg them. Pleeeeeeeeeaasssse bring them back! The vibe here is always happy and fast. Good eats and good times at HomeState, authentic Tex-Mex!

Visited on Saturday 8/9/2025 at 9pm and the indoor area was almost empty while the outdoor patio was completely full. Ordered a frozen spicy paloma, brisket taco, queso, chili brisket quesadilla, and chocolate chip cookie. Everything was delicious! I will say, I've gotten the frozen spicy paloma for years and last night it seemed way spicier/less sweet than usual, which was fine, but I definitely prefer it sweeter and not as spicy!

After another visit to HomeState and another amazing meal. I gotta say... this place is the spot! Great food, service with a smile and the ambiance is very refreshing. If you haven't had an opportunity to have a meal here.. you are missing out. I will be returning!!!! Get Some!! Enjoy! @jshoeats #jsho

God I loveeeeee this place. The flour tortillas are incredible. Just walking in, the scent of this place is salivating. I think the quesadilla is slept on. Super affordable and absolutely delicious. Wasn't a fan of their coffee but who cares, it's a Mexican place. It's like a better Chipotle. Took my mom here and she loved it! Will be back. I need to try the alcoholic slushie drinks.

Glad this location is still around- their breakfast tacos and drinks are so good. I forget that they're on Ventura sometimes- need to make it out to Sherman oaks more often.

I thought the service was amazing. The people who worked there seemed happy to be there and were so kind and patient with me. It was my first time there, so I had so many questions. They had some really good looking frozen margaritas, but I purchased the brisket and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually very moist and had great flavor. I love the outdoor seating. It's definitely a place I'd come back to.

I recently tried HomeState for the first time, and this is my 9th year living in LA! The long lines definitely were one of the reasons I didn't want to come here, but I can see what the hype is about. The location in sherman oaks a bit more relax and I love all of the outdoor seating they offer. I ended up ordering chips and guacamole with potato tacos, I did also order one of the Chicano batman (soydillo) tacos. I wasnt a huge fan of soydillo but I think it's because I've just been eating less processed vegetarian options. The potato tacos and chips and guacamole were super yummy! Overall I would definitely come back but it would be more of a once a month event.

Went on a whim and was such a happy surprise. They have a tiny lot with about 4 spots in the back. A little on the pricey side (each taco was about $5-$6) but I think the taste makes it worth it. The chicken was my favorite since it had a nice sauce and the cabbage gave it a crunch. The regular brisket was a bit dry so I added a lot of salsa to make up for it. Sat outside around 1 pm and just had a nice vibe with the food. Service was very nice and quick with cleaning the tables. Would recommend.

Those people are so stupid. They allowed Mistral Restaurant's valet to set up tables in front of Home State, taking over the entire space, and wouldn't let Home State's customers even stop for a second in front of their own restaurant. Home State's parking lot was full, and when I just stopped for a moment to pick up an order in front of Home State, Mistral's valet started arguing with me. The owner of Home State must be an idiot--Mistral's business is more important to them than their own customers; otherwise, they would never allow this.

Big portions, fast service, chill vibes. Takeout app works flawlessly. Prices on the higher side for tacos but so is quality of ingredients.

Boom! The food and staff were great!! The patio is such a great addition to the boulevard. I went with co workers and we each got two tacos and shared a large queso. The ingredients were fresh and had great flavor. The queso was rad. Their iced teas were refreshing and they offer free refills. We also took two tacos back for another coworker, who has a gluten allergy, and they were really helpful with that! The food is really satisfying and filling, I didn't eat dinner that night. For 8 tacos, 1 large queso and 1 drink the bill was $60. Reasonable by today's standards. Next time I'm working from the office, I'll definitely stop in.

We had another wonderful experience at HomeState. The food was delicious (your brisket & trinity tacos are amazing), and the service was execeptional. Joseph is so accommodating and such a lovely person. He's the type of person one wants to encounter in the hospitality business. Keep up the great service and delicious food. We love going to HomeState in Sherman Oaks.

Probably the roomiest HOMESTATE location I've been to. As usual the food tastes great and best quality. They now have rewards/loyalty program. Our family recommends- Trinity, Blanco, Guadalupe, Pecos as our faves. The cheese is awesome, everything is fresh. Tortillas are like what my mother in law makes. Warning: lines can be quite long in the morning, but it's all worth the wait. Enjoy! Food: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Service: 5+/5 Price: 4.5/5

This is a fantastic spot for delicious tacos! The service is attentive, and the ambiance is great. I'll definitely be back to try the breakfast burritos and margaritas!

I have seen and heard only great things about HomeState from friends and others on social media, so I finally went to try it. There's such a loyal, cult-like following (good cult, not Netflix documentary worthy cult), and after meeting the owners and trying the food, I now know why. First off, the location is great and the space is open, warm, and has plenty of room for groups. I love that the sisters who own HomeState make the customer feel like family, and draw from family recipes and traditions for their food. And to that point, the food was great. I tried the Trinity, Pecos, and Guadalupe tacos, with my favorite being the Trinity. The Pecos (brisket) taco is good, but keep in mind it's not smoked brisket. I only mention because HomeState has done a collab with Aaron Franklin, but this is a normal brisket...very moist and flavorful though. The ingredients at HomeState are fresh and there is a great balance of flavors in each taco. Although I ordered corn tortillas, definitely check out the homemade flour tortillas which are now available for purchase by the dozen. They are delicious! Because it was 9am I didn't try the margarita (excuses, excuses) but they looked amazing! Reading the ingredients will make you want one. Everyone working at HomeState was very nice, and the owners really care about creating a positive environment and making people happy via the food they serve. It's nice to see people who love what they do and who take so much pride in making their patrons happy. Definitely check out HomeState...it's all heart and no hype!

We had this in Glendale and it was great! Hopefully this is just a one off, our tacos were soaked in oil. Not just from the inside, but on the outside as well we wound up, throwing out our order. The cashier wasn't as friendly, but the staff that made the tacos and brought me our order were super nice

I am a big fan of HomeState. I love coming here for their breakfast tacos. My go to tacos are Don't Mess with Texas, Trinity, and Pecos. The brisket is flavorful and the refried beans with their bacon is a wonderful combination. I am very particular with scrambled eggs and they make them perfectly every time. HomeState also has a nice vibe and energy in the place. Enjoy a Ranch Water while you're there.

All the tacos here are great. Service is always friendly. Easy to find a place to sit outside and the guacamole is .

THEY DO NOT HAVE THE SANDWICH! I like home state and I'm proud to say I was one of their first customers. Now they are over priced and very stingy with the avocado. Also, the frozen drinks are not as they used to (strong). Go to a Mexican taco stand instead!

I tried this place last year when they first opened and they were fantastic. I figured it was time to return and see how they are doing now. The answer: Still fantastic. You order at a walk-up counter and have many choices. I choose the Trinity taco, eggs, bacon and cheese on a homemade flour tortilla and the Frio, basically a smokey bean and cheese taco. I received a number to plane on my table and headed out to the patio to wait for my food. It came out quickly and was outstanding. They brought me their homemade red and green salsas on the side. I used the green sauce on the Trinity and the red sauce on the Frio. Both sauces were of the hook delicious by themselves and complemented the food, too. The patio is a great place to sit and watch the traffic and pedestrians. If the weather is not to your liking, you can also eat inside. My only complaint would be the parking is tough. Their lot is very same and usually full. Try parking on Greenbush Ave. It has a two hour limit, enough time to eat and get back on the road. This is a must stop for breakfast or lunch anytime you are in the Sherman Oaks area.

Cute little restaurant with taco options and They serve drinks. Kid and animal friendly ! Good for afternoon lunch or early dinner.

Breakfast taco inspired from San Antonio. Very good excepting the brisket, not at all like the moist brisket in San Antonio, more like Mexican shredded beef, without the flavor. Apparently it is dog friendly, there were three that i saw. One of the owners allowed her dog to drink out of a water glass, and fed it directly from a steel fork that you or I might use next!! Very off-putting! I've raised, shown, bred, and train dog, I would never allow a dog to drink / eat off of restaurant settings.

Good food good atmosphere good service. good drinks. I like it so much that I'm actually going there today for Cinco de Mayo.

Bacon breakfast tacos are the best. The migas really awesome too. Brisket is tasty. Yum yum yum all around at this place

Good taco spot in Sherman oaks I loved the nice patio vibe and good happy hour on margaritas I got a trio of tacos potato taco, Breakfast taco and a brisket taco all tasted very good will be coming back

When I wake HUNGRY AF I go to HomeState for the Trinity, the brisket and eggs, and the chicken taco. I really only need two tacos, but they're all so good. I order three anyway and I take one home for snack. The tacos are very filling and worth the price. I was apprehensive to try it because I really like traditional style tacos from Mexican places, but now I've eaten at HomeState every time I drive by. Even though the tacos are filling, it feels clean, I always feel good after. Could be the freshly made tortillas? They are delicious and not too heavy. I prefer a flour tortilla over corn. Try it!

This spot is a home away from home when it comes to breakfast tacos. When you walk in the entrance, you might get lucky and see one of the cooks making fresh tortillas on a flat top. The space is bright, airy, and organic, complete with a wide open kitchen to see while you're waiting in line. Everything we've ever had on the menu is delicious. Go-to's are the Trinity Breakfast Taco and the Short Rib Quesadilla. DONT be fooled by the size of all these small plates, though - you'll be full! Margs are great and they've got Happy Hour from 3-5 PM Monday through Wednesday. Their seating is primarily outdoors, but it's a cozy covered patio with space heaters if necessary. Tables are either your standard dining table or picnic benches which are fun. Dog friendly and they've got little water cups for your pup, too.

Really great breakfast tacos with homemade flour tortillas! My fave is the blanco but they have a wide variety to choose from. They also have a chocolate chip milk cookie which was unique and super tasty, not too sweet. Bonus points for having an open patio with tons of seating, great spot to have a snack or drink outside!

Great flavors, great outdoor patio to enjoy the afternoon and evening. Margarita was nice and strong. Just a lack of menu options. Lots of friendly staff

We frequent the Atwater location which is a hipster hangout, so it was really neat that the Valley was deemed cool enough for this great taco place. As a family, we've tried almost every taco on the menu, but we keep going back to the various breakfast tacos. Incredibly addictive, especially when paired with the crispy potatoes which are a must side. Their flour tortillas are the star of the show, so whatever tacos you get will be a satisfying experience. In terms of ambience, this Sherman Oaks location is on par with the others, but on a nice weather day, the large outside area is a chill place to hang and have a couple margaritas with friends. We've never experienced the long lines, but if there is one, this place is worth the wait.

GREAT atmosphere. Dog and kids friendly seating area. Great/friendly service for a quick service restaurant. They have a lot of great options for tacos and the tacos are pretty filling. Their homemade tortillas are the best!

quick and easy spot for breakfast tacos on a weekend morning! my favorites were the turkey and potato tacos (on a flour tortilla of course). the slaw in the potato tacos was extra fresh and added extra texture. since it was chilly outside, they had heating lamps spread out among the tables. I think I would have preferred if the tacos weren't taped up? just because I like when the flour tacos are a little crispy at the edges. however, I did appreciate the detail of the tape being labeled to show which taco was which.

This order at the counter has it all correct. Incredible tacos filled with flavor and not skimping on ingredients. The Trinity taco was beyond delicious and seasoned perfectly. There is a large "outdoor" area which can get very loud between the patrons enjoying food and beverages (oh try the pineapple fermented drink or the hibiscus) and the zooming traffic on the road. Great staff happy to help at any time. I'll be back next time I'm in town!

Stopped by at 8:00 am on a weekday. This is a large, attractive and spacious location with an interior with ac and a large exterior garden like room with two large airy openings. They accept only Cards as payment, no cash. I disagree with that. I ordered one Blanco which had eggs whites, jack cheese and mushrooms in a flour tortilla- this was very good- the flour in house made tortillas are delicious; and one Frio with flour because I liked that charro refried beans taste I had at their Playa location- this was very good again. The both tacos are heavy for their size. This is a good TexMex place. I also tried the small Queso which is too watered down and not cheesy and doesn't stick to a chip. I won't order it again unless they change they recipe. I did order their coffee which came in a ceramic cup! They get their coffee from the Mierisch Family Farms which is a higher end coffee from Nicaragua (they also have some farms in Honduras) . Really excellent coffee, drank it black of course. They do sell their coffee beans in a 12 ounce package for about $14. Great price! Next time I going to try their ranch salad or their classic migas. Frozen margaritas if after 6pm. All menu items are reasonably priced. I met the manager Maggie who was informative and very pleasant. All the staff I encountered were helpful and friendly. The Valley is lucky to have this place.

Homestate is the place to bring your family when they are visiting from out of town. Homestate has a delicious menu, with classic flavors that will impress anyone who stops by. For folks who don't eat meat, I recommend the potato taco and the Emo taco-you will certainly enjoy it. If you like a good taco (for breakfast or dinner!), this is the place to go. I like that you can sit outside, or pick a spot inside to watch the staff prepare each order. The restaurant is clean, the staff are friendly, and the energy is always positive. The atmosphere is fun, with a great view of Ventura Boulevard to take in while you enjoy your meal. This place is a solid option if you want something quick, fun, and supremely delicious!

I really enjoyed my Elite visit to HomeState this morning. I was looking forward to the Trinity taco which is a breakfast taco made with pasture raised eggs, bacon, cheddar cheese and potatoes and I have to say I was not disappointed. It tasted as good as I thought it would. My family is from Texas so that is another reason I had to try this place. It's a nice spot and in a good location but parking is a little tough with Ventura business but eventually you will find a park. I liked the ambiance and it smelled delicious when you walk in the door. Very friendly staff. I will be back.
