Jerry’s Famous Deli

"I like pastrami. I like breakfast burritos. So, obviously, I love pastrami breakfast burritos. The best one I’ve found is at Jerry’s Patio Cafe & Bar, the Marina del Rey spot that takes the best bits of the menu from Jerry’s Famous Deli (the former tenant that closed in 2017, after a 20-year-run) - namely, their pastrami and latkes - and wraps them up inside a flour tortilla. They also stuff in fluffy scrambled eggs, smashed avocado, caramelized onions, Gruyere and cheddar cheeses, and some smoky, slightly sharp salsa, making this a breakfast and lunch kind of affair. Have I had it for both meals? Definitely. Is it a bad thing that Jerry’s is within waddling distance of my apartment? The jury’s still out. -JM" - The Infatuation Los Angeles Crew

"Jerry’s, a classic deli in Marina Del Rey, is running its holiday special through 12/25 for holiday meals. The $200 meals for five-to-six have options for each course, including matzo ball soup, brisket, corned beef, crispy potato latkes, and blueberry cheesecake. Order pick-up or delivery online." - Brett Keating

"After ending a 20-year-run in 2017 - and a brief stint as Starks - Jerry’s Famous Deli recently returned to Marina del Rey as Jerry’s Patio Cafe & Bar. Which is great news for me, because I live within literal walking distance of this place. Not surprisingly, they’ve focused on a lot of the original’s signatures - big deli sandwiches, matzo ball soup, latkes - and their breakfast burrito doesn’t stray far from that strategy. So it’s a good thing that pastrami and latkes are fantastic when wrapped in a flour tortilla, especially with fluffy eggs, smashed avocado, caramelized onions, and plenty of cheese. And while that might sound like the kind of breakfast that’ll put you down until lunch, the eggs and avocado make it pretty light, and the smoky salsa pairs well with the salty pastrami and savory latkes. Above all, it’s supremely satisfying; a worthy addition to a menu full of comfort classics - and like I said, I didn’t have to walk far to make it back to my couch." - James Montgomery

"This iconic Marina deli recently reopened, with a focus on the original’s menu of comfort classics, and a brand-new outdoor space. It’s a great place to try their pastrami breakfast burrito - one of LA’s best." - Brett Keating, James Montgomery

"After ending a 20-year-run in 2017, Jerry’s Famous Deli was reopened as Stark’s in 2019. But now, they’ve reverted to their previous incarnation - kind of. Rechristened as Jerry’s Patio Cafe & Bar, they’re offering comforting deli classics like corned beef and pastrami sandwiches, soups, salads, and cocktails for outdoor dining. Delivery and takeout also available." - James Montgomery
