Reviews for Angry Egret Dinette in Los Angeles, CA

I've been here several times, and every time I've been here, the food has been amazing. The staff is very friendly and... welcoming, and add to the experience. I love sitting outdoor while I enjoy meal, and listen to the music they provide. Read more

Ok, I know the photo doesn't look like anything too special, but having tried tacos all over, this place is special. Go for taco... Thursdays. It's unreal. A lot of reviews about a lot of places might say this, but make no mistake these are among the besttacos I've ever had. Handmade corn tortillas, excellent quality meat and fish, the tripa was even incredible which is usuallynot my thing. Go hungry, eat everything, and thank these folks for their gastronomic service to the planet. I'd give their tacosa sixth star if I could. Read more

I read about this place when they gor nominated by the James Beard Award for best new restaurant. We were excited to go this... past Saturday. I was expecting something fancy and big but it was very quaint space and diner vibe. I loved the fact a placegets nominated and doesn't have to be pretentious and white glove. My issue with the place was the menu. The menu was verylimited. When I looked up the pictures on yelp they didn't have many of the sandwiches and/or items. When I asked the cashierthey explain that sometimes the menu changes. That stinks for us because I guess we showed up when there weren't many options.Whatever we ordered tasted really good but nothing I would say that I have come back. Overall, glad that I went had decent timewith the family. Read more

I don't know why there isn't a line out the door for this place, it feels like going to an incredible restaurant in coastal... Mexico except for the prices, ha. The dinner menu was special and delicious, a lot of things you won't find at any otherrestaurant and a few local seafood items. Small but nice selection of beer and wine. The service was excellent and they evengave us tres leches for free because it was my friend's birthday. I recommend it! Read more

Came here after a hike to grab a bite. We ordered 2 burritos to try, the Hey Porky's and the Mc Torta. Let me just say, you HAVE... to try the Hey Porky's burrito, my goodness, the combination of every ingredient just comes together so perfectly. We will beback to get the porky burrito and try other items, great job!! In my picture, the top one is Hey Porky and the bottom is McTorta. Read more

Angry Egret Dinette has not yet resumed indoor dining room service, so we ordered from one window, claimed some outdoor seating,... until they called my name, and I collected the to-go packages at the other window. When I picked up the food I said somethingabout it looking good and the man replied that we had ordered the good stuff. There were four specials on the menu that day,and my wife and I shared three of them. Wonderful. I won't try to describe the dishes, I wouldn't do them justice. And asspecials, they might never be on the menu again. But they were stunning. Fine dining, prepared with imagination and skill. Thisis not commodity fare nor is it inexpensive. Yes, it came in plastic packages and we had to collect it at the proper windowourselves, but it was a fine experience. We were treated well, our table was pleasant, and the food was stunning. Compare forcontrast my review of the very disappointing Steep LA, just a few doors down. Read more

I love the outdoor space and their murals. The service is friendly but a bit thin. I enjoyed the sea bass ceviche but the... shrimp tacos shined. I've had their breakfast sandwich on a different occasion and it was ok. The menu changes and thebreakfast to lunch menu changeover is definitely on island time so come here for a laidback casual food hang and enjoy peoplewatching and LA weather. If the coffee was better I'd be there every weekend. Read more
