Tom's Burgers is a bucket list for those who have not tried this neighborhood gem and staple of East L.A. restaurants. I grew up blocks from here on Eastman Ave. and still live in the area and I remember the old crew who worked there. Tonio is the only remaining cook from that old crew and he still remembers me being taken their as a baby. He knew my whole family cause we all grew up on Tom's Burgers. There was no other burger place like it back in the day so it was and still is the spot for good tasting, quality food anyone can afford. My recommendation for first timers has to be hands down a Pastrami and Chili Cheese fries. They are to die for. Chili Tamale is the best.

Thanks for the memories and I look forward...

I can walk there or...

Stopped by here this morning with a friend to grab some breakfast. He's a local with lots of good places to go so I was excited to come.
At a little over $5 with tax the breakfast sandwich (bacon, lettuce, tomato, egg) here was totally worth it. Savory, crunchy, not at all greasy. I definitely plan to come back for some more in the future.
As for parking and seating, lots of street and I believe some lot space and a number of benches/tables. Not huge, it might be full at peak times, so be prepared to wait. Monday at...
