Zenaida's café — Restaurant in East Los Angeles

The ham sandwich was a delightful taste. Nothing of it tasted unpleasant! It was just perfect. I honestly do not like mustard but when it is combined with different ingredients like this sandwich it just tastes really great. The smoothie too. Around $19 for a sandwich and a smoothie with a sliced orange fruit worth it. The only thing is that you might not find parking here. Took me alittle bit to find parking on the street.

A diverse group of drinks to choose from. I enjoyed my lunch here. There was even humming birds flying around and plants all round the tables and seats outside. It made me feel like I was in a forest enjoying my delicious sandwich! It also had some nice soothing music playing making me feel like if I was at peace...

My partner and I stopped by for breakfast since this place was near our Airbnb for the week. It was very convenient that we could place our orders online so that the tortas would be hot and ready when we got there. The woman working was super sweet and even let me know that she was remaking my order since she had missed that I had left a note about an avocado allergy the first time, which I really appreciated. The sandwiches were so fresh and filling, and we thought about them the rest of the week 😍 the thoughtful addition of orange slices with tajin made a nice fresh palate cleanser between chowing down. We ate right outside in the lovely succulent filled area out front....

The owner of this tiny cafe made my breakfast herself while talking to me about her experiences as a lifelong LA resident. I'm vacationing here and know little about the city other than what you read in travel guides or Wikipedia, so it was very interesting to talk to her.

The food is good, and the little garden patio is the best place to enjoy it.

This is basically what a good little hole in the wall cafe experience should be.

And it was...
