The Rooster — Restaurant in Los Angeles

If you love good breakfast burritos, please try The Rooster

Nestled on Pico Boulevard between Beverly Hills and Culver City, you’ll find that The Rooster offers one of the better breakfast burritos in Los Angeles.

The joint is unassuming at first. Walking in there were just two staff members in a big kitchen. The decor is lightly themed, with comfortable but limited indoor seating. But that’s all they need.

I got the Rico Suave, aptly named “the dopest of all breakfast burritos.” They didn’t lie. The presentation is excellent. Stuffed to the brim with perfectly crispy bacon, fluffy and crunchy tater tots, two over medium eggs perfectly folded into the flour tortilla rimmed with cheddar cheese, guacamole, and a sprinkle of Cotija cheese, this was one of the most appetizing burritos I’ve ever unwrapped.

The taste lives up to the hype. It was excellent start to finish. I honestly wish I had savored it more. The Cilantro Crema they serve it with is fantastic, but the real star is the Molcajete Salsa. Ask for two of those, you’ll want more!

Although I think it might be improved with a sauce that could combat the slight dryness of the burrito, getting a drink can fix that, and why even play with a perfect formula? They also offer chilled personal water cups straight from the fridge.

This place is fantastic, and I’ll definitely be taking friends here and coming back many times.

It's good, it's worth a stop, staff was friendly and helpful enough.

I can understand why The Rooster has been included in "the best" breakfast burritos in LA conversation.

The tots are crispy, the avocado is a must for the creamy/fatty/healthy component, the bavon is crispy but doesn't shatter, the cheese is cheesy and the cotija is crumbly salty, I appreciate a little brightness with the cilantro crema, though the fried is a tad over cooked for my taste. All for $12.50 which is actually on the lowish/medium end for hip breakfast burritos.

What was weird though and worth mentioning is that it's a cashless business. NBD, I get all the reasons why and it's nothing new, I pay with my credit card for bonus miles anyways. Buuuut, there's a charge for using your credit card... record scratch sound effect So I can't use cash and will have to pay extra for using a credit card, so I HAVE to use my debit card. Such an oddity that you have to print out a sign that says it twice in black text on white background AND white text in black background. I can afford the 3% or whatever full in the blank it is that day, but it's such a weird thing to me that you wouldn't just round up on your signature Rico Sauve breakfast burrito to $12.99 instead of $12.50 and nobody would bat an eye 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it's just me... but I still enjoyed the...

I love The Rooster and order food all the time. This morning I ordered a Bodega to go. I picked it up on the way to work. My orders have always been correct so I didn't bother to check it. Got to work and found an order of tater tots. Called a few times and finally someone answered, she said I could come back and pick up the correct item, but I can't leave work. She said she will refund my order. Hopefully she does. I was really looking forward to my Bodega this morning. I can't leave my office to get anything else so it's tater tots or having...
