The Thirsty Merchant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I first heard of this place from a friend that works across the street from it, we met up there for the Mexico-Brazil soccer match, the place opened earlier to accommodate soccer fans (good business sense). Thank you. I proceeded to order a vegetarian (sans meat for those that don't know) breakfast burrito, it arrived within normal time but it wasn't a vegetarian dish so I HAD to send it back, this time it took the bartender almost 30 minutes to place the order, once I inquired she said it was coming out. Fine, I was hungry.

Needless to say the second burrito was nasty, I took a bite and was appalled, it was tasteless, cold and sad. I figure they used water in the eggs instead of milk when mixing the eggs (I would rather they don't add anything but oh well), the flour tortilla was crumbling due to the fact that wasn't even warmed up.

Of course, the bartender was pushing the beer like a mofo. I'm sorry but if your burritos don't have make the cut, I'm not consuming alcohol to mask the nastiness. Will never go to that place again and won't reccomend it either. Sorry Ignacio (the...

Liked going to this place for drinks, food & great service from waiters. However, yesterday was not the case . Security guy at door (Corrie) has a horrible attitude . So I Decided to take a Starbucks drink for a waiter since he’s so sweet all the time and gives us excellent service .When the loose cannon by the door went off!! This guy made a huge huge deal !! because I was taking a coffee to a waiter. Talking about he ain’t gonna drink that!! I know him on a personal level!!! .. I was like Wow Bro really ! This guy literally went off on me , my sister and friend .So I finally was able to give drink to waiter . He had to literally come out since guy at door didn’t believe I knew him.. . (Not a good idea to have a lose cannon working there specially as security! ) I wonder how many people he has gone off on!!. We were planning on staying but literally killed our vibe. Won’t be going there anymore . Hey (Corrie )find another job it’s clear you...

So this was a real treat in our West Coast adventure. Obviously, being football fans in a family where we all support different teams, finding a location where we can all see our games is a plus. The atmosphere was perfect with a variety of fans and all games on a television. It was instantly recognizable that you wouldn't be cheering alone. The food was delicious and the beer was cold! I highly recommend the garlic buffalo sauce. The bartenders are top notch, I wanted to order two shots of Crown Apple chilled. The bar doesn't carry that liquor, so I resigned myself to regular Crown. Not to see me leave disappointed, the bartender offered to turn the Crown shots into Washington Apple shots, which hit the spot. As for the atmosphere, visiting from New Jersey, the vibe was any hometown sports bar. People were warm and polite. If I were to live in LA, this would be my go-to spot for football and relaxation with...
