Yagul Cafe — Restaurant in Santa Monica

For food I decided to go with Eliseo’s Scramble which is chicken sausage, mozzarella, caramelized onions, avocado, pico de gallo and was served with potatoes & whole wheat tortilla. It was so good and I scarfed it down after wrapping everything in my burrito which was plenty large enough to do so. Perfectly heated and warmed so rolling was...
