Sausalido Cafe — Restaurant in Torrance

Came here on a whim due to hunger pangs as my car was being worked on by my mechanic. I was greeted by a man by the name of Julius and his lovely wife Lucy both whom I correctly assumed were the owners. They had a dignified and most welcoming countenance about them. I ordered the Dragon noodles with chicken and a house made strawberry soda. I must say, though he admitted that this was his version of pad Thai, it rivals the best of them out there. It was scrumptious and had perfectly balanced flavors that makes you want to keep shoveling in your mouth. No joke, some of the best noodles I’ve had which is surprising coming from an unassuming little cafe. You can taste the care that went into this dish. Needless to say, I was very impressed. The lesson here is this: don’t overlook little businesses such as these for you will be pleasantly surprised just as I was with this little cafe called Sausalido Cafe on a non descript strip mall. Let’s support one another by supporting small businesses such as these! Man, those...

The Sausalido Café is a small café that is next to the Alonda Park and is closed to El Camino College. I discovered this cafe while I was walking by my Dentist's office. I went inside of the cafe. It was a small & contemporary cafe. It was very clean and maintained nicely. I was greeted by a man who was friendly, helpful, and attentive. This cafe offered various international foods such as American foods, Thai foods, and Asian foods. I didn't have time to try their lunch so I only ordered the drink. I ordered a Thai Boba Tea. I liked the tea which wasn't sweet and it was refreshing and delicious. I loved their tea which was not sweet. Most of the other Thai Boba Tea shops put too much sugar. Next time, when I come here again, I will definitely try their meals. This Sausalito Café is the restaurant that offers various international menus and they make everything fresh homemade foods. Also, they have excellent customer...

Stopped in for a quick breakfast this morning. My partner and I got breakfast paninis and our child tried the pancake combo.

The sandwiches were good, but definitely needed the hot sauce, they were a touch light on flavor and the "special sauce" was a bit too sweet for my taste. Maybe if the sandwich came with some veggies or fruit, it might have brought it up a notch. Still good, we cleared our plates.

We enjoyed the coffee and the hot chocolate was pretty good.

Service was over the top good, definitely an owner operator vibe and they seem very eager to make sure you leave happy.

Did seem a bit cluttered in there, especially behind the counter, but it seemed clean so I just went along with the classic "hole in the wall" vibe.

Might try a noodle or rice dish one of these days for lunch/dinner they looked...
