I started eating at the LA Express Cafe in 2016 when I worked on the fourth floor of that building. I’ve since left that job, but I still drive there a couple times a month as a special treat to myself.Yes, the food is that good!The owners, John and Linda are extremely friendly and are willing to accommodate just about any special request you can think of. Be warned: asking for extras will result in an upcharge! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people whining about the price of adding avocado. Get over it, you damn cheapskates!An off-menu suggestion: the “Chuck’s Pick” breakfast burrito. It’s two hash browns, eggs, cheese, salsa, and avocado. It’s vegetarian and tastes freaking amazing. Like, good enough to drive to Gardena all the way from Beverly Hills just to get one.On-menu suggestions: the BLT + fries is one of the best in LA. The chicken nuggets are out of a bag, but the cook has some trick that makes them taste like they’ve never been frozen. The “Coach’s Pick” is great for a rainy day. As is a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato!Helpful tip: the tortilla soup is pretty good, but all the soups are EXTREMELY hot. I’ve burned my mouth countless times. Take the lid off and let it cool for ten minutes (or longer) before you attempt to eat it. Unless you want your face to melt off like that guy at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark!
