Angry Egret Dinette - Los Angeles

Today, we bid farewell to the Angry Egret Dinette, where the waffles were so delicious that my son thought about swapping his video games for the recipe. Their homemade hot sauce packed more heat than a caffeinated kangaroo, and those papa fritas were so irresistible that they should have carried a warning label. Here’s to a place that brought joy with every meal and made our taste buds ponder reality. The Angry Egret, you will be missed—especially by my son’s sweet tooth and my love for spice. Cheers to a unique dining experience that we will not soon forget!

It was absolutely perfect. It's such a pity that it's closing down. Angry Egret will be greatly missed.

When we visited, the espresso machine was down, and the service left much to be desired. With only a handful of tables inside, we found ourselves constantly waiting for water and other needs. Overall, it wasn't the best experience.

Look: the food is amazing. Our party of three ordered three different things (Atwater Burrito, Second Breakfast Sandwich, and a special veggie breakfast burrito that I can't remember the name of , and they were all delicious. My only complaint food-wise was the hibiscus agua fresca, which was SO SWEET that it was straight up Kool-Aid. I really hated it. Unfortunately, they don't seem to have a real system for service. We were asked four times by 3 different people if we needed water/drinks, and then twice if we needed a starter before ordering our brunch. We were stopped so often by people trying to tell us the specials that we finally had to tell them to please give us a minute to look at the menu. Then after we did order, another person came to ask us for our order again. And after all this, guess what? OUR ORDER WASN'T PUT IN PROPERLY. One person's drinks and a second person's entree had to be totally re-ordered after we got our food. They did the right thing and comped the late dish, but it was truly an afternoon of chaos. We'll go back, because the food was so great (and we're hoping it was just a REALLY off day? Or that maybe someone didn't show up and they were over-compensating and under-performing? Or maybe someone will even get fired? . We'll just cross our fingers and hope we don't regret giving them a second chance.

Great food. Fish tacos, guacamole, tomatoes, and cubano. Service was thoughtful. Thought it would be hard to find, but it was simple. Street parking was available. Wonderful early dinner experience glad we made reservations. It was full inside and out.
