Tata's Cafe - Hawthorne, California

This spot doesn’t seem like much outside but inside it’s a different vibe. We waited a little over an hour. Once we got ordered we did notice that people who were sat after us were getting their food before us. However, when we did get our food, it was delicious. Made to order and so much flavor. We also ordered a strawberry lemonade and in my opinion it is by far the best one I’ve had. Now knowing wait time info, I can plan better for another visit.

First time customer and was very satisfied with the food and the service. will definitely be coming again! I ordered the chorizo potato burrito and it was HUGE, enough for 2 people. It was delicious. My partner ordered French toast with fresh fruit and that was also 10/10. Pictured are the caramel and mocha latte. Also a hit! Overall 10/10 experience highly recommend

OMG! This place was a hidden gem, but now I'd gaining some buzz! Today was my first day eating there. I had the Loaded Tots breakfast with feta and chicken sausage. To put it lately, the food was divine! I definitely recommend this place and will be back again. The waitress remembered my daughter's name, which goes a long way from a customer's standpoint.

Support your local businesses, and you might just find a hidden gem! Tatas Cafe is absolutely delicious. I tried the wet chorizo burrito, and not only was it packed with flavor, but it was also a shareable size—definitely worth it! The pancakes were soft, fluffy, and just as amazing. And the iced coffee? Perfectly made! Everything we tried exceeded expectations. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Last day in LA with my son and his wife and he says we're going out for breakfast. He said first time for him but place has good reviews. All I can say is can't wait for next time I get breakfast in SoCal!

Look at the presentation in these pics. Even the water with the dried citrus slice was cool - and flavorful. But the food was the star. Everyone had a different dish and presentation was outstanding. Food taste was delicious with great mix of heat savory flavors. Highly recommend.

Excellent find in Hawthorne.
Had breakfast, and was able to get a table by the front.
The food was off the charts, what a great collection of brunch types of food.
If ever even a little close to this area, it's well worth spending a few hours here enjoying the friendly staff and unbelievable good quality food here.

I wanted to try somewhere new for breakfast just googled and this is the first place I saw, so I said, why not.

I must say getting to this location was a little awkward when following the directions from Google Maps. I think it’s due to the fact that this restaurant doesn’t use their front door that faces Hawthorne blvd, they make you go around to the back, which is weird in itself.

The atmosphere was welcoming to adults and families, you have to wait to be seated, but you don’t actually get seated by someone, you get told, you can have a seat over there, and seat yourself. At the time we went there was no actual physical menu, they use QRS codes for menu, so you scan that and look at the menu on your phone.

I ordered the chicken and waffle with a hot chocolate and my guess ordered the beef Birria with bone marrow and some kind of pomegranate tea, which came in a tea press it was very cute.

As I sat waiting for my food, I of course looked at all the food that the people ordered and I must say their food presentation is on point, all the food looked pretty.

The Beef Birria, was tender and very tasty, I just wish you could order some rice to come with it. My guest really enjoyed their tea and they give you enough to make at least 2 cups right there at the table , When you order the chicken and waffles, you get a half fried chicken and the chicken was seasoned and flavored, and it was cooked well, it’s hard to describe the flavor of the chicken. It’s certainly different. It reminds me of some Asian or Thai grilled chicken that I’ve had before, so it was seasoned and savory, but it had a sweet honey sauce drizzled on top of it. It wasn’t bad but it was different but it was still good at the same time. I know it’s a weird description I’m giving you… Lol, my hot chocolate was cute and tasty. It says on the menu that is three different kind of chocolate and you can definitely taste the quality of the hot chocolate. It feels like a dark hot chocolate so it’s not very sweet, I had to add an extra sugar at the table but it’s delicious.

I will most definitely be going back to try other things on the menu. I didn’t even get around to trying the waffle because I was just all into the chicken… Lol if I order the chicken and waffle again, I most definitely will tell them to put my chicken to the side and not on top of my waffle. I suggest you do the same if you go on the chicken smashes the waffle and then they drizzle that honey sweet sauce you might not want that to mix with your waffles.

I think this is a great place to bring a date, for maybe breakfast or something.

The food was delicious! We ordered a chilaquiles with a red sauce and birria meat, a mimosa, a chilaquiles with a green sauce and birria meat, and a golden turmeric latte. Everything came out fairly quick and the food was really good! You do have to go around to the back of the restaurant in order to get in which can be confusing the first time. Plenty of parking off to the side of the building
