home restaurantEven though the summer is officially over, the heat doesn’t seem to go away quite yet… as a matter of fact, the current weather makes being outdoors a much more enjoyable and pleasant experience. If you would like to enjoy a nice brunch/ early dinner al aire libre and you happen to be in the Los Feliz area, there’s a quaint little joint that will make eating out so effortless and comfy que te sentirás como en casa. Se trata de “Home”, un restaurante que hace hasta lo imposible por hacerte sentir como si estuvieses en casa, hence the name. It doesn’t matter what you’re craving, en “Home” lo encontrarás… whether you want to get your fast food fix or you’re a health freak, at this joint they cater to all.


“Home” sweet home

Home restaurantMost of “Home’s” charm, if not all of it, comes from its looks… not the food, not the drinks, not even the desert. It’s one of those places that you go to just to experience the ambiance and the whole enchilada… nada más, nada menos.

While that’s a tad unfortunate, it’s nothing to cry about, ya que vale la pena visitar este changarro aunque sea a one-time-only thing. 

The main appeal “Home” has it’s their outdoor eating are… it’s magnificent, relaxing, and simply astonishing.  You get to eat on a multi-level deck surrounded by trees and a koi pond.

La comida

At “Home” you’ll find a wide selection of food, ranging from hearty comfort food, to fast food, to diner style meals, to full on entrees, and even healthy choices for the cholesterol conscious.

home restaurant chicken blt sandwichA great “starter” is that chicken BLT, it comes with avocado and a delicious aioli spread, the chicken is tender and juicy that’s well complemented by the other toppings.

Si tienes un apetito feroz and you need more food and less “fillers”, go for the Southern chicken fried steak & eggs- you’ll get a scrumptious breaded steak with gravy and three large eggs al gusto, fries, and your choice of white, wheat, or sourdough toasted bread.  The chicken is tender and it has some crispiness to it, pero lo principal de este platillo es el gravy, which is exquisite; it’s tasty but it isn’t overly thick as it usually happens with gravy.

If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, the Tofu curry bowl is a great choice. It comes with squash, broccoli, and carrots served on a bed of rice.

Drink up!

Otra cosa chida de “Home”, es que it’s never too early to start getting you drink on at this joint. One of their signature drinks that’s a must have its their Blueberry Mojito- it has Cruzan White Rum, blueberries, lime juice, mint leafs, and soda water… so refreshing and strong.

Si no se te antoja una bebida con “piquete”, their Blackberry Fairy is the way to go. You get a caffeine free herbal tea made with hibiscus and lemongrass.

If you want desert, you’ll certainly find some yummy selections at “Home”, but don’t go crazy over their sweets. Si en solamente quieres algo para endulzarte la vida, don’t even think twice about it, this three words will drive you nuts: vanilla latte martini.
