Centinela Cafe

Food was great. Great service especially the cashier daisy she is very fast,friendly and accurated in order taking. They need to work on tjere mexican food. But burger and chilly fries are the best.

I come here right after school! its great! the food is amazing and the employees are super friendly. Its very welcoming and enjoyable place to hang out with friends.

My brother and his gf liked it I have food allgeries so not much I could eat 5 stars cus they were very nice in here .nice and clean old fashioned dinner with your typical American and California food . Quick service.

I have been coming here ever since I can remember, the food has always been delicious, and staff super friendly and helpful! Even though I moved out of state everytime I come to a L.A. this place is must!! 😁😁🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰

Amazing 1/4 pound cheeseburger! I was in the mood for In N out but didn’t want to wait in a horribly long line. So I stopped here and I’m so glad I did! Really tasty burger overall, delicious fries. Classic style that absolutely hits the spot.

I read Centinela Café was burglarized yesterday and hope my review gives them a “boost”. Their food is freshly prepared and fairly inexpensive. I love their Mexican plates like the machaca and eggs as well as their breakfast burritos. You can’t go wrong with any of their specials either. This is truly a staple in the neighborhood and I hope they continue getting the business and recognition they deserve. Consider me a forever customer!

Had the scrambled eggs, chilaquiles, w/ hashbrowns, & small coffee. & Ordered French Toast to go! This was my first time trying their hashbrowns...I'm sure I could have specified extra crispy. Overall great chilaquiles as others have stated crunchy & not soggy at all. The last I visited I had the beans & rice option instead of the hashbrowns. Overall great portions & very filling. All orders are cooked uoon ordering. Expect a bit of a delay if they are busy I would think. Breakfast is served All Day! As I enjoyed my meal around 530pm. Didn't have my phone sorry no pics this time around.

This place has a very large menu and it’s not exactly fast food.they have a small indoor dining area the portions were very large. the food was pretty tasty.I found them menu rather generic but I’m sure most stuff on the menu would have pretty good flavor. prices for were fair.not a lot of parking in the parking lot probably better to park on the street

Warm, humble, clean, courteous, fast service. A neighborhood jewel. Enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Less than $20 for hash browns, bacon, sausage, eggs, toast and coffee. Great exhaust system...food smells wafted out right away. We just happened to get the wobbly table, it that ALSO added to the experience.

We come here all the time, and their huevos rancheros are hands down my favorite anywhere. The food is simple, done well, and always satisfying. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere feels welcoming and family-oriented, and it’s just a great neighborhood spot. Definitely worth visiting and supporting this local business.

Compliments to the chef! He had our food out very quickly on a very busy day! Anything on this huge menu is always delicious!

We come here often. Their huevos rancheros are my favorite anywhere!! Good basic food, friendly staff, family atmosphere. Definitely come and support this local business.

I have been coming here for years and live in the neighborhood. I’ve also had food catered for my Baby Sitting company and they have done a wonderful job of accommodating us. If you moved to the west side from either South LA are further east. This will be a great place to add to your charbroil burger experience.

I have been coming here since i was a child and i love their breakfast plates and their burgers and fries. They share a parking lot with 3 other businesses which is the only downside, but other than that i recommend it

Awesome place, great customer service, amazing food and it was very clean. I go there twice a week. So I like it a lot. Will be going back this Saturday for breakfast. And very inexpensive.

Food was great avocado burger was 8.5/10 fries 9.1/10! reason for the 4 star review is the wait was sort of long for a to go order next time I come I'll be dining in!

Great little place for breakfast. Fresh made, cut above the (pricey) rest. Inexpensive, sizable portions, great service. Can't beat for quality & price. Simple diner/cafe atmosphere. Definitely will come back.

Night called ahead in order to breakfast burrito and it was ready 7 minutes later. The staff is friendly and the cook is seriously skilled at the short order grill process. I love to watch the process.

Decent place, really good food. The service was a little bit on the slow side, but they were pretty busy and it was also thanksgiving, so I can't complain much. Coffee wasn't the best.

Hidden gem, they have a variety of choices for every craving. Want mexican food? Dont be feisty... You got it! Have a sweet tooth? Dont trip! Feeling alittle bit American? Did I mention easy on the wallet? Try the french vanilla coffee it's the best I went back twice in the same week. This place hasn't let me down yet but the fries could be better.

A wonderful, locally owned cafe with good food, a menu with a variety of offerings, and fair prices. Their burgers are quite well known in the neighborhood, we're partial to their breakfast.

An absolutely perfect place to get a quick (but nice) breakfast. Good service and nice prices. But most of all.... good food!

The cafe was recommended to me so I went for breakfast one day. It's hard not to like a family run place. I had a simple breakfast but I can say the pancakes and eggs were really good. I also like their salsa that I had on the eggs. Looking at their menu though it seems the really interesting foods are served at lunch so I'll definitely have to come back later.

This is the rib eye and eggs

They're prices are great for the area; however, I was discouraged to see that they're veggie options are more costly than some of the meat eater options. I also ordered a coffee with my breakfast that never came. And, FYI, there is no table service, although you can dine in. They'll bring you your meal, that's it.

Got the no-meat, Breakfast burrito. If you like potato this is the one for you. Was over 65% potato. No cheese, barely any egg. Ripping off Vegetarians! Will not return!

Descent family mom n pop diner. Ive been here for breakfast a few times and have had good experiences. The food is what you would expect for a place like this, the only reason for the 3 star review is soley because the place is a bit grimey and the salt n pepper shakers / ketchup bottle were sticky to touch, which is pretty gross.

Paid $12+ for the most basic tuna sandwich, no side or drink. Overpriced and disappointing.

Fair prices; 90's atmosphere; came back asked for a Pastrami sandwich Quite good however the service from the cashier/waitress not there :(

Bathroom was clean so that usually indicates a clean kitchen, but the windows were filthy absolutely greasy hand printed.

A bit overpriced at $10.50 for a turkey sandwich. Asked to add onions and got charged for it. $5 for fries, that were from a freezer. Otherwise stuff tasted fine if you don’t mind paying $18 for a turkey sandwich and fries.

Google maps took us here to the closest cafe in marina del Rey where we saw this payphone lol

Not sure what is the point of calling in an order. Waited 15-20 min beyond my 30-40 estimate for two breakfast combos. Must be the Sunday rush; seems like they were understaffed and stressed. After all that, the eggs were inedible goop, completely undercooked (even for sunny side up). I was so disappointed that I threw it out and picked up food elsewhere. I’ll give them another shot, but that was a rough first experience.

I paid almost $16 dollars for a cheeseburger and fries and the fries was burnt and it was a hair inside the thousand island.. I've benn here before and had no problem i don't know why it was different today I was so mad when i got home to eat it 🤬 never going here again I hate paying for thing I don't want

Terrible place the owner works in the kitchen preparing the food his name is Raphael but since he's the owner and the cook at the same time any kind there's a mistake or something is not right with your plate instead of him apologizing he gives you attitude definitely do not recommend this place if I could give 0 star I will do it

i just left this place and had a unique experience I figured I should share: a homeless guy with his penis out, reeking of urine wandered inside as I was ordering. since there were children inside I told the staff what was happening. they said "oh yeah he came in earlier" and seemed uninterested. i stressed that his penis was out, and got no reaction. i pointed out there were kids inside and was met with dumb looks. I canceled my order and walked out as parents whisked their children away in horror, as the staff ignored him and went about business as usual. unimpressed.

Didn't enjoy my first experience here. Order was wrong and food tasted horrible. Way too much salt in the food so I didn't bother finishing it. Food took a while to arrive as well which didn't help with the experience. Atmosphere was okay. Nothing to brag about.

Called to order ahead because I know how busy it gets during lunch time. The lady who answered literally let out a sigh when i told her i would like to order and hung up the phone really quickly before I could order another thing.

This place used to be delicious a few years. However things have changed drastically. Starting with customer service, cashiers are extremely rude and unprofessional. Felt the sense of annoyance from them when it’s their job to be there. (Same when you call I. For take-out) I called in for take out and was given a time of 15 minutes, 40 minutes later I’m still waiting. Prices are very high now, a meal for two might get you up to about 30 dollars at least. Chili cheese fries are over 10 dollars And a jr cheeseburger is also around the same price. I used to be a regular here but after today I won’t be back for a while But I doubt I’ll be back unless I’m really craving it. Last, the atmosphere is not pleasant anymore Outdated arcade games, buttons don’t work and little candies dispensers are old. Probably expired
