Ok, so I've been going to this place for years. Mainly for their pastrami sandwich, which is top notch. Also more recently for Taco Tuesday where they have tacos for 1.25 (chicken and asada) that are pretty good. This place also makes good BLTs. It's not fancy but always clean.

Great Diner in Gardena. Been coming for decades. All items are great tasting. My go to's are the Vermont Breakfast with Hashbrown and the chicken dinner with curly fries and an extra roll.They recently opened up again for dine in and it's the best way to experience and taste the delicious foods.When dining in you can also add fresh Cascabella & Jalapeños as sides from their condiment bar.They also have a small drive thru for quick to go orders
