HomeState, 3170 Glendale Blvd, Unit A&D, Los Angeles (Atwater Village), CA 90039
HomeState keeps opening new locations and I’m happy about it. HomeState’s female founder, Briana Valdez, moved to Los Angeles and missed the Tex-Mex food, including breakfast tacos ($3.50 and up), anytime tacos, queso, brisket, migas, etc. They use pasture-raised eggs and that does make a difference. Breakfast is served all day but it seems to be busier around lunch time than early in the morning. There are vegetarian and vegan options. They have beverages, including margaritas. It’s the perfect brunch spot.
I was a regular for awhile because I love their migas. I tried a variety of things and the tacos are good but Classic migas are special. The tacos seem small but with migas, you get a lot of eggs.
Classic migas ($8.50): scrambled eggs with crispy corn strips, onions, cheddar cheese. The eggs are soft and fluffy, the cheese melted and stretchy, and the chips add a little texture. It’s like chilaquiles minus the sauce and with more eggs. Love dousing migas with their housemade red and green salsas and adding a housemade flour tortilla ($1) so that I can make my own breakfast burrito. The tortilla is served warm and a little thicker than your usual flour tortilla.
House coffee: Bitter but drinkable, free refills
Order at the counter and get a number. They’ll bring your order to you. The food arrived fairly quickly. The place is cute – the outdoor patio is covered and has music and string lights – a relaxing place for tacos. There’s a station where you can get hot sauce, salt, pepper, water, etc. The employees also check in with you to see if you need anything. Service is good.
4.5 out of 5 stars

Tex Mex Chicken Bowl
Why should tacos have all the fun? These chicken bowl are just as fast and easy. Uber flavorful spiced chicken. The marinade packs a big citrusy punch with lime, lemon, garlic and chiles. I recommend seeking out sun-dried chile powder if you can, as it makes a world of difference. It’s very easy to source online.
