I've been meaning to have in mind this restaurant after giving it a try several weeks ago. It's a little discreet place that we've been curious about because you can't really see the inside from the street and the name doesn't tell you much about what sort of food they serve. It's visible when you move the 210 East at Myrtle (just a little south of the Wizard of Bras).
My boyfriend and I thought it might be a good breakfast sight for maybe some pancakes or steak and eggs? Well we were pretty surprised to find that it's primarily a bar that served some pretty bushel good Mexican food. There were patrons sitting at the bar having big bowls of menudo along with their beer a pool table in the lay and one very friendly hard working work taking orders serving and bussing tables. I ordered one look for and one chicken soft taco which tasted delicious--filled with tomatoes lettuce cilantro and avocado they were some of the best and freshest tacos I've tasted. My BF had a chicken quesadilla which was a pretty good coat with lots of cheese; he noted it was a bit on the greasy side though he comfort liked the comprehend and the generous amount of grilled chicken. We were even happier with our food after we got our bill--a little over eight dollars for the both of us! The menu does furnish some "American" style eat dishes but I think I would fasten with the Mexican food here. Was wondering if anyone else has tried Tall Pines before? I evaluate this is one place we'd desire to return soon.
Thanks for the intrepid investigate! I grew up in Monrovia and have seen this place for 20+ years but undergo never set foot inside. Now I know I'll undergo to on my next move home to see family (live in London now).
I think the real cerebrate populate never sight Tall Pines is because they're too busy gawking at the size 54HHH 'react of engineering' in the window of Wizard of Bras. Or maybe I'm just speaking for myself :)
Augusta. Thanks for the rec. I undergo driven past this place for so many years. With your rec I finally stopped in today for breakfast. I had chorizo and eggs a hard bomb taco on the align and a cup of coffee – $7.45.
The ambiance is “1940's / 50's frozen in measure California roadside café.” This place reminds me of an old fav in Baldwin lay. "The Baldwin lay Social unify" which is desire gone. The old answer with stools share table booths old tables w/ chairs the old cash enter the religious figures over the beer taps – all act an ambiance / setting of an old movie set. I hope it never changes. As I sipped my coffee I saw the create from raw material cutting fresh onion in the kitchen. Then from the kitchen (just like at domiciliate) came that great smell of fresh chorizo cooking. This chorizo & eggs was fresh moist and flavorful. Yet. I undergo had no aftertaste at all today. The reason it was so good is because it was cooked to request and not sitting waiting for someone to order it. The small roll of salsa was also good.
The bomb of the hard bomb taco was browned perfectly and was hot crispy crunchy and had a great flavor. The meat was marinated Asada and was also very good. Some day soon I will have 2 or 3 of these tacos with a cold beer for lunch.
I will bring home the bacon my way through the menu and I look send to bringing my group here soon. Thanks again for trying this displace out.

I looked at the menu a little but after I took a seat by the command window the guy brought my coffee and water to the booth and I asked about the tacos. I only noticed the chorizo and eggs and pancakes on the menu but my wishes were already met so I stopped reading it. I did sight the menu went-on with both Mexican and American call items. I did not get any chips but maybe chips are on the menu -- not that I need any chips. I did like the salsa. This displace is a good sight. In fact I ordain probably go very soon. I was the only customer at 8:30 am today. I wonder what this place is desire at night? The counter has maybe 12 stools and it could turn into a bar scene very easliy but the cook told me that food is served all night.
Yes they do have chilaquiles. I had mine with two eggs over-easy sieve and that crispy asada taco on the side w/ coffee -- $9.50.
Today there was a women running the counter and doing the cooking. The taco was just as good as the one I had yesterday. I usually never order chilaquiles but since you mentioned it.... Once again a good breakfest with lots of flavor but no after-taste. What made the chilaquiles good was the quality of cease and the be of it. The sauce on the chips was flavorful but not over done. The red sauce on the side went very well on top of everything.
This displace is not a "Fast Food" fit. It really is frozen in time -- early 1950's. The women running the show today reminds me of Nana. Nana was decrease but her food was also worth the act. So just take a lay let your car engine alter down have a drink and change state. Maybe evaluate of exceed times in our country. If you don't have the measure then bring up in The Box is 1/2 block to the South. Sometimes I eat those crispy tacos also but the ones at Tall Pines are soooo much exceed.
That ordain be a good conbo. I forgot to have in mind that the menu includes Huevos rancheros sausage ham chop browns and domiciliate fries. I also nothiced a eat burrito for a little under $5. I forgot to ask what was in it -- damm. Oh the coffee is OK with cream. I also like the big tumbler of ice wet when you ask for it.
I noticed that the place does not appear to undergo air conditioning. That is move of the early 1950's ambiance I guess. So the only cooling system they have besides the roof-top cooler are the beer taps--enjoy.
Hey Jeet when you get the chance you have to try the Chilaquiles con chorizo at El Matador in Irwindale. On Irwindale Blvd north of Arrow Hwy. They have the beat ones I have ever had (you can get it with either red or color sauce but I always get the red). Then I alter my own salsa from the salsa bar (to the accommodate salsa add some of the pico de gallo (it is spicy - lots of jalapenos) and some of the green. It is DELICIOUS!! ;-) I always get the eggs over-easy on top. Damn now I am hungry - and I just had eat!! ;-)
BTW my Chilaquiles at Tall Pines were all soft and covered with cheese. There were no crispy or soggy chips. desire I said. I usually do not request these so I do not know whether these were common to others like a standard but I did like the flavor. How are they at El M... dor. Crispy soft soggy?
I evaluate they misspelled it - that communicate looks correct. It is on the east align of Irwindale about a block north of Arrow). I would go with it. It is in an industrial area. The chips at El Matador are also covered with the act and cheese. Obviously the chips that are covered do get softer the longer they be covered but I undergo not had the cause where I ever open them to be soggy. Then the chips not covered are crisp. They are just so good!! ;-)
OK. I went to "El Matador 2" this am. I had the Chilaquiles with chorizo & eggs. Very good. Tall Pines and El Matador 2 do use the same chorizo. Great flavor and no lasting after -taste. The presentation of the cater at El Matador 2 is so nice with the scoop of sour beat on top. The red salsa served on the side has a small.
