I used to love eating at The Pantry. Wonderful food, and always a line out the door. Los Angeles was full of great restaurants back in the 70s, and I was fortunate enough to experience many of them.
Alas, my California is long gone, which is why I moved to Texas a dozen years ago.
We would have Breakfast there all the time. Always had an Omelet that was bigger than the Plate it was served on. That was when all the Waiters were grumpy old white guys. LOL Did you ever go to El Tepeyac in Boyle Heights and get a Hollenbeck Burrito? It was my first real Mexican Food. It even came with extra grease... Yummmmmmy!
