“ I had the breakfast burrito and an iced latte. Coffee was perfect and food was delicious. So much cultural pride in this space. Plenty of seats both inside and outside. I appreciate that they have vegetarian options. Although their lot is small there is plenty of street parking on the adjacent street. Definitely coming back with the family. ”

“ The coffee is always on point, single origin for Latin American coffee regions. I’ve purchased their beans and recently had the food they serve. Mainly breakfast food burritos y chilaquiles. ”

“ Today was my second time visiting this place, so far everything that I ordered has been delicious. The machacha burrito is my favorite. And that vanilla latte is fire. Today I placed my order to go, as I was waiting I decided to buy a bag of coffee. But the employee told me that I have to wait in line again. My order was ready and I had to be somewhere. Just to let the owners know you lost 20 today. ”

“ I’ve been a fan of Picaresca since 2023, back when they were still on Soto — and ever since, I’ve been completely obsessed. While I definitely have my go-to favorites, I find myself constantly tempted to try new items off their menu (and they never miss). My first love was their Cafe de Olla Latte — a perfect blend of sweet, subtle citrus and bold, comforting flavors that instantly take you back to your Abuelita’s house. “¿Quieres un cafecito con pan?” One cup will have you wired for hours, in the best way. Then came the Evergreen Matcha Latte... and when I say it had a chokehold on me, I mean it. I needed one at least once a week. On chilly “sweater weather” days, I was stopping by twice for a hot Evergreen latte. Now that the sun’s out? I’m fully on the iced version. Just as addictive. For a filling breakfast, you can’t go wrong with the machaca burrito, the classic breakfast burrito, or the chilaquiles — hearty, flavorful, and made with love. Pro tip: swing by on weekdays if you can. Weekends get busy. ”

“ Great local coffee shop and coffee roaster. Second time visiting, tried their breakfast burrito and had their cafe de olla again. Line moves quickly, limited parking. ”

“ Let the guiding light of espresso, and great eats lead you to Picaresca Barra de Cafe. Approachable and attentive staff are very friendly, the espresso and breakfast menu is spot on delicious; the cortado is my favorite. LA & Coffee aficionados come check out some “increible” coffee. Btw the apple empanada is outstanding too!! #LAcoffee ”

“ Got the green and red chilaquiles. Both are delicious full of flavor. If you don’t eat spicy I recommend the green but if you love spicy I highly recommend the red ones they are what you call spicy spicy . I also got my mom an eggs with weenies burrito and she gave it a thumbs up . Very limited parking so you must look for parking in the street but it’s worth it. ”

“ This is a little and very popular spot, so be prepared to not get a place to sit. But oh my god is it worth it. We shared a plate of the chilaqiiles enfrijoladas, oh my lord. Just the right amount of spice, the flavor was incredible, be ready to get a little messy. For lactose peeps, I promise you get it without the cotija and sour cream and it's just as good. We also got the Pino latte and Mexican Mocha, both of which slapped. For vegans they have oat and almond milk too. Cannot wait to come back. Oh and they have this big cookie things? They're soft on the inside, we got the Ube one which was delicious. ”
