LA: Breakfast at Rick’s Drive In & Out

LA: Breakfast at Rick’s Drive In & Out

After an early morning up by the Hollywood Sign, Trine and I were pretty hungry, so we drove to Rick’s Drive In & Out on Fletcher Drive for breakfast.

The menu at Rick’s is huge, and the restaurant is open from early morning until late at night. They’re probably best known for their burgers, but the breakfast is really good too. This isn’t the place to go for a fancy brunch, but if you’re in the mood for a good, solid breakfast at a good price, you’ve come to the right place.

I ordered the huevos rancheros, while Trine had a breakfast plate with eggs and sausage. Huevos rancheros is one of those dishes I often end up ordering for breakfast or brunch in the US. You almost never see it on breakfast menus back home in Denmark, but in California, the classic Mexican breakfast dish is everywhere.

Huevos rancheros typically consists of fried eggs served on tortillas with salsa and beans on the side. There are lots of different variations, but the combination of eggs, tortillas, and a good salsa is what makes huevos rancheros so good. It’s a pretty substantial way to start the day, but also really delicious. The portions were big, and we stayed full well into the afternoon.

Los Angeles is a city you don’t quite figure out all at once. It unfolds slowly, neighborhood by neighborhood, mile by mile. Vast and sun washed, cinematic and oddly intimate, it’s a place of constant contrast. Morning hikes in the canyons. Long lunches that stretch into late afternoon. Evenings that end by the ocean with salt in your hair and traffic humming somewhere in the distance. What I love most about LA is that it feels less like a single city and more like a collection of distinct worlds stitched together by freeways and palm trees. A strip mall might hide one of the best meals you’ll have all year. A quiet residential street can lead to a view that stops you in your tracks. The glamour is there if you look for it, but so is a relaxed, everyday rhythm that makes the city surprisingly livable. On this page, I’ve gathered my Los Angeles favorites. The restaurants I return to. The neighborhoods I linger in. The places that capture the particular mix of ambition, creativity, and laid back energy that defines the city.
