“HomeState’s menu could be considered an anthology of Texan folk remedies, from plates of eggy migas, to strong coffee, to Frito pies served steaming in the bag, but on fuzzy mornings, the breakfast tacos may be everything you remember and everything you still crave”- Jonathan Gold DEC 29, 2017 We’ve been sharing our best version of food from our home state of Texas since December, 2013. Our flour tortillas are made to order, by hand, and served hot off the comal, etc. Our brisket, queso and salsas; are made from whole foods, in-house, every day. Our locations in Hollywood and Highland Park are filled with friendly people, great music and a Playa Vista location is slated to open in March, 2019.
