WHO ARE WE//

In 2013, native Texan Briana Valdez opened HomeState, an ode to Texas cuisine in Los Angeles with the mission of evoking community and creating a home for everyone, no matter where they are from. HomeState represents the integrity, history, and culture of Briana's roots.

HomeState aims to create a dining experience that goes beyond the food. The way our guests feel at HomeState is the true mission of our efforts. HomeState exists for everyone. The price point, casual vibe and portability of the food allows the restaurant to flex to the needs of many. HomeState is a recipient of the KCRW "Best Tortilla in Southern California" award.

No matter where you're from, HomeState is your home away from home. A space where every person feels welcomed and valued. We serve hospitality first and tacos second. And we're hiring kind people
