Well, if you ever find yourself at Cal State LA and you’re feelin’ hungry, don’t you worry none, ’cause they got a food court that’ll fill you up real good. Now, you might be wonderin’, what’s in that food court? Let me tell ya, it’s got all sorts of stuff. I ain’t no fancy restaurant critic, but I do know a good meal when I see one.
The Golden Eagle, that’s what they call the place, is right in the heart of the campus. It’s not just a food court, it’s got a whole bunch of other things too, like a big ol’ bookstore and a conference center. But let’s focus on the food part. It’s big and there’s enough options to make your head spin. Now, don’t get me wrong, it ain’t no five-star fancy restaurant, but for a college campus, it does the job.
They got places like El Pollo Loco open from 9 in the mornin’ all the way till 3 in the afternoon. If you don’t know what El Pollo Loco is, well, it’s a chicken joint, and let me tell ya, that chicken sure hits the spot when you’re hungry. You can get some tacos, burritos, and all that good stuff. Can’t go wrong with some well-cooked chicken, right?

Now, if you’re more of a coffee person, there’s this spot called King Coffee. They open up early, around 8 in the mornin’ and stay open till about 1 in the afternoon on Fridays. You know, sometimes you just need a good cup of coffee to get you through the day. And they got that covered too!
Now, when it comes to food, they ain’t just about the fast stuff. No, sir! You can also find some healthier options if you’re the kind that’s into salads and sandwiches. It’s always nice to have a little variety, especially when you’re busy and don’t wanna eat the same thing every day. They even got a menu you can look at online, so you don’t gotta walk all the way there to see what’s cookin’. Just pull out your phone, check the menu, and you’ll know what’s up!
But I gotta say, the best part about the food court is the atmosphere. It’s a lively spot with students all around, people chatting, eating, and just takin’ a break. You don’t gotta rush, you can sit down, relax, and enjoy your meal. Plus, it’s a good place to run into folks you know, so if you’re new to campus, it’s a good spot to make a few friends while you’re at it.
And let me tell ya, the whole place’s got a little somethin’ for everyone. Whether you’re a picky eater, or just lookin’ for something quick, there’s always somethin’ on the menu that’ll make your stomach happy. And if you’re worried about where to sit, don’t stress. There’s plenty of room for everyone, so grab a seat, put your feet up, and enjoy some grub.
So, next time you’re wanderin’ around Cal State LA, make sure to stop by the Golden Eagle food court. Whether it’s El Pollo Loco, a good cup of coffee, or just a quick bite to eat, you’ll find somethin’ to make your tummy smile.
