34 Best Breakfast Restaurants near El Monte

“The Jolly Jug is one of those iconic places that can never be duplicated. The original Jolly Jug was in South El Monte in the 1930s and people came from all around to eat their famous Pastrami’s and Beef Dip sandwiches. Going into another century of their delicious food and cold beer, you can’t go wrong by making a pit stop here. In a world of hip restaurants trying to reinvent LA cuisine, the Jug is comfort food, done right. ❤️“

“My company used Crossroads for a very long project that required catering every weekday for over three weeks. Helen was quick on delivery, she was willing to work with us to add variation to the lunches and her prices could not be beat. The employees we were training highly complimented all the food. Sandwiches, wraps, tacos, bento bowls and salads. All of it was delicious. I cannot thank Helen a Crossroads enough for her hard work and wonderful food.“

“This place is such a hole in the wall, would honestly come back. This place been around for a while but I never know this place exist because it’s so hidden.The service is a bit slow when prepping the food, but their tacos are to die for. I would come back any day for tacos!Parking lot is shared with other shops but not too busy! The menu is consistent and so is their food!Would come back again! Don’t let the small shop and sketchy look deceive you!“

“THE Best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had!! I’ve been here 3 times in the last year and half because I’m so obsessed (I don’t live in the US). The flavour is just perfect. I always get the impossible haus burrito. I also tried the tater tots this time and loved it. 11/10“

“I would like to recommend Veronica as the waitress of the day. She is an excellent waitress, very nice & thoughtful. My friend & I have gone the last 2 Wednesdays for lunch & she waited on us both times. Also the food was good too.“

“First of all , the atmosphere was calm and excellent not too much noise and not too quiet, the music in the background was just perfect the service for me was 10/10, and the food was just stunningly perfect,
I would for sure recommend this place.“

“The wait to order our food was kind of long due to the fact they only have 1 waitress working. That is normal at this place. The poor woman was running around trying to deal with 8 other customers. I got some cranberry juice which was warm. My hash browns were kind of raw on the inside but the outer part was crispy and a little burnt. I was not offered syrup with my pancakes. I did have strawberries on them but the pancakes were very dry and the strawberries were way too mushy. I finally asked for some strawberry syrup. It took a while for our waitresses to see if we needed anything due to the fact she was the only one working tables. She was a very nice woman and was doing the best she could with that many customers. They really do need at least 2 people working at the tables. She was also working the register. That is not right IHOP.“

“The food was great, great little place“

“This place has amazing bread baguette and its always made fresh. I always come here and get the baguette, because the bread here is good for the next day not like other place it become hard the next day. Services is here is amazing the cashier lady is always nice and kind. I like coming here and highly recommended.“

“We had the most OUTSTANDING service from Elizabeth again today!! Not only did she remember us from last time, she once again had the sweetest, kindest personality by any server any of us can ever remember! No exaggeration, she made every one of us feel SO welcomed that she instantly had us all in a better mood within minutes! She was attentive, easy going, funny, and made what would have been an average meal, an EXCEPTIONAL one! There's no question that good service is few and far between these days, and Elizabeth not only met our (high) expectations - she absolutely EXCEEDED them in every possible way! If you are visiting this particular location, be sure to ask if Elizabeth is working and to be seated in her section - you will be so happy that you did!!! ❣️“

“First presentation, the smell is amazing. I got the Cajun burrito which was a lovely, sweet and spicy fluffy eggs. The mayo is on point very good value for the burrito. I just had the tater tots tortilla so fresh genuinely the service was amazing. She took my order she was super helpful helping me pick the burrito. The flavor is so great it’s spicy. It’s tasty savory wow this is not like a normal burrito and keep in mind. This was literally done in like five minutes. I was in there and had a chance to talk to people picking up Uber eats orders. They had told me that this place was the shit, I was able to find this place out. Will be coming back soon.“

“It's IHOP. My boyfriend wanted pancakes and I can't fill him up on $5 anywhere else. Only went there because we were leaving town and had a long day. It's in a Strong asain community with so much good food. Ihop is for tourist and mexicans in the area. That being said, the pancakes were very good. The service was very good. And the price was right. Nothing wrong with it. Just a lot of other good options in the area if your open to non-american food. If you really just want to eat what your used to, it's a good quality option.“

“Friendly staff, delicious food ❗️❗️“

“Dollis in Covina is my go-to breakfast spot — and has been for years!
I’ve been coming here with my family for as long as I can remember, and it never disappoints. The Dolli Special is my favorite — classic, delicious, and always hits the spot. The service is consistently friendly and fast, the prices are super reasonable, and the place is always clean and welcoming. There’s just something about the atmosphere that feels like home. Love this place! 💛🍳🥓“

“Super clean and my Favorite Mediterranean Chicken Salad !! The Combibation breakfast burritos are delicious. We enjoy their breakfast specials too !! And their staff are really nice great food and service. Drive thru is pretty quick as well but we enjoy dinning in.“

“Very courteous staff. Waitress who came to serve me was polite and respectful. Ordered omelette and pancake. Ordered to eat there and switched to carry out. She was respectful and immediately brought boxes and helping transfer. Food was overall tasty

Parking: Open parking lot“

“I had not been to IHOP in a while. Stopped in while waiting to pickup a family member. Steady parade of customers observed while sitting near the cashier.

Ordered a discounted 55+ senior breakfast and substituted (my favorite) protein pancakes for the basic. The plate was very warm and kept the food warm throughout the meal. Eggs overeasy and crispy bacon. All cooked as ordered. Pancakes were a smaller than regular plates. Still, plenty of food.

Jose took care of everything I needed during the meal. Helpful, efficient and kept the table from being cluttered.

Parking was easy and everything, in and out, was clean and well maintained.

Stop on by when you have a chance. Lots of upgrades are happening.“

“This place is lowkey and so legit. We love getting the taiwanese purple rice rolls, pork buns, and hot tea (that tea is a steal ngl). There's enough menu items you can take your time exploring, or eat some tried and trues. Everything tastes made from scratch. Prices are affordable. The servers are so sweet and kind. Like what's not to love?? The majority of customers are Chinese speaking, but we got by fine with English XD Morning Summit is always the perfect way to start your day...arguably best breakfast place in town!“

“My husband would come here as a teenager with his grandparents. He has such fond memories here so we decided to stay at the hotel and enjoy the Terrace restaurant. We had a lovely time and impressive that the hotel and restaurant are still just as wonderful. The food and service were both excellent. The atmosphere is peaceful and overlooks the pool. A great spot for brunch or lunch.“

“Been a while since I've been here. I like the new updated menu items. Honestly, food options look way better. Glad they brought back chicken stuffed creeps. Service is awesome. Friendly staff. Lots of tables even outside.

Parking: Lots of space depending on the time you go

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu and I believe they still give crayons with the activity sheet

Wheelchair accessibility: 3 parking spaces close to the entrance“
