Mila's Centre City Cafe

Huge portions, great service. Got the Cinnamon roll and biscuits and gravy. Definitely PLENTY of food. Restaurant was clean and I was greeted promptly.

Party of 4. About 10am. Not busy. Service started out great. By the time the food arrived, we were the only people on that side of the restaurant. Service still good. Finished eating and sat there talking. Check delivered and paid. Service ended. We sat there talking at a table full of dirty dishes, and empty coffee cups. Server never returned... I bussed the table but the server never said another word to us. I could understand if the place was busy, but it wasn't. Don't think I'll return. 3 stars because the food was good, but not good enough to make me ignore the unwelcomed feeling.

The omelettes are huge. Ingredients are mixed together, not just sitting in the middle of some folded over eggs. My wife ordered the pancakes and regretted the order when she saw on another table how much fries or onion rings you get with a burger. The pancakes were good though.

First time visitor to Mila's Cafe, we had a groupon which was a great way to encourage us to try out a new place. This uses to be known as the Center City Cafe and has a been an Escondido landmark on the south of Center City Parkway for many years. The decor is very reminiscent of a classic country diner with booths along the window and those large round booths in the corners. There is also an outside covered patio shaded with vines looking very inviting. It was a joy to come here for brunch, The food was very tasty. The menu had a few dishes on it that were not typical of a country diner menu. The Cobb salad was generous on the toppings. The Halibut dinner was tasty with the fish juicy and flaky. Perfect. Coffee was free flowing. This was a very good experience for us and will make us come back again to try something else on the menu.

Great food every time, good service and tv's to watch. This is one of the top three breakfast places in Escondido. Good food is worth a little wait.
